The meters are a little better to read the hieroglyphics found in the Mustang, but both the multi-function option of the screen is too low in the center console.
The climate and audio controls are too small and difficult to read at first glance, the system, fortunately, the voice-activated Sync virtually eliminates the need to bother. Out of sight is the best in class thanks to thin pillars and a folding rear headrests head.

Lies in the gas and the growl is a torrent of boiling, the GT500 launch of regret through the compressor, which can be best described as addicted to accompany.
