2016 Ford Mustang Review

Ford Australia has finally released the Mustang locally and it’s got a 2.3-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine. The efficient turbocharged motor generates 233kW and 432Nm and uses as little as 9L/100km on the combined cycle.

That enough? That ok? Good, because no one cars about a four-cylinder Mustang. So let’s forget that and concentrate on the model everyone does care about – the 324kW/542Nm, 5.0-litre V8!

This Ford Mustang, the first officially available in Australia since the 1960’s, is the sixth generation of what is now an automotive legend. It’s also the first Mustang that’s been designed by the factory to be RHD. This new Mustang was always supposed to be an export star.

Retro is cool, but retro isn’t easy to nail, yet this new Mustang fills the brief perfectly – it’s modern but old school – and it needs to be to keep the Mustang faithful happy.

I would highly recommend that u combine normal reviews with drag strip testing and acceleration numbers. None the less a fantastic channel. Great job guys

Hi CarAdvice, could you please extend the length of your reviews so consumers can get a more in depth look at cars? Your videos are still great, keep up the good work guys!

Just the fact that ford couldn't be bothered to switch the cupholder and handbrake around for right hand drivers is serious lack of attention to detail what if I want to change gears but I've got a drink in the car? Whoops there goes the coffee. Seriously, a nice car but some things really let it down

Bro, those side burns man, the 80s called Bruh, they want dem back

Hi, I couldn't open my mustang (GT 2016) after I came back from 2 weeks holiday. Any advice what should I do? I will highly appreciate it. Thanks!!

Who would buy a muscle car with a 4 banga

[nathansmith]

Do you think the mustang would be a suitable first car?

[damo]

Why can't aus get the GT350R? Regards,

[topher.m]

Can you comment on the appalling 2/5 star safety rating? It's the most unsafe car on the road.

[MrWilliam.Stewart]

Nice car advert. Tell me thought, how did it perform in ANCAP crash testing? And why are people calling it the new Ford Pinto? What's that all about?

[sebastientumahai]

All that needs to be done now, is the GM to ship the camero over a badge it as a Holden

[HIXTAR]

All that work and they don't bother putting the handbrake on the right hand side of the console.

[sepehr_moghani]

The 5.0L does have a better sound but The 2.3L is more economical. Besides how realistically a driver can use all of those Horse Powers that the V8 produces?

Top Gear 2016 Malaysia Season 5 Very soon as well because doesn't have the Malaysia Spec Ford Mustang was going American Muscle

[aldona]

[flavianlew]

[ralentinovossi]

In what world is 9L/100km considered efficient lmao

[akipadre]

Nice car, but I'll take the Ford Focus Rs thank you.

[hmackprotection]

The Mustang GT, & the new Camaro's are more sports cars..The Challenger SRT is a Pure Modern Muscle Car, & so are the 2008-14 Shelby GT500's, & the 2012-15 Camaro ZL1

[hagbard]

V6 for the win! The V8 is a Posers car.
