Ford Mustang MACH 1 Real World Family Review & Rear Seat Test

[@markchip1]

DEFINITELY do an episode on safety and child-seats in the near future please!

[@dadcars]

Yeah I’ll do one, it’s fascinating how this was scored… a lot more to it than simply the score and the headline percentages

[@volvoxc6086]

Great review! Got a 2021 Mach 1 A perfect car for the whole family, a daughter of 12 and a son a 9 - no worries with luggage for us, cabin space is perfectly ok even for longer trips of 250-350km in the backseat without stops. The ride and the fun to drive the car is amazing,! Myself could continue to drive it for hours and hours as it is such fun, a real car! =) Just added an H-pipe and changed clutch spring - transformed the car to a new beast! More torque at lower revs feels better. Still being the same car, but the rumble now is like goosebumps every time, and the clutch spring - well it transformed the gear shifting from enjoyable to freaking amazing! If you are thinking about getting one - just do it!

[@dadcars]

Ah man that’s awesome! What a DadCar, I sing the praises of the Mach 1 to anyone!

[@taniagunter6067]

What a magnificent noise that this car makes 😊

[@dadcars]

Not so loud it’s obnoxious yet very soothing to hear… the little ones like it 😅

[@Steve200300]

Great video thanks for sharing. Dream car definitely fighter jet grey.

[@dadcars]

🙌… it’s brilliant

[@masterofdisaster666]

As a dad enthusiast… I love this channel! Trying to pick my next dad ride so this is very helpful! Gotta share these cars with our kids if we want to raise gearheads!

[@dadcars]

Thank you my man 🙌 I completely agree! 😊

[@ToastOnToast]

Bit of a relief that this one's available in right hand drive unlike the ZL1. Looks nice in white as well.

[@dadcars]

Yeah it’s a treat we get these in RHD

[@machdaddy6451]

I love the fighter jet gray color. When I bought that was one thing that was non-negotiable.

[@dadcars]

It’s a really wonderful colour in person I can confirm! Did you notice I said “Mach daddy” at the start of this video!! 😅

[@machdaddy6451]

@@dadcars I did notice!

[@DrivenFloored]

Really interesting find on the crash testing - great vid as always! Your kids are too cute - hope you got chance to sneak out without them to properly floor it :)

[@dadcars]

Thank you so much for lending me the car James 👏 I REALLY enjoyed my time with it 😎

[@DavidBrown-bs7gg]

This video dropped at the right time, thinking of buying one of these

[@dadcars]

If you do, you won’t regret it 😎 what colour you thinking?

[@machdaddy6451]

When I bought my 21 Mach 1 I was given one free day at Ford Performance Racing School. It's called Mach 1 Track Attack. It was such a great experience.

[@rcnmoto1548]

Its becoming hilarious checking your kids reaction when you hit the loud pedal. On this one they were clearly not impressed. Cracking video and really good point about the noise a car makes giving pedestrians an audible heads up!

[@dadcars]

I honestly think they are just used to fast cars now 😅 the feeling of acceleration isn’t shocking to them anymore

[@drx1xym154]

@@dadcars -- yes, though that exhaust note, on the 5.0 Mustangs are *_music!_* The GT is a bit soft, suspension wise, depending... Mach 1, all the way!

[@machdaddy6451]

@@dadcars I love those KZbins were they take their kid for a ride in daddy's FAST car and he gets the kid to promise to "don't tell mommy"

[@avocado9763]

I have been buying mustangs since 1990 + and if the quality climbed like the price you would be driving with the highest quality of a Rolls - Royce. Well done. Thanks

[@dadcars]

I think these are brilliant value for money these cars 👏

[@TailoringTalkMagazine]

Currently looking to get out of a Supra and seriously considering the Mach 1 so thank you for this review! I need the +2 at the back 😊

[@dadcars]

We’ve reviewed a Supra too 👌😮‍💨 the Mach 1 is an exceptional modern Dad car

[@TailoringTalkMagazine]

@@dadcars the Supra is awesome but just missing that tiny bit of practicality ! Thank you again 🙏

[@FuelwithDave]

Said before your Mustang video before definitely helped me convince myself that a Mustang daily driver for the wife (my weekend car) was a good idea with the kids 😂 👍

[@dadcars]

Yeah that’s awesome! They are genuinely brilliant DadCars 👏

[@stevewallace1387]

I have a 69 plate GT PP1 done 25000 miles in two years best car I have ever had looking at getting the dark horse next year here in the uk

[@dadcars]

I’ve sat in a dark horse… not a fan of the screens but it’s brilliant they are still making manual V8s!

