Wrong side drive is odd. Glad you love it and you guys. America is different and like to see the back sit down when we launch. Go hard, keep in the lines and smoke the competition no matter the view. Im with electric 100%. Keep making all your amazing content! See you in San Diego!

I love my Star White GT Performance! It replaced a premium AWD. The power difference is like Whoa. It’s a ridiculously fast car from red light to red light. And just a nice daily driver. I’m a little girthy for the bolstered seats, but I get by. Great review! You have a new subscriber in me.
The most usefull part of any car review is the Jack test. My kids are tall, my wife is tall, I am tall so we need room all over the car. And yes this sadly means no small car for us. Hence, I hardly fit in the small EV's let alone the rest of my family. So Jack, Motorcycles.. Electric ones. There are hardly any that is up to par for our size. What is your go on that?
Surely Zero must have something to your liking. They have a dakarstyle model, I think. i remember trying one out over a year ago and I am 1 meter 90. It felt comfortable until I passed out comparing the price to range. To be honest, motorcycles are already very economical on fuel and batteries aren't quite there yet. Or it will be monstrously heavy or the range will be dissapointing. Actually if you're smart and your dinosaurburner still has some life in him, I'd wait a few more years to commit to EV. There is some exciting new batterytech coming. Ofcourse if your old diesel is end of lifetime then go right ahead!
I understand, why still many men want to drive a car that looks like a predator. But actually, I like the Tesla philosophy much more. You can be insanely quick, but it doesn't need to be aggressive or threatening or angry. For me, this is much more cool than that loud and cringy look-at-me cars. (BTW: Angry shouldn't be an emotion in traffic. Never leads to any good …)
Agree, I'm fortunate enough to have a model 3 and a 2010 DBS, both are obviously very different but also not shouty. These mad grills on new cars are really vile.
My favourite style of car is Asian cars. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cars look like they are toys or from science fiction anime which I used to watch in Arabic when I was a small child. My favourite-looking cars and buses by far are BYD's. The Dolphin and the new London buses are so lovely.
I think the haters hate how it's the quickest 0-60mph outside the gt500&even then on a non prepped surface? I'd bet on the mach e gt to win. Then it can actually sit 4 full size average adults comfortably, it can carry cargo easily enough. You can see out of it quite well. And of course it can run on sunshine, wind, hydro, geo thermal or nuclear. No gas guzzler can do that. Also they seem to forget the first ever coupe was a 6cyl weak little under powered car aimed at secretary's. Yes they even had commercials showing women driving them to the grocery stores back in the 60s. Plus the simple fact over 80% of all mustangs made didn't come with a v8 underhood. I uses to daily drive one with the 3.7 6cyl which ran 12s on radicals, low 13s on st tires it got 30+mpg hwy at 70+mph and cost me only 25k total. No gt of the time could match any of those figures brand new anyways. And anyone with issues about the mach e being a mustang? But accepts the mustang 2 as one. Well I just laugh. 😁
Yeah I think that is the real rub for the mustang folks. The fastest attainable mustang, is electric, and actually practical for day to day family life. Though growing up my mom drove a '65 mustang fastback and my dad drove a '71 camaro 😅 and we got along just fine, with lots of smiles!
I'm not sure what thses so called "diehards" are whining about, we've had a fox body a long time ago, and ive driven many newer gen 'stangs and having it as a crossover hatch is great. The ev looks good, is quick and the base cost is resonable (in this day and age). This is as much a mustang as the charger is a muscle car sedan. All the fans should be happy ford hasn't killed it of like all of their other sedans.
@@ThatUnfunGuy Not in the UK there hasn't. I think I read somewhere there were only 50 ever put on the roads here for research purposes. It wasn't available for the general public to purchase.
@@matpat2636 that doesn't make my comment less true. Plenty of cars have limited geographical released. The efficiency seems to have been horrible. And at this points it more common to make new models. I wouldn't wait around for a focus or fiesta, I think you'll be waiting forever.
