Mustang GT with 10 speed

[@paulhudson231]

I honestly don't see too many people cross shopping these two cars because they are so different other than speed. If you want a fast 4-door, get the G70. For me, it would be the Mustang because I like N/A v8's with a manual transmission. The Ford v8 will probably require less maintenance long term compared to a twin-turbo v6. It would NOT be orange, though. Full disclosure, one of my daily drivers is a 2004 Mach 1, 5sp manual, 124K miles, owned since new.

My 2015 is not as fast as the newer models, and no where near as fast as the 2020 Shelby GT500, but I absolutely love my GT. I'm not a trained driver but the car is controllable and actually very forgiving if you pay attention to what you're doing. I never get tired of shifting, even in stop & go traffic.

[@caedom21]

I had a 2016 GT with performance package, manual. As a 35+ male, with 2 kids, with traffic, it was a terrible daily commuter. As a weekend car, it was glorious. Getting kids in and out of child seats was terrifying at best. Fuel mileage was so horrific, gassing up every few days. The build quality was questionable with all the panel gaps and issues I had with the seats and breaks. However, out of the box, it sounded like Thor’s hammer, and had ridiculous speed that rivals anything German with wheelbarrows of cash to spare. I say all that to say this.... I got rid of the Mustang after a year and bought an F150 (with the 5.0) because the most important thing right now is ability to get my kids out of the car without feeling like I did a yoga session. But the GT, made me feel like I was 18 again and so, I’m saving up for another Mustang. 🤦‍♂️😏

[@phillipvansickle4220]

Yup...did the same, traded a '13 GT for a more practical ride...I missed that car badly!!! So 5 years later, I bought a brand new '18 GT as a third car. I got the manual transmission...I simply don't care about the hassle of driving it in traffic. Nothing like having 460 HP at your disposal when you drop the clutch!!! I love that car....so much damned fun to drive...It's my 4 wheel Harley...and my daily driver if there is no snow on the ground :)

[@raymondnewbill2748]

It is a brilliant car!!! I love that we have more options for quick sporty sedans. However it is not faster than anything German!!! In fact pretty much all the sporty sedans are faster than it. The 340i and 540i would walk away from it. Not to mention the ///M which are so much faster than those it's not even funny. Like I said though, it's still a fun quick car.

[@MatthiasAI]

how about we just take the seats out of the Hyundai put them in the Mustang, Win? xD

[@chuckd7423]

The G80 5.0 weighs 4,700 pounds, which is roughly 900 pounds more than the Mustang GT, and it makes 420HP/383 lb ft of torque, which is around 40 less HP and torque than the Mustang. The Mustang would have it for lunch.

[@TheRickJames]

@@chuckd7423 It really depends... In a short strait line sure....

[@chuckd7423]

@@TheRickJames, Not just in a short straight line. That much lighter, more powerful Mustang would pound the G80 even more on a track. The G80 is not built for cornering. It's a boulevard cruiser built for comfort on freeway trips, not for cornering on a track. I've owned older variations of both of these vehicles. I bought a 2005 Mustang GT when the new body style came out. It had a 300 HP 4.6 liter V8 and 5 speed standard transmission. I've long ago got rid of that vehicle, but I still own a 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 Sedan with a 385 HP engine and a 6 speed auto. The Genesis has a considerably more powerful motor than my Mustang had, but because it's around 500 pounds heavier, the Mustang had slightly better straight line acceleration numbers. The lighter, less powerful Mustang would walk all over the Genesis on a track though.

[@chuckd7423]

@@guyfrancis4643, Yes, you probably would, and no, it wouldn't mean anything, but I was replying specifically to Michael Lazarus comment which ridiculously insinuated that a 5.0 G80 would be faster than a Mustang GT on a track.

[@JCTiggs1]

The 2018+ Mustang GT requires a LOT of restraint and driver control, and without smooth inputs to the throttle and brakes it can easily get away from you. In a sense it requires more skill to drive on the ragged edge (track days) but as Thomas said this is precisely what makes it so rewarding.

