We all know it but it's worth saying: a manual exists for those of us that want a deeper connection to the car. It makes the experience more personal. It's satisfying to release a bit of frustration throwing those shifts around. And with each passing year, it becomes more of a theft deterrent as the art of driving stick fades.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
Your absolutely right joe my wife and I have a 2018 gt preamum package and its a butt load of fun to drive she got the royal crimson color new for 2018,i was on the freeway coming back from cali I mean (mexico)hehe had the cruise set at 120 and it was as smooth as butter.
Ford Focus St Freak congrats on your Mustang. That Royal Crimson is really beautiful. I’m glad you are enjoying her. Mexico is a great place to drive.😉
The steering wheel button only changes the steering feel between sport/normal/comfort. If you want to change the traction/stability control settings you have to press the stability control button twice quickly for sport mode and long press to turn traction/stability off. RTFM
That grey is an awesome colour, I love the way it accents itself at different angle's. Very nice car, I have heard they really improved the auto transmission this time around.
@@RaitisRides , Great review and video. 👍 I'm buying the exact same Mustang GT but with the 301A package. Love the retro style 5 star wheels. I don't need leather or 20 inch wheels. These cars run great with a few bolt-ons.
my best friend, bud moores son greg has one of these in premium and he lets me drive it a lot. in sport mode this car flys. have had it to 130 mph and its still pulling. fantastic car
Hey great job as usual, didn’t realize you could get a GT that cheap. Cool that Ford gives you that option. Kinda like the early mustangs even though they made millions of them it’s hard to find two exactly alike. Automatic transmissions have come a long way. My auto FR-S will hold a gear to redline when you put your foot in it. Plus it has a manual mode and manuals just suck in traffic. I drive an 18 wheeler for a living and my 2018 Freightliner is auto , was dreading it at first , but it’s better and safer for a lot of reasons.
I'm getting a Mustang here in a few weeks, and I just cannot decide between the manual, or auto ugh. I'm a car guy, and normally a manual guy, but I've driven the 10 speed and it really is impressive
Your videos went a long way towards me purchasing a 2019 GT with performance pack 1 , 301A with Nav and the active exhaust. I got the manual due to the fact it isn't my daily driver. It's a road trip car for my wife and I. I got the grey and I love it.Ford says 12 weeks for delivery so it will show up here the first of May. Can't wait til summer.
It actually showed up on the 18th of April. I am very happy with it. I put new Niche Wheels, tinted the windows and wrapped the roof in black satin. It's a absolute riot to drive.
Regarding your comment on cruise control buttons, Ford has been notorious for having the cruise control buttons on the wheel. On the other hand, GM puts the cruise control on one of the stalks, usually the cruise control is integrated with the turn signal on GM models.
What’s the sticker on this GT? Good touch with Lori! You guys are a good match ! Good review. I still like the way my ZO6 pulls through the gears but have always loved the sound of the Mustangs.
Great review joe👍 Like the look on your wife’s face when you accelerated Joe could you please tell me why on some reviews I’ve seen some mustangs have gauges in the air vents on the dash some don’t. I’m looking forward to your review in the premium model mustang. Jim ......Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Those are skinny tires for 460 hp! Thank God I have PP1, MagneRide & Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S on my 2018 manual GT convertible. Those wheels were optional on the 2015-17 V6...
I also have the 401A package with the digital dash and the Safe and Smart package with adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring and the Active Exhaust; it sounds glorious! Oh I forgot to mention the color, it is the new Royal Crimson red (metallic burgundy), the car is really gorgeous and a head turner!
So I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking for advice. So far I was looking at hatchbacks and was planning on getting a sti. I was looking for something that would be fun, fast, and I thought four doors would be good as well. However I dont need four doors and after reading up and watching videos I'm realizing the hatchbacks dont have the most comfortable drive and I'm getting a little unsure. I currently dri e a 2007 hhr so anything's gonna be an upgrade and I'm looking for something close to 30k so any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated 👍
Storn hmmmm! You have some great choices. For 30k you are looking at Subaru WRX, Ford Focus ST, VW GOLF GTI, Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Eco boost Mustang, Hyundai Veloster N, Chevy Camaro, Nissan 370Z. Honda Civic Si. What feature is at the top of your list?