The thing, to me, that makes the GT Performance Edition tempting/worth it if you have the money is the magnetic suspension. You don't get that on the standard GT, as it only comes on the GT PE. It makes the ride in the car MUCH better (and, frankly, the ride in the other trims is quite good). Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the speed too, but if that's ALL it was, the step up from the GT to the GT PE wouldn't be remotely worth it. (Full disclosure, I drive a Mach-E Premium AWD Extended range . . . if I could've found a GT for MSRP, I'd have bought it, but the GT PE was priced just a bit higher than I was willing to go.)
It's a station wagon. It's also an absolutely amazing vehicle to drive. Sure, slapping the "Mustang" name on it is polarizing. Calling it a "CUV" (a term I despise) is misleading at best. But it's still an amazing vehicle. They could have called it the Ford Focus Wagon GT-EV and people would be gawking of what an amazing vehicle it is saddled with a terrible name.
its deffinatly not a SW. the boot is far too short. more of a hatch back but too big of a vehicle to call it that too, not big enough for an SUV, so we are stuck at the poorly named cross-over tag and even at that it is on the lager side.
Not that I recommend it but I think the keypad feature is great because you can hand your key to the landlord, sleep in the car and not be "in control of a motor vehicle" So, great if you've had one too many pops in the sunny countryside and have a night to recover 😎👌
At 11:00 he says that no one's tuned into AM radio since the 70's. WRONG! I ONLY listen to AM radio! Talk radio is found almost exclusively on the AM band and that's what millions of people listen to when in their cars. I learn so much from talk radio. I won't consider buying a new car without an AM radio.
Excellent! Not particularly my type of car. Have a nice, dull MG ZS on order & generally steer clear of thugs - but REALLY enjoyed that review! Such a compelling, enthusiastic & informative presentation! And great marketing busting rant by the way. 🤣👏👏👏
I would definitely have the MG ZS over the mach e. ford's first ev has reliability problems, presides i don't think i could ever be comfortable with a muscle car name being used on a family suv, wheras the MG ZS has integrity
Test drove the standard range. It Was nice but felt way too big for English roads. The ride was firm and frankly a little jiggly, luckily I didn't encounter any potholes! I went on to buy a model 3 because they were the same price ish at the time and I don't regret it. The normal version does not get close to the expected range either. I think it is a mixture of sheer weight (it is a big beast) and lack of a heat pump.
The UI is being updated/replaced for 2023 in ALL models, 2021-22 and will be in the 2023's. I heard that from the horse's mouth but have no idea what it will look like.
Big touch-screen buttons? Yay! Touch screens are a really stupid idea when you're actually driving, but if you have to have them you need a nice big target to aim at! Peering down at the screen to find the tiny contact patch then steer your finger to it whilst on even a perfect smooth road is fiddly, distracting, and so dangerous...
Got excited when I saw "GT". Excitement didn't last long. This is more like Mach-E "Performance model". I wonder if they'll make a non-suv EV Mustang ever 😞
@@Boomtendo4tw the Mach E in the video is the preformance edition. the tell tail it the rims. The plain GT has different rims again. I love the way it handels, it even gives our C8 Vette a run for its money of the mark. 0-100kmh in about 3.5 seconds.
It's good that the legacy car makers are finally making a few EVs (and they are struggling to get enough batteries to make more than a few tens of thousands of them). But the Tesla Model 3 Performance is 20% quicker, 20% lighter, and far more advanced in terms of automotive engineering. The Tesla Model 3 Performance drives more like a BMW M3, while the regular Model 3 drives like a regular BMW 330i, so there are differences in the Performance versions of Teslas. Differences discerning performance drivers can feel.
the model 3 is also low to the ground hugs you around corners and you feel the road more like a proper sports car, the mach e is great if you want a quick family hauler with a slapped on legacy sports car automotive brand plastered on it. so you can pretend to drive a muscle car, when picking up the kids.
