- Over the decades few cars have had the staying power, or iconism, as the Mustang. Heck, it even named an entire segment: the pony car. Yep, the Mustang was that original pony. Now of course the Mustang has a different set of competition from the affordable entries like the Toyota 86 to the Corvette to the new (and super-sized) Dodge coupe coming soon...

The price was the reason I bought a slightly used Mustang instead of new. It's a great car but just too much money.
Having cross shopped the (manual) Mustang and M2, I agree that they drive pretty similarly. In my opinion, the M2 has a bit better ride, way better steering feel, but a terrible shift feel. For a daily driver, the Mustang wins hands down due to the shift feel alone. If I were to buy a track car, I'd take the M2 but realistically I will rarely, if ever, make it to a track.
Every trim of the Mustang is $10k more than I was expecting.
I specced out a fairly loaded 2024 GT on Ford's website to 63K last year. The exact same car for 2025 is now 68K. Five thousand dollars more for the exact same car! Ridiculous... Actually, I take that back, it's not the exact same car--the 2025s don't have wireless charging, so you're actually paying significantly more for slightly less car. Nice going, Ford.
Well, that's called supply and demand.
My 2020 had an MSRP of just around 50k and I picked it up for 39.5k in January of 2021. No way I could pay full price for these.
GT Premium, Performance Package, 401A, Performance Exhaust, Safe and Smart package.
BACK IN MY DAYS!!!!
Equivalent one now is 58k, so really it's not an enormous jump from a percentage standpoint, but I think the dollar amount is getting to us.
@@richardb.5691 Methinks you need to better understand Economics 101. The days supply of Mustangs is huge - ergo, they are sitting on dealer's lots.
@@layne4376 that's the dealers not understanding how to adjust their inventory based on demand. Most dealers haven't a clue on how to run their dealership.
@17:39…yes!!! Quieter cars/trucks please!
“Ice Ice Baby” is the perfect song for you to have up for this review. Genius.
Love the lyrical reference too... Girlies waving
Alex, Approximately 30 years ago when you were learning to drive a manual in a 30 year old Mustang, was it a 4 speed or a 3 speed? 🤔 In terms of Mustang nostalgia, at the time
Vanilla Ice was hot, I can remember that a 5.0 LX cost around $12,000. 🤩
My buddy had a ‘88 GT with the 5.0 and it cost $13,500 new.
Sooo glad I bought my 2022 GT new at $40k. I put AWE Touring exhaust on it, now it sounds like a beast.
I am so ready for the Mustang to go full sports car. I hope the next generation is an all new modular chassis that includes all the learnings from the GTD with double wishbone suspension, no rear seats, front mid engine placement and a transaxle DCT and 6 speed. If they need to have rear seats, make a sedan version called Falcon. Oh, and make it a real lift back. Now that the Vette is mid engined, Ford needs to take over the front engined sports car market!!
With the prices of new sports cars becoming so insane with each model year passing and no true performance gain other than a more heavy car and price.
A used C6 Corvette or C7 never looked better.
🤔are there any vehicles out there with Green Gauges? 🤔🤔 ♥️@ Green Gauges ♥️💯
Give us dials!!!!!
Sales were up 55% in August. Yup getting a V8 is getting to be a pricey proposition.
Ford sure likes to cherry pick their sales data! Up 55% in August, but up only 1.7% year to date versus 2023 through the same time period. That's an awful return for a "new" generation. Even worse, sales are literally half what they were for the first two years of the S550. Rolling 12 month sales are roughly 53,000 units, which is almost exactly what the S550 did in its final production year of 2023.
Awesome car
I have owned 4 mustang gt, if chevy didn't make a comeback in 2010 to give ford some competition, ford would've still been putting 300hp in their mustangs.
You sound stupid when dodge was putting 425hp in SRT challenger in 2008 😂
@SARGENTDOODLE me telling you, your daddy told your momma she sound stupid when she told him she was pregnant with you. And they had your sister in 2008, which would be me showing you a lack of decorum. Stop calling people stupid because they offer people their personal opinion.
The EcoBoost is automatic only now. If you want a manual, it has to be with the V8. Its sad how much the price of the Mustang has gone up. I bought one new in 2016, and a new one with the same options is 15K more. Earlier this year I was looking for a new sports car, and ended up getting a BRZ. I got a Limited with additional STI parts for 32K. Yes a Mustang GT is much faster, but it is way more expensive. And the 2.3L being auto only makes it uninteresting as a cross shop. But I have always loved the Mustang (Have owned several), just wasn't in the cards this time around.
The instrument gages look cheap. The should be inset into the dashboard. Not perched like an afterthought.
My first nearly-new car was an ex-demo 2004 Mustang GT, and I loved it. Never crashed it either - except one time someone ran a red light and hit me and another car. I think the Fox body styles have aged really well.
❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😮😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 who gives a shit about a Corvette lease. The Ford Mustang is still selling and doing good. Look at the 64 1/2 Mustang keep up the good work with the video and you’re doing good. Take care. I had a Mustang I miss it. I want another one, but I’m thinking about getting a Porsche instead, take care, bro
❤❤😂😂😢😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 i’ve been here 21 years in northern California and this is the first time I seen a charger and challenger car club and I see 62 100 Mustangs cruising every day so now what’s up leave the Ford alone bro I know you like it because you’re talking about it and when Dodge comes back, they’re still shitty cars at steam McQueen’s Mustang that shit took a really beating didn’t it?
3:23 Whoa, your old Jeep Commanche project car is still lurking in the background! It's been like 10 years since you did a video on it. My Mustang comment: I had a 2015 GT Premium for 5 years and I sure miss it. I sold it because my wife had cancer. I always thought I'd get another, but at these prices? Heck, I feel a BMW 850i coupe closely resembles the Mustang. Obviously, that's a 6-figure car, available with AWD, but a used, low miles one seems "more affordable".
❤❤❤😂😂😢😮😢😢😢😮😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 and if so, how come the Camaro don’t race in the imsa race, but Mustang does OK then shut up
I don’t think a GTD is a corvette competitor when it costs twice as much as the highest spec’d vette. I think they’re trying to chase Porsche or maybe even Ferrari (but again, not in Ferrari price range).
I like the mustang especially the Shelby gt500 but it would be a toss up between the gt500 or the challenger due to its roominess and honestly a more bat$#!t crazy experience.
I’m with you on your taste of the fox body mustang. But this current one is a close second. If ford have only used the GTD’s front end instead.
The problem with digital gage clusters is you can’t dim them sufficiently for night driving.
Prices are out of control. Don’t buy! Boycott automakers
Good lord my commuter EV can do 0-60 in 2 additional seconds lol.
Pony or Muscle?
Either seems OK to me
Pony Car.
Mustang is no competitor to the corvette
I miss the top gear trio doing an American special with the Mustang/Camaro/Charger trio 😢 need to find that episode
Lovely. V-8, RWD.
The only pont FOR NOW. Soon the new charger with hurricane engine will be available.
so this or a few thousand more and your looking at a Porsche 718 Cayman
That’s assuming you don’t add any options to the cayman and you’re not getting nearly the same performance for that price in the Porsche
It may be the only "Pony car" but it's extremely overpriced. The build quality doesn't justify it or the performance. It may seem like a lot of horsepower, but a 382 horsepower Supra would eat it for lunch. I'd never pay BMW M2 money for a Mustang with really poor panel gaps and materials.
Look at the battery cover. You should judge the entire car's build quality by that. Trust me.
$54k is M2 money?
Eh it’s the last pony car. Ford can charge more, because you don’t really have any other option if you want American muscle. If price is a problem, then just wait a year or two when you can get a good pre-owned price.
@@ALMX5DP It isn't, but a well equipped 2025 GT can certainly get to M2 money. I built a GT to 63K for 2024 but the same car is now 68K for 2025, which is just absurd for a car with cheap fake carbon fiber on the dash.
@@MrHighlyEvolved I presume you’re referring to the Dark Horse. May not have the greatest fit-finish but I wouldn’t blame someone for getting one. Lots of differences that could sway one’s personal preferences.
Dodge makes muscle cars. These are “pony” cars
Dislike the interior and the unaffordable price of the GT Mustang. $50k for a base ish GT is ridiculous and flies in the face of the ethos of what the Mustang was all about. At the very least, they should give you the superior Tremec TR6060 gearbox instead of the trash Getrag MT82 in the GT. Very disappointed with Ford lately. When the majority can’t afford a Mustang, it’s safe to say they lost the plot.
The Mustang was supposed to be an affordable muscle car. The affordable part sailed down the creek a long time ago and apparently isn’t coming back. 🐎🚗☹️
real bummer to see the American OEMs retreat from affordable performance, especially since Ford dropped the manual option from the ecoboost. I guess young car folks are just supposed to live off of early 00's mustangs and camaros but they aren't exactly making more of those
Well, at least this is deserving of being called a Mustang.
Unlike the Mach-E.
The mustang is ALL sound, I had to test drive 3 different trims. I only had to test drive the SS1LE once. . .
Well that’s not a thing anymore. What is your point?
Yeah I don’t quite understand the test driving three different Mustang trims, and only test driving one specific Camaro trim point. Was one of the Mustang trims their competitive performance trim like the GT350 or PP2? I’d be more interested in a contrasting statement about like-to-like. The Alpha platform 1LE is a fantastic performer so either that or a PP2 would be fine by me so just curious.
Boy I am going to miss the Camaro.🥲
