I love this new Mustang GT look. I have a 2005 GT that I bought new in 2004 and it still puts a huge smile on my face when I drive it. I still get lots of thumbs up from people.

Hate that digital flat screen. Its a way to save a few pennies by getting rid of knobs and buttons.

Here's the thing re: everyone saying "it looks like a Camaro": 1. It doesn't 2. The Mustang looked NOTHING like a Mustang from 1979-2004 and people got used to them and bought them anyway.

I really enjoy listening to the back ground music while you are speaking in the GT.

Finally saw one in person. I hated the look of the interior when I saw the reveal but it does look much better in person.

Its a beautiful car, instantly recognizable as the new Mustang. Id like a EcoBoost convertible white with tan interior. 😊

Growing up, my older brothers had 1967 Mustang 289 cubic inch two barrel V8 with an automatic transmission that they bought used for $400. The old Mustangs were actually very basic cars. And, even though it was a V8, it wasn't all that powerful. The US$30k base model Mustang seems pretty affordable by today's standards, and far more advanced than the old Mustangs.

Manual v Automatic? Don’t be too judgmental. I have both an older manual Porsche and a newer PDK. They are both fun in their own right but the PDK is other worldly fast and precise. The manual is “fun” but the PDK is awesome fun and makes you feel like you have a lot of control over all the speed.

Wow. Screens taking over wrecks interiors. For Porsche and other specialty cars I think they should offer manual dial packages.

You do have to think of the one car owner. For them cost can be a big factor and Ecoboost would be the way to go. You could actually afford the gas bill for a daily commute.

Great reviews guys! I have loved your channel for years now. How does this new GT compare to a Covette C8, which I currently own 2023 2LT Stingray.

Mustang is the most beautiful car out there ! You can’t beat what you get for the price !

OK kids, let's get real here. The Mustang V8 is crazy fun, but the cost of these big toys is just nuts. Some perspective: From 71-73 I had a 66 coupe with the I-6 and 3 speed manual. It was plenty-O-fun and would greatly exceed any legal US or Canadian speed limit. Bought and sold it for $600. I had a 84 V6 LX convertible. Lightly used for $8000. Only 112hp but it would go over 100 and it was a convertible. Had a new 86 GT liftback with 5-speed manual with it's incredible at the time 200 hp. Kept it for 15 years. It was $12, 500 OTD. Next is my 2019 Ecoboost Premium convertible with the manual. Plenty-O-fun. Got it "new" with 1450 miles for $29, 000 OTD.
But the best (for me) is my 2011 V6 convertible Premium Pony Package with the manual and upgraded infotainment I installed to replace the dumb SYNC that had died. The V6 was $13, 000 with 82, 000 one-owner miles.
I've watched nearly every YouTube review by all the regular suspects whizzing along the Angels Crest. OK, I get it, the GT is the one you want, but for many people who just want a new fun to drive Pony car, the Ecoboost is rationally the wiser choice. Come on folks, where in 99% of daily use do you need all the power of the V8 engines, plus there is the cost of premium fuel, more expensive insurance, and abysmal gas mileage. For folks that want a manual Ecoboost you can find a used one thanks to the internet. One thing that all testers fail to mention: if you want the advertised power from the Ecoboost or GT you have to use 93 octane. So why do I like the 2011 V6 best? 305 hp on 87 octane and it gets 33mpg at 65 mph. In response to one thing you noted about the 10-speed auto: the 6-speed auto that Ford used from 2011 to 2017 in the Mustang is more fun and spends less time hunting for the gears than the 10-speed, although apparently Ford has tuned it better for the 24 Ecoboost.

The automatic transmissions have come a long way since the old AODs, but I'll still have the manual over the automatic any day.

[michaelguilfoyle]

have always like the stang...but am not really sold on the instrument cluster....like the retro look of the earlier ones..but seems to be the way things are going...nice car...V8 only way to go..enjoy🙂

Dame, I just bought my civic. Now just have to wait 4 more years for this mustang.

[papadougpapadougsadventures]

Looks Great. My son has a 1998 black convertible GT with Black leather interior. He gets in a lot of trouble with it😂😂

[jayrichards]

Andrea's too cute with her "Why are you so fast" quip. Zack's 1 fortunate dude!

[chrisgovatsos]

Should an info screen be the design element or just part of the design?

[immanuelingari]

Amazing content🎉.No more convincing, I am gifting myself this car for my birthday this year🔥

[GHinWI]

Does every new car have to have the huge gamer screen?
