[@nelsonserrate9281]

As a former multiple Mustang GT owner, the interior is cheap, yes, but the engine and drivetrain are bullet proof when maintained properly. With that being said, I would not own anything newer than newer than a 2020. Funny you made the comment of a 1998 GT. I owned a 98 cobra coupe. Loved it. The live axel meant you had to know how to drive it. Nothing against your driving ability.

[@Pigdowndog]

I've done 6 road trips in the US all in Mustangs. Probably seen more of America than most Americans. Perfectly comfortable tourer. Stay off the tourist routes. Set the sat-nav to ignore the highways and take the back roads. Great fun. You meet the real citizens where my cockney accent is decribed as "purty". Great people.

[@tenpoundburrito]

The Mustang is a lot cheaper here in America than in Europe (probably thanks to the big tariffs on imported cars from America). Here, you could get the fastback with the V-8 like you mentioned for just under $43,000, which comes out to roughly £33,000. If you wanted the smaller, more ecotax-friendly four-cylinder twin turbo, you could get it for £24,500 after exchange rate. To put that into perspective, that's a rear-wheel drive, two-door sporty car with over 300 horsepower for £4,000 less than a new Focus hatchback and even slightly less than the new Vauxhall Astra's lowest-priced model. You can tell the money went into the engine, chassis, and styling instead of the interior.

[@richyclubsport5155]

As a 2020 Mustang Bullet owner, i love my Mustang, just turned 22k with no issues, servicing not expensive, fuel consumption ranges from 15 town to 30 on a run at steady 70mph.

This is one of those cars that you always wanted, then when you can afford to buy one you very quickly wonder why.

Here in the UK they make little sense even in RHD form, but in the USA with it's higher wages and lower prices then if you can live with cheap plastic they make more sense. My advice is try before you buy, hiring one is the best way of making a wise choice.

[@gsmdo8836]

I rented the previous model in June this year and agree with your review. It was clearly built down to a price - the spade handle roof catch is just ridiculous. My rental car had about 40k miles on it, and the wear and tear on the interior showed every mile. It didn't have the huge touch screen yours did, so most of the switches were old-school, but their paint finish was wearing off them. The USB connector on the dash was awkward to use and - likely as a result - didn't work properly (but the one in the centre console worked fine). I got better MPG than you (30.5 per US gal overall), but used it almost exclusively out of town in California for three weeks...

I have also owned a Ford Focus, a German built Ford Capri with the 2. 6 litre V6 engine. Some were bought new, some were bought used. Maintenance wise, only the Ford Focus,a nd the Ford Capri cost next to nothing to maintain. For example, I replaced an oil pan gasket on the Capri inabout 20 minutes, and the part cost me about 7 dollars. Last year we had to replace the leaky oil pan gasket on 2011 BMW. The cost was close to $5,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF! Two turbos on the allroad? $6,500. Automatic tranny on the allraod? Also $6.500. Utter German rubbish!!!

And if you try the new Lincoln range, its obvious they know how to do it better. Blame it on the accountants.

I owned a 2019 Mustang GT in the UK for a year. Mine was a black convertible as well, as it happens, but mine was a manual. I didn't like the 10-speed auto option, as it always felt like it was hunting; the manual was much better. I averaged c.18mpg, but it would do nearly 30 on a run. Quality-wise, the 2019 car was much better than the one you have reviewed (and there was no stupid touch screen). I was also disappointed with the performance, the Coyote is too top-endy and lacks low down torque - I blame the flat plane crank design. It's electric when you rev the nuts of it, but you have to be going silly speeds to get that grin on your face. That's why I didn't keep it for long :)

Remember it isn't an expensive car. I want the manual handle for the roof. I would prefer the Mazda MX5 Miata top. Put it in drag strip mode! I've rented several over the years. I didn't like the size.

'Seems like a pretty good summary. At the end of the day it IS a mustang but even then, £60k is way too steep.

The previous version was better looking, and the interior also seemed better

Maybe if it had the 10 speed box it would feel quicker

The rear seating room is less than my wife’s GR Yaris. How did they manage that in such a big car.

[@mrmcgraw3706]

Yes

Who were you imagining being, or being with, Brando, Nicholson, Beatty, Hopper etc? I would love to drive around there.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Haha James Dean probably

[@ravitaheem4272]

Matt would be great If you did a video with Doug DeMuro and Motoman, make it happen 👍

[@HighPeakAutos]

Maybe one day!

I think you'd need to live in Venezuela, where gas is around £0.20 per gallon, to make sense of this.

In Australia you can buy a 2025 GT hardtop for $87500 aud drive-away!! They come fully loaded and registration charges are based on weight so are minimal over standard pricing approx. $1050aud total- yearly All Mustangs are highly optioned here and come standard with: 10 speed auto or 6 spd manual Quad exhaust system with Active valve bi modal performance exhaust with four selectable modes Unique 19x9-inch (front) and 19x9.5-inch (rear) alloy wheels - Carbonised Grey Quality Pirelli P Zero tyres Brembo™ Brakes with red callipers Sports lowered suspension set up Fit and finish on the exterior has improved considerably, but interior quality is average when compared to the Euros But a similar performance Euro eg M4 or RS5 you are paying double. Ford offer a 5 year comprehensive bumper to bumper warranty including anything in the interior.!! How do I know all this? I own one.
