Excellent video, James! Your praise and criticisms for this car are accurate. I have a ’21 GT Premium convertible w/10AT, 401A pkg, leather interior, B&O sound with 12 spks and subwoofer but no magneride and no performance pkg. I absolutely love it, but you’re right to point out that it’s not an AMG because it’s not SUPPOSED to be an AMG. For $50k, it does everything it’s supposed to do very well! The AT that I got (so I could have ACC) is good but a little slow-shifting in spots. I’ve learned to adapt my acceleration to hit the sweet spot on gear changes. I didn’t get the performance options because I’m not taking it on the track or drag strip. I use it for road trips. After all, the GT stands for “gran turismo” (grand touring) so I use it for touring the beautiful USA. Nevertheless, the exhaust system does produce just the right amount of obnoxiousness. :-)
Slow shifting? What spots are those because I've had many sports cars and unless you get a dct that transmission shifts faster than most. You guys do realize that there are different drive modes right? And that it will shift faster depending on what mode you're in. This kid is driving around using paddle shifters doing 20-30mph and trying to upshift without being on the gas pedal. Most standards don't e even like that.
Awesome review Jim. I'm a Corvette guy and I've owned quite a few, especially the C7's. Your review was my deciding factor to go drive one and my wife and I did. We ended up buying a loaded up Twister Orange with the 10-spd. It's virtually the same thing as the 10-spd in my 19 ZL1 convertible. The Mustang won't be in for another 8 weeks as we ordered it how we wanted. Thanks for the great review !
I was wondering if I should pick a convertible, and you mentioning how nice it is to hear the exhaust with the top down has set my opinion to go with the convertible. Also, really great production quality and overall atmosphere. Thanks for the review!
You're missing out on capabilities of this car. The handling on windy mountain roads, canyon roads, twisty switch-backs, VERY comparable to the SUPERB handling characteristics of a BMW 3-series. Very buttoned down, very connected. I took a standard turbo 4 convertible to the back roads of Pennsylvania, AND THE HANDLING COMPARED VERY WELL to my 2011 BMW 3-series. The latest Mustangs are excellent handling cars, without question.
I really luuuuv this car, I wish Ford could have more options on the interior colours tho, the traditional black seats are boring, you can't have almost every colour with black seats.
I would definitely opt for the manual...BUT that 10R80 is objectively better built and demonstrably faster. The MT-82 is notorious for shift fork failure and gear lockouts. Ford obviously couldn't fit in a Tremec manual at the GT price point.
Hey James, Very nice videos of your channel. Good and neat work. I am in the dilemma of considering if i should go with a 2019 GT convertible or Coupe. I am staying in UAE. My concerns are the 8months of heat + dust. If the rag top is cleanable, will it fade and all. It would be great if u could give me some suggestion with respect to it. Thanks in Advance Rohit
Just bought a gt convertible unfortunately here in Australia they don’t come in a manual as I wanted one but hell I’m gonna have me some fun anyways , great vid👍
First of all..if you purchase a V8 you don’t care about costs especially gas...anyhow..it’s okay..I pay between 45-50 dollar for a full tank..it holds for 300-400 miles depending how you drive
Nothing abnormal/noticeable. I have one and I also had a 2012 convertible-both are fine. I like this top so much better than my 2012. It is sturdier and opens/closes faster.
Hi! Is the exhaust we hear in the video stock V8 or is it the active exhaust we hear in sport? I’m asking as I don’t own one and want to rent one and wondering if it would sound like this? Thanks so much!
It's fantastic. And thanks for the excellent video. I've had my current Mustang for 13 years, lol. Buying a new one. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Here's a little hint. If you make a good video on topics I'm interested in I will automatically subscribe. If I have to hear a whole add about liking and smashing before you get to the video there is literally no chance I will consider it!
I own a 2016 Ecoboost Mustang Convertible. I'm upgrading to this next year. It's great on the twisties. Even much better than my 2012 Camaro SS which is a heavy beast and you can tell in the curves.
