... What do you want to know about it? It's a rental, so don't expect much in the department of rowing gears or hearing a roar of a V8.

It hasn't flipped over... yet.

Is eager, but not too eager to slide. Same eagerness as a new 328i.

Are you driving it appropriately? Eg; Like you stole it?

v6 or turbo'd 4?

actually pretty great. Smart on fuel when in standard Drive, and genuinely downshifts/holds onto gears in Sport to help slow the car coming to lights. Rarely does sport put the trans into a disconnected coast. Gear selection is pretty quick and responsive. The car does an automatic power blip to revmatch when downshifting nicely. I don't remember reading whether or not this trans is new compared to last years, but it feels a lot better.

V6. Some customer stole the turbo 4 from me before I could grab it. Drove the turbo 4 just for a minute and lol'd at the piped in engine-effects.

Does the interior feel as good as it looks?

Yes. The interior is much better sorted than the outgoing model. Much less hotwheels—a lot more euro-NuFord feels. The steering wheel is fat and small and feels a little squishy and I love it. The seats are comfortable and very bolstering. Materials are better (hate the faux carbon fiber though). I do sit a bit further back than I'd like to while driving comfortably... but I might have to play with that a little more.

I like it. I can't really complain. Felt better than the Q50, even though that revved higher.

Can you actually feel the IRS that most people just HAD to have in it?

It's noticeable. Ford had the fixed axle down pretty well. But it feels like it has a quality suspension now. The spring response and the way it handles bumps is a lot nicer and more composed than the '14 stang, '14/15 camaro/challenger (base models).

It's very very good feeling for a base model muscle car.

Taking into consideration the fact that I thought the '14 was decently comfortable, these new base/stock seats blow the '14 GT's away.

If you can, please measure the track width on the seat rails on the floor. I'd like to see if the seats from a '15 will fit in an S197 (05-14).

Walked into work today and had a premium i4 turbo sitting in front of the building, so ill be switching to that for the remainder of my employee rental. Off the bat:whooshing noises are fierce and interior looks ultra nice in comparison to base V6.
