It is smoother on my BL but my main issue is all the starting, let’s say 10 times on a drive. Even though the manufacturers say there is no more wear than without, the starter is a motor, which is subject to wear, and the battery gets used that much more. I don’t want to replace these things any...

Dammit, it started working again! Maybe I’ll leave the lights on tonight…😝

I appreciate the answers. I took it in for the programming recall and I wonder if they disabled it because I asked about it. I drive about 1k miles a month around town and on the freeway, usually in normal mode, so it has plenty of opportunity to charge but I will have it checked out. In the...

I dislike this feature and make a point of turning it off most of the time. A few weeks ago, I noticed that it was no longer shutting the engine off while I was stopped and the indicator light on the instrument panel showed it was off, even though I hadn’t pushed the button! While I don’t want...

When I was buying a ‘25 BL I July, the sales guy told me to join WeSalute to get a $400 discount certificate. I did that and when I went in to buy the car, it ended up being $1,200 off!

We were getting ready for work, in CA, and had the TV on. When all this started happening, we were just glued to the set. The thing that impressed me the most in the days and weeks following was this feeling of unity and common concern of people you knew and people on the street. It was as...

I had a ‘22 OB and recently traded in for a ‘25 BL and am very happy with it. The 1.5 was adequate but the 2.0 is just more fun, as is the whole BL package. Much smoother, more power and just more fun to drive! I recently drove through the Sierras to Reno and back and averaged around 29 for the...

Maybe go to the dealership and ask them to tutor you a little on using the features and technology, might help you enough to want to keep the car. Hell, I’m 75 and I can relate about figuring out technology but if you learn how to use the stuff you need, you go on from there.

I just traded in my ‘22 OB for a ‘25 BL and couldn’t be happier. Most of the recalls had to do with the 1.5 and the 2.0 is a much smoother engine with a noticeable increase in power. The ‘25 itself is a little refined over the ‘22 and just makes for a better driving experience. Besides that, I...

I had the one from Amazon in my ‘22 OBX and put it in my ‘25 BL. Fit like it was made for it.

I ordered my OB in 2022 through Bill Brandt Ford in Brentwood and I feel like they took care of me. There was no dealer mark ups, they applied whatever deals were available and they held my quoted price when the sticker on the car was higher when it was delivered. The service department has...

That’s weird, one gas and one charging? Better not confuse the two!?

There is a fuel filler door, pretty much where the current one is, but the grill looks almost solid like an e/v. I’m hoping for a hybrid but I don’t know if the batteries would go where the spare is, bad weight distribution.

Cleaning and detailing my cars is a hobby. I’ve been using Zaino Bros. (Zainostore.com) products for over 20 years and always get complements on the car’s finish. If you’re interested, go to their website and go through their instructions, pretty much runs down the purpose of each of their products.

I’ve had this OB since 4/22 and have loved every mile in it! The Cyber Orange is a fun color and makes it easy to spot the car in a parking lot, especially in the rain!

Great to see an article like this! I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and 30k miles and have enjoyed this car the whole time. My previous car was an Acura RDX, which is a nice car and all, but the BS is much more fun to drive and I guess more to my personal taste.

I'm in California as well. Can I ask what you paid for the warranty? Just looking for a point of reference.

2022 OB with 26k in 2 1/2 years and has been problem feee, other than recalls and TSB’s. It helps to have a dealer who performs the work readily without any resistance, like mine. I also installed a bypass for the auto start/stop, so I think I’ll get normal battery and starter (?) life. In over...

I may be missing something but I haven’t heard of any recalls over the transmission, sunroof, missing bolts, etc. The ones we all know of, including the brakes that sound like a whale, my dealer has taken care of with no effort from me. They even replaced mud flaps under warranty. This is one of...

I drive a section of road that has a few long, steep sections with a 55mph speed limit. My OB does not have paddle shifters, so I usually drive this section in Sport mode because the higher shift points also keep the car in a lower gear while driving downhill, so I don’t need to brake to control...
