2020 Mustang GT Convertible In Depth Review

[@donchills11]

For only a little over 3k subs, the production is so classy compared to all the other car review try hards. This channel hits different 💯

[@JamesSalvatore]

Thank you! It's comments like this that make what I do feel appreciated and worth it👌🏻

Excellent video, James! Your praise and criticisms for this car are accurate. I have a ’21 GT Premium convertible w/10AT, 401A pkg, leather interior, B&O sound with 12 spks and subwoofer but no magneride and no performance pkg. I absolutely love it, but you’re right to point out that it’s not an AMG because it’s not SUPPOSED to be an AMG. For $50k, it does everything it’s supposed to do very well! The AT that I got (so I could have ACC) is good but a little slow-shifting in spots. I’ve learned to adapt my acceleration to hit the sweet spot on gear changes. I didn’t get the performance options because I’m not taking it on the track or drag strip. I use it for road trips. After all, the GT stands for “gran turismo” (grand touring) so I use it for touring the beautiful USA. Nevertheless, the exhaust system does produce just the right amount of obnoxiousness. :-)

[@RDYOUTUBE54]

Slow shifting? What spots are those because I've had many sports cars and unless you get a dct that transmission shifts faster than most. You guys do realize that there are different drive modes right? And that it will shift faster depending on what mode you're in. This kid is driving around using paddle shifters doing 20-30mph and trying to upshift without being on the gas pedal. Most standards don't e even like that.

[@AlanBuxman]

I've got an 18 gt auto and I agree with you about the 10 speed. A tune fixed all that Learning the car solves that as well. They're a riot to drive!!

[@steveprefontaine1679]

Awesome review Jim. I'm a Corvette guy and I've owned quite a few, especially the C7's. Your review was my deciding factor to go drive one and my wife and I did. We ended up buying a loaded up Twister Orange with the 10-spd. It's virtually the same thing as the 10-spd in my 19 ZL1 convertible. The Mustang won't be in for another 8 weeks as we ordered it how we wanted. Thanks for the great review !

[@JamesSalvatore]

Your welcome I'm glad to have helped out in your decision! Congratulations on your new car👌🏻

[@flashmelody6920]

How's the Mustang?

[@Piffydaily]

I know you miss the down low torque from the Lt1, but I love the mustang too

[@inspectorhenry2380]

He’s right, manual transmission is definitely the way to go! ! !

[@karkadeight]

I was wondering if I should pick a convertible, and you mentioning how nice it is to hear the exhaust with the top down has set my opinion to go with the convertible. Also, really great production quality and overall atmosphere. Thanks for the review!

[@markelraya10]

Maybe you should stick with a Toyota. Mustangs are for dudes.

[@jacoblevitt4980]

Convertible is best life! There is no going back.

I heard the paddles respond better when you shift into sport mode

[@t.k.morris]

Has Ford corrected the problems they had with the MT82 manual transmission?

[@joeyoung3319]

You're missing out on capabilities of this car. The handling on windy mountain roads, canyon roads, twisty switch-backs, VERY comparable to the SUPERB handling characteristics of a BMW 3-series. Very buttoned down, very connected. I took a standard turbo 4 convertible to the back roads of Pennsylvania, AND THE HANDLING COMPARED VERY WELL to my 2011 BMW 3-series. The latest Mustangs are excellent handling cars, without question.

[@nikki5980]

My arthritis won't allow a manual.. Still love it! I'll take one thank you lol 💜💜💜

[@MrPolymers]

I'm selling my 2016 Ecoboost Mustang Convertible for this in the Spring!! Love that V8 rumble!!!!

[@SoonYouLLBe]

V6 is slow you should've bought the V8 earlier!

[@realtissaye]

@@SoonYouLLBe it’s the 4-banger, not the v6...

Had to build mine, was zero 6 spd anywhere with the options I wanted. Delivery is August 14th

[@JamesSalvatore]

Awesome congratulations on the car👌🏻

[@brolyv5802]

Yup no one drives manuals now. Soon we’ll be forced to drive automatic.

@@JamesSalvatore thanks....

[@CJReed-pw8re]

Any differences of significance between this and the 2021?

[@smitrj1916]

Why the Hell mustang keeps putting that antenna on the back of the convertible making car look bad in my Opinion

[@barsaa._.]

Where the fuck should they put it? On the middle of the nose? Beside the badge??

[@patrickd1805]

Change it Out w a stuby

[@azaniapulse3014]

I really luuuuv this car, I wish Ford could have more options on the interior colours tho, the traditional black seats are boring, you can't have almost every colour with black seats.

