So after waiting for months and months, I was able pick up my new 2016 GT last night after what seemed like an eternity at the dealership.
I was able to get another $2,000 off X plan pricing, so I feel like it was worth waiting for. So having drove this thing for one day now, here are my first thoughts. No pics yet, deal with it.
1. Quality/alignment: Please don't kill me but mine is awesome. All panels look fine, leather is good, I don't see any issues at all.
2. SYNC3: Works great, light touch, drag to scroll, very intuitive and quick. However lists bands with "the" in the title as "the", like "The Rolling Stones" is alphabetized under "the" and not "Rolling".
3. Power/accleration: can't quite tell as not broken in yet, but it feels similar to the BMW 135 I had, which was fun as heck. Not quite the same as that was turbo, but not much slower if at all. Handling is reasonable. but the power steering is a little too much power, esp at slow speeds. Haven't really been able to appreciate some turns etc. Brakes are bitey.
4. 3.73 gears plus MT plus traffic: it's fine. Without traffic it's quite fun. The shifts are notchy but seem smoother with sport mode.
5. clutch: not so bad, maybe I will dump the assist spring maybe not; getting used to it.
6. Stereo: 401a pack has been much maligned. While not superb, it's good. It is hard to balance with tuning and an equalizer would have helped
7. Seats-- very comfy. Cooling seats get my back cool, but today wasn't very hot so unsure if they will get hot on the back like a lot of people have complained about
8. Overall this a as fun as it gets. When driving normally, the acceleration SOUNDS like I am getting into trouble. Quite happy.
