It may not be a true sports suv, but it does have a reasonably powerful motor, enough for effortless overtakes. Combined with the adaptive suspension and active stabilisers it’s surprising how fast this car can hustle through the corners yet remain calm and unflustered. Still the best luxury SUV out there. Engine is both port and direct injected.

🤣 Gotta love Mercedes marketing material. But I say it as they name it so you know what you're getting. I haven't tested the nav's ability to locate charging off the beaten path, but any place there are businesses or people it does a decent job. As always, thanks for watching, aperxmim!

My pleasure! So I’m in the market for a Bullitt. I own a 13’ Boss 302 and I love that car, but it’s pretty brash, in your face all the time. I’m keeping it, but need one I can road trip, relax in, but still go balls out once in a while. How much do you enjoy your Bullitt, highly recommended?
@AutoAcademics15 күн бұрын
The Bullitt wasn't mine. It was on loan from Ford for the review, but during the week I had it, I really liked it. If I had to guess, it should be noticeably more refined than your Boss 302 (which is pretty cool, mind you), but it can still be fairly loud, if you're ok with that. It would definitely make for a cool stable of Stangs, tho. 💪🏾

The 3 cylinder engine is being investigated by the feds for premature failure. Some have failed before the first oil change with bearing failures in the bottom end. I have a 13 with 295k on it, one tranny at 190k and normal oil changes mobil one since I bought it new. My wife had a 12 SL and was totaled by an idiot on her phone, she wanted a new rogue and I didn't want a 3 cylinder turbo bomb problem so we got a cx 5 instead.
