1:33 Those blacked-out circular bits are receptacles for a grille-mounted fog lights of your choice, a throwback to the original '69 Mustang Mach 1 with its distinctive grille-mounted round lights. It was meant for you to add it as an aftermarket modification. EDIT: Upon research, the 1969 Mustang Mach 1's "inboard" grille lights are actually separate high beams as the comments suggested (compared to the 1970 Mach 1 with combined low & high beam headlights mounted in the grille where the '69 Mach 1's high beams once where, and "sport lights" as compliments). Ford probably decided to make it into fog lights simply because there's no need for separate high beams in 2022, while paying homage to the '69 Mach 1's distinctive front end design. It could also be turbo intakes/air ducts if the owner wants to, hence the aftermarket approach by Ford. That'll be cool to see.
During the 0-60 mph trial, anyone who drives a manual gearbox can easily get that Mat has been releasing the clutch quicker than it is supposed to. So the time was getting better not because the rear tires were warming up but Mat was getting used to the clutch. There is no shame in that though. We all have converted to automatic cars over the past years and it is sort of confusing for all of us from time to time. So Mustang being Mustang, a great-looking car with a naturally aspirated engine. Yes, there are better-performing cars but Mustang will always be the dream car for most of us.
These circles at the front grille are spots to install round fog lights of your choice (as an homage to the original Mustang Mach 1 from 1969). Greetings✌️
The reason for the mode switches only toggling upwards is a safety feature. You could easily either by your hand or dropping something during driving accidently land on the toggle and push it down changing modes which is not helpful or safe when in mid drive. Therefore they only toggle upwards. There could be better ways of doing it (lock mode when car is not idle) but still, it's fine.
Are you insulting the Golf R??? That's exactly the issue with that car, with its haptic feedback touch controls on the steering wheel, that every time you go to tackle an aggressive turn, you change modes. HAHAHAHA. Perfectly good car, COMPLETELY RUINED!
A classic Mustang, the real "Pony" car. I was 9 years old when the original Mustang was introduced, so it's been around my whole life and I'm glad to see it still produced (unlike the sad demise of another Ford, the Thunderbird). Just a comment, while Ford spent some time and money to produce attractive rear seats on the Mustang, they have NEVER provided practical seating for adult passengers. I had a Mustang for a while in college and used the backseat mainly for carrying luggage and packages. It's really meant to function as a two-seater personal sports car (though the closest most here in the States come to a raceway is an Interstate Highway); most only see use around town or on state highways.
Luckily, the standard GT is available with a 6 speed manual here in Australia. Sat Nav and radar cruise are standard. I drive mine in the city and urban. You can use 3rd gear much of the time because its so flexible. Its not perfect of course, but its a lot of bang for the $.
@@tundaslug07 I'm aware of manual cars with conventional cruise control, but this dude says it was adaptive on his manual mustang? I just don't see how that would work.
I have a GT and the best way to get a better turning circle is to fully lock and push the acceleration quote aggressively and it swings the backend round nicely. 😉 It has great throttle control.

ford still holds the title for "budget" power when it comes to delivery to the road, and their chassis is getting pretty darn respectable too. Magnaride should always be a checked option, and when it is these are a very fun force to be reckoned with. Rear end is due for a slight redesign/update though.
I agree with the Magnaride. Some say it's too expensive too replace but if you don't feel like it's worth it anymore, just throw standard suspension on it. It's too awesome not to have though.
Middle console: Only reason why bottle was in the way (6:50) is your RHD (Right had drive) version of car. As production have to be cheaper they have just one design for console in car. In LHD ( Left hand drive) you will have next to you hand brake and then cup holder .. so gear shifter will be free for catch(maybe not exactly free but easier to catch).
Great review. For the money the Mustang is an amazing performance vs value proposition. The fact a 6 speed manual is available is a big plus for me. It is definitely on the short list for my next RWD car with a manual. BTW this Mach 1 definitely needed a hood scoop or shaker hood.
It is a very well sorted out Mustang. It has some of the really good bits from the GT350 and GT500, making it the best version of the Mustang GT yet. I would be quite happy with one in that jet fighter grey or maybe in orange.
@@narendrans7191 The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is indeed an amazing machine. It still baffles me that Alfa Romeo has not optioned it with manual. A 3 pedal, 6-speed manual in a Giulia Quadifoglio would be the chef's kiss.