Can we stop saying that the screen is 'fine' on a £70k car. It should be as responsive and as up to date as any new technology on the market. I mean to be that guy but Tesla are the only ones to actually do this. Great review anyway Jack, but I think the Model Y performance has my money if I was to choose.
Just point out the first mechanical Mustang was a WW2 fighter plane with a 21 litre 12 cylinder engine and the V8 mustang car is a bit puny compared to that
I like the addition of Jack to the channel and some outburst comments fine but some such as glassing someone, not funny Keep up the good work all at FC
6'5" Jack makes big car look normal... Does that mahoosive screen come with a night mode (properly off, like the old SAAB dash)? I see a lot of cars driving at night on unlit roads with the driver facing a backlit screen that must be messing with their eyes' dark adaption - and I'm not talking about morons who fix a satnav to the windscreen right in front of them, but anyone with infotainment screen and maybe satnav in the driver's display that is still on a light daytime background.
The Tesla Model Y you reviewed and passed off as camper, etc. comes in at 450 HP for the extended range version. It throws you into the back of the seat without even trying.
That is to protect the batteries from overheating. It is software controlled and may not exist for the LFP batteries to be used in the 2023 and will also not be an issue in the Shelby version.
I don't struggle with the Mustang bit. I struggle with the fact it's called SUV. It's a cross over at best. Same with the ioniq5. They keep calling that SUV too. I guess cause some people only wake on that model designation?
This was filmed in Britain where anything taller than a VW Golf gets called an SUV. Actually many of the VW "SUVs" are only about 4" (10cm) taller than my Golf.
"Before we begin" =disrespectful to the viewers. Pleases you can't say that it's "stupid questions". People have their consearns and I think we trust you to correct or inform us, not to insult us please.
Nice car review, but what i'll been wating for, for a long time , are cargobike reviews like this! From the Urban Arrow Shorty to the Tender (we are developing an ambulance for Fastivals and Oktoberfest on it), the Trio, Douze and Winther Bikes, the Velove, Radkutsche and Cargocycle, the Muli, Stork, TreGo, Chike, B&B, sblocs aaand don't forget the Bullitt. and while you at it, mabe promote then idea of free cargobikes. You can borrow a cargobike for up to 3 days for FREE. It's a thing in over 150 citys in Germany and Austria.
Alright Jack me old mucka? One of my radiators in the dining room isn't heating up properly. Would you be able to do me a quote for a replacement? Thanks.
Great video as always from Jack, really informative and entertaining... But unfortunately yet another boring, big, heavy and expensive electric SUV. When will these car manufacturers realise that we need more small, light and affordable electric cars? Also another pet peeve of mine, is massive touchscreens in cars... They look ugly, aren't practical and are dangerous. You have to take your eyes off the road to be able to use them, unlike physical controls that you can operate by feel alone. You aren't allowed to use your phone whilst driving for this specific reason... But using what is essentially a tablet is fine. How does that make sense?
Every cool car now is an SUV of some sort. That's because it´s hard to squeeze a thick battery pack under the floor without making an SUV out of everything. You can see a trend now is the SUV that has no ground clearance for a pothole or a curb, let alone off-road work.
Partly true, but they were making Fiat 500e and Chevy sparky v in 2014, with new batteries that they would have had 200 mi range., Which would be a little short for the range obsessed climate. Chevy Bolt is small by USA standards, 260 mile range.
Tesla makes two sedans. I don’t think the ID3 is an SUV. The new VW people mover thing isn’t a SUV. An SUV was about ground clearance and 4wd. I don’t follow how those things affect battery position as neither effect cabin configuration. A battery skateboard can fit under just about and car chassis. EVs have more SUVs because car companies are in the middle of a marketing push for SUVs.
Ford does that heavy steering with their big rim models. My S-Max has the 20 inch ones and it feels like that, it seems odd but I like heavy steering, my Kia Sedona on the other hand has a ridiculously light/soft steering and it feels too weak, lazy and floaty for me, I can turn it with my pinky finger and cant feel a thing on the road
Interesting review.... Shame none of us can actually buy an EV without waiting 6 months plus... As none of the manufacturers can actually build them fast enough.
