I know for sure you guys get Focuses, Fiestas, etc. But those are rare where I'm from, so yeah either way, seeing a Mustang with a euro license plate is very weird lol
I owned a '91 Mustang LX 5.0 and currently own an '07 Mustang GT. When he said that, I knew exactly what he meant. I love Mustangs, but boy are they squirrelly on wet roads.
Early Boss 429s were squirrely on dry pavement what are you talkin about it took some ability to drive that car I'm sure wasn't meant for high school girls
I have seen many reviews about the mustang since it's the car I want. Most italians love the mustang and are very fine with the plastic whatever, also the price is juat unbelievable. So yeah, I believe and I am pretty sure 90% of italians approve the muatang gt

It makes me feel proud to hear that my beloved Mustang is a hit with Europeans. Tom's right, there's something special about this car and it has been this way for a long long time.
sir,what a perfect command of English you have! I smiled ALL the way through this video,as an American and I am happy for the friendship that our citizens have for one another!
Alot of people practice their English by watching American movies/tv. I guess he grew up watching the Sopranos or something he has a New York accent to me
I just love the look on his face when he experiences classic American V-8 torque (around 8:35) -- when he is accelerating from 1000 rpm in 3rd. There just is no replacement for displacement!! The V8 will always own my motor-heart.
Even without the SC it makes more torque....regardless my point is forget American, German, etc......there is nothing like a V8 period. Plenty of great ones on either side of the pond.
@@senecaparker hes not wrong, if the left was that worried you think obama would have ocean front property? Im not saying humans have not contributed to climate change, its just not as much as people believe
Tom was born and raised in Germany and currently lives about a 1/2 hour from the Nurburgring. He learned English from watching Sopranos and Seinfeld (seriously... ) resulting in his unique accent.
hahaha that's great. I was going to say, he sounds more like he's from Boston than germany. I pick up on the german accent in some areas, and the american sitcom in others. I'm a german-american here, btw.
I'm European and I love this reviewer. Finally a European car reviewer that is reviewing an American car without being some sissy that constantly complains about hard plastics and performance specs or fuel economy and just enjoys the car for what it is. I love how this reviewer gets it. This is not just a car. It captures a state of mind. The essence of American culture. It brings the fun aspects of America to Europe and for that it deserves all the love. Amazing reviewer! He's a keeper. I also like that he can speak English without a terrible accent. I've also learned to speak English from American TV and I speak it with an American accent.
""he can speak English without a terrible accent"" lol everyone else (americans) were finding it hilarious that his spoken English sounds like a very specific regional dialect, and not one that many other Americans necessarily like very much. He sounds vaguely like "working-class North-East", which could be anything from Northern New Jersey, to Boston Massachusetts... but probably closest to somewhere in a NYC-Boston corridor. what southerners would call a 'Cliche Yankee' accent. Some people find it a bit brash and arrogant, associated with a loud-mouth braggadocio attitude. The most common "boring, normal" American accent is actually something that has no specific location, but could be described as 'generic midwest' or 'TV-accent' (california). I found it strange because I'm from NYC and i honestly didn't believe he was German, even after saying so; it took a few minutes until i could hear the underlying pattern of speech that gave away that English wasn't his first language.
Someone said he watched a lot of Sopranos. Could be because of that? I speak with a generic American TV accent, like you'd find on most TV shows. Especially those produced in Vancouver, Canada. Many of the shows I like are made there. But most of the actors are American and they speak that generic California accent you've mentioned. I can also speak with an English accent. I was at a highschool specialized in English. Most classes were in English. That's how they taught us to speak English in school. Even the teachers for American English and American History had English accents. If I don't try to speak with a specific American/English accent, I just stumble in my speech and stutter. It's weird cuz when I try to speak in my native Romanian accent I'm useless at speaking in English but when I try to do a native American/English accent, I speak fluently. Maybe this presenter has found the same to be true.
"Finally a European car reviewer that is reviewing an American car without being some sissy that constantly complains about hard plastics and performance specs or fuel economy and just enjoys the car for what it is." THANK YOU! So many times I hear whining about how American cars are inferior to European cars and all that noise from people that miss the entire point. American cars are different because they're built with different sensibilities in mind. It's like a person that owns a tiger bitching about it because it's not a lion.
