Okay. 2014 Jeep Cherokee and no paint issues. 2015 JKU and no paint issues. It's not as widespread as you make it out to be. Back to Mustangs.... Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I have a friend that owns a Chevrolet dealership and another couple that work at Toyota and BMW dealerships and they can all attest to newer cars having softer/weaker paint. They get swirl marks super easy, rock chips super easy, their detail shops fight it on a regular basis because sometimes they wash a brand new car after PDI and it already has swirls/scratches in the paint. That was the reason I didn't let the dealership that I bought my C7 from wash it after it came off the truck, and it still had scratches in the clear coat from the car cover they put on vettes during shipment. Back to Mustangs.... ALL new cars have soft paint that scratches and chips fairly easily. It's not some mustang specific issue. You can go on any car forum and find posts about it. It's not a widespread "problem", it's just the way they paint cars nowadays. The more you touch your paint, with anything, the more you will scratch it. That is a fact. The two bucket system works pretty well, cut the ends off of your towels if they have stitching (and rip the tags off too obviously) and buy a nice clay bar kit if you plan to keep your paint looking good. |

Awesome cars. Dollar for dollar, mod for mod they out-performed the 5G Camaro. I'm a GM guy but if I could find a 2013-14 GT Premium Auto in either Ruby Red or Deep Impact Blue with low miles for decent price... it may replace my 2001 Z28.

I also used the X plan. Great deal if you want an '18, but you'll be able to find '17's on clearance for much less.
May 22, 2014, the day ordering banks opened for the new S550, I walked into the dealership and handed them my X plan PIN and the list of options I wanted and put $5000 down and started the countdown. Nov 5th was like Christmas morning for me. I finally got to see one in person at Mustang Week in July of that year and felt really good about my decision. |

I think I've narrowed down what my next vehicle will be, a Mustang GT. I've looked at the competition and the Mustang is the only one that hits the majority of the right buttons. Please, no camaro this or charger / challenger that. That's not what I'm looking for. I want opinions of current and past coyote owners about the vehicle. Don't just say I like it. I want to know why you like it. Same thing with past owners. If you didn't like it and moved on, what didn't you like about it. The vehicle will be used as a daily driver. Not ripping through town and doing burnouts. It will be used on a rare occasion to due some long distance trips that are 1000+ miles, so I'd like to know about the seats and would they be good in a long distance trip like that? About the driver: Mid 40ies, clean record ( read I don't do stupid shit ), have not owned a V8 car since 2001-2 time frame, but have driven a 2006 mustang GT. My planned options, if I do go this route and depending if I go 2017 or 2018. GT Premium Some sort of blue color. Yes, I know Kona blue is coming for the 2018 3.55 gears Auto- No gripes or complaints. You're not paying for the car. Still debating on the 401A package for the shaker system. I need to hear both systems before deciding. Thanks Also, make this a pic thread as well. |

For me the Coyote to buy is the 2011-2014 as it was (in my opinion) more true to the muscle car formula I like. 2015+ GAINED weight and is trying to be like every other car out there with i-Everything and 10 miles of electronics and shit you don't need in a performance car. OP, you mention you want comfy seats, an automatic and a nice ride, sounds to me like you want a Challenger. The new mustang premium almost weighs as much as a Scat Pack Challenger, the challenger has by FAR the best seats out of all of the muscle cars out there right now. You do know the chassis Chrysler uses for the challenger is an old Mercedes Benz platform right? The challenger in an AUTOMATIC runs a mid 12 in the 1/4 mile with an average driver. The automatic 2015+ Mustang GT BARELY runs a 12.9. If you were wanting a 2015+ GT in a stick, stripped down boy racer config, I'd say yes that's the way to go, but if you are gonna load one up with a MSRP in the mid 40s, you are screwing up by not getting a Scat Pack 485hp (total BS they have more than that) Challenger, or a 450hp low 12 second LIGHTER 6th gen Camaro SS. Also my experience is the more gears you add to your automatic the more "gear hunting" you experience which drives me nuts with the car always shifting trying to find the right gear even with light throttle. |

They're rated fairly high. As for a rental, good idea, may look into that after a test drive and such.

