2018 Ford Mustang | CarGurus Test Drive Review 

Damn. That magnetic color looks damn good. 51k on a Mustang is expensive though but its got the digital cluster and magneride suspension which I want.

Iconic car, such a beast!

This guy would be awesome at reviewing washer and dryers!!

10/10 for that Stranger Things reference

This gonna be the best used 2 door domestic in 2020

Fully loaded camry is almost $40.000 nowadays. What expensive for V-8 fully loaded sport car are you talking about?

Ford's moto for the Mustang used to be "Fast, Fun, and Affordable". That $51,000 price tag for a GT. Would make me immediately pay the extra $5,000+ for the GT-350. Mainly due to the depreciation. Standard run of the mill Mustangs don't hold their value at all. (Pretty much the second the tires leave the lot they drop in value by $8,000. The GT350 and the GT-350 R and the upcoming GT-500 will hold their value down the road much better than a Premium GT. (Or any other version)

How about test driving in real world conditions, stuck in traffic? Would you still pick a manual over auto?

This car is too good for you.

Horsepower is way more than what they claim if you put it on a dyno. With a 16 or 17 percent you are at 493 to 497 crank horsepower

I love the new 2018 Ford Mustang, but what I think would be even cooler if Ford would take the Mustang logo and put it on the hood similar to an AMG Mercedes-Benz. I think it would give it an even more unique look and make the grill look a lot cleaner!

Good Review. Love the sound of the new exhaust

Demogorgon from Upside Down - Awesome! I want this car BAD!

Hi cargurus, I'm one of thousands of guys that go to your website to day dream about buying cheap sports cars that are still way to expensive for me.

If your knee is resting on the door panel -or console for that matter, you’re not seated properly in relation to the pedals.

Great video, agree on the trany, but I give it a pass because it is designed to give you the best gas mileage possible, not necessarily according to your driving habits. I think the shift from 1st to 2nd is premature, and is not as smooth as you would think, other gears shifting are not even felt. I think I would experiment with a CVT, they great for me in other cars, smooth from start to finish, and adjust to your driving habits very nicely. But then again I drive like a normal person, I think! Got a 2020 same color and I like it but the seatbelts could be re-positioned to where it don't drive into your shoulder so hard. I had to get some devices to lift it up and away from my neck. Suspension is a little too stiff for me and I'm running 19 wheels from factory, I don't think I could stand the 20s. Ford have issues with some of the parts used in the Mustangs and some other Ecoboost cars, where the low pressure fuel sensor starts messing up, they should come forward and pay for that repair, I went to the dealer to verify the fault code my analyzes determined and it was right on the money, the freaking sensor was giving a fault, the thing is the cars engine runs fine, no issue at all, they quoted me 500 USD to replace it, I told them they should be in prison, 500 Bucks for a 5 minute job, that is why I think Ford should be replacing that cheap part they used in every Ecoboost engine, instead owners have to put up with this kind of crap from the dealers. Ford is dropping the ball big time! I think this will be the Ford I'll ever own.

Good review. That 10 speed auto would be expensive to fix I bet. I prefer the hood on my 15 vs the sloped down look. i like seeing the bulging hood while driving. I understand its not good for aero. Too bad the mustang’s price no longer makes it the working mans affordable muscle car imo. So yes buy used since these cars depreciate like rocks. A great car still ... just getting close to corvette pricing.

Dema from the upside down lmao

Plus a HUD is still missing

Car review editors always mention MSRP pricing. If you pay that when buying a Ford product, then you are not buying wisely. Most Fords have Factory, and dealer rebates and other incentives. There are exceptions like the GT350 and other special edition models that dealers will even mark up over MSRP! But for the most part, you can get pricing below MSRP significantly.

How many airbags??? What safety features? Abs brakes? Traction control?

Front end, inspired by Nissan 370z Nismo. I really want that new 370z Nismo too.

Wickedly. Must be from New England.

Interesting switch on the transmission recommendation between this and last year's California Special convertible review. On the CA convertible you recommended the old 6 speed auto. I'm wondering if that is because that car is more of a "cruiser" and this one is held to a higher performance standard.

i have 14 tracpac and don't want to give up my solid rear axle

the last real mustang that required you to drive it and not it driving itself was the s197, in fact for me, the s197 is last mustang

For 51K I would buy a gently used GT350

love the mustang logo but dont like it in the middle of the grill, just saying

His complaint about the transmission not down shifting when he wanted it to is absolutely ridiculous. If you want it to down shift you have to pull the down shift paddle. That's exactly why the paddles are there. That's like complaining that a manual transmission won't shift for you...

