Back in 2019 (We did say 2018 in the video - whoops) - Nikki was invited to view the Ford Mustang Mach-E ahead of its official LA Auto Show debut.
An in the time since then, she's been given a chance to get behind the wheel of several different Mustang Mach-E Variants, including the Mustang Mach-E Premium, Mustang Mach E GT, and Mustang Mach E GT Performance.
Today, she's getting behind the wheel of the lightly refreshed 2024 Mustang Mach-E GT, which has been given some significant under-the-hood tweaks for extra performance, better thermal management, and even more performance.
Join her as she takes to the roads in Washington State to put the GT through its paces.

As a basic daily commuter, my Mach-E Select is great. I was one of those people who was annoyed at the use of the brand "Mustang" for it when it was announced. But after having mine for over two years, the combination of RWD "happy to break loose in a corner if you floor it" and the rough suspension (I with Magneride was on all of them!) I've come to admit it is "fine" to use the Mustang badge.

@dcvariousvids8082 Месяц назад

The green with the gold hi-lited wheel is nice. But I do like it in pale blue.

@mrjonlor Месяц назад

I’ve owned both a ‘22 Mach E Premium RWD and a ‘23 GTPE. The difference between the two is impressive. I completely agree with Nikki that if you want a daily commuter, the Premium is more than sufficient. When driving the GTPE, the car subtly whispers to you to that it can go faster and if you’re not careful, it’s easy to blow past the speed limit without even trying. As I put it, the Premium can go fast. The GTPE is built to do crime. 🤣

I always add blind spot mirrors to my vehicles, you can get them for cheap and they make all the difference. Honestly not sure why they aren't always included, sometimes they are.

I came VERY close to purchasing a Hyundai Ioniq but needed a lunch break. After lunch, on the way back to Hyundai, I stopped by the Ford dealer (across the street) and test drove a new GT (with Panoramic Roof). Zero Percent financing and $1k below MSRP and I now have a Glacier Gray Metallic in my driveway! Warning: the Mach-E GT is more compelling than crack cocaine. Its handling and ride are superb. The power is phenomenal. I pray that I can keep my driver’s license.

@williamlathan6932 Месяц назад

TE, they could have named it fusion, taurus, ltd, mondeo (😊) etc. We all know they did it for the clicks. It's pretty nice.

@ChrisJohnson-om8uk Месяц назад

I recognized those roads. I kid you not, you drove within a mile of our house. I have driven every one of those roads in my own Mustang Mach-E (premium). Now we have to re-watch the entire video because we were too busy looking for landmarks the first time and missed the actual review🤣

@alsavage1 Месяц назад

Me too. I lived in Duvall for 13 years, moved two years ago. When she was commenting on how "this road is better . . . but still not perfect", that's the Snoqualmie Valley crossing on Woodinville-Duvall Rd. which I commuted on when the southern valley crossing flooded for around ten days every winter . . . an hour to travel two miles across that "not perfect" road. And her nav screen showed she was on Union Hill Rd. And I recognized West Snoqualmie Valley Rd. several times. Then 520 through Microsoft Land, and finally Bellevue off 405.

@stevewausa Месяц назад

Yeah I totally thought of BRG in that gorgeous emerald hue

@geraldh.8047 Месяц назад

Wow, they actually reworked the front to reduce complexity and accidentally forgot to add the heatpump 😢

@mrjonlor Месяц назад

They simplified the heating system in the 2023.5 mid-year revision. It’s still a resistive heater, but they eliminated at least one pump and reservoir and can harvest excess heat from the motors leading to better performance in the cold. 🤷‍♂️

@@mrjonlorthank you for the clarification, good to know!

@crowfoot1199 Месяц назад

oooh dang do I like that green!! More cars in lovely greens! I got the digital teal in my Ioniq 5 which is a great chameleon-like colour, but I do love that green. Thanks for a great review, as always!

@Mwesi Месяц назад

Weeeeee! that looks like FUN! I like "Unleash your right foot"

@Jcewazhere Месяц назад

Love that color. Not gonna be able to afford it for decades, if ever. Bout to drop 25 grand on solar panels. Yes, thanks to you ladies and Energy Sage. Though the solar company I eventually went with is doing some 'used car salesman' style BS, energy sage themselves were pretty helpful. And it's still going to save money in the long run, even with the >= 150% markup and oversized system.

@mrallelectriccarlunacy Месяц назад

Would love to see more color combinations like that green and gold on the road.

@Yanquetino Месяц назад

It's a great EV, would've been my 2nd choice recently. AND… it can use v3 Superchargers if needed. Dunno when other EVs will be able to join Ford and Rivian in that J3400 transition.

@lyledal Месяц назад

I *love* that green color!

@Master_Failure Месяц назад

Congratulations on the self improvement. It looks good on you. I am attempting to do the same. It is hard, but I do feel better for it. This looks like a nice option when I change out the Tesla, but the little inconveniences like tax credit and the infotainment system are holding me back. I hope those improve soon as well.

