MME Postitive Stories & Feedback

I wrote about my first month here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/first-month-so-far-so-good.23079/

Another month in, and it's still awesome! The GTPE is the fastest car I've ever owned even with the power limits, which I've only bounced off once (during a really fun back roads drive, in the rain no less). The car is beautiful, luxurious, and comfortable overall.

I love driving in all 3 drive modes for different reasons, and the magneride is noticeable between them.

The tech is great. The only downside is the occasional wireless android auto issues, which are probably in found other cars as well.

And of course, charging at home and never going to gas stations is so nice!

I've had a few really positive interactions with random people at coffee shops and such who ask me about the car. I enjoy that.

Super happy with my purchase.

I rather enjoyed the first time I pulled into a parking stall nose-first and the 360 camera turned on automatically.

Are there still a few nagging issues? Yes. But we love our MME. We love driving it, we love the quiet, the power, the comfort, the safety features, the fact that here in Arizona we get a special license that allows using the HOV lanes with only one passenger. We love it when people ask about it, and we love that when we last drove from Phoenix to the SF Bay Area to see the grandkids the total cost to charge would have required an ICE vehicle getting 120MPG to cost the same in gasoline.

I've had my GT for a whopping 2 weeks. It's in the shop now for PPF and ceramic and I had to drive my Honda civic today - I hit the gas and thought I had a transmission issue ...Absolutely love the MME - the look of the car, the color, the tech (though PAAK is glitchy at times) and the instant acceleration! Happy with my purchase - getting the $7,500 tax credit and having the car built after the dreaded High voltage connector issue is certainly a plus.

I echo just about every sentiment in this thread - biggest enjoyment is just hitting the go pedal. Most speed limits around the suburbs are 50 kph - you get there in a heartbeat. Need to pass on the highway? See ya. Smooth, smooth smooth. I went back to drive our XC-90 and could not believe how noisy it was, and that I could feel vibrations through the gas pedal. Odd. I don't want to go back.

Met a retired couple at the rec centre who were getting into a Select - I stopped and said "nice car!" He chatted with me for about 20 minutes, asking about the differences between Select & Premium. You're in the Club now. Enjoy!

And she's drop dead sexy.

With the MME, I do have to keep an eye on the speedometer, since it is so easy and smooth to get going way over the speed limit!

Ah, so I'm not the only one... I think I have pretty good pedal discipline, and this isn't my first electric vehicle, but I could feel it with my Nissan Leaf when I was getting close to going 60 MPH. With the Mach-E I find that I'm going 70 MPH without even realizing it, and it feels like I could easily go faster.

There are some frustrating bugs and glitches, including a critical one for me: the screen in front of the driver (the one showing your speed) randomly will flicker off. I'm in the middle of working with Ford to get that fixed and so far I've been incredibly impressed with how Ford is approaching it; I plan to do a little write-up on the experience when it's all completed.

Would I buy it again? Not sure - I bought it because it's electric and it can fit three child car seats in the back. That's it. A vehicle like the Ioniq 5 or upcoming EV9 would probably be more practical, but darn if this vehicle doesn't look a heck of a lot better (two months in and I still turn back to admire it after parking) and if it isn't terribly fun to drive. The best way I can describe it is, it feels like the land equivalent of driving a fighter jet. Funny statement, I know, since reportedly the Mustang monicker was meant to pay homage to the P-51 Mustang fighter plane... but the car feels incredibly nimble at both low and high speeds, and it's incredibly responsive.

In a word, glitches aside, I enjoy the heck out of the driving experience with the Mach-E, more so than any other car I've owned or driven.

I also test drive the Ioniq 5, and loved the more cushySUV feel to it. My current car is a Lexus…but something about that fighter jet feel won me over too!
Anxiously awaiting arrival of my ‘23 in a couple of weeks, hopefully!

How about I'm essentially 10,000 miles in on my 2022 Premium and still get excited about having to drive, well, anywhere! My complaints are essentially the ones most of us have about the frunk, UI, etc. But I'm already quite accustomed to the cars shortcomings. Getting into a warm car in a closed garage is sublime. Long live EVs and long live the Mach-E!

Mach E Select RWD with comfort and technology package here. Delivered last August. A few road trips since then (4000 km) with ample use of BlueCruise. Now, with the arrival of winter, installed four studded Nokian Nordman 7. The car is a charm to drive in the snow. The autonomy decreases a lot with the use of the heater, but since I do mostly short distance trips, I prefer to be warm with a lower autonomy. The car heats up in a few minutes with the remote start. No problems to report. I am very satisfied with my purchase!

I have only had my 2022 MACH-E GT for a couple months but I love it. Like others have said it is very easy to speed. I had to switch to 1 pedal mode to control speed as it is easier to reduce foot pressure and slow down. It is so darn good looking too. My first car was a 68 Mustang and I swore I would have other Mustang before I got too old to enjoy and am so glad I bought this car. the only problem is that I see too many Grabber Blue Mach-E's now so I have to spend some more money "personalizing" it to make is unique to me.

If you have not had an EV before be prepared for that first time you stomp on the go pedal because it is better than any rollercoaster. My wife slapped my arm the first time I did it without warning her.

I still look at mine after a year. While this is subjective, my opinion is that it is a good looking vehicle. Others may have a different opinion.

Common misconception that the Mustang car was named as an homage to the North American Aviation aircraft. Why would Ford name a car after an aircraft built by a GM division, powered by a GM-produced engine (Allison first, then a Packard-made unit of Rolls-Royce design)?

This is my second Mach-E. First was a Premium and put 10K miles on it. I now have a GTPE that has almost 20K miles. I've stated this before several times... It's not the fastest, best handling, most comfortable, versatile or most fun to drive car I've owned. That said, it does all the above very well and overall the best and my favorite out of over 45 vehicles I've owned in my lifetime. Extremely happy with the Mach-E and like so many others, excited every time I take it for a drive.

LOL if a I had your car I would be excited just to look at it.

I got the ugly blue one.

I know you're joking Steve and that blue is an awesome color especially when the sun hits it. I never knew it had that much metallic until I saw yours in person. Grabber blue is a head turner.