I booked a V8 GT 2022. 😍 Lovely review Mat! These cars are stunning with the new colors, not to mention there's infinite possibilities of getting mods done to it. Mach 1 is only limited edition so not available anymore in Australia. I would've booked Jet gray Mach 1. Thanks for the review Mat, got me excited

I have the GT350 and the standard GT both with manual.... They are some of the best pony cars in the world..... Both have magnetorheological suspension and it is one of the best suspension systems installed on a muscle car....
At the beginning of every carwow video, Mat reminds me the obvious reason, why I clicked on this particular video😂"I am Mat Watson, and you are watching carwow".👏👍👍
I'm from the US and had a 2011 5.0 when I was stationed in the UK in 2013. It took a bit of getting used to on narrow roads, as well as it being left hand drive. But I would also see more Bentleys than Mustangs when I was out and about, so I guess it was quite rare in the UK at that time, especially when you got away from the military bases.
I think it needs to be said that "they don't make them like they used to" , and that is meant in the most positive way! Sure, the overall quality may not be threatening the VW group, BMW and Mercedes but it certainly isn't so bad that it should automatically be excluded from most people's lists of options. The Mustang V8 must be one of the best,if not the best, sounding V8s I have heard.
'VW group' includes too many brands. This Mustang won't hold a candle to something like an A5, but will compete with Skoda or VW especially the newest iterations (looking at you, Golf). Actually sat in a Mustang at the dealership and was pretty surprised by how soft the materials were overall. That being said, the pre-facelift model was worse for sure especially without the premium package. I suspect that's the one most people heard about.
@@xIcarus227 this this mustang will devoid its biles of fecal matter on an A5. The RS5 would be a different story only from a dig. But with the 10 speed auto it's anyone's game. Also a 2020 RS5 is anywhere between 75-90k right now😂. There's people making 800-1k HP in mustang GT's for that money. Mustangs aren't luxury vehicles. They were meant to give the average working person great performance for dirt cheap. Now society is turning the dang car into a European POS. Porsche will strip a car and charge people more for it. BMW lies about the engines. Audi only has its quattro. Mercedes is just too expensive. The mustang wasn't meant to compete with these vehicles. The fact that it can keep up with these brands on a track is what makes it able to be mentioned. That's one thing about European, "car enthusiast" when one aspect gets taking off the table, another magically appears. I.e you take performance off the table and European, "car enthusiast" will start in on the interior. 🤣
8:15 At least in US spec Mustangs, it's a staggered click because it will sequentially light up the 3 bulbs in the individual lights, which takes more time than if it was just a single bulb.
I am getting 19.5 MPG in the US. The slot to the left of the steering wheel is for your sunglasses. In US. The Mach 1 is 480HP/420TQ. Bummer on the cup holders over there, from the left hand drive it works good for a drink and not getting in the way of the fantastic transmission. Love this car, total blast to drive and has room for us fuller fingered folks.
For me best classic ever and one of best sound engine ever. I Love "Old school", cars that evolve but maintain the charisma and soul that always characterized them. I Love all muscle car, for me, muscle cars from the 60's and 70's are my all-time favorites, most mediatic cars that can exist
Love how Ford didn’t bother moving the parking brake or the Column adjuster release lever to the drivers side for UK models, just took the left-hand-driver steering columns to the right of the vehicle 😭
I saw that too and I was thinking, I don’t have that issue in my car… HA! It’s a small price to pay. I’m sure they are thrilled to have the Mustang available now in UK. The Mustang is the #1 selling imported coupe in Germany. The Germans love the Mustang. Coming from a country that produces the cars they do, that’s as high a compliment the Mustang could ever receive from the international community…
My favorite modernish mustang is the Ford Mustang RTR, they should make a 2022 RTR. Seen it in person and it’s VERY fast and sounds beautiful, and the front grill looks amazing. This Mach 1 is…ok…
1:42 that's for aftermarket lights, like in old Mustang. Especially a good tbt 2014 Need For Speed Mustang which had LED DRL ring lights. I love them! Even halagons I think they should keep doing it stock.
@@Sidowse well in the movie Need For Speed, that Mustang also work as air intake also giving some cool led ring lights. BUT mostly they used for extra lights. I guess you can you them as you preferd.