@crowfoot1199 Месяц назад

M does a fantastic job, don't they?? ❤

@mikekuhl5155 Месяц назад

Can’t wire. I trust your options as genuine. Considering a Mach E as Ford is starting to incentivize the stock.

@Snerdles Месяц назад

I think I like the Ioniq 5N better due to the unique styling and the much faster charging, but this is still a pretty solid offering from Ford.

@BufordT Месяц назад

Is the panoramic roof optional on the GT? I really like it on my Premium Mach-E.

@A-thou-less Месяц назад

Yes, it is an option…but in the GT the driver really doesn’t get a chance to look up. The passengers love it. The glass does a great job keeping the heat out. No shade needed even at lower latitudes.

@bigboxofstuff Месяц назад

This was great, almost makes me want a ford lol.

@transportevolved Месяц назад

Sadly not - we can't get to every event as we don't have the budget.

@olebloom1641 Месяц назад

It definitely is worthy of the Mustang name based on metrics.

@AnonymousFreakYT Месяц назад

And the ride quality. (Have a Mach-E now, and my wife is so tired of the stiff ride that she's ready to get rid of it. I'm looking at ride quality improvements now. Apparently the Magneride suspension that is now standard in the GT is a significant improvement over what we have, but we're not upgrading for that.)

@tonydelamancha5513 Месяц назад

would’ve been funny to see how they explain how a MachE chargers at a tesla supercharger. i have park super close, dangerously close to the charger for the cord to barely make it. the mache has its charge port too far away from the front.

@A-thou-less Месяц назад

The V4 chargers change that problem, as you park alongside the pedestal. I’m still in line for an adapter, but charge at Magicdocks with ease.

@robertimrie3710 Месяц назад

I regularly see 5 miles per kWh in my Model 3 performance on 18s. As a cleaner greener EV it makes way more sense judging by the poor Mach E figures I have seen. It's a deal breaker.

@transportevolved Месяц назад

Strange… this (refreshed)model has just launched….

You can get your car modified with hand controls to replace the pedal.

@avsystem3142 Месяц назад

You need to put a low frequency cut on the in-car audio recordings. There is a very annoying rumble that makes listening unpleasant on a full-frequency AV system. For monolog/dialog there isn't any reason to have frequencies below 500 Hz in the feed.

A Kodak employee developed the first handheld digital camera in 1975, according to Wikipedia. In subsequent decades, the company could not face the fact that the digital future was going to be less profitable than the analog past. Failures to embrace the future led directly to bankruptcy. What have the big old car companies learned from Kodak’s failure?

@Dularr Месяц назад

Did you ever attempt to use the early Kodak digital cameras. They were awful.

@FameyFamous Месяц назад

My first digital camera was a 2001 Kodak EasyShare 2.2 megapixel. It was good enough and cheap enough for me at the time. A few years later when I decided to upgrade, I went with Canon. My point was that by 2001 when EasyShare was released, Kodak had already blown their lead. Fuji’s first commercial digital camera was released in 1989.

I know I am not supposed to comment but this has bothered me since I was banned Did both you and Kate both have Morris Minors about the same time. I ask remember a blue gray Morries minor being used by either you or Kate to move a mutual friend to stay in my home with her spouse. I suspect it was Kate, because we also share another mutual friend who lives around here. But I have wondering if was your Morris and if you were giving it a trip home given I am only a few miles away from the Cowley plant. If what I am asking is inappropriate please delete this post. Unless utub has done so already...

Ford need to get their EV act together. Under the bonnet the Mach-E looks like rats nest of compromises. And loosing money on Every EV they sell can't be sustainable. Ford aught to be congratulated for early entry into this market. But it's not going well for them unfortunately...

@transportevolved Месяц назад

Strange. have you seen under there? When? Were you at the launch too?

@Charlie-UK Месяц назад

@@transportevolved Sandy Munro & Associates, had one at some point and took the Internal bonnet Cover off to look underneath. He was aghast at the Rats nest of Pipework and waste of space. Compared to the rather elegant engineering of Tesla. And yes I know he is a bit of a Tesla bull...

@transportevolved Месяц назад

@@Charlie-UK So, to be clear, you're basing your opinion not on first-hand experience, but the video made by someone a few years ago - and not by what we reiterated in the video, which is that Ford has dramatically sampled the under-hood area?

@Charlie-UK Месяц назад

@@transportevolved Perhaps, but there is a pretty clear Technology gap. Between the Legacy automakers EV's and Tesla. Ford might have given the Mach-E a refresh. But it doesn't mean Ford makes money selling EV's. As evidenced by Ford bringing their EV production lines to a screeching halt. When Inventory started backing up at dealers. And the eye watering losses at Fords Electric division were revealed...

@transportevolved Месяц назад

@@Charlie-UK Just as a reminder. Tesla lost money for YEARS... and as we pointed out in another recent video on this channel, it took Toyota nearly fifteen years to get its ROI on Hybrid tech.
