Having someone else change your flat is like hiring a person to change your underwear. I can't imagine waiting on the roadside for up to two hours for a damned flat tire, and then having to be towed to a tire shop and getting it done right then. A spare saves me time and lets me keep an appointment at least. I guess I'm just showing my age..... But as soon as I saw the no spare available issue, the PP was off the option list for me. When I purchased Cobra brakes for my '95, I waited to install them a few weeks until I could locate a Cobra spare tire. Granted, I have never needed it, but it is there if I do.
For my 14, I got the Track Pack, so I'm not sure what I'll do for a spare. I'm putting 1" spacers on all around as soon as I get the car, so I'd assume the standard spare that comes with cars without Brembos will fit with the spacer...

Sometimes you never know the value of something until you need it or lose it. I can see the spare tire controversy both ways but for piece of mind and the "extra" weight I would rather have one. Espically for the road trips and back roads my girl and I take to Laughlin and Vegas!

The 2015 just isn't edgy enough for me. There are too many curves, too much of a jellybean look. I agree with others that if it didn't have the horse on the grill, I wouldn't find it interesting at all.
Ford perhaps is making the same mistake it made with the 1994 Mustang, which it tried, without much success, to fix with the 1999 version. The 1994 looked too Japanese. This new one does, too. A Mustang should look longer and edgier.

It seems to be that the age of 35 is the tipping point on the s550. If you fall to the lower side - Then you are more likely to like it. If you fall on the higher side - You are more likely to not like it.
For now I dont like it based upon the pre-production cars, but I`m willing to wait until I see some actual "sellable" cars on the lots in sufficient numbers before making my finale opinion.

I'm 26 and I don't lol. Well that's not entirely true, I like some parts of it, but as a whole I'm still not sold. The 2010+ S197 made me fall in love instantly, big ol' rear end and all. I still love the SN95s too. But the 2015, which I admit I haven't seen in person, I just don't know yet. The rear end and wider, lower stance look great. I don't mind the grille either. It's just the headlights. I truly wish the Car and Driver render was the real thing. That car also wasn't as wide, but I would be okay with that too.

53 and I like it too.
I've seen the car 3 times now and I think it's fresh step forward. But my daily driver is a 2013 Fusion. I just can't get excited with the color choices. How many shades of gray do you need? I'd like to see more sharing between the Fiesta/ Focus paint chips than the Lincoln side of the house. Same with the interior options. Black is really getting overdone. I'm really waiting for the hard data, weight, HP and performance specs. It'll take major improvements to get rid of my GHIG GT.

I kinda like the fusion as one of the better looking new cars out there styling wise, but I see quite a bit of fusion in the stang now- just wondered if a everyday fusion owner did or not...
kinda guessing here, but expect to someone seeing the fusion often the similarities are few. but to someone like me without one, maybe I see more...just curious.

I hope another 'gotta have it' looking mustang comes out for me again eventually, but the 15s just not it yet.