I'm from Canada and rather tired of the low quality, high priced pieces of crap they call cars here. The plastics DO suck. As does reliability, economy, power, looks, design. There hasn't been a car from here that I have liked since before I could drive back in the 80's. Small wonder why I prefer imports. I'd rather an old Trabby over a Rustang ANY day.
Great video. This guy is great. I can tell you from experience of my time stationed in Germany, my mustang got attention like I was in a super car. I literally parked next to a Ferrari F430 in Germany and Germans were posing next to my car and taking selfies. It was really unexpected and weird to me lol.
Yeah, it's were the best at everything mentality coming from a bunch of fat, loud, useless people that is annoying. There is plenty to love about the United States.
He was probably near an American base. I'm stationed in Germany and the closer you get to a base the more "American" the vehicle selection on the road becomes. To include dumb asses who bring American trucks to Europe... god knows how they find places to park...
Bert Bot hmm that's interesting. I never thought of that. I mean I know American cars do get exported to various countries but I feel like that truck is the one car you wouldn't find anywhere else but in Mercia. Like you said though must've been some guy who had to export that truck himself.
I live in Germany and where I live I know atleast two Germans who own a Dodge Ram. Some people just like them. I also know a guy in my village who uses Jeep Wrangler. American cars arent so uncommon anymore.
mike roma rams are quite common though. silverados are rare, just like hiluxes with the titan v8, stangs are "common", camaros not so much. some dodge challengers are chargers. its sad because germans think their cars are superior.. they arent. coming from a mechanic living in germany, owning a bmw and a 2011 camaro ss
This guy is awesome. He not only made me watch the video 3 times because he's so entertaining, but he convinced me that my next car will be a Mustang. Let's see more of Tom!
KEVIN MANSFIELD well it also costed twice as much and was way harder to mod due to the tiny ass clearances German cars have. Not to mention mustang is wayyyyyyyy easier to work on. Hands down. Dont get me wrong I DESPISE mustangs. But driving one sure looks fun! And i like the looks of any other vehicle than the stang.
That chuckle he gets when he does something like rev it burnout is one of the amazing things about a rear drive, throaty sounding car. There's just something primal about it that can't be beat.
Five liters of democracy is accurate. Many Europeans (and Americans) who turn up their noses in disgust at an American car with a V8 faun over a Mercedes-Benz or BMW with one.... because only the rich can afford them. It is the democrazation of power the muscle car represents that they hate.
RemixedVoice you may be right but why is it that anytime someone says the word "colonialism" they instantly think "America"? Like really... the American colonies belonged to England, not America itself. The colonies separating and forming their own country was actually ANTI colonial. I may sound angry, I'm not. But what I don't get is why has America all of the sudden become the private joke that ALL other nations chuckle about openly? And don't say trump because it's been happening before that...
Mustang is very popular here is Australia also. Sold 6208 last year & so far to date this year 3772. The main issue here in Aussie is getting supply of RHD versions of the car. Is leading its class in sales by a country mile.
It looks like the changes they did from my previous generation Mustang, was to accommodate the cup holders in a way so you can still shift gears, but that came at the expensive of a shorter padded arm rest. They should just a have a side hinge arm rest with a flip out cup holders so you can still have storage space and hold your drinks while still being able to shift and having a normal padded arm rest when no cups are in use. Probably the best compromise you can get if you want cup holders in a Mustang.
grabir01 It's even worse for right hand drive cars. Cup holders are still on the right hand side so your elbow ends up IN the cup holder. When there is a cup in there you can't shift gears!
Zach Morris yea it's decent in the wife's '14 Jetta is decent, the Ford F-250 at work, it's odd to steer also with the center seat console down, it feels a little claustrophobic actually.