Raiti's Rides well the most important things im looking for is something that's fun to drive, I can fit in (I'm 6"4), does at least decent in rain cause I live in florida, and fast. Also I'm not looking to buy new cheaper that way👍
Couldn't be happier with my 2019 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack 1 and 401a package (12 speaker Bang and Olufsen with the built in sub and digital cluster). I purchased it in Magnetic Metallic- similar to this one. The looks I get from people are priceless. Its as if I was driving a new Aston Martin...….
First time seeing this review. Laurie (bad spelling? sorry) should give her take more often 'cause a lot of us would not drive something our wives or girlfriend hates.
It annoys me that my 2017 base Tacoma has twice the screen of the mustang gt (my truck doesn’t even have mirrors in the sun shades or cruise control). Ford kind of forces you to buy the premium.
That sounds like a great deal! If you have any important questions about buying a Mustang call Tracy at Walker Ford she can give you the inside word on things.
Hope I spelled your wifes name correctly, apologies if not. You can let her know that I watched your video from Mildura, Victoria, Australia so she is now famous around the world. LOL. The reason I watched is my daughter has a 2017 mustang GT and she finally let her ol dad take it for a hoon on his own. What an amazing car. I may one up her and get a 2018 when they arrive here. Thanks, Mark.
mark drewett that’s so kind of you to take the time to comment. It’s actually spelled Lori but no big deal. Lori says hello and is excited you got to drive your daughter’s mustang! I think it’s time for you to get one!😉🏁👍🏻
I like Mustang , selling really well here in Australia . review is okay but too much the same about a version that's pretty standard ..with so many Mustang reviews out there it just needs to grab more ..but the reviewer does a good job .. just a little 'average' ..sorry ...
I'll keep a look out for it ..appreciate the heads up ..Mustang's are amazing , selling great RHD of course here in Australia since the Ford Falcon finished in 2016 after 56 continuous years . I own two beautiful Falcons , 2008 XR6 and a 2001 Futura and there is a direct link between Falcon and the awesome Mustang . . One day I'm very keen to own my first Mustang , apologies for boring comment , just similar and same type of review more accurate ..Now I've watched it all I also get where you were heading with this angle given this is on the "more affordable" range for the Stang ...Thanks ...Rod..
Mate, this was a good review. Please dont compare S550 Mustang with BF falcon or worst AU falcon. Other than the blue oval brand there is absolutely no relation with the Mustang.
Nobody on TH-cam does a better job reviewing and explaining the features on these late model Mustangs. Clear, Coherent, Intelligent, Enjoyable.
Michael Jordan that is so really awesome of you to say! You just made my morning!😊👍🏻
I most definitely concur!
Great video! I’m on a road of researching before I go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these GT’s. Fun to watch, thanks for sharing it!
your wife is so pretty dude. i smiled instantly when she came on screen. she has alot of positive energy. God bless you both!

Douglas Churaman yes sir! Just nice to know those who want an auto have a good option. I’m going manual just like you.
Douglas Churaman great perspective
Lori Raiti I thought so as well!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?

Mendicant Bias thanks for the input. I always like it when viewers can add info.😊👍🏻
The transmission behavior is changed by using drive (D) or sport (S).
Mendicant Bias yes sir
That grey is an awesome colour, I love the way it accents itself at different angle's. Very nice car, I have heard they really improved the auto transmission this time around.
Adam Randell it is probably one of the nicest automatics I’ve been in.
The Ford is strong with this one.
gen3v8 not sure about that. They are producing a lot of fun cars though.😉👍🏻
It looks like Darth Vader, so Ford /Force. Aussie Humor LOL. I actually listen attentively
gen3v8 you just made my night! Thank you for helping me laugh!😂

another awesome job. Your wife seems very nice and seems to know her car stuff !
