[@tomybrey9020]

Here in Argentina, it costs USD 95.000

[@ClickLikeAndSubscribe]

Do your think the main reason it costs $50k is because Ford makes tons of money on it? They would have killed Mustang like the rest of the sedans: Focus, Fiesta, Fusion, Taurus, Cmax if not for great profitability.

[@benboshaw2828]

i work for Ford and i actually assemble the 10 speed automatic transmission thats in the mustang. there is a QR code on EVERY component in the car. every parts build date can be identified with this code. it is used to sync the line for model changes ect. if theres ever a quality issue the single part can be tracked back its supplier build, shipping and final instalation date. has made containment of issues extremely accurate and fast.

[@yathatschris2706]

most are data matrix codes. not qr

[@nickh.3315]

Chris pysk can confirm, data matrix. I had to verify parts to audit our Telesis Machine which laser etched matrix codes. Doug, use the app Scandit then pick the “any code” option, it should pick up on the matrix. It would most likely just be a series of numbers followed by dates and part numbers.

Those aren't QR codes. They're DM (a.k.a. Data Matrix) codes. A regular QR-code reader won't read them. A DM code will store only 50 characters -- ideal for a part-number or serial number. And the spare-tire well exists because you *can* buy a spare tire for it. If you want to pony up $175 extra. Also, for $53K, you should've had the magnetorheological suspension -- thus you could make the ride less harsh by selecting a different driving mode, if I'm not mistaken.

Same goes for stuff like air con vents and the steering Collum.

Actually, the beauty of the Mustang is that Ford has enticed a ton of young buyers who don’t want a rice rocket. The small block V8 has advanced to a point that the turbo 4 or smaller engines just can’t keep up with the torque and power of a solid V8 with advanced fuel injection, they can make the power but the torque is weak, and the smaller engine has to be over tuned and revved to compete with an advanced V8. I think Ford has hit a home run with the Mustang by keeping older buyers and picking up newer buyers who could care less about buying American, they just want a cool car, and Ford has done it with the newer Mustangs. Being able to take an S550 and slap a supercharger on it can boost the power to 650-800hp without killing the engine, that’s how advanced and tough theses engines are. There are dealers taking base Mustang GT’s and putting on Roush super chargers for just over $40,000, but still less then $50k. Where else OR what other car can you buy for less then $50,000 with 700+hp? This is an amazing time we live in, for car enthusiasts, massive horsepower V8’s that actually get reasonable mpg and this power was only a dream over a decade ago. I was never a Ford guy, but after watching Ford Vs Ferrari and learning more about Shelby and other aspects of Ford racing, I went out and bought a new base GT and have modified it, there’s a million high performance parts for these, and many if them are high quality, especially “Ford Performance”. I’ve owned many euro sports cars, and I believe Doug’s comment “it’s a blast” sums it up, incredibly fun to drive. Yes, the interior sucks, who cares? I bought the car for the engine, and it’s insane, and the independent rear suspension is really good, which was always a weak point for Ford. A $50 aftermarket spring fixes the clutch by the way. You can take a Mustang GT and make it into a “super car” for a whole lot less $$$ then people think...LOVE THIS CAR, I don’t regret a single second of it...

[@anthony91688]

All good points. And I like when you say “who cares about interior”. I am one of those guys also that doesn’t really care when car shopping about luxury or interior quality. I had a 2001 mustang gt and the interior I was horrible. But didn’t bother me at all because it was a fun car to drive. My Camaro and my current car, gto are the same way although the gto is much nicer than the mustang On the inside. But still, for me it’s about performance. I test drove a 2019 bullit last year and although the interior isn’t luxury quality, to me it was more than nice enough. But the feeling of driving it was amazing. I am selling my gto in a couple of months and will be picking up a 2018+ gt. Can’t wait. Also I heard on another channel that the spring for the clutch pedal helps a lot so good point on that. I will be installing one of those once I pick it up.

Doug, Our 2018 Mazda3 6-speed manual has adaptive cruise control as well. It does not disengage when you push in the clutch and will allow you to upshift and downshift as needed. If you slow down too much or are on an incline that is too steep for the gear you are in the HUD will prompt you to downshift. Works great and I'm not sure why other companies can't seem to match Mazda's approach.

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Dylan Powell That's exactly how my company car,a 2017 Skoda Octavia estates adaptive cruise control works as well.

[@SorinNicu]

And if you DON'T downshift, then it stalls?

[@stheil]

Same in my 2017 MINI Cooper. I was surprised that the Mustang can't do that, seems kind of cheap...

[@stheil]

I don't know how it is in the Mazda but in my car it does what the Mustang does as well: If it reaches a certain lower limit (30 km/h I think) it shows a warning and turns off. At that point you're just driving a normal manual car so if you don't do anything, yes it will stall. But that's the driver's fault then

[@GraniteBees]

You are somewhat correct on the QR code’s. Auto manufacturers use them to ensure the correct part # gets on the vehicle. In some cases (mainly safety related), the part is assigned a unique number and “scanned” to the vehicle. Thus, if a recall ever has to be made, they can be certain which vehicles need to be called back.

[@aventadordriver6086]

Doug there is an absolute logical reason why you have almost 2 million followers on your channel...beating almost every (current or new) famous guy reviewer by a very large margin (though Parker from vehicle virgins is somewhat, but still far closing in)...and that reason is, as goofy and somewhat sarcastically funny as you are, you do give a very thorough and practical once over of any vehicle you review. You have a very uncanny and entertaining way of pointing out and scrutinizing I think literally every nook and cranny of a vehicle but also at the same time going over specs and what makes that particular vehicle shine or suck. Also you are goofy (a compliment) as supposed to overly excited or hyper which bugs me personally with other reviewers, but most of all of all of your “quirkiness” I like the fact that you seem to come across as a down to earth guy who has his shit together and thoroughly knows his subject. So congrats! As a very serious petrol head, I would always look for your reviews and insight 1st before I seek the point of view of your other peers because I know that with you, I’m not being bullshitted/ hyped/ or stroked and that I’m getting enough intelligent info to learn or make a decision...but also entertained at the same time.

Doug, "Powered by Ford" is tradition that is usually on the valve covers, going back to the 1960s Mustangs and GT40. Also, the running lights are an homage to original gills on the 1964 1/2 Mustang. The 2005-2009 Mustang had machined "gills" inside the headlight assembly to give a similar effect.

A couple things. Your Mustang had the optional Recaro seats which are for track and racing. The normal seats have power and you can also get them heated and vented. Plus, you got the manual 6 speed. That car now has the latest 10 speed automatic that Ford designed with GM. Points off of the features for the manual seats isn't fair. There should be bonus points for the fact that there are so many things you can change on the Mustang that no 2 are exactly alike. That gauge cluster is optional by the way. At least you found out how much fun it is to drive.
