I love my Mustang Mach-E GT, and yes, I have no idea how long it takes to charge, because it always happens overnight. One thing I didn't like about the Ioniq 5 and its Kia EV6 sibling was the lack of a rear wiper. I don't accept the Hyundai/Kia argument that airflow makes a rear wiper unnecessary.
Our beloved 2012 Lincoln MKX INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS AWESOME. LEARNED THIS SYSTEM IN 2 WEEKS. ALL FUNCTIONs ARE BRILLIANT. INCLUDING THE VOLUME /FAN CONTROLS WHICH everyone talks about "CONFUSIONLY HARD" ARE GREAT. MAYBE YOURS TRULY AND ALL THE OTHER MKX ANTI'S OUT THERE ARE ARE JUST FLAMING IDIOTS!
Just bought one 2mnths ago. The best car Ive ever owned. I also own a 93 RX7, Ive had it since 95'. Hope that puts this Genny into perspective for anyone interested in one of these BEASTS.
American auto makers lack decent leadership, been using faulty and inferior technologies for decades, granpy is not around to buy your cheap overprice knockoff anymore.
I appreciate that this review includes the explanation of Mazda's "Minimum Jerk Theory" - that is why it shifts the way it does. It's not designed to quick shift on purpose, but to shift as smooth as possible, not for high performance. I never thought I would look at a Mazda 3 ever again, the only thing that's missing from making me make the decision to upgrade my 2012 Mazda 3 is no Ventilated/Cooled seats available and a wireless charging pad that isn't INSIDE the center armrest (dealer installed official Mazda accessory).
Honestly, some of these "contact chargers" don't work very well. Especially if your phone is in a thick case. (I'm in and out of LOT of different cars, and I normally still plug my iPhone 11 into a USB)
I have the same car, It is awesome no problems at all 140 000 miles runs like new. I flush all the fluids, change all filters, changed all spark plugs and spark plug wires. Ceramic brake pads. Go to a great mechanic and have them do a 3 step fuel fuel injection cleaning service. Make sure they use BG products. It gets rid of all carbon build up The car roars now. Also use royal purple engine oil it is better then mobil 1 one oil. It drives like a race car now!!!! Also use Trico Titan wipers they work the best. I also change the serpentine belt every 80 000 miles just to be safe and i use royal purple oil filter great quality!
I just got one used, 100k miles on it. I love it. Main things I don't like are weak acceleration (which, I know, is to be expected), and too much noise in the cabin when up to speed. It has double the fuel economy of my previous vehicle so I don't fear the lesser fuel economy. The steering wheel feels small and can be uncomfortable when trying to do 1 finger turns due to the hard plastic corners inside the wheel. All told though, I love the car because I drove it 500 miles on the first day I had it and I felt like I could trust the Toyota build quality in the long run. I do agree though that for a car that was $37k new, it felt like they cheaped out in some areas, but I don't see any other vehicle that gets me what this gets me for this price: fuel economy, comfort, cargo space, features, and reliability.
They finally figured out reliability with the 2010, and of course had to redesign it. Been horribly unreliable ever since. First gen was such a better vehicle too. I would have been fine with maybe a second facelift (although I love the way the original facelift model looked), but they changed too much. Second gen doesn’t handle the same, way worse off road. Big ugly steering wheel. Ugh.
It depends upon how much you drive... I actually purchased one as a "personal car" and it recently cost me about $12 in gasoline to go from DC to the Jersey Shore and back... so... if you drive a LOT it makes sense. When I was commuting from the Shore to NYC every day, I saved about $300 a month in petrol.
