The catch cans are good for your engine. there is one on teh high pressure side and one on the low pressure side to help reduce nasty oil blow back. Don't forget to check them and empty them.
I had to buy a car and the costs and interest rates were terrible. Per advice from many retired military people who live near me, I bought a 2010 Prius with 108,000 miles.. So far it is great. I think its best use is around town. Also it has a great cargo area with back seats down for picking up this and that. Weirdly, the radio is great. I am trying to turn down the bass since it makes the rear window vibrate when I turn up John Coltrane, but oh well. So far so good.
PS I have to be careful not to run over people in my retirement community. They do not hear very well. Also, I have the "small old car" syndrome. We do not get any respect. Someone already hit it and I lay on the horn more often than ever when I am driving my daughter's huge SUV. (She makes me take it on road trips, thinking it is safer, but it always breaks down. She replaced it because a hose broke! )
Agree with you on the sound!! and mine is just the stock 350 exhaust. Practical as well, I have a carseat/booster for my two little ones in the back seat and they love riding in it. Got my 2019 with 12,500 miles for 50k in 2023. These have a really stout and great feeling transmission as well, not the MT-82 grenade found in the rest of the fleet.
How did the dash get so many surface scratches? Is there somebody with jaws and claws prior owner? I've had mine for 8 years I haven't had a single scratch on it dash, but I do have my dings and Nick's throughout the years from all kinds of reasons one putting in bikes in the hatchback I'm a mountain biker! but the dash with the surface scratches how do you think that happened that is weird!
I am coming into the years as it's close to 200,000 MI with EGR issues cold morning death shake! So far I have taken apart the intake manifold and clean it entirely out entire weekend, and lubed the EGR valve plunger but haven't cleaned total carbon out it yet that is the next step
Oh when I did the intake manifold completely clean it out over the weekend it felt like a gained about 7 or more HP it was that dirty and helped out!!!
Got 325000 on mine. Runs great. Got it with 260 just did battery for 1k and abs for around the same also my fuel pump and MAF plus upstream O2. Just cheap basic maintenance. I get 38 doing Uber running the car nonstop 8 hours a day with ac on all the time.
Thank you for a comprehensive ownership review. Nice to see someone who daily drives it. I'm getting a 2017 and it's nice to know it has a few improvements over the 16.
10:00 you are 100% right about getting the car re-aligned to save your tires, especially if you don’t track the car. I would imagine it would be better in the rain too.
Interesting points. I think a shifter is just personal preference. Mine doesn't come loose and I don't mind the standard one. I may try another some day but I seriously have about 1000 other things in my life I'd rather do with my money. I use 6th gear at 40 mph all the time. I'm in a relatively flat area but there are mild slopes and I have zero problems with maintaining speed with minimal pedal input. Yes, the RPM is about 1100 but there's plenty of torque to run that. Agree about the exhaust default to quiet on startup. I use the steering wheel switch though as I want everything in sport mode, which is also a point you don't make that there are no options to default settings on handling (steering and suspension). All of these things should be able to adjust default on startup, not just the exhaust. Also when you are going through the options about 8 minutes in, the car defaults to the list and I also have to change it every time to the gauges. Yet another item that should have a default adjustment.
I've owned 3 or 4 cars now with factory Brembos so I can confirm that they always brake dust ludicrously. It's the eternal price we pay for that god tier stopping power.
