Very true; I see the 2.7l or 3.5l V6 Ecoboost motors eventually replacing the 5.0l. in the not to distant future.

Very pleased with the look of the part. Incredibly easy job, literally took me three minutes to snap on and snap off. Now it actually looks like a Ford engine

Congratz with your new toy !

Nice start in the MOD playfield... Sure a lot of other nice add ons will follow! Keep us updated!

Thanks a lot!

Small thought today. I'm about 700km into my Mustang ownership experience and something is troubling me a little bit. I still smell quite a lot of burning when I get out of the car after driving it, a very unpleasant and strong smell of burning oil.

From what I've read in the forums, most people say this is supposed to have gone away in the first hundred miles or so, but mine's still around. I'm assuming this is the normal 'new car smell' and driving as normal.

Fuel consumption since I bought it is 9.8L/100km. Since last fillup it's 11.1l/100km. Probably looking to stabilize at or around 12, if I'm analyzing the numbers correctly.

So far, no problems to report! Driving in winter conditions is predictable and easy, snow mode genuinely works as do the winter tyres.

The backup camera gets grimy as heck during a winter drive though so don't expect to have the use of it when you're pulling up

Overall, still really happy with the car. It gets looks even in this begrudging country, still sounds wonderful, still ticks all the right boxes. I went a little sideways (on purpose) with a coworker on Friday and it is really easy to control with a slip. Lovely car.

Maybe the smell is misplaced underbody coating?

 

[Gryphon]

Could very well be. We'll see what happens in the next few hundred km or so. But yeah, it's the only unpleasant thing about the car, you park up, turn the engine off, open the door and it's the worst smell you've ever felt coming from your brand new car...

 

[YLA G]

Nice with that blue

 

[NewMustangDE]

The undercoating gets everywhere....all new cars smell for a couple of hundred km. Some cars more, some less.

Grattis, helt rätt färg

First Line Lock is completed

The dealer told me the warranty absolutely covered it, so I let her rip the other day. As a result, I made a bit of a hole in the parking lot I used

Fuel economy since purchase now at 10.0L/100km, since last fillup at 11.2l/100km.