Love it, I'm Australian and I feel the same way.. We have a v8 brain here, with both Ford and GM shutting plants here this is on of the few v8 rear wheel drive vehicles. I must confess, I bought a EcoBoost, (soon to be tuned up to 260-270kw). For me I was actually going to avoid the Mustang if I didnt get the v8, but then drove the EcoBoost and it still gave me a grin from ear to ear. My reason was simply cost of fuel and as I bought it for work, I didnt want to spend huge sums of money on Petrol. Simply, the car is beautiful , its lines, its shape everything.. I agree the central plastic section needs a softer touch but Im 6;3" so my elbow is on the soft leather :) Anyway, really enjoyed your charismatic performance.. good to see the Mustang getting some love. Not sure what your sentiment is on the 2 star safety rating, I presonally dont care as I dont have rear passengers and dont need silly electronics. Anyway great video, I'll be sure to watch more of yours in the future. PS> I visited Bavaria, I wish I had such beautiful scenery to drive through.,,, oh and the beer.. Send me over some Augestiner Brau!
Yea, same in Canada. Sure ain't gonna get as many looks as some other cars, but plenty of people turn to see the car. Same when I'm on the road or just walking about, always appreciate a good looking vehicle.
Andri Ordiales Definitions change overtime. With the real muscle cars dying off in the 80’s. A lot of people now considers the modern v8 Mustang, Camaro, Challenger as “American muscle” cars.
Jake Pitman He means one of the American dialects of English. Just like those from England speak the Queen's English, we speak American English. Then just as a Brit can have a Cockney accent. We have Jersey/NY accent, and so on. Anyways he probably learned his English from an American ex-pat from NY/NJ living in Germany.
Here in France, it was kind of the same: Ford imported a lot more 2.3 Ecoboosts than GTs because they thought very few people would buy the V8. Instead, while the 2.3 sold well, the 5.0 sold VERY well to the point that there was a lot of delay between the order and the receiving of the car because they didn't import enough GT versions and needed time to ship some to Europe. I don't remember the exact ratio of 2.3 sales to 5.0 sales but it was around the same than in Germany, it outnumbered Ford's expectations. Anyway, great video, pleasant to watch and damn those shots reveal the beauty of the car! Also imported Dodge RAM buddy @ 4:43
sedrick campbell Yea I love em too. I hadda pause a minute in to comment lol. Pointless money spending American stupid fun..... I hope he enjoyed a little bit of our culture, as it can't be anything but in your face! My moms from Germany, I've been there too, it was an interesting case of the grass is greener.... where I stayed was near a shop that was into American cars, and I had to chuckle a little over seeing them get wide eyes over a mid 80s Impala. those things used to be everywhere here !!
Loved that shot where he passes a Dodge pickup. As others have said: So wonderful to hear a Non-American so excited by this car. So great to see a review where the driver "gets it".
When this cool German knew the Mustang actually came out in 1964 1/2, then my respect for him went to 110%, cause 90% of Americans, even Mustang fans don't know this FACT. April or June 1964 I saw my 1st mustang coupe, a red one with the V-8 badge on the front fender, damn I wanted one,but not as bad as 63 1/2 white Ford Galaxie 2 door hard top fast back with it's 427 precision whirring, clicking beside my 54 Ford at a red light ha; what an awesome,beautiful and sounding car it was.
The Mustang was also initially considered a "secretary's car" due to it's lackluster performance. That definitely changed with the relationship between Shelby and Ford.
There is a lot of muscle cars fans in Europe, unfortunately the fascist European socialism makes them BRUTALLY expensive, the cheapest 5.0L Mustang in Croatia costs 80.000€ and that's not even all, you have to pass the registration(EVERY year) and insure it after that and then on top of that pay car tax for the next 10 years on it. And if once you decide to sell it, the buyer again will pay ANOTHER 5% in used car tax. And you silly Yanks though you have beat the fascism in Europe lol...
i dont love socialism more but what choice i have ?? I cant quit everything and move from this country so easily. And yeah taxes over taxes, thats what it is when u live in germany... My actuell car is a 2.0 tdi btw ^^ and the insurence and tax together for a year is like 900€. A mustang would be cheaper but yeah the fuel prices are the problem for me.
Not a big fan of Mustangs as they're so common here you don't even notice them but the way this dude talks about them, it really made me want to drive one. 5 LITERS OF DEMOCRACY BABY! USA! USA! USA! I love your guys' channel.
