Seems ridiculous to me that they wouldn't take care of the folks that would spend this kind of money on their vehicles. I'm glad they have an official fix now but it would have been nice if they extended the powertrain warranty or something as well, but I guess I'm pushing it.
I'm loving it right now, I would usually want to sing the praises of performance but at the moment I'm so blown away with Android auto. Last 3 or 4 vehicles have been either Subarus or BMWs, the tech in those cars looks archaic in comparison. Also bravo Ford for actually sending the correct amount of power to the door speakers, I don't know why other manufacturers can't get this right.
I'm off the road today.. picked up a nail in the tire on day 2 of ownership...b  |
Ya, agreed about the ADM. It was actually a huge turn-off for me and got me strongly considering an STI. Luckily, I found a dealer out of state (NV, I'm in CA) who did $1k below MSRP on a 2017 that hasn't moved in months, but that also meant I had to go 300mi and cross the sierras to get it (PSSs slip around even on dry cold roads)
Definitely was blown away by android auto, first car I owned that has one and is now a requirement for the next car. We all just do so much with our smart phones nowadays that it just makes complete sense.
Bummer about the flat tire. If you look around the RS forums, there is a thread about a Jaguar spare that works with our cars. I got one and carry it along with a scissor jack for long road trips.
