If you are the average driver I encounter on the road from the turn lane you will unexpectedly and suddenly shoot out across 3 lanes of traffic, cutting several people off. You will then decide to make an illegal u-turn hopping a curb forcing traffic flowing in the opposite direction to stop for you. Then, you'll pull into the EXIT of a bank (instead of the entrance) only to drive though the lot on your way to Burger King. If anyone honks at you during this process, you will promptly roll your window down giving people the bird and yelling at them for honking at you. When you get to Burger King you will think about what you want to order for 10 minutes, holding up the line. You will then order 50 different items, then change your mind on 25 of them. When you pull up to the window you will not be able to find any form of payment, each of your 5 cards will be run and be denied. Your cousin in the backseat will finally roll his window down and pay for the meal. When your bags are handed to you, you will decide you didn't want what you ordered, but instead of admitting that you will blame the cashier (who didn't take your order mind you), and throw your drink at her. You'll pull around and storm in the front entrance and demand to speak to a manager. You will yell enough that eventually they with both refund your money AND give you replacement items that end up, in fact, being pretty much the same as the original ones you ordered. When you get back to your car you will drive away with a phone in one hand, a burger in the other, and a large drink in your lap.

There, that almost covers it.
If it was a Coke, that would be nasty. It gets really sticky really fast.

wait, is their first name Karen??
A quickie: On my '16 Mazda CX-5, if i just flick the turn signal I get 3 flashes, enough to make a lane change without having to cancel on the stalk.

Do we have this feature?

I'm imagining 3 of you going out to the garage and 20 other slugs waiting for 3 different answers.

TheSteelRider is still raising bail, so he's excused for now.

Does anyone else think that the turn indicator noise is too soft? As usual, when making a turn the indicator snaps back and so the sound stops - but when just making a lane change the indicator stays on, of course, unless you turn it off. But sometimes I miss this because of the soft sound.

PS I really like that this is the biggest complaint I can make right now!
Blinker sound is perfect for me although I admit, when I first got the car, I wondered if I would like it. With regards to the indicator staying on after a lane change unless you turn it off, you do know it has a lane change feature, right? Just push in up or down slightly and it will blink a few times and then stop.

Is there an option in settings to disable the 3 blink mode? Where if you just tap the stalk for a lane change it will only blink once…

Agreed. It's way too quiet. Upgrading from an older car and the noise from the blinkers on that car were nice and loud, I could still hear it even over music. With the Mach E, I've caught myself a couple times with the blinker still on without realizing it because I can't hear it with any music playing. Be nice if a software update made the sound changeable, either a different clickier sound, or the ability to make it louder.

Yes. I think it is too quiet. I often have to check visually to see if it is triggered. That's less of an issue at night of course.

I leave mine on all the time, my yukky Citroën, my last car before getting a 'real' car, got louder if you left them on and eventually muted the music too! How does that sound ? Great compromise
