RE: Ford announces Mustang pricing
Discussion
Has anyone else driven one yet?
This is mine (until midnight, UK time):
OK, this is a rental-spec 3.7 V6, so some things will be very different in the UK.
Good: it's quite easy to manage, and doesn't feel like a particularly big car. There's plenty of pep as long as the car's in the right gear. It looks great. Grip is limitless at normal traffic speeds and the ride is extremely good. It's a very useable car and feels much more complete than the previous-gen Mustang, and more confidence inspiring than the Camaro.
Bad: In drive, it wants to go up to eleventieth gear and then bogs down trying to catch up. The EcoBoost and V8 will probably do better in this respect anyway, and with a manual I'm sure even the V6 would be fine. Sports mode Fuel economy is about 20 mpg US, 24 mpg UK, but we won't be getting this engine. The UK car may have different steering setup, but the steering lacks feel (especially around the straight ahead) for an apparently sporty car.
