There are some nuances with the '18 I have that somewhat concern me. This is the first year for direct injection. Sometimes when I start the car, the engine dies immediately and I have to restart it. Or it will start and run but it idles funny. I'll shut it off and restart and it will idle fine. It does have a tick occasionally. Not sure about the tick but the other seems to me like it's probably a fuel issue. But it runs fine at all rpms. And it's under warranty lol.

I have been banging gears in it and I've felt the 3-4 shift have a weak clutch engagement feel...pedal felt real light upon release...clutch wasn't slipping but the car felt torque-limited. Not sure if the car has a torque-limiter? My 6 speed Volvo did. I did a reverse burnout in my driveway once and after that the clutch wouldn't engage until the pedal was nearly fully released. I took it around the block and it went back to normal. My brother has a '16 and he made a run entirely in 4th gear and now he has a clutch chatter issue even though he never pushed in the clutch during acceleration. It's been about 2 weeks and it's getting better. But online there's a lot of people having these type issues...

The motor is awesome. IRS is awesome. Trans is good so far. But this hydraulic clutch...I'm on the fence. I hate to jump into a GT350 and have these issues...

You need a Honda

That should be the 2v. They like to spit spark plugs out. The 3v is know for the long plugs breaking in the head. Ford knew it was a problem, instead of redesigning the head, they built a tool to remove the broken plug.... Engineers....

Oh and cam phasers going out.

Yeah an AR9s are a PITA at least getting them tuned up good is. I have no experience with the glock fed but the colt feds always need a good buffer system tweak, and ejectors , and bolt travel, and blah blah but when they run they’re sweet. Until they start breaking themselves and need fixing lol

My Glock mag A/R runs perfect as long as you use Glock mags
