2010 Test Drive - GT Premium

[ramontgo]

Finally found a 2010 GT Premium automatic that was available for test driving (Fairfax, Va). I was very impressed at the quality and workmanship of the interior. The seats are very comfortable and fit my 6'2" 200 lb body nicely. A salesman didn't accompany me on my test drive so I was able to push the pony a bit to see what it could do. The car handled very well and the throttle response really surprised me. As advertised, the intake noise notified me that something was going on under the hood. The first mod for me would be to add some Flowmasters for a perfect blend of intake & exhaust. I liked the 2010 exterior much better in person than I did seeing it in photos. The only change for me would be to order a pedestal spoiler rather than the ducktail. An option that I would like to see Ford offer for us "auto tran" drivers is a paddle or ratchet shifter.

The wife and I test drove one the other day. You are right the upgraded sports seats and comfort interior packages are really nice. We test drove a Grabber Blue and the wife really liked it, add the deluxe sport seats with the blue and she has the dealer looking. fficeffice" />>>
As for the power it moves, but after driving my car (07 Gt500 Evo SS) I’m not to impressed, but my cars a hard act to follow. This car is for my wife she wants and we test drove an automatic it was ok. It’s a car you can drive and relax and have fun in. Like you said the potential is there it just needs a little push, I'd be lucky to get my wife to change anything on the car.>>
We also added the pedestal spoiler and you might want to check into the up graded body kit with door scoops and window covers and a few other nice touches that make it pop.>>

The wife and I just ordered an automatic as well ( she can't drive stick ). It's as if you almost have to floor it to feel anything? But I guess it's better than the gas guzzling trailblazer ss we're getting rid of!
