Glad you picked up on the A/C Compressor vibration, road tested the GT awhile ago and thought the NVH engineers must've been on holidays when the compressor mounting was designed.

[ianmondon]

Ford could do itself a favour and put more designs into the hands of their Australian design team given how well received the Ranger has been. They were the people that also produced the Territory and Falcon.

[Duckmister]

I was super disappointed with the base trim level. Here in New Zealand, at $75k with manually adjusted seats, and non powered tailgate. It just cannot compete with other offerings available.

[mighty_bunny]

I do really love the styling on this and I'm a fan of the concept in general. But that pricing needs work, especially at the entry level.

[brendanjohnson]

I think the price is seriously delusional. IONIQ 5 N at the price is the better choice

[Marks.Reviews]

Always love your reviews. Might need more charge in the battery to get the better 0 to 100 time like 90% and do it on a cooler day. Are there any Ford badges on it?

[DavelSaverage]

If it's anything like my Model 3 LR it does reduce flatout outputs at lower battery levels, not to the extent of costing anything like 2 seconds on 0-100 times but maybe Ford are super conservative.

[hadtobe]

Aircon vibration - heat in cabin is not helped by glass roof with no inside cover.

[gtok]

Untamed plus reduces power. You should do your 0-100 tests in standard untame. Also with a higher battery charge level.

[jspanga]

like the design, but the BYD seal performance at 70k is a waay better value proposition

[whathashappened]

Paul, I wanted to ask you about this car. I now have more than one reason to not opt this car.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review this car, You saved $$$

[duncanwallace]

I really dont like those big almost free-standing monitors so many EVs have. I'd much prefer something smaller and integrated into the dash.

[jessh]

Explains why these are piling up at dealerships in the US and they are struggling to sell these. Probably will happen here too so for anyone who is willing to wait and go in hard with negotiations, can probably get a better deal.

[caterinavillani]

Pls do a peugeot 3008 review btw your The best car reviewer and you shall keep up the good work

[gavinwilkie]

Can't use your phone while driving, but can use a screen the size of a small continent

[tommobruh]

Love how honest your reviews are mate! Car seems very average…

[paulsciacca]

The standard range RWD has an LFP battery.
Not far off Model Y RWD money, has a more standard equipment over the Tesla. Doesn’t look terrible reading off the spec sheet.

Maybe a comparison between MY RWD and Mach E RWD SR is needed?

[THEDOPEGAME]

🤔Imagine trying to get a 0-60(100kph)….
at 36% percent battery…
And then say "It’s nowhere near the claimed" 🥴

[FlyerUnderTheRadar]

The GT tends to heat throttle quite a lot, you can see the limited power at the power/recup bar where it will fill out the top end of te power with little bars when limiting. (It already starts doing that after 5 seconds of full power, which makes the GT really disappointing).
Untamed plus is also not the mode with the fastest acceleration, it in fact limits the peek power to avoid above mentioned heat throttling and give a more consistent drive for a longer time.

In my opinion the extended range RWD or AWD offer a better experience than the GT, still a bit on the expensive side though. But then it's not really a mustang, but rather a decent ford electric cross-over.

[TheMarkdogface]

So it’s basically crap and Paul was just trying to be nice .. there is a reason why they are not selling .. probably need to drop the GT to $80k and entry level to $60k.. then again it’s just crap
