Is the 2019 Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack a GOOD daily driver?

The 2019 Mustang GT Performance Pack has a lot of power and style. Does it make for a good daily driver though? Let me show you every aspect of the Mustang GT, including a drive so you can fin out if it works for you!

Absolutely! 23k miles and 2-1/2 years on mine. I'll drive it daily even in Houston traffic! And I back in spaces if at all possible. Nothing beats seeing my GT in the parking garage after a hard day at work! Great job as usual.

don't understnad the "black car" fear, they clean up well, hide door dings, and eventually chips and rust much better than white, silver, and lighter colors, they can be a heat sink in deep south heat. but they look sharp, show off wheels, and re-sale well.

The small screen is their tactic to make u upgrade to the NAV system and pay extra for it.

For those who are unsure to buy one of those, buy one, you won’t regret it trust me. Put an upgraded air intake and you are all set. Never thought of buying one of those before and never was a fan until I took one. Now I am. Built solid

The best cars the US has are absolutely the Corvette and the Mustang. Good review Raiti ;)

Yes. 80 mile round trip daily and most weekends in my ‘18 GT PP1 which is the same car as the ‘19. It can be a regular car or an absolute monster. Just depends on how you drive it. Regular drive mode can be tame and reserved. Sport mode makes this a different car with the auto transmission. Amazing throttle and braking response engine braking and great downshifts. Last 8K miles I’ve driven have all been in Sport.

Performance all season tires are required below 45 degrees.

Fuel economy ranges from 23-26 mpg.

Also front bumper clears most parking lot blocks. Whaa the infotainment screen is a little small. Plenty for a backup camera.

Don’t cheap out not getting the Brembo brakes. If you’re going to drive fast, you’ll want them. They’ve saved my car a few times already.

Add a dash cam and good radar detector and you’ve got a fantastic car.

Life hack: Don’t pull into a parking spot, back in. Boom, can’t rip off the spoiler on the front.

I daily drive in the UK.
No issues even in the rain.
Drinks the fuel though.

Absolutely great review here Joe and Tom showing all the small details of daily driving a GT my friend has a 6 speed 2018 GT and we live in Chicago and he and many others daily thiers. Thanks Walker Ford for always offering this beautiful Mustangs and other vehicles!

I went from a Scatty Charger to a ten speed 5.0 and wow! The difference is crazy. The ten speed 5.0 Stang is the ultimate street race car end of story.

This was the most amazing and powerful message I ever heard. Thank you from my heart.

A front cam would really help save the front spoiler in parking situations ...This machine looks so sexy in black ! But it really takes dedication ! Great review Joe.

I daily drive a 2015 Mustang gt, manual transmission with the performance pack, and I approve this message.

The back seat of a Mustang is for those under age 10. You can put grown ups in the back seat as long as you cut their legs off.
If you want to move the seat over for rear access, USE the latch in the back of the seats NOT the reclining side lever.
For almost three years, my daily driver has been a white 2016 V-6 auto Mustang. It is a basic car, good on gas, can get out of its own way, it has a large trunk and fun to drive.
If I were to replace it with a new Mustang, it would have to be a V-8. Ford no longer makes the V-6 version.
BTW, you did not show the trunk release button on top of the rear license plate. ALSO, the way you drive, this would be a very expensive daily driver.
Thanks for your post.

We got our Kona blue 2019 GT PP1 in August and absolutely love it! Its the fun/backup/road trip car. On sunny cold days I'll drive it to work (12 mile round trip). Rev matching is SO cool! We have some nice back roads around us and will occasionally take it on there and mainly stay in 3rd & 4th gears just to listen to it and have fun. Its averaged 23.8 mpg over 5100 miles we've put on it. I opted not to get magnaride for $1695 but it handles amazing without it. Only mods are we put an MBRP Street catback on it, all season tires for winter on it with a set of 20" Carroll Shelby wheels (CS-14), ceramic coated, 35% window tint, painted the calipers red, catch can, K&N air filter and most importantly - removed the spaceship from the motor the night we got it!

I’m gonna buy one in around 9-12 months saving my money I like the sound and looks of this car I have a 03 mustang 5speed love it

[klntym]

It’s three years down the road and my 19 is still putting a smile on my face every time I hit the throttle! I have had one issue that did take a long time to fix but it was mostly over the winter while I was not using it anyway. As for the black paint? Well there is a big issue with daily driving it and that’s is the paint is horrible, it is very susceptible to chipping and scratches! But I drive it daily so I live with it.

[Spinnablock]

This question never made sense to me. If people daily a hayabusa in the summer.. you can definitely daily just about any vehicle. The car is only a beast when you crack the throttle. You can drive it like a Prius through the city and like a GT on the backroads

I found this very interesting. I've had a 2019 Mustang GT (in the U.K.) for about a month and it will be my daily drive from September. It seems like the specification is a little different in the U.K, but we are paying a lot more. A GT with metallic paint, adaptive suspension and option pack 2 (19 inch wheels, satnav, Bang O sound system, climate control seats and some extra leather interior) is 45K Pounds Sterling. So far I'm loving the Mustang - Thank-You USA!
