Love My 2009 Mustang

My 13 year old Escort Wagon finally gave up. I considered a Toyota, just not very exciting. I finally settled on a 2009 Mustang and love it. I had a Thunderbird in 1960, with the Lincoln engine. That T-Bird would pass anything but a gas station. Gas was about 39 cents a gallon. The new Fords are so much better. Straight highway driving i can get 27 at 80 miles an hour. I love it, best thing about the new cars is no carb. I had to get used to all the electronics, my manual was used a lot in the beginning. My new Mustang is smarter then me.

Marty You rock Richard! I laughed out loud when I read that your Thunderbird passed anything but a gas station. I was born in 1960 but gas was cheap for a long time and I remember 39 cent gas. My home town gas wars driving the price very low sometimes. I'm Driving a 1999 Mercury Sable LS with just 68K actual miles. Forunately for me it has every option available for 1999, but I'm saving all the time for my next new Mercury. Best of luck with the Mustang!

I would propose that the dealers should have a retro fit kit to replace the MyFord/MyLincoln Touch system with traditional knobs, and buttons for the audio, and climate control systems. This technology alone has caused customer satisfation with newer Ford and Lincoln products to nosedive. I have read many posts of inoperable Touch controls, and even the recent updates did not help. Most of these frustrated owners are getting rid of their Ford/Lincoln products, never to return again. I feel this would allow the owners to keep their cars for the main reasons of purchase: Styling, performance, quality, and reliability. Customer Satisfaction should the main concern regarding this issue, and I also feel that the Sync system should be a stand alone option, not to be bundled with the MyTouch, even on the higher priced models.
