2015 Ford Mustang Convertible First Look Quick To Drop, Quieter... And Easier To Sit On? Ford will be dribbling out the Mustang details over the next few weeks leading up to its AARP-eligibility birthday party in April in New York, and we learned a lot more about the convertible and bit more about both models' aerodynamics. We already knew the top would be made of cloth, and now we know that cloth will be offered in Henry Ford's Model T color palette -- black only. The three-layer top has a smoother appearance when up, thanks in large part to the addition of a fourth bow and a 10mm-thick "mattress pad" of foam between the bows and the outer layer. All models get a standard headliner that covers the entire mechanism. There's one less seam to sew on the side-rail area for a cleaner look and the forward section is still made of rigid sheetmetal to form a "parade boot" tonneau appearance without the need for a separate boot. Two easily installed side panels cover the mechanism. Naturally, as with any new car, further advancements in structural engineering and greater use of high-strength steel create a 13-percent increase in torsional rigidity and a claimed reduction in windshield header shake on rough roads. This increased rigidity, along with the new independent rear suspension, is said to greatly improve ride and handling. Just be careful, there are no fixed or automatically deploying rear roll-over bars, though, so you'll want to be sure and keep the shiny side up.

2015 Subaru WRX STI First Drive

2015 Subaru WRX STI | 2015 Mercedes GLA-Class | 2015 Ford Expedition | BMW's Active Tourer      NEW CARS USED CARS ROAD TESTS AUTO SHOWS FUTURE NEWS VIDEOS FEATURES BLOGS FORUMS WOT

2015 Subaru WRX STI First Drive: The Best-Driving STI Yet Driving Unfamiliar Roads At "I Can't Believe We're Going This Fast' Speeds Make no mistake: The 2015 STI isn't a graceful machine. It's a car you beat on. It's a car you throw through a corner, shrug, and see what happens. Permitting this is a high level of accessibility; it's easy to drive the STI fast. Like the WRX, the new body structure and suspension pay huge dividends in steering response and control. Pedal placement and the interaction between the clutch and shifter make heel-toe downshifts simple, while the growls amplified into the cabin make them rewarding. This is important because you have to shift a lot. Though it has 32 lb-ft more torque, the STI's overall gearing is shorter than the WRX's. On Laguna Seca, that means going into fifth on the front straight and having to decide between staring at the flashing shift light in second down the Corkscrew or lugging it through in third, in hopes that you'll have boost on exit. Fortunately, the STI feels accessible enough that you'll try it all. Off the track, this user-friendliness translates to the ability to drive down unfamiliar roads at "I can't believe we're going this fast" speeds. There might not be a quicker car on rough roads with lots of bumps. You can keep the throttle pinned, and the car just soaks them up, never feeling unsettled.
