    Says the Ford fan. I rest my case. How exactly is he a Ford fan? Good grief man. Why be an ass about everything? I thought the same thing.. OLDs of all people is quite open minded about vehicles he likes and why he likes them/they suit his needs. He's been pretty open about liking a lot more older Camaros and Pontiacs than Mustangs. I mean his freakin' name and pic are of GM products! This is the biggest reason I cannot stand Mr. Bong. Complete ignorance but he saw a brand/person-humping-said-brand get slightly insulted and takes literal offense to it.. And he has class to refer to other people as "children".

    I think what he was insinuating was that the Mustang was not in the competition for Car of the Year. Therefore it did not directly beat it. The Mustang was not there because it was not new for 2016 model year therefore it was not even in the running for COTY, if I remember correctly.

Give it another year or two and I'll hopefully be buying one of these used.

    welllllll they also changed the naming scheme in doing that where all even numbers were coupes, right? So it opened up a slot for a 1 series
  5. ccap41
    The 2 Series is bigger and RWD so it really doesn't have much in common with the 1 other than "replacing" it. The 135i was RWD as well

Looks fun as hell. Pretty dang quick as well 13.3 through the 1/4.. It would just be hard to justify buying that for 25k when I could probably find an S550 Mustang GT for close to that at this point.

    Nothing's perfect, and I certainly don't believe that means there's no merit in these comparos. I don't put too much stock in finishing orders- especially if they're close- or in some of the super subjective thoughts, but at the same time, if every outlet out there is proclaiming a car to be the best or worst in it's segment, there's prolly something to that. I agree with both of you. Magazines are about selling..magazines and getting people to click on their links. It is still a business after all that has to be funded to do their job. Consistently finishing towards the bottom or top is more respectable as it seems harder for everybody to be on the same page so if the all are they it seems like a winner. Buuuuuuut theres a huge "but"... everybody has different needs out of their vehicle. 99% of people never take their cars to a track..ever.. Which is where all of the arm chair racing from the fanboys comes from. And most consumers don't really care about how sporty of a chassis is under a car which is why the Mazdas still just don't sell that well. Very good cars and they seem to win a lot of magazine praise but they still aren't for everybody. People forget through magazine test numbers that numbers don't make a car magically suit every body's needs.

    Stupid idiots. How do you do something like this and not expect it to make it through SEC? How many accountants allowed this to knowingly happen? f@#ks should be fired. I hate it because of how many ppl had to have known something and turned the other cheek all while penalizing EVERY shareholder who's trying to help your corporation and themselves. Basically. Thieves.

    You have literally had a song, picture, or meme for everything ppl have randomly thought about...and I love it! Hahaha

    3.8 Liters per Flush.. or one Grand Prix per flush.. bad joke..

    Agreed, they do make a good product. The difference in brand quality these days is so miniscule as to be nearly irrelevant. It primarily comes down to personal taste and comfort level. Thank you! Some just see one tenth here or there and call it an ass whoopin.. Minute differences means it's a driver skill battle. Also, in my opinion, I think they should be more alone the lines of the softer slightly more "daily-able" Mustang in their SS and GT trims because they have the 1LE/ZL1/GT350®/GT500 for the hardcore crowd. Make the lesser, sub ~40k trims a little more docile and livable and turn the wick up on the track variances. These all just need to sell if we want them to stick around. It's all good and dandy to have the quickest car but that costs the company more to engineer and produce and to keep these cars around...they have to make money off of them.

    Very good review, Frisky! My buddy with his MK6 GTI has the SAME EXACT thoughts on the sluggish transmission in "normal" and then it holds gears too long if you put it in "sport". The way you described it couldn't have been any more similar to how my buddy has described his.

    " The court said that because GM didn’t notify customers about the ignition switch recall before its bankruptcy that stopping them from suing the automaker would violate their right to due process protected by the constitution." http://www.motortrend.com/news/court-rules-old-gm-defense-ignition-switch-cases/

    Yeah.. between $600-and 700+ dollars.. Not to mention the time. I don't kno about U.. but I can use that saving to do something fun this weekend Absolutely! I would most certainly like to save 6-700 bones to go do something fun rather than a repair cost.

    To go with this..kind of.. Personally, I would rather have a loaded up smaller vehicle than a stripped down larger vehicle. I could have bought an Edge when I bought my escape but it would have been a lesser trim, 2wd(not like I NEED AWD), and it would have literally only been a larger vehicle.

    "Ultimately, they just need to make good product." They do.. Do they make the absolute best performance car in the segment? No. But there are plenty of shortcomings of both cars that make people buy or not buy one of them. They're 2+2 coupes and A LOT of people daily drive these and sometimes you have to sacrifice some things for the greater good of the customer. As enthusiasts it kind of sucks but it's a reality the engineers HAVE to put into consideration because the car HAS to sell.

    I walked my local ford dealer last week and there were 3 V6's, 2 ecoboosts, and 2 5.0s. Well.. The Alpha platform kind of sells.. Great cars that just don't sell well.
  18. ccap41
    Well they did screw up by putting a n/a v6 in it to begin with... I don't understand why they did that.
  19. ccap41
    Very well done, Casa! It was really good to see the savings that can be had by just doing the work yourself..A LOT! I've never messed with bearings..luckily I've never had to yet..
  20. ccap41
    All 3 of what? Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger

    Nice review Frisky. I like your reviews. It'd be nice if you could drive all three back to back to back to compare and review.
  22. ccap41
    So only 12k???? No, 16K now. MSRP is 22K. Oh okay, still a great deal. I just didn't expect a 22k Sonic...

    So only 12k????

    It has been fixed. (Good thing I haven't posted it on any of the social networks yet).

    You may want to put "Passat" in the title.. It took a decent amount of reading to figure out what vehicle you were talking about.
