I always wanted a 6 speed mustang GT. After 16 years of wanting I found out even with the seat all the way up I can't reach the clutch. It's still way more fun to drive than a fusion.
It's funny, most people end up settling on on the 2.3 T. Here I am looking for used. And I was seeking out the 2.3 T. Just something special about seeing a return of the 4 cylinder turbo since the SVO. When people say the 4 cylinder doesnt have heritage, they dont know their Mustangs. As much beauty as there is in the rumble of the v8. Theres something to be said the whistle you get with that twin scroll. 2 different feels. I'm happy I got what I wanted and didnt have to settle.
It's a well known fact that every glove box in an American vehicle is always large enough to fit your 1911 and 2 extra magazines lmao. But no really it's a sports coupe. In my opinion it's the best line of mustangs to come out in the last 40 years
I just bought this car yesterday and im in love with it. I dont have a lot of knowledge about sports cars but i dont really mind. All my hard work was worth it 👌
@Frankie Hdez I might be buying mine this weekend if I get a good deal on it so far how does your mustang Drive Any Issues so far?? Thats my main concern about the car but it I looks great on the inside and out
Just bought one in electric blue! Thanks for showing me the features, the compartment to the left of the steering wheel you said was for change is actually for a pair of sun glasses 😎
@@ian2183 Well.. first: Space in European cities, especially in old towns is really limited. The streets are narrow. In some cities you have a really hard time even with a "normal sized" compact car (like a Ford Focus). Trucks sometimes only fit in the streets when they use both lanes. So using a pickup truck for example and expecting to go into a city is ... optimistic. Also you won't fit on ANY parking lot (as they are sized for compact cars maximum). Random Street in Strasburg, France: www.google.fr/maps/@48.5905162,7.7522794,3a,60y,157.52h,83.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDQZxW3BFuoJ4qZFgoGnXkQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=de&authuser=0 Second: the heavy taxation on CO2 Emissions demand smaller cars. Big cars are a real luxury in some countries. As of 2020 even the EcoBoost Mustang costs an extra 20000€ economy tax in France when you first register the car. That's why we have such atrocities like a family van with 90 horsepower.... 🤦♂️
@@ian2183 yeah have thought about it but Europe isn't that bad compared to somewhere else, especially in terms of social security and healthcare. Idk. :) For cars only Germany I think is the last country in the EU where you can get away with driving a big car. ;)
I don't know a hell of a whole lot about muscle cars but I do know what I like and I like the look of those types of cars, as long as the thing is 300+ horsepower I'm fine.
But you are looking at the car in a different way, you may enjoy the technological goodies inside. A car like this is meant for driving, in fact I prefer smaller screens, we shouldn't have to rely on technology to help us drive. That is just my opinion. If you are buying one, get what YOU want, you're the one that has to drive it! This also is a base model mustang, meant for the people that just want to get into the mustang name and have a "sports" car. I understand completely why a base model does not come with a big screen
@@jacob3942videos I just got a 2017. Used. I'm so in love with it. At first I was disappointed I couldn't find an EcoBoost premium in my area, in a color I liked, or with a good carfax or a good price. When I found one that I loved. I noticed it was just the EcoBoost fastback. I'll say the only thing I wish I had was some of the dumb little things. Like the aluminum toggle switches, or the interior lighting hahaha. But display hasn't bothered me at all. In fact I like it better. It makes me feel like I'm in the cockpit. With the number pad, it almost gives it a vintage, but modern feel. Also looks more interesting to the eye. I find myself never using the back up camera in any car anyway. I back into every parking spot I can. And I've done that for years, so I'm very good at just using my mirrors. Never the less, we all complain about what we dont have. My friend had a convertible EcoBoost. He inspired me to get mine, even tho he had to trade his in. I asked him about what I should get. He said this "Man. Plenty of days I wish I had a hardtop. Plenty of days you'll wish u had gotten the convertible. Just get something you want, and you like. Because, we always wish for what we dont have." Excellent advice. And now I'm totally in love. 👌
To be honest I would go for the base model, If this is a car you are using for a fun weekend car then I would save the money and go with the base model. The two models are very identical. The premium model is more something you would buy for a Daily Driver, it comes with sync 3, upgraded audio, leather, and has many more things you can option on than just the base model, but if you are looking for a car simply to drive, not wanting any of the fancy touch screens and buttons, the base model is definitely where it's at, but that is my preference, it all depends on if you want to spend more for all the bells and whistles, or you simply want a car that is decently quick, handles well, and is purely meant for driving. For me this would be a secondary car so all the creature comforts would be on my daily driver and this would simply be a nice basic car that I want for driving in the nice weather. If you would like anymore help feel free to continue the thread.
I suggest the performance pack with a standard tranny, add the Ford SVT tune. If you live in a hot or cold climate I would look at the Premium package just for the heated/cooled seats which Ford does very well
I would recommend EcoBoost premium ! You would never understand the advantage of 9 speaker system, use of heating and cooled seats, leather seats, 8" screen, and especially toggle switches if you don't use premium. I was the same guy unable to decide b/w base & premium and ended up buying premium. I never regret it !
Premium, I went back and forth with the Premium or performance or just base 5.0. In the end I got the EcoBoost you can do so much to it its insane. the 2017 sounds way better in the cabin then the 2016 to my ear, I miss that V8 tone but I got over it pretty quick. the performance pack is the premium with just a few additions they didn't have any when I got mine so I opened for the premium only regret the 3.55 gears, for the 3.31 but thats easily fixed.
true only thing worrying me is the Mustang in the snow, I live in Massachusetts and we get a few snow storms and I feel like the Mustang won't be the best option
Austin Correia no it would not be the best for snow storms, but I think if you throw a pair of good snow tires on it and put some weight in the back and drive it reasonably a few inches won't hurt.
Yeah I understand, just messing around! Unfortunately these cars I'm reviewing are not mine, or I'd be keeping up with traffic! It's more of a humor thing trying to poke fun at how slow cars are passing!
I’m sorry but who cares if you’re getting passed? They were probably speeding lol. This car seems really nice. I just get the vibe that you didn’t really like it. Lol
"Car honk when I leave"......i hate that feature..letting my neighbours know I am home at 11pm.. Not good....i also hate my 2009 Sienna with the beat beat sound of alarm evertime
this, also GT350 GT350R not 500, start/stop tech sucks and will eventually kill someone if it hasn't already, I think the auto is slightly faster 0-60 but with the light 2.3 liter this becomes a fantastic handling car if you spring for the performance pack and should be bought with the stick, if you can drive one. Add snow tires and the car will be fine for winter driving, many are driven all winter here in AK there is a performance tune available from the dealer that adds some serious boost to the stock 2.3 and is fully warranteed for some $750
I am looking at getting the Ford Performance tune. There is also a cost to have it added as well. comes wit the CAI thats in the GT350, tuner and tune, but has to be done by FORD for them honor the warranty. I think the EcoBoost is suer fun. I for the 17 eco premium with the 3.31 gears Oped out of the performance because its exactly the same car - the brake calipers and 3.55 gears.
Literally before the 5.0 came out in 2011 the mustang gts from like 95 all the way to 2010 all made around 300 hp. That’s over a decade of v8 powered muscle cars that all came stock with around the same power as the mustang ecoboost 💀….let that sink in
It 2017 model year. just because built in 2016 does not mean it not 2017 model year. ford do that. ford release 2017 model year toward middle/end of 2016. 2018 will be same thing.
You do realize that Ford is planning to dump the V8 in 2020 for a hybrid setup. Not sure if it will be 4 or 6 cyl. but the V8 days are definitely numbered.
