2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt Review - Is Steve McQueen Still Relevant? 

What do you think of the Bullitt? Worth it over the Mustang GT?

Yuri was looking hella depressed during that initial launch, someone get this man a yellow prowler already

Yuri, Steve McQueen was the poster boy for coolness. He was the real deal. Not just an actor, but a legit racer. And without traction control, anti-lock, etc. etc. Open your mind to understand and appreciate history and the people who were products of their times.

You are car guys, watch the entire movie lol. Steve McQueen is a Legend. Lot's of interesting facts about that movie too. Like Steve McQueen did a lot of his own driving (until he crashed and his wife begged the director to get a stunt driver) which pissed McQueen off. The reverse burn out shot that you guys replicated wasn't scripted. That chase scene set the bar for future car chases too.

Haha thanks for the mention guys! Great review! Shorter gears would be fun, I just wring out first and second a lot lol. Still loving my Bullitt! 😁

I'm 25 and I'v seen Bullitt several times haha. Steve McQueen is an absolute legend

You youngsters don't know cool if you don't know McQueen! He basically went airborne in that Mustang over the streets of San Francisco and invented the exciting car chase single handed. But, back to the review...

The Bullitt is definitely a cooler car than the Mustang GT Steve McQueen is a legend!

Steve McQueen is a legend. My 13yr old son loved that car chase scene. You guys are off your rocker

I drove one a couple months ago. I loved it! The sound of that engine! I couldn't get enough of it, but I had to give the keys back to its owner before I started hating my CX5. This car looks much, much better in person, though. The camera doesn't do it justice.

Also showing the revs on screen while showing us the sound is an appreciated touch

Great actor, car collector and racer(two and four wheels) Who's cooler than Steve McQueen? NOBODY!

The Bullitt Mustang will hold its value better than the Bumblebee Camaro, due to its decades-long pseudo history and movie cache.

You guys lost me at not knowing Bullitt or Steve McQueen...and you review cars?

Bullitt has one of the best and longest car chase scenes ever filmed. Watch it!!!

You’ve only seen clips of the movie but know it’s not for you... Do yourselves a favour and watch the entire movie. You’re car guys. It’s your duty.

I love you guys, but don't EVER mention Nick Cage and Steve McQueen in the same breath again. Just saying.

Two years on, these have held the values thanks to them effectively being quick orders with all options for GT Mustangs. People know when they get a Bullitt of this generation, they aren't missing out on any options. As such, values seem to be strong. At least in Canada where they came loaded.....

Not a movie for our generation? I’m 32 and it’s great! Yes it’s slow at the beginning but it’s iconic and this movie is why chase scenes are the way they are.

Drove a Mustang convertible from SF to Vegas as a graduation present. Best drive ever!!!

Steve McQueen will ALWAYS be relevant. Beautiful car by the way

I am happy to be an owner of a 2019 bullitt. Always get compliments. The sound is awesome. Goes like hell.

I love you guys ; so I will try to ignore that question. The King of Cool will ALWAYS be relevant!

I was able to see the 2019 Bullitt in person last June at the ford headquarters just sitting in an employee lot, felt really cool because it was just before all the press releases came out.

I actually got a ride from Matt Maran in his bullitt and his biggest complaint was the gearing as well. We could literally do 70mph is second gear. It was crazy...but it does sound AMAZING!!

Man I was really looking forward to this review, but you guys didn't seem nearly as excited as I was expecting from you guys 😩

How's such a quality channel so underrated with only half a million subscribers.... top quality videos guys 👍✌

I've owned a black Bullitt for 3 months now that I got mainly for the magneride. I have to say the best compliment i got was it looks like a car James Bond would drive. It's my first car over 200 HP and my first car with a manual. I have to say I love this car. Haven't gotten around to learning how to heal toe though...

Saw one yesterday, it actually looks great, and that green is absolutely stunning!

Guys, there are movies that you have to watch, even if they didn't age all that well. They're classics, they remind us where we came from. Also, Yuri, if Steve doesn't do it for you, then my friend, I just don't... J/k I'm not really surprised, but I think you should read a bit on the guy before you have an opinion. He didn't become a generational icon by sucking lol. The real question is Steve McQueen or Paul Newman.

It’s a fantastic movie, Steve mcqueen, robert vaughn, rober duvall. You guys are missing it

Absolutely loving the videos amazing content you guys are doing keep the good work up

Steve McQueen was the essence of cool. Tag Heuer made a watch in his honor. I’m not a muscle car guy but I would buy this car.

NICE guys as always. Not a ford or 'stang fan but Matt sure likes his.

Sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes waiting for this, can't poop without the Tuesday review! Also yes the convertible passed the visor test.