[@morgman43]

Currently sat on my sofa with my 1 month old daughter asleep on my lap getting muscle car ideas...

[@dadcars]

🫡… check out the ZL1 review 😅 also done some of these reviews with my baby 😎

[@englishofcourse]

really interesting video :) shame we're getting this OPF / GPF over here in europe :( noise is definitely the same as the US one

[@RobertFalconer1967]

Love it! Few cars in the world, at any price, make a better sound than these Mustangs.

[@dadcars]

A proper American V8 is glorious isn’t it 🙌

[@nigel.w]

Very sensible performance car, IMO. Relatively good value, too. And here in the UK, they're quite special. I also agree that the likes of the black plastic front splitter are a good thing. What are the annual running costs of an early one of these? I suspect they're relatively reliable.

[@machdaddy6451]

I have the 21 Mach 1 and IMO it's the best current non-Shelby Mustang. I had a 1969 Mach 1 which I really enjoyed for twenty years, but the current Mach 1 is better in every way.

[@dadcars]

That sounds awesome!!! 🙌

[@bwooters8227]

Awesome color.. What car seats are those? i have twin 3 year old girls and have a 22 in shadow black. They havent rode in mine yet but wanna be able to take the family in it on occasions

[@dadcars]

Link in description 😊

[@MrCarrera28]

I wonder if that sound when you indicate would become irritating after a while?

[@dadcars]

Lol I got used to it quickly and didn’t notice it after a few days 😅

[@Bannko2]

I would very much appreciate if you would be able to do a review of the latest Mustang generation to see how it has changed in terms of practicality and rear seats. Btw how tall are you? Cheers

[@DaveFromNorthWales]

What’s the exhaust note like these in real life have they been dumbed down for the uk market?

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Agree, who wants a carbon fibre chin spoiler!? More money than sense

[@dadcars]

Carbon fibre is very very cool, but stressful as well 😅

[@benpenagonzales6014]

The Hyundai N digital dash is pretty good but the touchscreen is dangerous! Maybe I’m old fashioned but idrive is the best.

[@dadcars]

Yeah just in drivers cars, I don’t like loads of distracting screens personally

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Ben & girls. Hope your all doing good. That's one cool video. Plastic is what's messing up these cars these days. Too much of it, likr6 that Mustang lower front end of anything lightly hit that. It absolutely should be made of carbon or carbon kevlar.

[@dadcars]

It makes sense for me with the Mustang as it would become an expensive car otherwise. I fully agree it’s strange to see so much basic plastic on very expensive German sports cars though!

[@user-cj7dv2kc6d]

What about your 8 and 10 year olds?

[@dadcars]

8 and 10 year olds would fit in the back easily too I’d say

[@markchip1]

22% more downforce!! But that's realistically only at racing or Autobahn speeds - not that relevant when carrying kids around, lol!!

[@DrivenFloored]

Roughly right but at ‘extended’ motorway speeds this is the first car I’ve ever driven that I could really feel the change. When circumstances allow it’s really noticeable around 80, which is basically what you said :)

[@dadcars]

Lol maybe not on the school run but honestly the dynamics of the Mach 1 feel much more planted even at low speed

[@19hundoc47]

There’s only one perfect stock Mustang, and that’s the GT350. Too bad the engine is so unreliable

[@hashbrown4278]

Gt500

[@stevenpike7530]

Over paid, over sexed & over here (Us troops in GB 1945)…rings true.