[@JamesSalvatore]

For the most part they should definitely experiment with more

[@ErrolSlovak24]

My opinion, I don't really focus much on the seating. It's comfy, but still looks nice in a way. It blends with the exterior.

[@daveking77]

Wow this is a hidden gem of a channel 👊

[@JamesSalvatore]

Haha thank you I'm working on not being so hidden

[@banksrobyou]

I am fascinated by the American fascination of oversized suits and jackets.

[@hottrod0069]

"It's the perfect level of obnoxious." OK subscribed LOL

[@britethorn]

Did I miss something, or did you not open the trunk or show the hard top retracting?

[@DNYLNY]

Nice vid! and Thanks for going under the hood! So many reviewers don't do that

[@donaldjans2952]

PERFECT LEVEL OF OBNOXIOUS! SOLD MY 993 FOR THIS! YAY! DON'T HAVE TO BABY ANYTHING ANYMORE.

[@leghunter61]

Why dod you guys have a problem with the seat belts????

[@gladiatorsofthecornelius5218]

When you do a video in the middle of a field in Kansas, is wind a factor? Nice review, keep up the good work and sweet sunglasses.

[@JamesSalvatore]

This was CT not Kansas and this was by the beach

[@Kinleith621]

Thank you mate, a good straight shooting informative video. I like it. Cheers.

[@ragibchoudhury7975]

great production

[@vaeetq]

Is there any website that sells catback exhaust with active exhaust on a mustang GT Convertible cause I can’t find any 😭💀

[@hanna1936]

The upcoming matt watson

[@JamesSalvatore]

Haha definatley an inspiration

[@PuRpL3DrAnKinMYsippy]

I would definitely opt for the manual...BUT that 10R80 is objectively better built and demonstrably faster. The MT-82 is notorious for shift fork failure and gear lockouts. Ford obviously couldn't fit in a Tremec manual at the GT price point.

[@JamesSalvatore]

Yeah either way I think even with the manual that comes with the GT your better off than with the 10 speed if you like to drive spiritedly

[@JamesSalvatore]

But there's always a list of pros and cons with every decision

[@clintonsinetor5807]

Cool video 👍🏼 but pls wear seatbelt when drivin. 😄😁🤘🏼

[@nick16652]

Dude sorry, But Here in Michigan you must use the whole seat belt unless you want to donate to the Police fund (Ticket)

Good review. Milford, CT is my hometown !

[@JamesSalvatore]

Thank you small world

[@rohitrahul5276]

Hey James, Very nice videos of your channel. Good and neat work. I am in the dilemma of considering if i should go with a 2019 GT convertible or Coupe. I am staying in UAE. My concerns are the 8months of heat + dust. If the rag top is cleanable, will it fade and all. It would be great if u could give me some suggestion with respect to it. Thanks in Advance Rohit

[@JamesSalvatore]

Me personally I'd go hard top the convertible isn't as rigid, and I doubt the tag top would be easy to keep up with

[@bigmajordawg]

Go with the conv..coupes are boring and conv are the non plus ultra

[@chuckwilson3955]

Did you notice any wind noise with the top up coming through the windows?

[@JamesSalvatore]

To be honest it's been 2 months since I drove it can't remember

[@broncomustangponypower]

Nothing abnormal/noticeable. I have one and I also had a 2012 convertible-both are fine. I like this top so much better than my 2012. It is sturdier and opens/closes faster.

[@WorldwideScents]

Rented this car and i felt like it was so fun

[@princealdosdetablan3339]

Can I ask if it can be a daily driver car? From home to work? It doesn't cost to mush on gas?

[@bigmajordawg]

First of all..if you purchase a V8 you don’t care about costs especially gas...anyhow..it’s okay..I pay between 45-50 dollar for a full tank..it holds for 300-400 miles depending how you drive

[@paulpinto4915]

I simply love this car but unfortunately this version is not available in India 😶

[@JamesSalvatore]

That sucks I'm sure it's be super expensive to import

[@Sebberlademad]

it's almost double the price in my country

[@julianW1993]

Well, an American muscle car like the mustang would be considered exotic in some places of the world.

[@jamesjensen5226]

Why would it be called premium that doesn't sound like America muscle how bout ss that sounds great

[@mlee6136]

No mention of the convertible cowl shake...

[@JamesSalvatore]

I feel like that's a given in a car at this price point

[@tonyhellcat7273]

Hi! Is the exhaust we hear in the video stock V8 or is it the active exhaust we hear in sport? I’m asking as I don’t own one and want to rent one and wondering if it would sound like this? Thanks so much!

[@JamesSalvatore]

It's the active exhaust
