    So, the kick thing for the trunk. Don’t sweep your foot sideways. Just do a little kick forwards and back near the center of the rear. Works every time. (This is actually explained in the owner’s manual.)

      Yes. I have the same car and found it to be kind of a stab forward with the foot. Then, being a dork, I hit my shin on the bumper and cry like a little girl for a bit. Love these cars, though.

      Does not work if you have the factory carbon trim option, unfortunately.

      Same. Got the 2016 with 30k mi. It's a blast. It inspires an insane amount of jealousy and I have had two road rage type issues this past week. But most times when I come out of a gas station people are around it and want to know what it is and how much! Car is a blast.

    Glad to see you're back! Great ownership insight on the AMG GT. I had a V6 F-Type S couple years ago and have recently started looking at GTs. How would you compare the driving dynamics of the AMG GT vs F-Type R and overall ownership? (This would be a great video idea actually since there are none from the perspective of someone who has owned both cars).

      Dude, night and day - the AMG is in a different league. Jags are not sports cars.

    Just rediscovered your channel after while. Your DIY videos on the FType were great and helped me out a # of times when working on my own FType R. And now, would't you know it, I traded my FType for an AMG GTS a few months back, so I can't wait to see what you put out for this platform.

    This was a great video. I'm hoping to get this car as a daily driver in about a year. I live in houston. Can you talk more about the buying experience, what options/ specs you were looking for/ considering, maintenance, and other daily driving things a buyer should consider?

    • @Fluterra
      @Fluterra 7 місяців тому +1

      I have a GTC. GTC will be more comfortable for daily driving duties: Comfort mode is softer. Get the dynamic engine and transmission mounts as well: they change the nature of the car in Sport +.

    The inside pad should NOT wear any faster than the outside pad in a single piston caliper!! I have the GTC and worked at a brake company. If you do see uneven wear, then you need to check the caliper pins - perhaps they need to be replaced (rust) and greased.

    You should have also mentioned "Dynamic Plus Package"... if you have an outer "yellow" color on the instrument cluster then you're equipped with Dynamic Plus. GTS models with "red" outer color do not have this feature. This adds to the the value of the car considerably.
