Gotta admit I was surprised in a good way.
Vehicle was '25 Molten Magneta GT Premium with 3.15 gears(auto), Active Valve Exhaust, had Continental tires(I plan on getting A/S same make), 401A.

Learned that you can adjust the steering modes, exhaust modes(active valve), and mode of driving in general on GT Premium.
Going from a truck back to a Mustang again, there definitely is less space inside, and being 6' you can tell, but the seating was very comfortable.
Ride was smoother than expected. Drove over 2 sets of train tracks too and the car handled that well.
Steering on Normal mode seemed very smooth and fine to me with the right amount of feedback I wanted. I had seen some had issues on some forum posts.
Active Exhaust note is just right in the cab of the vehicle. I prefer to hear it loud in the cab. Not much drone at all.

On to the screens. I actually loved them. When I first saw them last year being advertised and messing with interior shots I didn't care for them, but once I sat in front of them and drove with them, I greatly prefer them. Hard to explain, but looking at them through interior shots and actually driving with them its better. Lots of customization through them. Didn't notice any lag, at all, when making any selection as I had seen some report. There was about 5-6 different clusters to choose from. One you can have the rpm gauge right in center alone with digital readout inside of it for the speed, which is "Calm" setting. One I used was FoxBody I believe and for the speedo at the right you have the analog effect with the digital inside of it, and the Nav will display the roadway sign with speed for the road you are on too, which is a nice little touch. The 60's style cluster reminded me of the '11 and '12 GT cluster style. On the right screen you can choose a mode to show gforce in any given direction. It can show NAV, radio, and more as well at the same time. Lots of customization which is great. I plan on getting screen protectors for both. On Amazon I saw one for $27 for each screen.

Well the dealer put an order in. No deposit was needed. Made initial offer of Invoice price, but I plan on bringing that down 1-1.5k more. Time to email 3 other dealers.

Have you considered using the X-Plan which fixes the price at 0.4% below invoice, and avoids any "dealer admin / dealer prep" fee?

I love my '25 GT Premium Convertible in Molten Magenta with the 6 speed manual. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the temperature controls on the touchscreen. Difficult to use while driving. Dials like I have in my F-150 and Escape are more user friendly. The manual trans and active exhaust make driving fun again!

Eli GT,
I agree with changing the temperature while driving. I let Alexa take care of that. "Alexa, raise/lower the temperature to xx" xx to your delight! She will respond with "Changing the temperature to xx" Happy comfort, Glenn

Did you find setting up Alexa and getting it to respond troublesome at all?

Actually I didn't set up Alexa. The voice actuated phone calling is about all I need. Sync 4 works fine for that. I don't have Alexa in my home as well. I grew up with 3 channels on the black and white TV, because I'm an old geezer! LOL.

Oh?! You can setup Alexa to do that in the Mustang? I got an Echo so somewhat familiar.

In Miami it was 2, 7, and 10. I won a boxing match on a show called “Ten’s Playground,” channel 10. They had boxing matches for ages 7-11 on Saturday mornings. I still have the boxing medal I won. Could you imagine a show like that now?

Voice command is okay perhaps, but learning the correct phrasing is a bit taxing to remember. I think the process needs a bit of AI so it can understand better.
You are correct about the syntax, but it is easy to figure out what you did wrong. If you don't get it right, Alexa will say she doesn't understand or flash her blue lights at you. Once you can remember the syntax, it is dumb simple. Considering road noise or my music, Alexa is easily invoked and understands my voice quite well. It is also why I included the syntax in my post, so others will know how to do it. Glenn

I'm an iPhone guy, and yes it does speak back to me. However, 90% of the time it doesn't help! I do know there is list of correct commands, but what the hey? Surely (don't call me Shirley) AI could help.

I'm on version 8.4+ on everything Apple has, and I must admit the coming up of all apple Silicon devices using the same app is very appealing!

I can't resist. So, you haven't updated your software since the 1990s! Wow, you are in for a shock. I'm at 18.3.1. :clap: Glenn

That one didn't get hit hard enough. It is 18.4 Public Beta. I have the developer's beta loaded too, just incase you're interested.

Thanks,
I don't do beta testing anymore. I did for a few companies, in my younger years, but can't be bothered anymore. I know public betas aren't the same thing but I'm old, slow and can wait for officially released versions. I still am beta testing my wife of 54 years! Glenn