Cheap, cool looking and fast. Its what i like in muscle cars. Mustangs are my favorite in USA category. I can never forget when i first saw 2013 Mustang GT 500 Super Snake, review by Randy Pobst in Ignition series. That car raminded me of the GT-R. Low price for maximum fun ❤
1:33 those round plastic bits in front of the mustang is the nose which is used to smell other vehicles, but as I'm seeing the one you are reviewing has a cold or has contracted corona hence its blocked but if you feed it lemon it will open and have more horse power
I have the standard 5.0 V8 GT. 30/32 mpg all day long driving normally. Comparable with most German bruisers. Auto is best, no doubt about it. These are generally Sunday / funday cars but perfectly useable as a daily. Buy one, you won't regret it, makes you and others smile!
Mustang GT is such a unique car in a Florida , just like a uniform looks unique in an army. You can spit in any direction and can be sure you gone hit right on a mustang
At the press conference for the Mach 1, one of the workers said the blank circular bits is an option for the fog lights but also can be used for a intake tunnel for owners who are willing to upgrade the engine. They also said it’s basically a kit car for Ford owners to have an easier access and ways to modify the Mustang with already upgraded bits from factory.
@@ChantalAnn-Marie Same in the Netherlands :'(. Currently looking to import one from the US. If I find one that costs about 10k euros in the US I'll end up costing me about 5k extra to ship it here and do import taxes etc. But here in the Netherlands it's impossible to find one for that price basically, so it's still the best option.
@@_-Anthony-_ the price isn't terrible i suppose but could be alot cheaper if it wasn't for the fact that you meed to import, specially with the way the car market is atm 😬 6th gen mustangs are sold here though luckily
Even more. I work at a Ford dealership, we sold one a couple months ago for about 125k. And a normal convertible automatic with options for 117..... crazy
Can you finally include the consumption in liter per 100 km? You already do the conversion for brake tests in meters, why not use a proper, metric measure that most people use?
Interesting, a stock Mustang used to have 460hp and the first year Mach 1 had 480hp. The US version had 460hp. Sad. The 10 auto is quite a bit faster. I like the fact you attempted the 0-60 with the manual.
21 is excellent for that beast. I averaged 15.1 in mine and that was with considerable amount of freeway miles. 21 MPG tells me the tach never climbed over 4k! That’s excellent!
27 is poor. I had 26 mpg in a Ford focus 1.6 2007 last year. (was supposed to be better but I guess it was older and spark plugs may have needed to be replaced). I had 33 mpg on a 2017 Nissan qashqai 1.2 litre turbo. Again real world was a lot less than what you read on. I've now jumped onto a 2009 Toyota prius since December and get 55/56 mpg. That's what I think is good. I drive 39 miles to work and then 39 back so a Prius has been great for saving money!
1:32: The vents on the bonnet aren't real. 3:45: That "storage area" isn't meat for coins for parking, it's for your sunglasses - that's why it has a protective fabric in there to not scratch your glasses. And speaking of annoying things: You not only do not get adaptive cruise control, you also can't get parking sensors front or rear. There's only a rear camera, but up front you're on your own. Also you not only get the rear subframe of the Shelby GT500, but also its differential and - much more important - its transmission. The Mach1's manual transmission isn't the same one as the GT gets.
Just for anyone wondering rear seat room, I’m 6ft 5 and I fit in the back of the Mach 1. All be it, slightly slouched to not hit my head on the rear window
The 1973 Mach 1 had additional (fog?) lights between the headlights. Those blacked out circles on the bumpers could be a nod to that, or maybe they're just not on that particular car?
Great car and a nice review as always. I think the only problem with the Mach 1 is the waiting list to order a new one. I believe it's around 1 year at the moment! At least it was when I went to a Ford garage to enquire about one last month.
My dealership has one, been sitting since last fall, reduced a couple thousand from the sticker price, they're too busy selling everything else at markup prices. Edit, actually just checked they are now selling it for a couple thousand over, it was previously reduced.$76,000 Cdn.
Love the mustang, it’s good value for money for a V8 powered car if you want a bmw with a V8 it’s gonna cost 100k at least, the C63 is 76k so compared to the Germans it’s great value for money and you can rev it all the way out, thank you Ford
To be fair, BMW's bread and butter is the in-line 6. All of their current track-focused M-cars are 6 cylinders. They really only use v8's for the high-end "look at me" models that most of their customers don't buy. Whenever I think Mustang, I think V-8. Whenever I think M3/4, I think I-6, except for the e92.
I don’t feel like reading 1700 comments to see if it was brought up, but the Mach1 uses the Tremec from the Shelbys, and not the Getrag of the regular 5.0
