When I first came across the MACH E I fell in love with it. Within an hour of research I placed my order, Premium AWD Extended Range Battery, Carbonized Gray. Went to bed dreaming about it. Dealer calls to confirm and says he has that exact model in red and offered a test drive. Got to the dealership and the car is truly a beauty. After signing some forms the dealer tossed me the key and said, "Have Fun!" Was pleasantly surprised he didn't join me. Just sat in the car for 10 minutes and played with the display, it was impressive and easy to maneuver. Then the bad. As I sat I started to realize it is not a comfortable car. I'm 5'9", 250 and the seat just didn't feel good. My knee was resting up against the center console and became increasingly more uncomfortable. The brakes are very touchy and make smooth stopping difficult. I tried the one pedal but in slowing the car felt like it was lurching back and forth, almost like being on a boat. The car is fast and handles well, definitely favored the unbridled mode. I'm coming from a 2018 Nissan Titan V-8. After my test drive I climbed into my truck and immediately felt the comfort difference. I also realized that I would miss the sound of an engine and feel of shifting through the gears.. Debated over the weekend and decided although I could probably get used to all these tings I really shouldn't have to.
