    Mike, I’ve got a ‘17 Ecoboost convertible with every option including the Performance Package. I’m 68 and it gives me a thrill every time I drive it. I highly recommend the Love The Drive wind deflector which allows top & windows down driving year round. My rule is top-down if it’s at least 45 degrees!
    Thanks for the great clip!

      Hi Bosco Butterbear - first of all that's a cool YT handle! I used to prefer Bosco over Hersheys syrup and then it disappeared from the shelves one day. I don't think I ever got over that.
      Glad to hear you are enjoying your '17. I checked out the Love The Drive deflector - very cool! I'll have to consider that to extend the top-down driving season. 45 degrees sounds like a reasonable limit. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Mike. Love your video and enthusiasm for the car. I had an 02 GT convertible, and now I drive a 14 GT convertible. Take it from a Canadian who drives with his convertible top down as long as there’s no salt on the road. Get a “Love the Drive” windscreen. It greatly reduces the wind buffeting and, with the heater on, creates a little cocoon of warm air in the cabin, even with the roof down.

    • @MikeFyxdt
      @MikeFyxdt  Рік тому

      I will definitely look into one of those wind screens! I think it is awesome that you drive your convertibles top down as much as you do. I try to do the same, but sometimes my passenger is not equipped for the wind or chill. Being able to buffet the wind would be great! Thanks so much for sharing that info and for watching, I appreciate it! 😁

    Loved the video Mike. Nice going for a drive in your hometown. I own a 2011GT convertible with a manual. I test drove a 2019 5.0 with the auto. I couldn't believe how strong the motor was, and the grip off the line was amazing. I'll be upgrading at some point this summer. Keep up the good work.

      Hi Tony M - I like how you intro'd your comments, "Even though I plan on moving to FL..." Now that I have a convertible I wish I WAS in FL! Maybe what doesn't come across in the video is that things have come so far with car construction and tech is that this is much closer to the hard top than older convertibles used to be. I had 1980s and 1990s convertibles and they were horrible. The new Mustang is pretty awesome!

      Hi Kim Townsel - thanks for the nice words! You can never go wrong with a Honda (Admittedly I'm a fanboy and long time customer). But the Mustang convertible is in a different class. Before I bought my Mustang I was hopeful for about a year that Honda would re-launch the S2000 sport convertible, but no such luck. Best wishes for finding the perfect car!

  • @rembo183
    @rembo183 4 роки тому +1

    You’re right about just cruising and enjoying the drive. I purchased a Mustang Bullitt which gad been fun to. I have a 2008 Miata PHRT convertible which satisfies my top down driving desires. I guess if I traded my Bullitt I’d gor for a convertible GT then I wouldn’t need the Miata. Two cars in ONE?!

    • @setnow4265
      @setnow4265 4 роки тому

      Joel - A Bullitt and a Miata are a fun stable of cars. You're right, the Mustang GT Convertible lands in between and kinda does both. One of the reasons I got it is because it straddles the line between different types of cars. It's not the best at any one thing - the Bullitt is faster and the Miata is more nimble, for instance. But for me it's perfect. And my wife would only let me buy one new car!

    • @rembo183

    • @MikeFyxdt
      @MikeFyxdt  3 роки тому

      @Manan Gosai - That's a fair question! Yes, they go down. :) I keep them up when 1. recording a video while I'm moving so I don't get as much wind and road noise, or I just want the cabin to be more quiet, and 2. when I'm cold! Between the heated seats and the powerful HVAC, the lower half of me stays toasty on cold top-down days. Putting up the windows lets the warm reach my hands and face much more efficiently.

    • @MikeFyxdt
      @MikeFyxdt  5 років тому +1

      Mustang 860 - the rev matching is very cool! It works... um... it just WORKS! The only thing that needed getting used to was that the sound surprises you, especially when you have the mufflers turned to 'loud', because your engine revs and you didn't tell it to. It also attracts attention from pedestrians who think you are showing off when it revs - I've gotten a few stares, LOL!
      My surprise 'favorite feature' on the car, which I didn't know it had, is the hill assist that holds the brakes when you are at a stop on a slope, for the manual transmission. Using that makes me smile every time.

    • @MikeFyxdt
      @MikeFyxdt  Рік тому +1

      Roger - I'd say "quiet" but not "surprisingly quiet". Wind noise and outside noise is minimal, but the engine and exhaust are LOUD - and that comes from beneath the car, not just through the top. Hope that helps!

    • @MikeFyxdt
      @MikeFyxdt  3 роки тому +1

      Hey François, great question. The cloth top is pretty quiet, and since it is lined that really helps with noise. You do hear more than you would with a hard top, but not considerably more. Most of the sound is the tires on the road, and the sweet sound of the engine.

      @MikeFyxdt  3 роки тому +1

      François, I bought my car with the majority of upgrades, except the Recaro seats and upgraded stereo. The existing stereo is plenty loud for me, especially since I drive with the top down and prefer to hear what’s around me. I like the digital gauges that come with the performance pack, and I absolutely love the active exhaust. One of my favorite upgrades is the nickel wheels, which may be standard with the GT in Europe, but here is rarely seen.

    I was literally about to ask how the manual was treating you and you mentioned replacing the clutch spring. I thought about getting the stick but I heard they had some bugs to work out.

    • @MikeFyxdt
      @MikeFyxdt  5 років тому

      Hi Cometa Soulstar - Let me clarify... the most widely publicized criticism with the manual transmission was a failure in the shift fork, presumably only in a batch of 2018 models. From what I've read/seen the supplier of the faulty part has resolved the issue. So far I have not had any 'problems' with my manual and I do recommend it.
      The clutch spring replacement is not a repair - it is an aesthetic mod that makes the clutch pedal feel lighter. The current clutch and pedal setup works fine - it is not a bug. If you want a stick then I would still consider one. :)

      @Willy Q - that's a great question! Top up, no problem. The top is padded and well sealed, and not a lot of outside sound or wind noise gets in. Undoubtedly the hard top will be quieter. But I have found that I can talk with the top down, even at highway speeds. I big part of that is that I got the active exhaust that has a 'quiet' mode. it makes a huge difference, even wit the top up. But don't take my word for it - go for a test drive!
