Leno's Garage - Mach-E GT Performance Edition review

Very positive discussion about the MachE as well as EV in general

Take a peek at all the naysayers on YouTube; I suspect most have not bothered to test drive one.

Well, the statement that there is no maintenance...hmmm. Tell that to the "stop safely now" crew.

I totally understand why they went with the Mustang moniker, but I think the car and the concept is so good, they can drop it quickly and just call it a Mach E and it can easily stand on its own merits.

It's pretty funny if you listen to it. Lots of misstatements by Leno. "You have to be in the car" when he means you have to be in the front seat. He corrects that later. Talks about the push button start like gas cars don't have it. Many sentences aren't finished. Tried several times to get him to use BlueCruise on the highway, but failed.

i know it has adaptive suspension but am I imagining the bouncing as they are driving?

I didn't exactly see "bouncing." I saw some bumps in the road that translated to motion in the interior. ?‍?

it seems more than other car reviews hes done. could be the road or a bouncy mme

He was not interested in using BlueCruise. Also, I thought you couldn’t get a GT with a metal roof and BlueCruise?

Well, it doesn't have the camera in the grille or on the mirrors, so I am assuming it doesn't have the Active 2.0 package (which means you can't install the BlueCruise software on this particular car). ?‍?

I noticed that too. Not sure if its just the road surface or the suspension

Good catch!

The Ford guy should’ve known better than tell him to try hands free on a car that doesn’t have that option.

I’m also surprised they used a car that wasn’t fully optioned.

I'm sure when they tried to use Bluecruise and it's missing they edited that out!!

That’s my exact car. Very cool to see.

Favorite part of the video: 27:59 Jay bashes cars that pipe in fake sounds, the Ford guy is like “yeah totally…….” Then clearly hits the menu to turn off the fake sound. ?