Drive test one youll see why its woth 50,000..its great car..fast and nimble..aster than scatpack challenger..0 to 60mph..

Ford says that it goes 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, since I am really lazy and I won’t find an empty backroad I am gonna take their word for it...

I can never get over how expensive these cars are.

So how much does the V8 model cost with stick shift and a LSD?

I only like the mustang convertible

Cupholder is still in the way of my right elbow for a manual transmission.

This is why you buy a used 3 year old mustang GT and save 20K.

The auto trans didn't downshift when you braked into a corner? Whaaaaaaaaat!!!!!

Are you reviewing a mustang or a kia??

Ford made the front of this car look more like my mom ex station wagon from the 60s and 70s. Upgrade the technology but keep the car looking like a muscle car rather than a space mobile

did they trash that lousy transmission t-82 in the 18 ??

It’s a catfish, the one before was a hammerhead shatrt

Not judging, but why buy an auto 5.0?

Nice car but not for $51,000

$51,000 US??? That's ..ummm...remarkable

An automatic doesn’t read minds it reads sensors in the vehicle and can’t respond to ever nuance that it encounters thats why there’s paddle shifters for spirited driving as a reviewer you should know that, in manuals you also miss gears so whats the difference I know because all I drive are Manuals currently own a 2017 2SS manual, the same thing happens in any auto car no matter the price there are limitations to all automatics my next car will be an automatic I love the new ten speeds.

He is wrong about a number of things. You can disable EVERY nanny while driving with a button or toggle switch.

Dam no more v6

Something is seriously wrong with the world, there’s so much corporate greed. The Mustang was always supposed to be an affordable sports car, that was the origin of its design. I have a 2006 Mustang GT Premium that cost me $30,000 out the door in 2006. Now this new one is $51,000, that’s a 70% price increase. I guess in that amount of time again the new GT will be selling for $87,000. People’s salaries are not even increasing enough to keep up with these ludicrous price increases which span more than just the automotive sector.

Yawn. Anyone from MT or C&D as well as a dozen YTers would have tested that 0-60 no problem.

Dude, great review, but like all things new, you have to use and learn. The 10 speed is a marvel of technology, but you have to learn to use it. In other words, your assessment of Ford's 10 speed auto is menial at best.

This guy is boring me to death...

$52k? lmao

It is a really nice car, but at almost 52K I would take a low mile Challenger Hellcat any day over it. I do like the new styling of the GT,s front end and its a good-looking ride, but the lines and sinister old school hot looks of the Mopar together with all that incredible power just does it for me. When Hellcat was released in 2014, it singlehandedly set the standard and was the #1 car in the land. Lol so if that wasn't enough Dodge does one better and recently released Demon, I'm sure its giving the engineers at GM and Ford fits lol.

Visually, I can't tell that the front changed at all.

52k mustang gt?! Damn

Should have taken out the 6 spd. Yikes.

Stick shift option is a bit cheaper. I’ll stick to my current mustang.

Hammerhead shark . Ford were losing our pony!!!!!

Ugg! I hate it when ppl vlog, drive and look at the camera. You don't have to look at the dang camera. Simple fix, point the camera down the road or stick it out the car or better yet, stick it on your head. Drive first, look at the camera never.

This car isn’t really all that expensive seeing you get a 460 hp v8 + fully loaded car lol

51k - $20,000 + 0% finance + $10,000 off for showing up to ford And plastic interior With belts that snap every 10k Miles + 57 gears you will only feel lag while looking like a limp bizcut fan who got a settlement

Catfish front end...

Even fully equipped its price is amazingly low.

you need to learn how a automatic transmission works.. 😂.. First of all you need to understand and feel the transmission when you driving the car

So all the changes but yet another fail on safety. A new hero car in 2018 that is not 5 Star??????? I guess it is a bit like Monty python “Dont mention the war” when it comes to ANCAP safety.

51,000 for a mustang and over 70,000 or a expedition!? No way!!

First time I see you in a 2 door car

Interior materials is wack

I really don't like its design

So they basically playing catch up with chevy camaro ss

too expensive

2004 is better

Way overpriced for a Ford Mustang.

Automatic = Boring

Looks horrible

I'm Not a Ford Guy and it takes so Much $$$$ to Compare to any Camaro for less you get More in the Camaro... I'm a Chevy Guy!

Hot garbage for 50 grand plus..Lol gtfoh