[@Gizamalukeix]

I don't know about all that but if you like a challenge then why not live in a cabin without any amenities? Drive a car or truck on two wheels? We do here in Dubai. Not a lot of Mustangs here because it's a poor guy's "quick car". But you will be laughed at to content for driving that here. But even a '92 Viper RT-10 gets praise because it's special and a man's vehicle and so beautiful. Also 4 ring R8 V10 is amazing

[@Karrottop009]

6 months later in an 18 GT with the manual, can confirm this car puts a stupid grin on your face leaving work every day! I chose the 265's M+S rated tires on all corners and experienced first snow in Missouri just recently. With a trunk full of wood and full tank of gas, I made it to work with about an inch on the roads. Any more and will need some Blizzaks (which were absolutely fantastic on 16 Camaro SS). The Mustang averaged 29.7mpg highway at 65mph with 3.55 rear end. Dyno results were 434whp/397ft*lb. My biggest complaint is the new twin disc clutch that locks out gears after it gets too warm. By warm, I mean spending an entire Saturday from dawn till dusk driving twisty roads with friends. If you're worried about getting too "squirrelly", rest assured that the new traction management is a very strict nanny. In track mode, you are allowed to slide about 10-15 degrees before it brings you back in. The traction control also kicks in if you are not doing a burnout. You can hold the traction control toggle to disable the nanny by 90%, but it still kicks in with extreme scenarios (1 donut revolution usually triggers power cut). My only gripe is the lack of shifting within legal speeds... The gears are so tall, that 1st alone can hit about 50, 2nd goes to around 80, and 3rd tops out at the end of the quarter mile at 115. If you prefer to bang a lot of gears, Miata with 1:1 6th gear is a much better solution.

[@theletterj]

I ended up with the GT manual. Too much fun to pass up.

[@jjuhring1]

Great review, but I think you made the choice decision much more difficult than necessary. If you can only have one car and live north of the 40th parallel, you'll be happier year-round in the G70. Although the Mustang is a blast in warm-dry weather, I know from experience, once the temperature drops and it's wet most of the time, driving the mustang becomes an exercise in frustration as it has to be constantly babied. I switched to an Audi S4 2 years ago and am 100% happier for 6 months of the year, and only 10% less happy for the other 6 months. Then bought a used Miata for track days.

That G70 looks good, and I recently sold my luxury sport sedan for a 18 mustang GT. For me the way car’s are trending with electric, small displacement with turbos and all the sensors and such. I wanted an American V8 natural aspirated, rear wheel drive allowing me to really enjoy driving, as in the next 5-10 years not sure if that will still be available (Raptor is now V6TT, Ford GT is V6TT). Good review and I appreciate the comparison as I debated between those categories.

95% of people don't want to "fight" with their cars to get to work everyday and don't have enough money to have a daily and a toy car. Arguably, I think you guys had the worst colour combo on your G70 (grey on grey on black). I saw a red G70 3.3T Sport driven by a sophisticated looking Asian woman and it's literally the first time in my life where I stopped and I just stared at it as it went by. I work in a very fancy neighborhood in Montreal so I se dozens of $100k+ cars every day but there's something about the G70 that I really like. Maybe it's the fact that it's actually attainable, unlike all those $100k+ cars... Great review btw! Very enjoyable to watch

[@GoofieNewfie]

the gray with dark wheels doesn't do anything for this car. The Red, Blue, or White looks good in the G70 sport. The grey looks better in the non sport with the brighter chrome trim and polished wheels. That' being said I hate the yellow on the mustang, it's a bad shade of yellow, and I hate ANYTHING with stripes.

