FORD MUSTANG V8 CONVERTIBLE 2017 Review with BabyGorilla81 - Joe Achilles

[@miguel.bc11]

A relative owns a Mustang 5.0 Convertible manual and I agree with you in basically everything. The interior is not the nicest but it looks good and there are parts that are not bad. The seats are good and there's actually a lot of room in the car. The practical car they had was damaged, so they had to use this as an everyday car. It's now got 22k miles and it's only one year old. His daughters aren't the tallest, but they fit in the back with no problems; and bigger people also fit. It's a really practical car for what it is. It could be that I haven't driven enough fast cars, but the car felt super quick when I drove it. I reached 135mph without even noticing. It's a fast car. And yes, the smile on my face was priceless. The way the people look at you is astonishing (his Mustang is bright red, so...) Anyway, I really have enjoyed your review. You should do more reviews with him. BTW, does your M135i feel faster or is it faster than the 'Stang?

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers man, yeah will definitely do more stuff with Aaron. And yeah my M135i is quicker than this Mustang. Cheers

[@GBFeb72]

Great vid. Love that engine, bugger the ride quality and handling. It's just a great lump of fun 😎😎

[@lewis2975]

Nice video as always mate, nice edit with all the different camera shots

[@K20TypeR]

The coupe doesn’t have many of the drawbacks the convertible has. Coupe for driving, convertible for posing! Great video once again. Love your work.

I could imagine in 3 or 4 years time bits of trim will fall off in the Mustang. I spoke to a sales woman at my Local Ford dealership who told me (after I pointed out the poor build quality) that when the first cars came over the bonnet (hood) was out alignment so the dealership had to take them off and put it on straight. I walked out of the show room and bought my M235i the next weekend. Great video yet again Joe.

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

Matthew's Motors I'd bet it'll be more reliable long term than any BMW - Fords just go on and on ... build quality and posh materials are not the same thing (and I've always owned German cars, but they've never been faultless)

[@carreragt8516]

Matthew's Motors nah fords are really on par with Germans for reliability, hence why you still see many 10+ year old fords about

[@rspcamatthew]

CarreraGT I was mainly talking about the interior build quality of let's be honest a 40k+ car.

[@theoldfoolstheoldfools9997]

Quality content as always Joe 👊

[@crabbh]

Thanks Joe! Excellent stuff as usual :)

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thank you for watching :-)

[@johannes.f.r.]

Probably the best hire car. I would never buy one, but for a holiday it's a bit of a giggle.

[@bricksandgames2244]

Enjoyed the pair of you together in this video. Please do another car spotting video together in London.

[@AndrewAstley]

Loved that intro music, cinamatic af! That dude in the passenger seat is a natural. Should probably start a channel himself. 😜

[@JoeAchilles1]

Hahaha that would never happen mate, he's far too busy looking at himself in the mirror ;-)

[@eliottlaw4119]

I really don't understand the people who slate your video it's simple, to the point and bloody funny!!!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha cheers buddy, glad you appreciate my humour ;-) Hope you're well man!

[@eliottlaw4119]

Joe Achilles, no worries it annoys me when you see a good KZbin doing great videos and people talk shit about them, criticise yeah but don't talk shit!! But I'm well thank you when you coming to BMW hailsham again?

[@JoeAchilles1]

Yeah it frustrates me too mate, too many keyboard warriors out there haha. No plans to come to Hailsham, my salesman Jordan left a while ago so I use somewhere else now unfortunately. Cheers man

[@eliottlaw4119]

Joe Achilles indeed!! 😂 aww man that's a shame. Look forward to what ever may replace your m2 though!! That was great fun!!

[@vcchannel4191]

Was interested but if it’s 5.0l and not fast, I ain’t buying. Convertible or hard top versions ?

[@steveskipper6473]

Kudos to the amazing quality of the audio with the hood down. Can you lend your mic setup to Matt Farrah

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers man, I was disappointed with some of the sound actually ;-)

[@cnh1184]

Brilliant video and great commentary from the both of you. Need a tatbels wig for Aaron (at least for a little part of the video next time) for the windswept heavy acceleration and braking with giggling.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha I will see what we can do for next time :-)

[@benbroccoli89]

Great review

[@LivingLifeFastLLF]

You guys work really well together 👌🏾 brilliant video 👍🏾

[@JoeAchilles1]

Cheers buddy, hope you're well man!

[@kingsleymohammed9627]

i know it is quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?

[@bowenrey1633]

@Kingsley Mohammed I would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@kyreeforest4868]

@Bowen Rey definitely, I have been using Flixzone for since march myself =)

[@reeselarry4207]

@Bowen Rey Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!

[@richards4456]

That thing sounds ace! Funny though about the gearing, 3rd gear in an F20/21 116i will take you over 100mph!

[@CarObsession]

I know I'm late, but I really enjoyed that video.

[@MilesDrive]

A car that makes you smile, what more could you want.....great vid Joe. You & Aaron are good together.....not like that! in that your friendship comes across to make the vid entertaining.....oh and that Aaron geeza, cool as a cucumber, you can't faze him with that sideways nonsense, Joe!

[@carreragt8516]

I'd genuinely put this on par with the E92 M3. I love this thing, that engine for that cheap is unbelievable. While the German sports cars are falling with smaller, boring engines this just comes out with a big N/A V8 AND FOR £35000!

[@user-s8jb3qb6y]

A convertible compared with a coupé? You have yet to understand the basics of cars.

[@claviclenotch1876]

Do a few days in an GT350 Joe, and your jaw with hit your lap. Guaranteed. ps. My 2017 M2 is AWESOME!! Thank you. It was your pick up at the Dealership video that made me sell my 2016 manual 5.0, and buy the baby M.

[@myporscheadventures]

missing some scenes 😂

[@JavierCR25]

Hi Joe! In terms of acceleration and speed how do you compare it with your M135i??

[@JoeAchilles1]

I would say its around 10% slower than my M135i in a straight line

[@flatsix666]

First thought on seeing one at my Ford dealer was, it's physically too big for the UK. The thing is huge!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thats what she said ;-)

[@KevindKeyser]

The yellow GT350 would be nice to see in a review, or any other GT350. ;)

[@harryc266]

Personally I'd rather get a second hand m3 convertible! If you can afford to run a 5L v8 get something that's actually worth it. Great video tho joe!

[@tredfxman]

ZigSteenine Any day ithink, lolll. However my friend bought this, & thinks hes gona beat my GTI Clubsport (Golf R engine.. lolll)

[@Zaki-pi9kq]

It is a lightning blue or a kona blue color ??

[@kobbetop]

The Mustang is made for the masses in the States so it's made cheaper than German cars. In Finland it's like 80k Euro or more lol so nobody buys them. It's a cool part of automotive history and now with independent rear suspension ;-)

[@iantownsend500]

I'd buy a coupe & keep it below 40 grand so I don't get hit with the high tax

[@tredfxman]

Lol, my friend bought this V8 5 Litre (425 hp is it) and he thinkhes gonna beat me in my new GTI Clubsport (whichs kinda like the Golf R at 300 hp) Will see how that goes... lolz ;)

[@jananney]

I think he’ll smoke you, my friend.

[@K20TypeR]

3DFX he has a flat torque curve from almost idle.

[@freedom6919741]

It’s not that quick ? Are you high ?

[@redbluepill2701]

These two cringetards are the demographic that are ruining the image of this stang, I recently brought a 2017 5.0 coupe and it's fucking fast as hell..
