This one got my hackles up....................



Spent the better part of 21-minutes complaining about a lack of rear seat legroom, the hard ride, that it's not a practical daily commuter, that the exhaust is too loud, that it's too heavy, the lack of fuel economy..................all complaints that would be relevant on a hum-drum SUV. I mean, who on earth is looking for a "a relatively efficient muscle car"?

I get it, he's following a review template, but this is not a car to reviewed in such a way.

"Woof, I wasn't expecting that" and "Giddy up" tell me everything I need to know.

Oh and also "It's a BMW, which is not a Ford".... Ummmmm... yeah. Same as above.

This actually irritates me, I didn’t even know you could get mustangs in Australia. It’s not fair that they can have all the Toyota products I want and have Mustang lol I didn’t get a stang for a decent ride or leg room. Just something to thrash on during the weekends lol

 

[Deano1978]

The DE one is a pretty decent review IMO, finally got to see what my spec looks like (except I didn't order Recaro's and I'm still kicking myself).

Strange that the a fair few of the press cars are in colours that are no longer available to order

I averaged 26 MPG driving from Denver to Leadville and back. I drove with the cruise control on the whole way except one canyon where I went a little hard. That is extremely fuel efficient if you ask me.

Denver is 5280 ft. Eisenhower tunnel is 11,000 ft. Leadville is 10,000 ft.

Almost makes me wish I had ordered a 6-speed...

And I've just been checking out what it would take to change the diff ratio to shorten the gearing a bit, 5th and 6th being overdrive isn't much good if you want to track it a bit.

The 10 Speed Auto with manual Paddle-Shift solves those issues...,,, And it is heaps of FUN!

Nothing beats a clutch pedal

Nothing beats a clutch pedal

Except when you have to fork out $2K-$3K for a new clutch!

Forgot to mention the 10A80 has 1:1 at 7th gear - 3:55 Final Drive, so it gives a lot of flexibility, as some key Mustang Gt competitors have found at the Bathurst Production 6Hr Races - where they can always get the right gear, with the Paddle-Shift- and super fast.