[@vladsaghin7644]

@@GoofieNewfie Agreed. The hipster part of me wants the G70 Sport in brown, green or dark blue but the rational me wants a non sport, black or dark blue G70 with the brown interior. I don't like dark finishes on the alloys so in my opinion, the 10 spoke alloys available on the Prestige trim would look better on the Sport trims than the 5 spokes. If they came out with a "normal" silver finish on the 5 spokes, it would look so much better with the darker colors

[@vladsaghin7644]

I don't see why reliability concerns you, it's made by the Hyundai/Kia group which is right up there in terms of reliability and is much better than any American or German brand and even some Japanese brands like Nissan. On top of that, you get free maintenance for 5 years or 100 000km and pretty much every one leases these kinds of cars for 4-5 years, so why would you care? Either way, it's not like it will break down after 4-5 years lol

The resale value is big for me but I tend to exit my cars every year or two and my Hyundai Genesis tanked worse than any of the last 10 cars I’ve lease /owned!!

[@keenanbock]

Few things they missed on the Mustang GT (Premium) that made it seem to give the Genesis an edge as a daily driver: - Comfort steering mode and quiet exhaust mode that make it easier to steer and quieter to drive. They make a big difference and quiet mode can even be scheduled for certain times so your neighbors don’t hate you. (See 12:15 for quiet mode on exhaust mode select screen but not mentioned) - The recaro seats (expensive option) are not heated and cooled but the regular leather seats on the Mustang GT are. The regular leather seats also have lumbar support adjustment. - Trunk space. The Mustang has a huge trunk and foldable back seats. 13.5 cubic feet vs 10.5 for the Genesis. - The back seats in the Mustang have just four inches less legroom than the Genesis. - Finally, they did not mention the snow/rain driving mode but mentioned every other one (track, drag, sport+ see 12:24). So the con of the Mustang in slippery conditions seems not so bad when that mode is an option. Disclaimer: I love my Mustang GT

[@LanguagesWithAndrew]

"Finally, they did not mention the snow/rain driving mode but mentioned every other one (track, drag, sport+ see 12:24). So the con of the Mustang in slippery conditions seems not so bad when that mode is an option." I'd really like to hear from some GT owners who have actually used that mode in the snow/rain about how well it really works. Anyone? Please?

[@keenanbock]

@@LanguagesWithAndrew The snow/rain mode increases how much you need to depress the accelerator to move. It prevents you from spinning out since the car has a lot of torque and it could be a problem if you have lead foot. However I never use it in the rain. It would only be useful for me on very slippery snow conditions in an emergency. But if it is that bad out, probably need four wheel drive anyway.

Another AWESOME Video- TY TY TY !!!! I just had the 3.3TT version for 2.5 days and the sun was shining with ZERO rain. I live in Vancouver & am a car guy. Here are the 3 negatives: (a) The back seat doesn't accommodate anyone over 5'9" for a journey lasting over 30 minutes. (b) The long term reliability and trade-in value is a HUGE question mark (c) the vectoring is brake applied to the inside wheel- Lots of grabbing going on during spirited driving. Now, onto the Positives - EVERYTHING ELSE!! This handles like a go cart (it is a Compact car) the steering wheel feels right, the turning radius is one of the best, It has 5 ride selections, the tech is in abundance, the seats can be sporty or comfy, that engine - torque & HP is ample (4.7 seconds from 0-60), the sight-lines are excellent, HUD displays whats needed, the adaptive cruise works really well, the 15 speaker Lexicon sound system is very good. I can go on and on. The summary is this- If you want a Value filled 4 door vehicle that looks great, has an AWESOME interior, is quick & fast when u want it to be, has the latest tech and your mother-in-law will like it too b/c in comfort mode it drives very smoothly then this is a big contender vs the Germans, Japanese and maybe Cadillac. Its an all in price for the 3.3TT V-6 of $57,500 Cdn. Book a test drive and see for yourself. Excellent compact 4 door sedan and if u enjoy assertive driving try the 3.3TT. Too much fun!! Also, the personal touch and customer service is a huge marketing advantage for them. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada!!