I was really excited for this review, since everyone hypes it up. But now I’m glad y’all set it straight!

I just saw 2 RU-vid pages post reviews for the Subaru Outback 2020 today! I hope there's one coming from you guys soon. You 2 are my favorite car review channel :) I love the format, very entertaining

Watching clips gives you NOTHING about "Bullitt", Jakob and Yuri. The opening credits were really impressive, especially for 1968. It's a pretty tight police procedural, with a classic car chase. The Henry Mancini(him, right?) score was awesome as well. Watch the movie, boys.

Just watch the damn movie. With the week pun's guy. Don't ever compare nick to Steve McQueen

I road in my buddies bullitt today and high up in the rpms it feels like your floating it’s amazing

I just bought a 2019 Bullitt, Highland green. Been driving 60's muscle cars my whole life. Gonna do a several state tour this coming spring, see old friends, bucket stuff. Old skool car guy here. Am being fast fwd into future, this car is amazing from where I just came from. Were gonna have ALOT of fun now !

Not a Mustang fan, or even those wheels, but that's the perfect rim to tire ratio. Hate all these massive saucer wheels with rubber band tires.

grats on getting the sponsorship and I appreciate that it's car related!

Put your tech down and watch the movie in full; the car chase is a thing of beauty. Gone in 60 seconds is another good car chase movie, but not as good as Bullitt. As far as it relates to current generation, meh, younger gen X and all of gen Y will have trouble relating to Bullitt, especially if you're not a car guy/gal. It should be noted the majority of people buying these cars are boomers or older gen x-ers anyways, so it still resonates with them. On the traction control thing, people need to learn how to drive; turn off the nannies, and hit a track day or two. If you can afford a mustang GT, you can afford track days. The chassis in this car is so much better than the high horsepower stuff I used to drive, not to mention tire technology has improved significantly; cars are real easy to drive today, and I'm not even that old.

As MCM would say, why does the back seat have a gooch?

Are you kidding? The movie "Bullitt" starring Steve Mcqueen was a badass movie, mainly because of the car chase scenes filmed in San Francisco. Yeah, it was ahead of your time.

how is it that I'm only 16 and I still love the simplicity of older movies/tv shows and appreciate how iconic bullitt is and what it did for the car world. Steve McQueen is a legend there will never be another person as influential in the car and movie world as him. He was a world class race driver and an iconic movie star. The bullitt mustang is one car i want to be able to own at one point in my life. i recommend you all watch the movie, even if it seems boring at first, just keep watching. i still love the newer movies like f&f (never watched gone in 60 sec or transformers) but there is something nostalgic about watching steve mcqueen chase the guy in the charger through the streets of San Francisco. trust me you wont regret it

Another outstanding review. Subscribed and hit that bell a while ago. You guys are my go to.

Note: MagneRide is NOT standard in the US market. It's a 1695 option but it's 100% worth it if it's similar to the Camaro SS one. Great stuff guys!

Yuri is right. From the time i saw this review i was like hey, thats Matt's car

Seeing what music they put on the radio in the cars always makes me happy

always love your videos straight pipes

“Nicholas Cage over Steve McQueen” I weep for humanity

Exhaust sounds so deep, my room jiggles.

You guys do such a great job!

Biggest value to me was how stealth the car looks and the performance. The Bullitt is just a bonus. Oh and the sound!

Saw one of these the other day, the green is pretty amazing. Also love the debadged look, haven't driven one tho so idk if it actually feels better at the wheel

Let me explain.... It wasn’t so much about the movie but more about the cars in the movie. The Mustang in the movie was a 68 Mustang GT 390FE big block and top loader 4 spd, it was the muscle car that the everyday guy could afford and wanted badly and in a drag race it could smoke any small block Shelby Mustang. As automotive reviewers you should really brush up on your car knowledge.

Low key feel like they don't want to make videos together anymore. You guys make awesome content. #TheStraightPipes are in my top 5 car reviewers, For sure!

great vide guys!! always love your contents!!

THANK GOD YOU GUYS ARE BACK! Last video was very underwhelming in terms of your energy, excitement, enthusiasm

Poor North Americans. On the Autobahn, one can go through all the gears with all the sound and all the fun legally. 🤓

Love the way you make these videos ❤❤💖

Best Tuesday Review ever! Why? Because Yuri and Jakob reviewed the Bullitt!

Nic Cage Gone in 60 is a junk movie compared to the original. Real car accidents, live traffic. Recorded in 1 take. Steve McQueen invented the Cool that Nic Cage attempts to occupy.

A car reviewer who has not seen Bullitt is like a hockey player who has not seen Slapshot. SACRELIGIOUS!!!

