I bought my 2019 on Memorial Weekend with 185 miles. I do not drive it in winter. I have a Mazda 5 beater for that! Plus, I had to wait 6 months to get my engine from Ford, so it has low mileage. (The engine is good so far, 6k)
Last night I looked at the odometer when i got home. I'm 4 days late on the anniversary, but here it is! It would have 1,500 less, but I took a trip to coastal NC to look for areas to retire in. It is for DD, minor shopping, and going out only. The Mazda served all other functions. It's at 124k
The new car smell lasted a full 4 years. Lots of plastics.
EDIT: there is still a new car smell, but it's definitely fading.
Issues resolved: 15psi cylinder 4: replaced with Holman rebuilt, clutch slave cylinder splooged: replaced, driver seat rails rubbed: replaced, trans slipped out of 6th: replaced. (now noisier shift clunks than ever, especially 3rd to 4th). I took some of the money awarded from my case against the Ford engine delay on an extended policy...
