I rented a 2015 Mustang GT a while back. The independent rear suspension is a huge improvement. It was a fun car to drive.
A friend of mine sold european cars for decades in the Seattle area. His last stint was at a BMW dealership.
The reason he left was that the money was in used cars because the salesman only made a couple hundred dollars selling a brand new BMW. Kinda sad.
He sees them as way overpriced and relatively unreliable, though he still loves the engineering. Thing is, all the other brands are catching up. I bought my FR-S over a Mini and am VERY glad I did.
Drove a 2012 GT.
Fun, but really cheap interior.
I’ll take a German car over any US Brand.
Selling my Chrysler and putting another VW in the driveway.