Dead on about driving American style. Haha. When he was talking about his arm position with his elbow I was thinking, "I don't think I've ever put my right hand on the side of the wheel since my driving test." And then he stuck his arm back in what he called the American style exactly how I drive. Haha.
No - the lack of IRS in Mustangs have always been a function of cost. Ford had even prototype'd 60's mustangs with IRS, but kept them out due to cost. I was just responding to the fact that most journalists claim the 2015 Mustang is the first with IRS when there were IRS mustangs produced before by Ford.
Every Cobra 2003-04 for sure had stock IRS. Obviously the designgroup had no idea what the suspension group was doing the same time. That's might also the reason why the stock Cobra such a high ride height :P
It is actually 4951cc which is 4.951 liters and that rounds up to a 5.0L. Fords old Windsor 5.0 was smaller than 4951cc so it would round down to a 4.9L
I agree with both of you guys. The exact displacement only matters in performance benchmarks. The 5.0 is being used though for marketing since the first 5.0 was so famous in the 80s

Martin Lamoza hahahahahaha
I was looking for this comment hahahaha
Well Bill Burr is partly german ;-) Burr is a german name.
Alot of people practice their English by watching American movies/tv. I guess he grew up watching the Sopranos or something he has a New York accent to me
I just love the look on his face when he experiences classic American V-8 torque (around 8:35) -- when he is accelerating from 1000 rpm in 3rd. There just is no replacement for displacement!! The V8 will always own my motor-heart.
Craig Martell 8:45*
As compared to German V-8 torque? My 5.5 liter surcharged Merc alters the earths rotation when you get on it.
And what's the price point that new?
MrSnowford supercharged key word there so what's your point?
Even without the SC it makes more torque....regardless my point is forget American, German, etc......there is nothing like a V8 period. Plenty of great ones on either side of the pond.
My guy is more patriotic than have of the US

The German needs his own show !
Too much BS talking, not enough spec.s and real info...
Tom was born and raised in Germany and currently lives about a 1/2 hour from the Nurburgring. He learned English from watching Sopranos and Seinfeld (seriously... ) resulting in his unique accent.
That explains why he says "Boss" the way he does.
i thought this was a joke until right after reading this he says "It doesn't even mattah." at 13:03
hahaha that's great. I was going to say, he sounds more like he's from Boston than germany. I pick up on the german accent in some areas, and the american sitcom in others. I'm a german-american here, btw.
This review alone must have sold an extra 20,000 mustangs in Germany. Your review pure ecstasy.
You gotta love this guy!
“I love Americans! They invented basketball!”
As the Canadian viewers silently shake their heads.
John I cringed
Canadians: “We’re sorry, you’re not informed enough.”
He lived in american most of his life, and died in the US. I guess Canadian-American would be a better way to put it
to be fair, Canadians are just Americans made out of snow.
@@OttonFilms No he was Canadian.
I'm European and I love this reviewer. Finally a European car reviewer that is reviewing an American car without being some sissy that constantly complains about hard plastics and performance specs or fuel economy and just enjoys the car for what it is. I love how this reviewer gets it. This is not just a car. It captures a state of mind. The essence of American culture. It brings the fun aspects of America to Europe and for that it deserves all the love. Amazing reviewer! He's a keeper. I also like that he can speak English without a terrible accent. I've also learned to speak English from American TV and I speak it with an American accent.
""he can speak English without a terrible accent""
lol everyone else (americans) were finding it hilarious that his spoken English sounds like a very specific regional dialect, and not one that many other Americans necessarily like very much.
He sounds vaguely like "working-class North-East", which could be anything from Northern New Jersey, to Boston Massachusetts... but probably closest to somewhere in a NYC-Boston corridor. what southerners would call a 'Cliche Yankee' accent. Some people find it a bit brash and arrogant, associated with a loud-mouth braggadocio attitude.
The most common "boring, normal" American accent is actually something that has no specific location, but could be described as 'generic midwest' or 'TV-accent' (california).
I found it strange because I'm from NYC and i honestly didn't believe he was German, even after saying so; it took a few minutes until i could hear the underlying pattern of speech that gave away that English wasn't his first language.