LOL. I had no problem at my local ford grabbing a 5.0 for a test drive. Left copy of my drivers license and they tossed me the keys. I was gone for 2 hours and pegged the accelerometer at nearly 1g during a couple on/off ramp turns. Hope you find a decent dealership. When I was looking at Wranglers, I went to my local Jeep dealer and told them what I was looking for. ( had bought 2 vehicles from them previously and they made a sale, as I referred my brother in law ) They told me they couldn't order any more 2015 models for the year ( this was in may and order banks were still open ), but would look for what I wanted that was already built. I also sent emails to a few other dealers in a 50 mile radius. No replies from any of them. For shits and giggles I shot off an email to a dealer 120 miles away, because of the positive reviews. Within 5 minutes I had a call and talked to the best salesperson I've ever dealt with. He said what do you want and when do you want it ordered. I drove to meet him the next day, handed him a list and a deposit. He didn't try to upsell anything and wasn't pushy. He kept in contact to keep me updated. He made sure the dealer didn't put any of their decals or badges on it and kept his word on everything he said he would do. He also called me every month for the next few months to see if the Jeep was working out for me or if any issues needed to be fixed. I have about 3-4 Ford dealers in a 30 mile drive from me. I'm sure I'll have no issues finding a good dealer out of the bunch. |

Before I could post or find the forum today I was redirected to a page about some social justice minded safe space bullshit for the 2018. I think I have posted maybe 3 times in the past 6 months regarding the front end. Today there was a thread about the Roush redesign for the 2018. I posted hopes that the front end would be fixed.

I like the looks of the Roush and GT350 front bumpers for the '15-'17 but just like the factory grille, they block a lot of the air intake area. I decided to do a upper grille delete, added some mesh/screen to it. My air intake temps now stay within 2-4 degrees of ambient temps when driving. I don't post much over there, more research than anything. Sounds like someone got their panties in a wad although I'm sure there could have been some trolling going on. Warning or banning someone because they give their honest opinion is just stupid! |

if you look in front of the coolant reservoir, you'll see my catch can. There are "remote" mounts made but where mine would go, per UPR is under the strut tower brace between the wheel well and coil cover and would be a pain to get out to empty.

Uglygun, I can almost understand the 6G position. Back when I had ordered my '15 I was a member on another Mustang forum. Honestly, I have forgotten which one it was now. But it was so out of hand with the personal attacks from owners of '14's and below, it was nauseating. I finally sent a PM to some of the moderators and told them they can have their S550 hating website and joined 6G. It really got annoying trying to post questions and have some cocksucker come in just to talk shit about my decision and proceed to tell me how much better his '13 or '14 was.
That being said, I like the new front end. And keep in mind, remember the hate and indecision for the '15 until it hit the streets. These cars look totally different in person than they do in photos. Quoted:

I'll check them out. I've got a few guys in my local group that are running the Lund tune and they are extremely pleased. Their contact(s) were very helpful with fine tuning how their cars drove. One of the cars is almost identical to mine in specs, I got to go for a ride and holy hell! it really woke the car up and he considers his a "mild" tune! |

I don't get the hate from some of these forums. I chose my '13 because that is the year I think they nailed the look.....modern with the right retro mix thrown in. The somewhat bare bones Boss was certainly a lure as well. While I prefer what I bought (obviously) I appreciate the newer models and advancements as well. I don't even see that much of a difference with the new redesign tweaks.....certainly not enough to get in a fuss over. Hell, I can even appreciate the occasional MOPAR or GM product.

Went to my local dealer to look at a 17 they had on the lot. Didn't have time to test drive it, as I was needed elsewhere. From what I saw of the car, it looks pretty good and the seats were very nice and snug. Interior was nice as well. 2018 should be orderable in a few weeks, according to the dealer.
As I was leaving the office ( giving salesman my contact info ), a gt 350 was pulling out. When it hit the highway, I could have sworn the exhaust note said go be poor somewhere else.

Uglygun, I can almost understand the 6G position. Back when I had ordered my '15 I was a member on another Mustang forum. Honestly, I have forgotten which one it was now. But it was so out of hand with the personal attacks from owners of '14's and below, it was nauseating. I finally sent a PM to some of the moderators and told them they can have their S550 hating website and joined 6G.

Fuck you and your ugly ass outdated Mustang. Wasnt attacking members. That I wouldnt condone or expect to go without any action. But if a car is ugly or looks like it had it's styling ripped off from another car, I forget which japanese car has those same gills in the front fascia, then it is a simple statement of fact. The 2018 got ugly. Lots of other improvements that are pretty great for performance. But that shit isnt going to allow me to grow past the looks. Posting an opinion of hopes for Roush to fix the front end is pretty goddamn simple a desire. Know what other cars look ugly? The stupid S550 Shelby Super snakes. Also, the 98-02 new edge mustangs. |

What mods did you have to make to get it to mount there? That's also the location of where the Charger/ Challenger can goes. It just bolts into an extra hole in the block. Quote HistoryQuoted:

if you look in front of the coolant reservoir, you'll see my catch can. There are "remote" mounts made but where mine would go, per UPR is under the strut tower brace between the wheel well and coil cover and would be a pain to get out to empty. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/76160/-MG-3894A1-258502.JPG |

I was just throwing it out there. I'd say that if you drove an Lund tuned car and were happy with the results and know owners that are happy then stick with that. Quote HistoryQuoted:
