    How does the stock system sound?

    I only got the Shaker 500 because I needed to get the Premium package to get leather or something like that. It doesn't sound bad, but the radio reception is a little subpar IMO, and the 6-disc changer is LOUD when it is switching disks. I plan on changing mine out at some point, but it I'm...

    Question for you new S197 Owners

    In the BMW's defense, I can almost guarantee it will have less problems in the long run than the others, even after the warranty period, and all new BMWs come with a 5 yr full maintenance warranty (or is it 3 yr?

    Hybrid Mustang?

    After having driven a mid-size eurpoean 4-cyl diesel (it was probably turbo, I forgot to check) for the last week, I can easily see a European-style 6-cyl turbo diesel getting good performance and gas mileage. Oh yeah, and the Europeans have the whole pingy-diesel noise problem solved, it seems.

    Differences?

    The GT also comes with an 8.8" T-Lok differential and different rear end gears; the V6 comes with a 7.5" open diff.

    Factory Alarm/Auto Start

    Ford may not do it, but there are aftermarket fobs that will do everything.

    I have an 06 and I don't have the side door molding you are talking about.

    test Drive

    In my experience, this is not necessarily illegal, but most dealers won't allow it.
