This guy has no idea what he is talking about in terms of how fast this car is, especially relative to hot hatches like his Fiesta ST. The Fiesta ST is 0-60 mid 6's and 1/4 Mile in high 14's. The Focus ST is 0-60 in high 5's and 1/4 mile in low 14's. The Mach1? 0-60 in low 4's and 1/4 mile in low to mid 12's. The Mach 1 is MUCH faster than all the hot hatches. And if you get the handling package it's been shown to be as fast around a track as a GT350R! This car is in a totally different league than those teenager puddle jumpers, and the price reflects that.

Now you get it! The perfections in the imperfections. That's what the mustang is about. It's beastly. You have to be skilled to drive it really good, you must pay attention, you experience the car. That's why we love it in America. the car!

Great review. As a Mach 1 owner I concur on a lot of the points you made, although I have the 10 speed so the cupholder position isn't a problem for me and being in Aus, I don't have or need a heated steering wheel. Completely agree with your sentiments on how it drives as well. My last two cars were an M550i and an M3 which were much faster, more competent, more refined, better tech, the list goes on. The Mach 1 is still so much fun despite all of that and sounds amazing. None of the BMWs I've owned have come close to sounding as good or getting as much attention as the Mach 1 does

A smile on the face is the best selling point of Mustangs ... :-D

[rsndspecrange]

Couple things I want to add as a Mach 1 owner

- This car is Fast, only noticeable if you push it past 6K rpm it'll beat most hot hatches on the M-way / dual carriage

- the handling is better than a normal s550 however it's not the best part of the experience I guess

- discontinued now so adds to the "special edition" factor

- back seats are a joke lol

[jebwatson]

That is pretty shitty of Ford to not switch the cup holders and e brake around for the right hand drive market (even if it is, clearly, the wrong side). Not too concerned about rear seats. I've always kinda wished this car was just an unabashed two seater.

The Mustang is a man's car!! Great

[EricJones-yiuy]

I just purchased a 2021 Mustang GT 401a pkg and I look at the Mach 1 as the slightly older and cooler brother of my car. I'm extremely happy with my car but if I had the funds to go Mach 1 I certainly would have done so!!! I honestly don't see myself owning anything besides Mustangs in my life because I love them so much!!!

[Leo-rmgt]

Probably won't be the first person to say it but 'I like to save the planet', then proceeds to start up the gas guzzling V8 with probably an average mpg of 20 or below haha.

[JoshTitley]

Want to review my new fiesta St3? Would be an honour!

[cryptosully]

If you wanted better handling you should have gotten the handling package. Base model anything is not going to handle well. most people underbuy and are disappointed. Should always overbuy and be impressed. plus when you buy the special packages the cars hold their value better. Resale on base model automobiles is horribly disappointing. I say if you want to buy any car or truck. be honest with yourself in how you are going to drive it and what you truly expect from the car or truck and buy accordingly. He is right about the mustang. It will always make you smile. If you're not smiling when you driving or not looking back at your car after you park and walk away. Then you bought the wrong car.

Mustangs will forever look out of place in the uk.

[fury]

With the smile on your face I think I could live with the cup holders being there but saying this they could have thought about this a little more when going European with the car.

[Sly_Wolf_]

@2:25 "I have a reusable one here because I like to save the planet" wise words spoken from inside a petrol guzzling daffodil murdering V8 mustang. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Sty_focused_hp]

I like to safe the planet and then starting up a green machine :p good joke xp

[iancairns]

Good lad, I wanted to know how big the boot was, need to persuade the wife I can get the pram in the boot no problem 😁

[spirro]

That really is shit the position of those cup holders.