No brained for me. My dad was a mustang guy all his life. He had 2 mustangs that were track ready and raced them often. He owned the first 1969 mustang fast back made in Germany. The car was purchased brand new by someone in the service that was based there. He had it shipped back to the states when he returned home. My dad was the 3rd owner. The name Mustang is German and the first line of mustangs were built in Germany. Thanks for the review on the new Bullit. My dad would’ve loved too have seen it. He passed away 4 years ago. Thanks again. Have a phenomenal day!

I love that you guys live in Ontario too, hope to meet you guys some day :) I never knew Kijiji had a seperate autos app, dlding it rn!

Looks like Hopper from Stranger Things “borrowed” Yuri’s shirt.

What makes this movie more iconic over all the others is how big it resonated to the car enthusiast as well as the general public at the time it came out and how long it held its status. You just don't get this with movies of today. Sure there are better car chases now, or more explosions etc now. But when Bullett came out, it set a benchmark for its time with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Steve McQueen was the king of cool who never lost that image, as well he was a real race driver who just resonated with car enthusiasts. Nicolas Cage doesn't have the same weight today that Steve McQueen had back in his day. Most movies and car chases of today even if they are really good, seem to be more of a flavour of the month because they were done before. Kind of like Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, are there better martial arts fight scenes since that movie came out, yes, but none may be more iconic because when he did it, how iconic he became and how there had never been anything like it before. Will people talk about Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicolas Cage after almost 60 yrs?

I just saw one of these on display at Laguna Seca during world Superbikes. Liked it more than the GT500 since it was a manual.

I love StraightPipes. Yuri’s face when trying to send it? Oh man. Disappointment and then some

Great vids, could you do a review on the 6th gen zl1 or zl1 1le, finish off the "muscle" car trifecta

I saw the movie Bullitt when I was in my late teens, and there was nothing like it at the time. Today's movie goers are too used to CGI where nothing is really plausible and it gets really boring seeing the same excessively over the top crap. Just as I cannot sit through over the top CGI effects in movies today, I understand the current generation's thinking about real action movies with no CGI are boring to them. Each to their own. I still remember how good (unhealthy) hamburgers were made years ago compared to the modern-day mush version. You don't know what you don't know.

Just a suggestion. Maybe when mentioning a sponsor, you could say if it excludes a region or if it's for a specific region. Would be a cool idea since no one ever does.

Love your take on the new generation of muscle cars. This car reminds me of Knight Rider except, no voice from the car.

I love the look of the Bullitt! Great appearance package and performance upgrades together. Why did they make the gears so long tho? Still too much hard plastic inside also for a $50k car

Ok but Bullitt is a minor masterpiece and you guys should definitely watch it in full.

Can't wait for the next visor test :)

Uri’s face when you floored it at the beginning is hilarious.

Nicolas Cage over Steve McQueen... The world has gone the dodo way.

You haven’t watched Bullitt? Your comments are void, sorry that’s just how it works. 😎

Great vid as always you two! (Btw, the 2018 mustang gt convertible did pass the visor test)

Steve Mcqueen is and forever will be the king of cool!

It sounds amazing

I’m still waiting for the car to shift in the beginning 😂

Yes the bullit! I think to hold its value, they should not be mass produced . As you said , not everyone is connected with car legend so it has to be a limited edition. I love the original Bullit but my favorite Mustang has always been Eleanor. Nice review guys!

awesome video! I still miss the mustang badge

I am younger than you guys and the name steve McQueen holds some weight to me🤷‍♂️

Is Steve McQueen still relevant? Answer even if he isn't he is awesome and this car is fucking awesome and wouldn't be here if if wasn't for Steve

I sat in my car with Bluetooth on while you drove this…. It sounds SO GOOD.

Yuri and Jakub are the kind of guys who visor test a cardboard box. 😂 Love the vids. Keep it up.

I could not make the choice between, The Mustang, Camaro or the Challenger.... I am starting to lean more Mustang.

C'mon guys. You've never seen the original Bullit movie ?? Best car chase scene EVER !!

I’ve got one on order I can’t wait. That sound is just amazing

Hahaha the look on you're guys faces during the opening launch hahahaha. Could totally tell you were in a much faster car prior. But none the less, excellent review gentleman.

Bullitt Mustang something about it looks better than the Camaro. Sight lines seem to be better.

Soooo low-key this is a hellcat review lol I love it

Excellent and entertaining review. I think I like the pre-face lifted version of this generation Mustang slightly better, but the Bullitt package is gorgeous. I do believe they are holding their value a little better as well over similar GT speced versions.

Green is definitely the to go for the MyColour! That's the colour I set the MyColour to in my Focus Titanium.
