It would take quite an effort to kick the door open with your foot near the speaker. There would be no leverage there, and with the steering wheel in the way, for your legs to get into a good door pushing position.

All my years of reading reviews on cars. I have never heard of a car review that even talked about door kicking!

But then again I never heard of stalk pulling either. And I can only imagine what she thinks people are doing in cars to bruise their knuckles.

This chick sounds like she not only needs a fully padded car, but a fully padded room too! :crazy:

I wonder if she approves of the medallion on the trunk lid. It should make it easyer for people to kick the trunk open!

 

I said basically the same thing in my email to her. Boy, did she have something in a wad with her response!

:flame2:

 

What did she say?

 

Oh come on, Stango63, doesn't everyone kick their doors open, punch the dash and try to break the signal stalks when they're test-driving? I know, for example, that you can hang 2 frozen turkey's from the rearview mirror of an M3, that Mike Tyson couldn't punch or bite his way out of a Mercedes glovebox, and that we could have run the Iraqis out of Fallujah with a fleet of 350Zs packed full of door kickers. I'm surprised that our author neglected some other important tests. Like the Martha Stewart egg-boiling on the manifold test--can't beat a mitsubishi EVO on that one--3 eggs in three minutes with 3 cups of unleaded. She also forgot the shrubbery paint test, where you drive the mustang through a stand of junipers and then measure the paint gouges--all standard fare I tell ya. Lest I mention it, as a potential mustang buyer, I want to know if you can tow the 2005 by the sideview mirrors.

 

Yea but she did have one good line "The new design is stunning in form and perfect in its interpretation and execution of Mustang-ness..."