Why is it taking Ford so long to give us a e-focus/fiesta?
Ford is late to the EV game so they have limited batteries available. It's more profitable to ford focus on high end cars and trucks.
So true!
Absolutely mate. Fiesta electric with 200 mile range, for 20k would be the perfect ev
@@drewcipher896 also they are pretty inefficient with power consumption which leads to a greater amount of batteries needed per vehicle
@@bal20 that’s pretty much impossible with supply and battery costs atm

Right! I think this one is worse than the original one which was already bad enough
Also why the long nose, if you have room for a frunk you could have made the nose shorter
A radiator is nice for your battery thermal management system, so as long as it’s actually there, I don’t mind.
@@highlorddarkstar as Jack pointed out the actual battery cooling radiator openings are below the fake grill

It being a crossover is puzzling

In 'muica AM radio is still used for news, sports and talk radio. I'm not kidding.

I’d love a Mach-e but will probably get a MY for next car because there just aren’t enough EA charging stations down in south Florida.
Can we stop saying that the screen is 'fine' on a £70k car. It should be as responsive and as up to date as any new technology on the market. I mean to be that guy but Tesla are the only ones to actually do this. Great review anyway Jack, but I think the Model Y performance has my money if I was to choose.
Just point out the first mechanical Mustang was a WW2 fighter plane with a 21 litre 12 cylinder engine and the V8 mustang car is a bit puny compared to that
It's an understatement to say that the mustang fighter was sleek, the fat mustang, not as much.
and then there was the 1984 Fox body 4 banger. I dont hear any of the mustang fan bois getting upset at that.
I like the addition of Jack to the channel and some outburst comments fine but some such as glassing someone, not funny
Keep up the good work all at FC
Anyone else over those massive tv screens in every new car?
£70k for a Ford? The world has gone mad.
6'5" Jack makes big car look normal...
Does that mahoosive screen come with a night mode (properly off, like the old SAAB dash)? I see a lot of cars driving at night on unlit roads with the driver facing a backlit screen that must be messing with their eyes' dark adaption - and I'm not talking about morons who fix a satnav to the windscreen right in front of them, but anyone with infotainment screen and maybe satnav in the driver's display that is still on a light daytime background.
Subtle product placement in the frunk Jack 😄
what was that I missed it!
I was thinking about Kryton for some reason!
@@aaronhorn6849 Just all the video cases (or books, not sure which) with Robert's name plastered all over them.
Lovely car! A little out of my price range though!
The Mustang is a great EV. All the more appealing now that Polestar have delayed all orders until October!!! My July delivery is now October. 😞
Thanks
The Tesla Model Y you reviewed and passed off as camper, etc. comes in at 450 HP for the extended range version. It throws you into the back of the seat without even trying.
Now that's an intro!
Aaaah Jack, you are the consumate car tester.
I've seen many reviews show that the GT only gives you 5 seconds of peak power before being throttled. That doesn't sound like a performance car
I thought that's what this video was gonna be about
That is to protect the batteries from overheating. It is software controlled and may not exist for the LFP batteries to be used in the 2023 and will also not be an issue in the Shelby version.
Hay I like am fm radio and having buttons are a big plus in a ev
Drone shot, 30 mph painted on the road, in car shot, driving at 36-37 mph. Ooooopsie!!
Prepare to explain to every guest how to open the door with the tiny lever 😅
Wait... Is the GT smaller, or is Jack just a massive lad! Every other reviewer looks tiny next to the Mach-E 🤣
Ha. The latter!
Intro : We sure the car has anger issues ? 😂
I'm leaving a like just for the opening.
I don't struggle with the Mustang bit. I struggle with the fact it's called SUV.
It's a cross over at best. Same with the ioniq5. They keep calling that SUV too.
I guess cause some people only wake on that model designation?
