2025 Mach E Rally in Molten Magenta
Country flag
We had been looking for a new car for my daughter for a couple of months, and we found a great deal on a New 2024 Bronco Sport at Leif Johnson Ford in Austin, Texas. While waiting for the finance manager to call me in, I started to roam around and heard some music blaring outside. When I walked out, the music was coming from a Molten Magenta Mach E Rally. I snapped a few shots and talked about the specs with a sales guy hanging out, sent a few pictures to my wife, who replied she loved the color, and then went back inside to finalize my Bronco purchase. Once done, my salesman asked if I was interested in the Mach E, and I told him I was, but figured it was already presold. Three days later, it's in my garage!
Bye Bye 2022 Mach E Premium, Hello 2025 Mach E Rally

I respectfully disagree. I love them, and the white accents inside on the seats and steering wheel are the chef's kiss. The only thing my wife doesn't like is the large Mach E Rally logo on the doors.

Those stickers peel off easily. The wheels and the spoiler scream "Rally" loud enough without the help of decals

I don't mind the wheels design, it is the white color that I don't like.

Congrats on the new ride. Give us your impressions after a couple of months. ??

There‘s this newfangled thing called paint… ??

Didn’t your mom ever teach you that “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”?
You will learn that Frunkmaster Rick has very little hand to keyboard filter. ??

I said I liked the car, just don't like white wheels. I would have them painted if I bought it, but that's not a vehicle for someone my age. It screams midlife crisis. When I see a retired person like myself getting out of a vehicle like that, I usually laugh to myself.

LOL I'm a rather old dog but not retired. You would probably laugh to yourself if you saw me getting out of my '79 T/A even though I've owned it since it was new. ??

BTW, a hand to keyboard filter wouldn't work for me anyway. I have paws. ??

For some of us, “midlife” is later than for others.

Are you saying I’m having a midlife crisis? ?
I won’t say my age but I have an 18 and 16 year old. ?
You can order the Rally with black wheels if that floats your boat.
