Quiet mode is like that friend that doesn't know how to whisper

[peKadoDeDioZ]

im not a mustang guy by no means, but when this guy planted his dirty boot on the back side of that seat and got it dirty it REALLY FUCKING BOTHERED

[silverioarroyo]

I wouldn't use quiet mode ever. If it's 3 am and I'm leaving or going somewhere, I'm using track mode exhaust, shifting at 5k, and heel toeing everywhere.

[andrewhaley]

The auto is no normal auto. I drove one for a week and was very impressed. Drag mode was insane and thats coming from someone who has only ever had manual sports cars. I had a blast driving it

[disinferno]

thumbs down for not even putting the exhaust in Race mode

2:22 If that footprint went on my seat I'd be pist lmao

[Grabber]

13 seconds after I bought it that shift chime would never be heard from again

Mustang has definitely upped its game into the Premium category with all those features. Looking forward to seeing how the Performance Pack 2 performs as well.

The 2018 Mustang GT (460 hp) is awesome. My preferred car was the Dodge Challenger 6.2L Scat Pack UNTIL I drove the '18 Mustang GT. They're both powerful cars, but the '18 Mustang delivers more bang for the buck. Yes, the Scat pack has 25 more hp, but the Ford has line lock, is lighter, sounds just as mean (if not meaner) than the Scat Pack, handles better, and is about $8-10K (Cdn dollars) cheaper than the Scat Pack. Both cars are a lot of fun, but to me the better value is the '18 GT. Feel free to prove me wrong.

Some people don’t know how to drive stick and can only drive automatic. I have always wanted a Ford Mustang GT Premium in AUTOMATIC. You still can have plenty fun in a automatic

I am so glad I special ordered my 2018 silver GT, since it was the last year model with a CD player.

[danieleverett]

I got mine last Saturday. I’ve always been a Chevy guy and never thought I would own a Ford. I must say that I’m pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoy driving it. It has much better features than my 2015 1LE did.

Took a trip to California before the coronavirus outbreak and I rented a 2019 Mustang gt premium. It had the 10 speed automatic transmission and I was very surprised how well it actually works. Still alot of fun, even for an automatic.

[charlesdegener]

Don’t knock 10 speed automatic until you try it it is the bomb

[mustangtony]

Your  review of this car has been my favorite!

[josephblandino]

You keep downplaying the automatic but I guarantee the automatic will beat the manual in a quarter-mile race every time

[mnyshp]

You forgot to showcase Track Mode with the exhaust.

[outbackeddie]

I don't understand why the Mustang has virtually no back seat. I had 66, 67, and 69 Mustangs and they ALL had backseats that adults could use while being smaller than the new Mustang. Someone at Ford please explain this to me. Do you need to go back to design school?

[manamidrunk]

My Mode. If you need to know how to set it, go to the mode you want then make changes. In my case i have a 2019 PP2, i set it at Sport + (it's a standard) and i added track exhaust to annoy the neighbors. I have active exhaust. Then hold OK to set My Mode.

Watched this review in December of 2018 after ordering mine over here in AUS, this review made me unbelievably excited and since having it I’ve done 14K miles in mine and loved every second of it cheers for the great review