Someone said he watched a lot of Sopranos. Could be because of that?
I speak with a generic American TV accent, like you'd find on most TV shows. Especially those produced in Vancouver, Canada. Many of the shows I like are made there. But most of the actors are American and they speak that generic California accent you've mentioned.
I can also speak with an English accent. I was at a highschool specialized in English. Most classes were in English. That's how they taught us to speak English in school. Even the teachers for American English and American History had English accents.
If I don't try to speak with a specific American/English accent, I just stumble in my speech and stutter. It's weird cuz when I try to speak in my native Romanian accent I'm useless at speaking in English but when I try to do a native American/English accent, I speak fluently. Maybe this presenter has found the same to be true.
Protector of the Republic You got the essence of Americana, FUN! Like when the guys in Animal House are down and out, the solution?.....Road Trip!
"Finally a European car reviewer that is reviewing an American car without being some sissy that constantly complains about hard plastics and performance specs or fuel economy and just enjoys the car for what it is."
THANK YOU! So many times I hear whining about how American cars are inferior to European cars and all that noise from people that miss the entire point. American cars are different because they're built with different sensibilities in mind. It's like a person that owns a tiger bitching about it because it's not a lion.
I'm from Canada and rather tired of the low quality, high priced pieces of crap they call cars here. The plastics DO suck. As does reliability, economy, power, looks, design. There hasn't been a car from here that I have liked since before I could drive back in the 80's. Small wonder why I prefer imports. I'd rather an old Trabby over a Rustang ANY day.
Great video. This guy is great. I can tell you from experience of my time stationed in Germany, my mustang got attention like I was in a super car. I literally parked next to a Ferrari F430 in Germany and Germans were posing next to my car and taking selfies. It was really unexpected and weird to me lol.
You're not a Mustang driver until you hit a pedestrian
Tim Flohr it's too much car for their sissy hands to handle.
Tim Flohr let me hit you first
Tim Flohr creative
No, you're not a Mustang driver until you own and drive a Mustang. Don't bring that shitty year-old joke here.
Tim Flohr i drive a challenger
Still the best review of a S550 I've seen on TH-cam over the years. Love the enthusiasm.
Hits exactly what it was built for. Simplicity, affordable, raw power, and it can go like hell
0:14 USA approved! 👍
8:50 German approved! 👍
His reaction makes me happy
THIS is how you make a car video. Did that lovely pony car justice. Thank you.
weird to see a non-american not hating on americans... liked
Aidan Caulfield we wouldn’t hate on americans if most of you weren’t so arrogant
Yeah, it's were the best at everything mentality coming from a bunch of fat, loud, useless people that is annoying. There is plenty to love about the United States.
@Faisal Yousuf Osman right becuase Germany definitely doesn't have any white supremacists......
incipidsigninsetup and much more to hate
4:44 i did not just see a dodge ram casually driving through a little European town.
You know what they say about dodges...
Dodge the father... Ram the daughter
He was probably near an American base. I'm stationed in Germany and the closer you get to a base the more "American" the vehicle selection on the road becomes. To include dumb asses who bring American trucks to Europe... god knows how they find places to park...
Bert Bot hmm that's interesting. I never thought of that. I mean I know American cars do get exported to various countries but I feel like that truck is the one car you wouldn't find anywhere else but in Mercia. Like you said though must've been some guy who had to export that truck himself.
I live in Germany and where I live I know atleast two Germans who own a Dodge Ram. Some people just like them. I also know a guy in my village who uses Jeep Wrangler. American cars arent so uncommon anymore.
mike roma rams are quite common though. silverados are rare, just like hiluxes with the titan v8, stangs are "common", camaros not so much. some dodge challengers are chargers. its sad because germans think their cars are superior.. they arent. coming from a mechanic living in germany, owning a bmw and a 2011 camaro ss
This guy is awesome. He not only made me watch the video 3 times because he's so entertaining, but he convinced me that my next car will be a Mustang.
Let's see more of Tom!
Imagine if he got a GT500?
Myhosi all hell would break loose and he would definetly crash into a croud, the true american way.