I have a 2017 Shelby GT350 I bought new in 2017 as well. Mine is Oxford white with blue stripes. It looks very much like the later heritage edition ( except that car is in new spec with gurney flap rear spoiler and it’s Wimbledon white that has more cream or yellow look in the paint. ( I actually prefer the bright white) That was the original 1965 color. A couple of things I would say about the video. Number 1 I also own a 2018 Porsche 911T both my cars are track versions with focus on light Weight etc. I’m Also very old school so three pedal cars are much more enjoyable to me. I’ve had zero issues with my Shelby with the exception where I live roads are notoriously bad and the Shelby tram lines very badly worse than any car I’ve ever owned. ( it makes up for it in the track. Mostly it’s due to the aggressive camber. You can go to a different tire and improve that I’m Told. Brake dust on the Shelby isn’t a 10th of what it is in the Porsche. The Shelby is pretty much same as my truck and wife’s car so something is up with yours. Next they leave out the amp and sub in the 350 due to weight. ( my son has 2020 GT same radio with subs it has all kinds of thumping bass. They also just give you an aerosol can of basically fix a flat instead of even a space saver spare for same reason. Shift knob I love it. the ergos of that and mine never comes loose somebody had taken it off then put it back on before you got yours I suspect. Hate the stupid valve closing in 6th. At the track the gearing is perfect but top speed everything is in 5th not 6th. They had tremec do ratios esp 6th to meet epa and noise I’m sure. This car is a 5 speed but the 6th is just a highway gear. One thing that happened between 16 and 17. They had a tech and a track pack. The tech pack you could get deluxe cooled seats and the better radio head but you did not get the rear diff and trans cooler. People were tracking them anyway and they would run hot go into limp mode and that corvette you just spent 6 laps passing passes you back and guys were pissed. Most people wanted the better radio but most people buying this car wanted the coolers. By 2017 they just added the money and made them All track packs. Should’ve done from The beginning To further confuse things in the early ones you could get a cheap base but get the voodoo motor that didn’t even have magna ride etc Then the tech pack which had magnaride big brakes all the goodies except coolers. ( std was the recaro seats you could get mustang sports seats too that Had cooling electric controls etc Recaros are better period. my car has luxury ones I want to trade with someone someday. I only have 8k on my Shelby for last 3-4 years it’s only driven occasionally. Lastly relative to the population of the world vs 1965 66 67 mustang Shelby’s By percentage there are way less of these. Think about it. They did keep building these gt350s longer than they were supposed to. you can now get cool rear seat delete kits and roll bars. I have a rattle or two. Still have original tires going to change I am older 64, this car will go to my children because I’ll never sell it. I found it at skillman ford in Indy I live in the southeast so I had it delivered to me I’ll never forget day it got delivered the rear end the side front just looks fantastic to me. I still love my car.
Hey buddy just watched this video dont know how long its been out or if you have solved the excessive brake dust issue. But fyi, you can go with EBC pads that will probably over all work better and almost zero pad dust. Also im not sure if they make them or not but try Ferado they only make pads and they do it very well. Anyway nice vid and even nicer car. Oh and you may find out that there is something wrong with the system .like a cross over burnt out or that portion of the tuner is fubared. Something wrong. My buddys GT has a damn good system in it for a factory set up. And embrace that 6 spd. Its a true 5 spd overdrive. Meaning 5th gear is 1-1 and then 6 gives you the millage. There is something you can do is get the 4.11 gear in place of the 3.73 gear and you'll pick up about 1600rpm at 65 mph. The oil changes are costly because the motor runs Mobil 1 oil. And dont ever run anything but Mobil 1 and it holds almost 8 qrts. And Mobil1 is $12 per qrt. Do the o/c yourself
2010 Prius owner. 154,000 miles. Not one day of trouble. None. Still gets 48ish mpg. Original batteries. Only One brake Change. Burns a little oil and eats headlights… that’s it! ❤
This is very funny. This is the POS car, that you totally rely on because your ‘really good’ and ‘proper’ automobiles keep breaking down, or need new parts. There is very little Toyota did wrong with developing the Prius, from buying the patent off of GM for the transmission (which is kind of like a differential, it has no friction plates except a ‘torque limiting’ one for certain situations), to continual refinement, and being able to UP the engine size all the time, but still get better mpg. If Toyota had sold this as a special kind of automatic transmission that did away with the torque converter and the friction plates and so on, instead of a hybrid, I’d have bought mine 13 years earlier. As an added proof that essentially it is derived from a differential, not that the transmission has three input/outputs…the ‘big’ ICE 16-valve engine, the large Motor-Generator, and the small Motor-Generator. The design is genius, and is second only to Tesla single-speed in its reliability, and Tesla’s system is barely a transmission at all. All other hybrids, all other manufacturers, have a lesser system, a more fragile system, than the Prius, for transmission. It is not CVT with pulleys and fragile drive belts etc. It is in mechanical engineering terms, the closest thing to ‘solid state’ you can get. Good description, take care.