That is so awesome of you to say! I am truly blessed!
Great video about the new mustang GT . Please show more of the head lights on and trun signal's as well.
Thanks for the compliment and the feedback!
Just bought this exact car! It’s being shipped from across Canada to where I am ! I’m so excited !
Joe you should sell cars for Walker Ford! Love the muscle car reviews ! Love the Mustang. Great review! Who is the guy in the back seat??
NHseacoast I really appreciate the compliment! That is Mark he works for Walker Ford. Stay tuned for more to come!😊👍🏻
Now this 2018 Mustang GT 10-speed is terrific and your wife enjoys it
It is a slick shifting car! She had a blast!
Nice review on The basics . I like it
Larry Hernandez thank you for your kind words and for saying that!
What’s the sticker on this GT?
Good touch with Lori! You guys are a good match ! Good review. I still like the way my ZO6 pulls through the gears but have always loved the sound of the Mustangs.
Price on it at Walker Ford is $33,000. We really appreciate your compliments. Oh that Z06 I'm sure is insane! Thank you so much for watching!
19:47 you got Sammy the Bull in the back seat 🙃🙃
Great review joe👍
Like the look on your wife’s face when you accelerated
Joe could you please tell me why on some reviews I’ve seen some mustangs have gauges in the air vents on the dash some don’t.
I’m looking forward to your review in the premium model mustang.
Jim ......Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Jim 671467 I really appreciate your great compliments. The Mustangs with the gauges have the Performance pack. So glad you enjoyed the video!
Jim 671467 😊
Is your wife thinking of getting a Mustang? My wife loves her 2018 EcoBoost. Amazing car.
padistedor we are toying with the idea! Stay tuned to her driving it!😊👍🏻
This will be my dream vehicle to own Joe.
V8 firepower.
Best review ever thanks for all the info. Planning to trade my 2015 EcoBoost for 2019 Gt
I have never owned a manual vehicle before but the Bullitt is tempting me to go the darkside
Don't test drive one because it will drag you all the way over.
Great review, hopefully you will do one on 2019 Stang GT.
It is coming very soon so please stay tuned! I have a Bullitt in transit!
love this car, wanted to buy one but that tick issue is scary
Thank you so for sharing your input and perspective on that! I appreciate you watching!
Nice review! Does that 10 Speed auto have a manual override ?
Thank you for the compliment! Yes it does! Thank you for watching1
Raiti's Rides thanks !
@@stephendibari7704 Yes sir! Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Holy fuck, it’s now the Mustang channel.
Anonymous User I don’t think I would go that far. Look through the videos tab. I have a VARIETY of cars. Thank you for watching. 😊👍🏻
I was thinking about getting the base 2018 GT and adding a different sound system/Apple CarPlay.
That sounds like a good plan!
Those are skinny tires for 460 hp! Thank God I have PP1, MagneRide & Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S on my 2018 manual GT convertible. Those wheels were optional on the 2015-17 V6...
You have your Mustang GT optioned the way that I would do it!
I also have the 401A package with the digital dash and the Safe and Smart package with adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring and the Active Exhaust; it sounds glorious! Oh I forgot to mention the color, it is the new Royal Crimson red (metallic burgundy), the car is really gorgeous and a head turner!
Kheireddine El-Ahdab well done! Congrats on your new Pony!
If I couldn't get a 350 for a good price, I would get this one at the premium level.
amill1563 it’s a great car!
Have you reviewed a golf r? Would be nice to see your take compared to the focus rs.
I still need to drive one but here you go:
th-cam.com/video/d7iYhl1G76I/w-d-xo.html
Raiti's Rides Thanks!! Man that interior of the golf r is amazing, would love that in my st.
Mr Valenzuela yeah they did a great job!