Myhosi gt350r would be my choice
A 3 litter supercharged gt500 with a drag setup and watch him fly
Myhosi
My German car smokes GT 500s
KEVIN MANSFIELD well it also costed twice as much and was way harder to mod due to the tiny ass clearances German cars have. Not to mention mustang is wayyyyyyyy easier to work on. Hands down. Dont get me wrong I DESPISE mustangs. But driving one sure looks fun! And i like the looks of any other vehicle than the stang.
I'd say only cops would say vehicle on a regular basis
Jacob Wesley Agreed. I’ve only heard it called a car.
That chuckle he gets when he does something like rev it burnout is one of the amazing things about a rear drive, throaty sounding car. There's just something primal about it that can't be beat.
"5 liters of democracy" we need a spell check there. "5 liters of FREEDOM" is the correct term.
Five liters of democracy is accurate. Many Europeans (and Americans) who turn up their noses in disgust at an American car with a V8 faun over a Mercedes-Benz or BMW with one.... because only the rich can afford them. It is the democrazation of power the muscle car represents that they hate.
More like 302 cubic inches of FREEDOM!!!!
scorcher646 5 litres of colonialism
FontuneTheTeller that doesn't make it okay lol. All humans are shitty I guess.
RemixedVoice you may be right but why is it that anytime someone says the word "colonialism" they instantly think "America"? Like really... the American colonies belonged to England, not America itself. The colonies separating and forming their own country was actually ANTI colonial.
I may sound angry, I'm not. But what I don't get is why has America all of the sudden become the private joke that ALL other nations chuckle about openly?
And don't say trump because it's been happening before that...
"Motor Vehicles" HAHAHAHA
"It started to Mustang all over the place" LOL
"5 liters of Democracy!" lmao
i loled irl
When I saw him going around those turns so quickly in a mustang I thought “he’s in danger😂”
He got a little mustang in it.
This one has the independent rear suspension and better suspension than previous stangs tho
ya no kidding, i felt like he was trying to drift need for speed style lol
Mustang is very popular here is Australia also. Sold 6208 last year & so far to date this year 3772. The main issue here in
Aussie is getting supply of RHD versions of the car. Is leading its class in sales by a country mile.
Premium performance package standard on a ecoboost in Australia for 35000usd / Gt premium performance package 44000usd
He is right about the center rest.. That is a big miss by Ford....
It looks like the changes they did from my previous generation Mustang, was to accommodate the cup holders in a way so you can still shift gears, but that came at the expensive of a shorter padded arm rest. They should just a have a side hinge arm rest with a flip out cup holders so you can still have storage space and hold your drinks while still being able to shift and having a normal padded arm rest when no cups are in use. Probably the best compromise you can get if you want cup holders in a Mustang.
grabir01 It's even worse for right hand drive cars. Cup holders are still on the right hand side so your elbow ends up IN the cup holder. When there is a cup in there you can't shift gears!
grabir01 I'm surprised they don't make that arm rest slide forward. would be an easy fix. My jetta gli has one
grabir01 I personally didn't have a problem due to me being a big person
Zach Morris yea it's decent in the wife's '14 Jetta is decent, the Ford F-250 at work, it's odd to steer also with the center seat console down, it feels a little claustrophobic actually.
Love it, I'm Australian and I feel the same way.. We have a v8 brain here, with both Ford and GM shutting plants here this is on of the few v8 rear wheel drive vehicles. I must confess, I bought a EcoBoost, (soon to be tuned up to 260-270kw). For me I was actually going to avoid the Mustang if I didnt get the v8, but then drove the EcoBoost and it still gave me a grin from ear to ear. My reason was simply cost of fuel and as I bought it for work, I didnt want to spend huge sums of money on Petrol. Simply, the car is beautiful , its lines, its shape everything.. I agree the central plastic section needs a softer touch but Im 6;3" so my elbow is on the soft leather :) Anyway, really enjoyed your charismatic performance.. good to see the Mustang getting some love. Not sure what your sentiment is on the 2 star safety rating, I presonally dont care as I dont have rear passengers and dont need silly electronics. Anyway great video, I'll be sure to watch more of yours in the future. PS> I visited Bavaria, I wish I had such beautiful scenery to drive through.,,, oh and the beer.. Send me over some Augestiner Brau!
