Fun fact about my Wife. This was almost 4 year ago. She COULDN'T SLEEP after taking a test drive of 2018 5.0 Mustang GT premium at the local dealer. Needless to say. We went and pick up her new ride the following weekend.😉

[@andreaspencer9813]

Awesome!! 👌

[@84imreplica]

Years ago I owned a 1990 Monster Miata (Mustang 5 litre/5 speed conversion). I'd often pull into a gas station or parking lot and have guys look around for a Mustang with that V8 rumble. Then they'd realize that sound was coming from a little Miata. Priceless!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Awesome story!

[@Motormouth...]

I always wanted to drive one of those!

[@TheMegalodon88]

I own a 2015 GT premium coupe in manual with the performance pack in yellow. It’s a great car and been a blast to drive for the past 4 years. The newer ones with the upgraded interior, tech and suspension improvements are worth looking at. I think it’s time you put one in the family stable. Fun review! Cheers

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for sharing, it would be a fun one to have!

[@TMS5100]

Such polished presentation these days

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so much!

[@kevinbarrett9615]

I’ve had my 18 G.T. Ragtop since new, love it and look for excuses to drive. Mine is lightning blue metallic and people just love the colour. It’s equipped exactly like this one and the adaptive exhaust is awesome ! The sound is really the core and that sweet Coyote motor never disappoints.

[@croaker68]

Could a tall driver use it? I am tall 6' 6" and could not fit in a corvette or camaro but would like a sporty convertible.

Good review. Mach 1 review pleas. Also 5 videos a week.....wowza. You both are the most hardworking KZbin auto reviewers out there. MACH 1 , MACH 1 MACH 1

[@richarddemelo]

@@Motormouth... Nice car, but plagued with issues. Owners are suing Ford in federal court for $228 million. The lawsuit claims that transmissions and differentials on their high-performance pony cars are allegedly overheating at high speeds, sending the car into limp mode.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@ibakedit5850]

You guys always make me smile. I have an ecoboost which always gives me between 10.5 L and 11.0 L in the city. It has 19 inch wheels, I find the ride quality very good. Also, I applaud how quiet the car is, road and engine noise are well suppressed.

[@almadacr70]

I'm doing 7L in highway going at 110Km and 10L in the bad roads of Montreal but you are spot on the ride quality has nothing to do with the older stangs

Dear Lord, i want that white Mustang GT convertible.... but I live in the snowbelt. Summer nights driving it would be heavenly.

[@chuckhelson3744]

That V8 gives better mileage than my Ecoboost and the V8 is a Hell of a lot cheaper to repair as well. On the Ecoboost, to replace the timing belt, they have to take the front cover off the motor… that’s a thousand dollars there, just to take the cover off and put it back on. Under that cover is the timing belt, the water pump and the oil pump. Talk about screwing the consumer over for repairs. While I had the cover off, I replaced all three. $ 3600. Not a hope in Hell I’d ever buy another Ecoboost.

[@benedictdonald4338]

Crappy engine in the long run, too. Get the 8.

[@Gman450a1]

My wife & I rented the GT hardtop in Vancouver. It was way too OBNOXIOUS for her in both sound and colour (Kermit the Frog green). I applaud Ford for making this Beast still though. Thanks again for the fine review!

[@andreaspencer9813]

It is so loud, you want attention, you've got it with this one. Thanks for watching!

[@andreaspencer9813]

@Hugh MacIsaac lol! Our neighbours were pretty good about it all when we had it for a week. But I guess they knew it was going.

[@sunnyvalentino]

This generation of Mustang GT (2015+) is the sweet spot in the lineup, with all you want (smooth reliable V8, nice interior, limited slip etc) but none of the expensive high maintenance stuff (carbon wheels, back breaking ride etc). No price markups either. More expensive then they used to be, but comes with a lot more than it used to.

[@Motormouth...]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tlevans62]

They have these in the Philippines and there's no way I'd buy anything other than the V8. Screw fuel economy, that sound, that rumble, heaven..

[@belvederedog2563]

Great review as always. The Mustang has to be one of the most iconic designs ever. I absolutely love them. It was a hard choice last year when I bought a new car. The Mustang or my unbelievable Stinger GT. Stinger won because of the overall package in my opinion. If I do get another car it will be a Mustang just because it is a Mustang. Cheers from Oz.

[@teekay_1]

The only downside I can tell in the US is that you can't get the Magneride shocks with the convertible package. And she's wrong, the default transmission in this car is the 6-speed Tremac transmission.

[@CrispusAttucks2315]

Best car reviewers on KZbin!!!

[@liuray6486]

Such a beautiful cover pic (people & car). Got me to watch the video every time I see this !

[@magellanmax]

The 15MPG City/24 HWY numbers are ridiculous! For a V8, I have absolutely no idea how they made an engine that big to crank out so much horses while sipping some little gas. Ford could make a pure sports car and lose the air cooled/ heated seats and other bell and whistles and this thing could sell like hot cakes. Love it!

[@grantshuster1985]

Think this is my 17th Mustang. 2020 GT. All the extras. Every generation of Mustang is improved. My two continues gripes are the radio graphics and the sound system. The graphics looked better to me in the 2014 model for example with the built in mp3 hard drive. I have the upgraded B&O system, great improvement to the 9 speaker system but that bass still needs to kick more. Remember the Mach 1000 system with the dual mounted trunk subs and the amps on the rack. Was so cool.

[@michaelguilfoyle3847]

as they say..there is no replacement for displacement...always liked these..even being a Mopar guy...the Mustang transcends brands..it is just a great car...period..Zach...keep working on Andrea..have a feeling she would love to look good in one of them..Happy Canada Day.

Happy Canada day! Oh he'll keep working on convincing me. lol!

[@stuntmanstu1000]

Had a 2017 California GT convertible and now a 2021 hardtop GT with the PP1 package and LOVE it! Great review

[@canuckwineguy]

I have a 2016 convertible 3.7 L V6, Ford no longer offers that engine. I paid $24,000 with 22,000 km in 2018! What a bargain. I did some mods; upgraded stereo, new K&N air intake, lowered 1 1/4” all around, new front rear sway bars, 19” wheels, and chipped it to about 330hp. few things worth mentioning; the styling never gets old, it has a classy look that will stay current for years, the trunk is relatively HUGE, I golf a lot and the trunk easily holds my push cart and full size golf bag without removing longer golf clubs, try that other convertibles! My only regret, I purchased a black car…. Now I’m a slave to keeping the $#!?* thing clean…… excuse me I have to go wash my car AGAIN >:-/ lol ….

[@mikebell2750]

[@belvederedog2563]

Indeed it is a great looking car. I absolutely love the looks of it. See quite a few in Sydney. Not sure about value for money when compared to the Stinger GT. I did the exercise and bought the Stinger GT. Also in Oz the Mustang get a 3 star NCAP rating which is surprising. My friend has a Mustang and it is sensational. Absolutely love them.

[@harsimransingh2967]

I believe 5.0 has its own features and it's damn good too But EcoBoost has its own features, u can have sports car in way less with great economy. Not a big fan of high performance package as it doesn't make any sense. In that case we can go for 5.0. Also 5.0 is not a daily driver considering the gas prices which are 1.75 per liter of gas right now in BC

If Ford screws up the next Mustang without the world famous 5.0 V8, they are killing an icon. 3.5 Ecoboost with mild hybrid is no replacement for a V8. If they are going of what those enviromentalist wants by killing an iconic ICE engine, I would rather see they kill the Mustang instead. But just don't called an EV SUV Mach-E a "Mustang" for god's sake. I agreed with Jim Kenzie of Motoring at this point.
