2018 GT here. Had it 10 months and put on 7500 miles with absolutely no issues. Only car I have ever bought new and one of a few cars I've always wanted since being a kid. 
That looks lovely, is that Kona Blue?croyde said:
As you are an owner of a '18, may I ask, do the triple front drls work unlike on the '16/17?
I can confirm that they do.mac96 said:
Just reached 2 years and 17000miles; nothing in the interior has broken, stopped working or fallen off. I have found the plastic is easier to scratch than in previous car (a Mazda), but that is just a question of taking care.
Did you see the pic of my 16 and just below the 18, did not like the 18 at first !

I had a deposit down for a GT when they were announced, but later swapped it for a Mk3 Focus RS which I've now had for nearly 3 years. Did I make a mistake?
Still love the look of the Mustang - just fear it's too big for British roads and the odd commute...
It's no bigger than a 6 series or even a Mondeo. Still love the look of the Mustang - just fear it's too big for British roads and the odd commute...
I did commute through London in a Mercury Grand Marquis. Now that was big

Having driven in US many times, never thought it was big. After much research, black with black wheels,auto and every toy available. Took the train to Hull and bought it there and then. Driving 200 miles home, no problem, closer to home down to single lanes it is big ! According to my nerdy car mag it is wider than a Bentley continental, the BM 6 and the mondeo, my convertible defender is smaller. Still love it to bits though and really looking forward to the 18 convertibles to come down a bit, maybe a year from now. I did commute through London in a Mercury Grand Marquis. Now that was big

After three days of ownership I am now looking at making it just a little louder. Any thoughts? By the way, love it.
Thoughts ? A good idea! I haven't done it yet but probably will...Lots of options out there- as a starter, loads of videos here:

I've had my Mustang since April and have done 14k. Prior to that I had a Fiesta ST and prior to that a MK3 RS. Still love the look of the Mustang - just fear it's too big for British roads and the odd commute...
In my opinion you didn't make a mistake. The Mustang is great but if I had the choice, I would still be in the RS.
[quote=shep1001]Take a trip to TVR Power in Coventry & get Dom to take you out in his 'stang that he has fitted with a Whipple supercharger kit. It's insane, you will be scared.
It will also sort that fuel economy out for you far too high at the moment

It’s Dom’s power? Nit picking I know. Have they jumped ship in preparation for the new TVR having a ford lump?

Diversification I guess. Doms rebuilds are pretty bullet proof so limited repeat business from the TVR community. The new TVR if it is not stillborn would be prime for tuning but there is also the Ford market too. 700bhp is insane It will also sort that fuel economy out for you far too high at the moment