Fraggle Rock I'm an american I wish they had Ute's here
I'd disagree that no one looks twice at Mustangs in the US. It certainly has not been my experience.
The v-6 is what I ignore...
Yea, same in Canada. Sure ain't gonna get as many looks as some other cars, but plenty of people turn to see the car. Same when I'm on the road or just walking about, always appreciate a good looking vehicle.
Cause it’s all too common.
But Europeans probably see it as an exotic American muscle and would always get a second look.
@@jpogigtxcr1778 mustang is not a muscle is a pony car based off European sports performance JS
Andri Ordiales Definitions change overtime. With the real muscle cars dying off in the 80’s. A lot of people now considers the modern v8 Mustang, Camaro, Challenger as “American muscle” cars.
Speaks American English well for a German.. One Smart dude..
No, his Enunciation is quite American, East Coast, probably NJ-Area if I'm not mistaken.
Jake Pitman what he means is he speaks English like an American
Jake Pitman He means one of the American dialects of English. Just like those from England speak the Queen's English, we speak American English. Then just as a Brit can have a Cockney accent. We have Jersey/NY accent, and so on. Anyways he probably learned his English from an American ex-pat from NY/NJ living in Germany.
+Jake Pitman
Butthurt Briton detected...
Jake Pitman American English is different then normal English it's officially known as "English simplified"
Here in France, it was kind of the same: Ford imported a lot more 2.3 Ecoboosts than GTs because they thought very few people would buy the V8. Instead, while the 2.3 sold well, the 5.0 sold VERY well to the point that there was a lot of delay between the order and the receiving of the car because they didn't import enough GT versions and needed time to ship some to Europe. I don't remember the exact ratio of 2.3 sales to 5.0 sales but it was around the same than in Germany, it outnumbered Ford's expectations.
Anyway, great video, pleasant to watch and damn those shots reveal the beauty of the car! Also imported Dodge RAM buddy @ 4:43
Yeah, I saw that Dodge truck go by...2 big American vehicles trying to squeeze past each other on that narrow street :-)
not sure how people can afford a V8 when the gaz is so much taxed in France.
VuHien2011 or you get Mustang GT or if you very poor eco boost mustang
in Philippines gas aint cheap. so ecoboost is the way to go
Well, vive la France!

I hadda pause a minute in to comment lol.
Pointless money spending American stupid fun.....
I hope he enjoyed a little bit of our culture, as it can't be anything but in your face!
My moms from Germany, I've been there too, it was an interesting case of the grass is greener....
where I stayed was near a shop that was into American cars, and I had to chuckle a little over seeing them get wide eyes over a mid 80s Impala.
those things used to be everywhere here !!
agenthelios1 nice, Cornholio.
Loved that shot where he passes a Dodge pickup.
As others have said: So wonderful to hear a Non-American so excited by this car. So great to see a review where the driver "gets it".
When this cool German knew the Mustang actually came out in 1964 1/2, then my respect for him went to 110%, cause 90% of Americans, even Mustang fans don't know this FACT. April or June 1964 I saw my 1st mustang coupe, a red one with the V-8 badge on the front fender, damn I wanted one,but not as bad as 63 1/2 white Ford Galaxie 2 door hard top fast back with it's 427 precision whirring, clicking beside my 54 Ford at a red light ha; what an awesome,beautiful and sounding car it was.
God I want to know how you felt when you first saw a Shelby
The Mustang was also initially considered a "secretary's car" due to it's lackluster performance. That definitely changed with the relationship between Shelby and Ford.
A quick google search gives you that little tidbit about 1964 1/2 it’s not all that impressive.
EVERYBODY knows that the mustang came out in 1964 and a 1/2!!!!!!
This video was SO refreshing, it was so nice seeing a rare video of a European actually being positive toward US cars! Thank you very much!!
titanicwhiz it's still a deathtrap
Walter Audi and vw have much larger issues than terrible crash ratings
I as a german must say i love US cars.