This was filmed in Britain where anything taller than a VW Golf gets called an SUV. Actually many of the VW "SUVs" are only about 4" (10cm) taller than my Golf.
@@MrDuncl they do it on every car channel, here too. (NL) mostly cause press info had that depicted by the manufacturer.
Love your work 👍
"Before we begin" =disrespectful to the viewers. Pleases you can't say that it's "stupid questions". People have their consearns and I think we trust you to correct or inform us, not to insult us please.
Oh, calm down, ffs.....!!
What's with this constantly looking to be offended schtick these days...
Nice car review, but what i'll been wating for, for a long time , are cargobike reviews like this! From the Urban Arrow Shorty to the Tender (we are developing an ambulance for Fastivals and Oktoberfest on it), the Trio, Douze and Winther Bikes, the Velove, Radkutsche and Cargocycle, the Muli, Stork, TreGo, Chike, B&B, sblocs aaand don't forget the Bullitt. and while you at it, mabe promote then idea of free cargobikes. You can borrow a cargobike for up to 3 days for FREE. It's a thing in over 150 citys in Germany and Austria.
A big jet fighter - it is ballistic indeed.
Alright Jack me old mucka? One of my radiators in the dining room isn't heating up properly. Would you be able to do me a quote for a replacement? Thanks.
im on jacks side haha
Dude is a giant.
I like the Mach E. If I didn't like the EV6 a bit more I might have bought one.
Great video as always from Jack, really informative and entertaining... But unfortunately yet another boring, big, heavy and expensive electric SUV. When will these car manufacturers realise that we need more small, light and affordable electric cars?
Also another pet peeve of mine, is massive touchscreens in cars... They look ugly, aren't practical and are dangerous. You have to take your eyes off the road to be able to use them, unlike physical controls that you can operate by feel alone. You aren't allowed to use your phone whilst driving for this specific reason... But using what is essentially a tablet is fine. How does that make sense?
Every cool car now is an SUV of some sort. That's because it´s hard to squeeze a thick battery pack under the floor without making an SUV out of everything. You can see a trend now is the SUV that has no ground clearance for a pothole or a curb, let alone off-road work.
Nah it’s because SUV are the most popular because that’s all that the big manufacturers make.
Partly true, but they were making Fiat 500e and Chevy sparky v in 2014, with new batteries that they would have had 200 mi range., Which would be a little short for the range obsessed climate. Chevy Bolt is small by USA standards, 260 mile range.
Tesla makes two sedans. I don’t think the ID3 is an SUV. The new VW people mover thing isn’t a SUV. An SUV was about ground clearance and 4wd. I don’t follow how those things affect battery position as neither effect cabin configuration. A battery skateboard can fit under just about and car chassis. EVs have more SUVs because car companies are in the middle of a marketing push for SUVs.
Wasn't there an update for the UI to have more usability?
Just going to say glassing people and throwing eggs are on very different ends of the naughty scale.
Ford does that heavy steering with their big rim models. My S-Max has the 20 inch ones and it feels like that, it seems odd but I like heavy steering, my Kia Sedona on the other hand has a ridiculously light/soft steering and it feels too weak, lazy and floaty for me, I can turn it with my pinky finger and cant feel a thing on the road
haha @0:49 I hit the like button! Thank you.
worth watching JS purely for entertainment.....music cheered me right up.
The car.. I hear the range figures are a bit iffy
The rang figures are actually spot on, the GTPE just has range issues due to 2 large traction motors, and fatter tiers.
"Very angry car"very ironic ! 🌟
that's a full size suv? must be a huge guy.
The Mach-E is pretty cool for a Ford Focus hatchback EV.
Hey... I've traded cars off because the AM section sucked so bad, they wouldn't pick up a station 100 feet away !
America is SO quaint!
AM......?!?!?
Legendary
Interesting review.... Shame none of us can actually buy an EV without waiting 6 months plus... As none of the manufacturers can actually build them fast enough.
.... gives you time to save up the enormous amount they cost though, dude...!
Love sitting it though.
Is that Ubly?