I Wish the 2020 Mustang GT 10 Speed Auto Came in Bullitt Green.
You are not alone with that thought!
Touche'. (smile)
As a non American I need to ask, were the old school Mustangs and other muscle cars from the 60s and 70s typically manual or automatic?
They were both! If you wanted the fastest you went manual.
Joe, not to many talk about Stang Tires. If I blow one out how much for a new set for a GT,?$$$$?
NHseacoast it depends on the brand and how sticky they are but I would say around $650.
Review SUVs mid size sedans all the mainstream vehicles please
Anderson Rodriguez yes sir! I’m working on it!
Raiti's Rides thank you !!!

Storn totally understand and it makes sense.
So i ended up getting a 2016 scion frs rs 2.0 . Just gotta learn stick now lol
Congrats on your FRS! It is a great car and perfect to learn stick on!
Would take this over the camarón love the sound and is gonna b more reliable than a GM product
Anderson Rodriguez it has a great sound!
until the aluminium transmission forks bust ..too many are doing it . love mustangs but they have to fix that quickly .
Rodney McGiveron I mean If it was co develop with GM not surprise theirvwngine nd transmissions are made of dust
I might get this GT Premium or the Dodge Charger Daytona. I will have to test drive them both.
Dennis G highly recommend! Good luck hunting!😊👍🏻
Thanks, I really like the Purple Daytona color but the Black Mustang looks good too.
Dennis G those are a couple tough choices.
Okay which one was faster the Camaro when you were on vacation or the Mustang you just reviewed
Seat of the pants feel goes to the mustang. I would like to take them to the strip.
Raiti's Rides that makes two of us
Let's do it! :-)
Raiti's Rides in my wildest dreams lol
kg the great one that would really make for great video!
Couldn't be happier with my 2019 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack 1 and 401a package (12 speaker Bang and Olufsen with the built in sub and digital cluster). I purchased it in Magnetic Metallic- similar to this one. The looks I get from people are priceless. Its as if I was driving a new Aston Martin...….
My 2020 GT is identical to that one
Damn Stock is nice. Sounds good.
jrag1000 ford hit the nail on the head with the exhaust!
First time seeing this review. Laurie (bad spelling? sorry) should give her take more often 'cause a lot of us would not drive something our wives or girlfriend hates.
Very true especially when they consider the price lol
I've got youtubers that have had issues with the manual trans and ticking with the engine. Never buy the first year.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective!
It annoys me that my 2017 base Tacoma has twice the screen of the mustang gt (my truck doesn’t even have mirrors in the sun shades or cruise control). Ford kind of forces you to buy the premium.
I totally agree with you but the good news is on the new Mustangs it is n't like that anymore.
💪🏽MUSCLE🇺🇲
No Google Play infotainment system
kg the great one yeah you have to get the premium.
Is a new 2018 auto base pp for $36,300 a good deal?
That sounds like a great deal! If you have any important questions about buying a Mustang call Tracy at Walker Ford she can give you the inside word on things.
Does it have active exhaust
ilag360 not this GT.
He doesn't mention which gear ratio he's driving.
DogDaybreak it’s just a standard GT.
10 speed 😲
kg the great one what will they think of next! 😉
Raiti's Rides madness
kg the great one I remember when 6 speeds were a big deal! 😂
Raiti's Rides I remember my sister's 97 ws6 trans am had a 6 speed i thought that was amazing
It's crazy how technology has changed the automobile! She doesn't still have that car does she?

@@RaitisRides Oh, my apologies.
Manual or gtfo
bk138 ST at least people have options.😊👍🏻
Raiti's Rides i hear you, but if you're gonna drive a sports car, invest in the whole experience. My mom has an 01 BMW Z3 in auto, it makes me sad
You don't want the manual - they are breaking forks... it's pretty well known now. Getrag skimped on quality and Ford did not test it enough.
bk138 ST I’m all about manual. That’s all I drive but I know there are people who prefer the automatic what whatever reason.