I would love to drive this Mustang but the fuel price is so high here..
atm 1.30€ for 1liter
There is a lot of muscle cars fans in Europe, unfortunately the fascist European socialism makes them BRUTALLY expensive, the cheapest 5.0L Mustang in Croatia costs 80.000€ and that's not even all, you have to pass the registration(EVERY year) and insure it after that and then on top of that pay car tax for the next 10 years on it. And if once you decide to sell it, the buyer again will pay ANOTHER 5% in used car tax. And you silly Yanks though you have beat the fascism in Europe lol...
i dont love socialism more but what choice i have ?? I cant quit everything and move from this country so easily. And yeah taxes over taxes, thats what it is when u live in germany... My actuell car is a 2.0 tdi btw ^^ and the insurence and tax together for a year is like 900€. A mustang would be cheaper but yeah the fuel prices are the problem for me.
This review made me buy a mustang gt
Joshua Pascu me too lol 2017 gt 6spd lightning blue
The sheer joy on his face at 8:50 makes me appreciate this guy’s excitement.
Glad you enjoy our cars.
A message from the USA: you're welcome.
Just don't buy them by the thousands like they do in America because frankly, nobody needs to see a million Mustangs everywhere
This guy is good. I enjoy his content
That intro deserves to be titled "American as fuck"
As american you earned my like once I saw them tires smoke.
It's a hoot to watch Tom tool around in this car. Love it

except that he said hes German
This is a great review by an enthusiastic Car Guy. Great job.
P.S. The reviewers enthusiasm put a big grin on my face. Loved it.

German Bill Burr
NautEddie Holy shit... 😂
NautEddie 😂😂🙌🏾
Burr needs this guy as a podcast guest.
holy shit i just made this comment then saw yours hahaha
Beat me to it !
Dead on about driving American style. Haha. When he was talking about his arm position with his elbow I was thinking, "I don't think I've ever put my right hand on the side of the wheel since my driving test." And then he stuck his arm back in what he called the American style exactly how I drive. Haha.
pvaz don’t keep your hand on the shifter, the downward force of your hand can allow the gears to grind. Just a tip
Brett Coryell no, no it's not. That actually is completely and utterly NOT true.....
Mein gott! Who knew Bill Burr had a German twin?!
Repeat after me.. 1999-2004 Cobras were the first mustangs with IRS..
No - the lack of IRS in Mustangs have always been a function of cost. Ford had even prototype'd 60's mustangs with IRS, but kept them out due to cost. I was just responding to the fact that most journalists claim the 2015 Mustang is the first with IRS when there were IRS mustangs produced before by Ford.
LOL - are you trolling? I can send you a pic of my 2001 SVT Cobra's (factory stock) rear suspension. Search for any review of a 99-04 Mustang Cobra..
Every Cobra 2003-04 for sure had stock IRS. Obviously the designgroup had no idea what the suspension group was doing the same time. That's might also the reason why the stock Cobra such a high ride height :P
LOL.. 99 and 01's (and 2000 Cobra R's) had the IRS also.. 2000 and 2002 cobras weren't made except for a few..
I owned a 99 Cobra. It had independent rear suspension. Check your facts before you make a further fool of yourself.

I love that line! 5 liters of Democracy!
Its 4.9 really. The 5.0 sells cars better.
It is actually 4951cc which is 4.951 liters and that rounds up to a 5.0L. Fords old Windsor 5.0 was smaller than 4951cc so it would round down to a 4.9L
Most engine displacements are rounded up, not like ford did anything out of the ordinary.
I agree with both of you guys. The exact displacement only matters in performance benchmarks. The 5.0 is being used though for marketing since the first 5.0 was so famous in the 80s

Sounds more New Yorker than German 😂
a lot of new yorkers have german ancestors
I'm not sure if this guy has ever talked german in his life.
That Mustang went to 160mph (260kph) like it was nothing... Das good.
It’s nice seeing what others think of American cars for a change
This was so fun to watch. I just subscribed, I love being able to appreciate all cars across the world and hearing all the different perspectives. Thank you for the great video!!
Oh, the Mustang is truly something special over here in Germany. Some people in my region drive one and it is just a fabulous sound when one of the Mustang GTs rumble down the Landstraße to my village. 5l of democrazy is the most suitable line for this machine.
