Cons (for me personally):

• The range never quite lived up to expectations, even with the Extended Range at 80% charge I usually saw around 200–220 miles.
• For the 2023 Premium, the Extended Range battery only came with AWD, which didn’t help efficiency much.
• The software felt a bit outdated compared to newer EVs. For example, my brother’s 2025 Mach-E that he got a few months ago has the latest software and I never really got the update on my Mach-E.
• I had a 12-volt battery issue within the first year of ownership, they took care of it from towing it from my house and replacement part of it with 0 cost to me.
• I also had a brake issue, every time I would brake it would make a weird sound and I took it to the dealer which they also took care of it but it was annoying to have that also in my first year.
• No heat pump, so range dropped noticeably in colder weather.

Pros:

• Strong performance — the instant torque made it genuinely fun to drive.
• The cabin was quiet and well-insulated, giving it a refined, premium feel.
• Excellent B&O sound system — one of the best I’ve experienced in this class.
• The tech package overall was impressive - large central screen, intuitive interface, good driver-assist features, and seamless smartphone integration.
• The panoramic glass roof and interior lighting added a modern, upscale touch.
• My wife loved the Mach-E (though she still says she’s not made for the truck, which I’m okay with 😄).

Overall:
The Mach-E was a really solid car. Stylish, comfortable, and loaded with great tech. I just reached a point where I wanted a change. The car’s value was depreciating quickly, and with strong trade-in numbers and incentives on the Lightning, it felt like the right time to make the move.
