Six Weeks Into Ownership - What Fun!

[DCS]

530 miles, mostly around town. I can usually get into 5th gear and sometimes 6th for a minute or two. Mileage is slowly improving. I'm up to 14.5 mpg on the current tank.
The car is amazing in the way it feels (tracks). I only wish there was a bit more steering feel. The AVE is awesome. I run through the HOA in "Quiet" mode. As soon as I leave, it's "Sport" mode. I am amazed it is legal!
I finally got the car and wheels ceramic coated this past Monday. Of course it rained on the way home.
The only problem I am having is the "Easy Entry/Exit" function isn't working. When I start the car, it doesn't move the seat forward. It did initially but quit a few weeks ago. It does pull the seat back when I shut the car off.

Same, although I am at 1200 miles and doing an oil change this weekend. Say a prayer for me !!! My only complaint is that even with quiet exhaust selected for the first 30 seconds or so the exhaust is loud and then it calms down.. I've read it's something to do with emissions and getting the O2 sensors up to operating temp quickly. Don't know for sure.

I’ve noticed the same thing.

Make sure you have the memory seat set/saved. I had the same issue. I think I ended up going through the infotainment center and resetting my profile there, followed by ensuring that the memory seat was set/saved.

I'm with ya. Was out in the car today, F150 was in for service, so the horse became our DD for errands, was good to be back in it. Later in the day it warmed up enough to go "topless".

Wait ... you've had it 6 weeks now, @DCS?

This is true, I had a 22 wrx with an AWE exhaust was loud for the initial start. It has to to do with emissions so the o2 sensors get hot quickly. Enjoy it while it lasts. It quiets down pretty good. Sooner or later there will be the fake noises when it all goes electric. My neighbors car is electric it sounds silly rolling down the road. Oil change will be all good just double check everything.

I have my seat position saved in position 1. That’s how I manually adjust the seat.

That‘s what I was wondering as well?? I took delivery of my S650 In December and it’s only been 5 months for me as an Owner.

I could not agree more. I recall when my order took just under two months and you were still waiting for your car. I had mine March 1st, but here in eastern Canada, winter like conditions lingered into early April, so I have not had long to try to get my break in miles in.

I am at 678 miles (converted from kms) and loving everything about the car so far. The active exhaust is one of my favorite options. I went for a drive on a deserted rural road last night I entered a right hand curve with broken pavement at just over double the recommended speed. Other cars I have driven would have moved sideways at that speed over the bumps. The Mustang felt solid, stayed planted, and did not move sideways at all.

I am also an “old guy”. I tried the easy exit seat thing, but did not like it.

So far, I’ve changed the wheels out - hated the standard GT wheels and found a set of take off 2022 Mustang wheels that were the same size. Did the DIYVan wheel well hole fix. I added the Ford front splitter a couple of days ago, and put PPF over the lighted Mustang sill and the painted area of the sill so it didn’t get scuffed getting in and out. Lots of other mods planned, but want to enjoy it the first Summer and work out any potential warranty issues before I get too far into the changes.

Did you have any problems installing the front splitter? I'm debating doing this also. You have me considering a wheel swap too. Nice choice. Those look really good.

Glad you are enjoying the ride DCS. Strange you are having issues with the seat exit/entry thing. Mine has been working fine. So are you saying when you turn off the car the seat slides back properly? But when you turn the car on it does not slide up into position? Have you tried just turning the accessory mode on first before starting the car? This is what I do each time and so far no issues. One tap of the switch, seat moves up, then depress the clutch to start the engine on the next tap.

Is that one tap of the door button (which is assumed to be in reach) or the start button (which may be to far away and need the seat moved up in order to reach)? Or is it supposed to detect profile one sat down is ready to automatically move forward (oh crap aint done connecting my seat bellllllggguuhh….

If I do the "Accessory" mode, the seat moves. I guess I can live with that. It was just a bit weird that when I first enabled the "Easy Entry/Exit" it worked when I started the car.

Yes, the start/stop ignition button is what I'm talking about. I sit down, press the ignition button, seat moves forward, then I depress the clutch and start the engine with a second press of the ignition button.

I don't find it hard to reach the ignition button at all when the seat is back. BUT I do find it very hard to depress the clutch all the way in to start the car before the seat moves up into position.