I have a c6 z06, c5z, LS swapped restored c10, Fiesta ST, few motorcycles and 2 Prius. I drive them through the week. Absolutely great commute vehicles.
Once you get all the mechanical issues fixed, find a set of 40/20/40 seats in grey vinyl(or leather) or full interior swap to a newer 2011-2016 interior
My dude will you check the wires and make Shure the woofer in the trunk is actually plugged in PUT SOME AIR IN THE TIRES please Love the car dude so jealous
Ive only ever seen a subwoofer in the trunk of one GT350 and I’ve seen around 8 trunks while searching for mine and at car shows. I believe that the sub does not come with the car however can be added as a ford accessory. Tire pressure is fixed. Turns out I had a leak in one tire. I also have replaced the rears recently.
@@austinsautos1919 Hey my mustang brother good to talk to you If you buy a shaker it 100 percent comes with your shit in the trunk, and they sound freaking great if he has zero bass that means someone prob upgraded to the kicker and then put the original one back in because that kicker is 750 bucks My dude needs to pull it out and make Shure it’s plugged in also people take them out because they think the 20 ponds will do something on the track
@@austinsautos1919 but because I believe you I will ask my ford friends at the dealership I know a Shelby guy he knows every answer I will ask him and if I’m wrong I will tell you and take my hat off I’m usually correct about fords but hey it’s 2022 and blm and antifa are good guys so Dam
@@austinsautos1919 Apparently base model Shelby with 6 speakers gets no woofer 400 a car with premium audio gets a shaker with no subwoofer but 9 speakers 401 a car gets 12 speakers shaker and a subwoofer Love your car there is nothing better than a tremec 6 speed
I just picked up a 2012 prius with 186k from the original owner. The thing was taken care of VERY well, only flaw is the clear coat started peeling a couple years ago. Got a good deal on it for the condition. I needed another car because my old daily gets 16mpg and needs a lot of work done to it that I can't do with just a weekend off from work. Really liking it so far tbh. It's the same color as yours
This is frustrating for me. Guy buys track car then complains of the radio but compliments the sound of the exhaust. That’s problem 1. Problem two the guy buys track car and complains of having to maintain the track car ! What an idiot.
Two things can be true at once. 1) the maintenance and the stereo suck. 2) I don’t mind and only talked about them for the sake of the video. Its not that serious bud.
This is an engine with completely different camshaft and the crankshaft set-up. It's a flat-plane nothing new to high end high rpm handmade exotics.....This is why you get the sound you do and also why under 3000 rpms sucks.....These coyote motors have come a long way and that's good with input from Shelby American and other genius engineers.....That motor will last 200,000 miles and if your running boost which you are you'll probably need a clutch at around 100,000 miles weather you think so or not.....The sound of early muscle cars is completely different because it's got one camshaft and the cross-plane crankshaft gave better low end.....This is why them the little rice burners sound like an open wheel Formula 1 or Indy style race cars.....Bottom line....keep that pony at 3000-6000 rpms and enjoy.....You will not hurt that design.....
As much as you say you love the vehicle. It sure doesn’t look like it watching this video 🙄 that thing needs to be cleaned sheesh lol come on man clean me
My parking spots are in an outdoor carport. I do what I can to keep it clean but the reality is its never clean for longer than a week at a time. I will take responsibility for the interior being too dirty. Got a little lazy after 4 years.
Man I am cringing at the site of your 350!!! I have the exact color 350. First off that engine compartment is filthy for only 16,000 miles. Secondly bro that car is filthy so horrible. Not like o it just got dirty but like I am a nasty person and do not clean my vehicle like ever 🤢. Third my radio sound is actually quite nice and the bass is exceptional! Lol I have listened to all your complaints and I couldn’t be more opposite from everyone of these complaints. My shifter love it and it never comes un screwed.
