Paddle shifters in Ford mustang v6 automatic 2017?
So, I just got this car and I'm not sure if its a good thing or bad to use paddle shifters. Will I get the instant pickup like manual transmission by putting car in Sport mode and putting the gear in D and doing gear shifts.
Why don't you try it?
Stupid question. You don't know how to use them, so obviously you shouldnt use them.
It will change faster than a manual.
Just let the car do it most of the time.
It still changes far quicker than a manual and makes better decisions than most drivers.
"Will I get the instant pickup like manual transmission by putting car in Sport mode and putting the gear in D and doing gear shifts."
It won't shift any faster than it normally would, you just get to choose when the gear shifts happen.
Suggest you just leave them alone.
Of course it's "OK" to use them. If it wasn't, Ford wouldn't have fitted them would they.
And no, it won't give you any more power. It simply lets you control the gear the car is in. For instance you can downshift as you approach a corner, then the car is already in a lower gear and ready to power out of the apex of the corner. An automatic tends to hesitate as it shifts down AFTER you plant boot.
So there are valid reasons to want to use them. But if you don't know what they are, just leave the paddles alone and steer.
Let the car d it
What?
Hi so watch the fuel gauge move when you use the shifters a lot. As it drinks more fuel. The same is true of the sports mode you had better believe it kid. My galaxy does acts more and more like a Mustang every day. Yes we do go like poop of a shovel but at what cost.
What?
- What would win, a 2017 Subaru WRX STI or a 2017 Ford Mustang 3.7 V6 if they raced I have a bet with a friend that the STI would win and he thinks the mustang would, I don't need statistics like "the mustang has 300hp and the STI has 305" and yes I'm aware the driver makes a huge difference being standard vehicles, thanks for the answers
- Upgrading mustang v6 2017's exaust/mufflers So, I got a new mustang v6 2017 and I heard that you can upgrade the exaust to make it sound like v8. So, my question is how muc does it cost to buy a new one and getting it installed? Any cheaper ones out there with some decent quality? Does upgrading exaust/mufflers drops mileage? Does it drops horsepower? Does it impacts the engine anyways? Does it has any impacts on its 5year free warranty by ford?
- My local Dodge dealer wants to buyback my 5 months old 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost? I received this letter from the local Dodge dealer saying they're short on 2017 used Ford Mustang, therefore, they'd like to buy my Mustang at above market value. I'm curious at what kind of offer they'd give me. I know this is some BS they're trying to pull, but what do you guys think?
- I parked my 2017 Ford Mustang in my apartment parking garage on the 4th floor for 2 days with out moving it When I left it there I had more than half a tank of gasoline. When I returned to drive the car the gas tank was empty and the car would not start. There was no gas in there at all. Is there a mechanical answer for this?
