How many are regretting

[MegaMan]

I regret…not buying it sooner! Puts a smile on my face every time…priceless.

Regrets? I really don't have any. That said, there are somethings I wish Ford had addressed, and I might have rued them until I actually found out how to make the 'best' use of them. Here's an example.

I think the Premium versions should have come with paddle shifters. When I first got my 2019 Ranger, it at least had a switch on the stick, so to speak. Once I hoped it up to the tune of ≈$5,000, it soon became apparent than paddle shifting wasn't all that wonderful! The Ford's tune not only addresses the power issues, but also alters the shifting patterns. I say patterns, because the 10R80 sports fuzzy logic. The 10R80's patterns in the Eco-Boost (at least) are really well designed. Once you understand where the shift points are in the various modes, you can make much better times letting the 10R80 do the shifting than you ever could using paddles! Drag mode allows the shift points right at the peak of the power curve, and so hard you'd think something failed! The 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 shifts all cause wheel spin and a 'butt wiggle'! You'll also find out about the over boost scenario there offered only in Drag mode.

I'm an advocate of being friendly to one's neighbors. I don't blast around town like Roger Ramjet replete with open exhaust ports, and I don't indulge in the stop light derby scene either. All of my antics are done at the local drag strip where they should be (and legally be!) done.

Me too. Had many Mustangs in my life and my 2024 is the best for many reasons. Relax and enjoy it.

I’ve owned Fords and Lincolns all my life, the only complaint isn’t against Ford, it’s against the common practice of all industries today. Lower build quality at a higher price. My 2007 lincoln hood was solid and didn’t flap in the wind, my 2017 Lincoln hood flaps in the wind and when passing big rigs, it really obvious. . I had a 1986 6 banger and i loved it, i have a 2024 Gt and I love it. The design of the cars aren’t going to please everyone, there’s always going to be something that is considered to be a compromise. There’s isn’t anything I bought that I regret. Im going to test it, research it then followup with another test. I am happy as hell with my car, even with the flaws and compromises. I am sorry to hear that people have regrets in buying the Mustang. Hopefully they will look at all of the many good things that out number the few bad.

No regerts... ;)

I'm about two months in with my '24 and have no complaints and no issues. Fit and finish is good and the car has actually exceeded my expectations from a performance standpoint. It's definitely built to a price point but I'm ok with that, it's still a good value for what you get.

My only gripe is that Ford eliminated the availability of a manual transmission in an EB. Other than that I'm super happy with my purchase.

I love my Dark Horse, previously owned a 2022 Mach 1.

To me...the biggest problem is no longer the screens but how they are utilized... this looks horrible to me... either make the screens smaller or make the graphics larger... this makes it look like part of the screen is burned out...

If you want a Brighter Screen go to the My Color page and click on the Cobra Screen.
The gauges are large and White in color.

The only regret is that I chose for Recaro seats that cancelled my turn signals. Didn't know that would happen. Now I have to buy new mirrors and get that shit to work.

damn if I had only known the earlier model had cupholder lights, I would’ve never ordered my 2025 manual GT premium performance package vapor, blue night pony package.

I traded my 2022 Mach 1 for a DH and I've had a few issues but overall I love it.

You can remedy that in about 4 hours, pretty easy upgrade and worth the time and money.

my regret is not buying DH and went with GT because it was ready for delivery and I didn't want to wait

4 hours is not an easy upgrade for me. Especially because garages ask 100 dollars an hour or more.

Zero regrets. I have a 2024 Dark Horse Performance Suspension and I kept my S550 GT/CS and in my opinion, the 2024 is far superior despite being almost identical platforms. It also cost $30,000 more, so it should be.

5 months into owning my 24 GT. No regrets whatsoever.
