2024 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium - POV First Driving Impressions

[@slocarfr]

the lack of paddle shifters killed it for me. aside from the lack of manual

[@andrewSUN17]

Same here! Otherwise looks very cool and quite quick, but no option of control of shifts is a bummer for a sports car. Paddles would be awesome!

[@SoupyTofu]

Yeah like what??, i can understand that i don't have any in my Eco box, but not having any in a performance car? kinda weird, unless ford doesnt trust the people that buy them, it probably makes it harder to do donuts in them

[@benoitallard5516]

Paddles were previously added if optioned with the Performance Package. However, the Performance Package has been dropped for the 2025MY. The Ecoboost has officially been sentenced to rental car purgatory.

40 grand for a 4 cyl mustang with no manual or paddle shifters. Just get an 86/brz at that point lol

[@BoldBrandFlakes]

Exactly, I know that technically the Mustang is more “powerful” and “quicker” but honestly not by that much if were looking at power to weight ratios. Also the 86/BRZ will be a better handler. The Ecoboost isn’t bad but yikes that price sucks.

There’s are things I like and don’t like about my 2024 ecoboost. I love the driving experience since it suits my needs and puts a smile on me every time I drive and I like the overall look of the car which is a hit or miss I know for people. The things I don’t like is 95% of everything you need to access like AC/heat is on the touchscreen dash and there’s been numerous times I will start my car and the middle dash doesn’t come active for a few moments which means no back camera and can’t control volume or anything on the screen unless you wait a few moments or restart the vehicle. Another issue that I have is it likes to disconnect from my phone a lot and I’ve never had it happen in any other vehicles and it does suck when I’m driving listening to a banger song just for it to lag all over and eventually nothing is playing. The black bar that separate the screens also somewhat annoys me like why not fully complete it and the dash computer does get hot I’ve noticed which I wonder since Saleen made a cover system for their 2024 model if there will be versions to install in the ecoboost.

Former S550 owner here. I had the new S650 ecoboost as a rental in Vegas and I was thoroughly unimpressed. The touch control everything was sub par, toggling between modes took too long and had choppy animations, and the transmission had all of the issues Topher mentioned.

[@AtomicSymphonic]

FOLKS (and @TheTopher), just a PSA to everyone, Ford has moved the 6-speed manual transmissions and paddle shifters to the higher trim levels. This Ecoboost Premium is closer to their base level/low-end trim. That's why it lacks paddles and/or a stick shift. The GT Fastback and up (including Dark Horse) have stick shifts available. I'm guessing it's a bit of an acknowledgement by Ford that the people buying *new* cars with stick shifts in North America are almost entirely enthusiasts that already want a more powerful engine with a stick shift.

[@ExpresslyVPNed]

It looks sweet on the interior, but at low 40s I think a better enthusiast car is an 86/BRZ, hot hatch, or go a few thousand more and get a Z or 2.0 Supra.

[@brian3787]

The paddles are fun, but coming from someone with 3 different mid range price cars with paddle shifters, they always suck unless it’s a track built car with racing tuned paddles.

[@CARBONCINEMATIC]

I'm starting to see used S550 ecoboosts with the manual for sale for around $12k. Great entry car for autocross, drifting, etc. I compete in time attack with mine and it does very well.

People really need to educate themselves and put more detail out there. Yes an ecoboost with 60k miles and no options/packages and probably even a crashed title is 12k. If you're getting one you better get one fully loaded or you're gonna hate your life

Was never a fan of the ecoboost because why have these when you can have a V8? Now that I'm a bit older I understand the car market more and had the chance to drive an eco boost and an older v6 mid 2010's model. I gotta say they can boogie and get down, they definitely handle a lot better than the old ones with the solid axles. I think the improvements made the mustang so much better. However, the price for one of these and the build quality I'm not too keen on, it doesn't seem to know what is it. No paddle shifters but it has a line lock on an ecoboost? Like what? I understand everything is more expensive nowadays, but this is more expensive than my GR Corolla? Albeit only by $1000 but still crazy.

[@mikeeli2286]

They sell more of these then the gt’s by far. A lot of people just like the look and it does have good performance compared to most cars out there especially at the price point. Without these they wouldn’t be able to continue to make the v8s due to low sales numbers on them. Overall a pretty solid sporty car

Might be cool if they make a dark horse but for EcoBoost instead of leather seats and 3 same-sounding exhaust options.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

I drive a LT1 10-speed. Personally i think the paddle shifters are kind of useless because its just way too many gears to shift between. Also they arent nearly as responsive as a Dual Clutch or even the ZF8 speed. The Camaro does have a good calibration of the trans in sport mode so personally I almost never use the paddle shifters except when i need to upshift after going WOT. I agree it should have them standard but I dont think its a huge deal. Low mode seems to keep revs at 3-4K rpms which is perfect.

[@raneer_6567]

The paddle shifters are great for downshifting because the 10 speeds tend to sit at the wrong (higher) gear a lot. Downshifting to accelerate is a must if you want to be in the right powerband.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

@@raneer_6567 why would you need that in normal driving? I understand if you track the car but in normal driving flooring the gas pedal is quicker than down shifting manually with gears. In sport mode my Camaro will obviously try to get to the highest gear when I'm done accelerating lol. If you need to accelerate just press the gas pedal. The 10 speed downshifts quick enough. Also as he showed in the video low mode or whatever keeps the rpms around 3-4K which is perfect

do people not realize you can get the performace pack and get paddle shifters?

[@pouyameykhosh5124]

No paddle shifters and manual mode is really weird

Honestly, the EcoBoost isn’t a real Mustang. Where’s the V8? Nice alternative for those who don’t mind and want to save fuel though.

so i drive pretty crazy. i have a 2023 EcoBoost. btw I love it, wouldn't get a 5.0 tbh. but I get 46 mpg at 120 on the highway ( I'm lowered so that probably helps ) and with speeding around town I get roughly 18-24

[@THATS1CK]

120 .. kph?

[@CELTICS7777]

I see Ford hasn't figured out how to keep their screens from looking like a bukkake scene.

With a giant BOWL

The build and price for the 2025 mustang says it includes paddle shifter for the 10 speed. Was this a 2024 only spec? Makes no sense

[@mentorofarisia371]

I really dislike the exhaust noise.

[@larrylarry8917]

That's what you get with a 4 cylinder lawnmower engine

Can't choose between this or 2025 GR86 MT
