I like your review and your style. I think you have a future at this.
Thanks for the support, Mike!
Mike Camaro like the review, kind of hate the background music however.
did they fix the crappy manual transmission in the new ones?
Miles, you're a cool guy. I like you
Haha, thanks man. You're pretty cool yourself.
The design may not be for everybody, but from somebody who owned a fifth generation Mustang; I love the new look, so much so that I bought myself one!
My few gripes about the car;
-Significantly less head room in the back seats
-The GPS is recessed into the dash
-The seat belt is too high, rubs on your neck
-Manual seat tilt (electric everything else) and the lever is located in a bad spot under the seat belt
Petty issues, but those are the only things that keep it from being perfect IMO.
Aww snap! Bradley cooper is back!
The 2015 model changed the way i look at Mustangs. It looks so good and i want one!
Man I'm really liking that interior... I agree with him about that center hump though. It's one of my pet peeves when a manufacturer tries to do an upscale interior but makes a part that you touch heavily out of something cheap feeling. I used to have a 2008 MINI and the b-pillars had nicer plastic than the dash did. Blargh.
Anyways, Miles is getting better every time.. great job and entertaining to watch too!
Mustang GT with automatic is like ordering a huge burger with tons of fries with a diet coke
Funny, isn't a Nissan GTR an automatic? I guess Cheeseburgers and Diet Cokes are what GTR owners eat all day long, huh?
05gtdriver but GTR is not offered with a manual and Mustang GT is ...that is the point bro.
Oxofon Tulen if you wanna buy a mustang , you are probably looking to have fun ...so if you get automatic , it will be like a buying a more powerful ford fusion ...but if you get the manual ...every time you drive it you get the same thrill ...just my opinion
Ara J You need to realize too, not everyone is under 30-35 years old and drive their car 8/10ths most of the time. Many people(myself included) are over 45 years old, use their Mustang as a daily driver and enjoy the comfort and ease of use of an automatic transmission.The previous 3 Mustangs I owned were manual cars(loved them!), but now I am not concerned with ultimate performance, but a great daily driver that still has some scoot to it. Cheers!
05gtdriver you are right , but if you are over 45 and you want a car for everyday uses , then get a family sedan ...perhaps a Camry XSE with V6 ...Idk even between Porsche PDK and a 4 speed manual ..I'll go with the 4 speed all day even though the PDK will smoke it ...I'm more interested in the driving experience rather than comfort or performance ....salute you sir ...cheers .
I really do enjoy the car reviews more than almost anyone else. I'd love to see what you guys think about the EcoBoost version.
I really like this car, and I am a long term European Car owner (have a E55, M6, and Lotus Elise)...The looks are great and the engine is world class. 15MPG...I wish my M6 ever hit that!...and the rear leg room didn't seem that bad at all...Good job America...Ford is on it's game to be sure...
Thanks for the input of those minor complaints.
Nice review. I look forward to more appearances by the BranMan :-P
Miles I'm digging your review. Hopefully we get to see lots more!! You seem so relaxed like you aren't trying, like its not work. Keep it up! :)
I hope to see more reviews by Miles!
Why do everyone hate on automatic I drive 2015 automatic select shift in select shift mode I put up the same time 0-60 4.5 as a manual get what u want it's ur money welcome to 21 century
new automatic shift so fast it pays to get one now. older tech auto transmission were terrible. my father has a 2013 xkrs and it has a auto with paddle shifting and shifts really fast . he needs to get the pully and tune upgrade to bring it up to 640 hp and lessen the hesitation off the line because jaguar has a slight hesitate when you nail the gas from a complete stop. he had a xkr before he traded for the rs. even tho the rs is more powerful the xkr had a way nicer ride and was just as fast.
really clear audio (speech) from the reviewer - makes a pleasant change. end bit is quite humorous too. all cool!
Miles - very good review! This is the first time I have seen one of your reviews. You have a great voice; your opinions on the car seemed thoughtful and objective. I will search for more of your reviews on youtube. Great job!
Really like the review! Casual,cool yet refined!
What no claims that it's as good as a Ferrari??? This is actually a great review!!! Unlike the Z06 and and Stingray reviews.
This type of paddle shifting "issue" is with pretty much any car that uses them. I've driven over a dozen cars that all do the same thing... "I'm done down shifting but I don't want to up shift, better throw my stick to the left then back to the right." Honestly it's not a problem when you're used to it, new drivers need to pay attention to this though. You can't really mess up the gears if you don't return to auto, it'll down shift for you if slowing down below the gear ratio window.
Hey FLD! Huge fan of the show, I have been watching since 09. Most of the time the regular show works pretty good but the FLD tours are not up to par with the reviews out on TH-cam and the overall quality that I am used to get from you. I would advice to bump up the pace of the speech on the review ( it is monotonous in my opinion ). Include more footage while commenting and reduce the time you show the reviewer ( I would think of a 50-50 as the sweat mark). All the hosts deliver the script in a generic way. Try to include some of that DD energy. In my opinion the best FLD tour was the Genesis by DD.
Long Term Review Brother Indeed!!
I own the 2015 mustang gt premium without the performance package. It is my first mustang and I love it. I have a few issues with it though, the main one are the brakes for this model and the ecoboost performance package which uses the same type of brakes. They squeal so loud when you apply the brakes at very slow speeds like your brake pads need to be replaced. It's been in the shop several times and no fix yet in sight. There are a lot of people with the same issue. So if you are interested in buying the mustang GT be warned.
Its A BRAND NEW car with brand new brakes. Of course they are going to squeal its called BREAK IN!!! How many miles on it? I wouldn't worry too much about it. Im sure an aftermarket pad or rotor is coming soon and will eliminate this problem all together.
Started at 300 miles. 2000 miles later it's still there. Check out the forums at themustangsource. Some have gotten confirmation that a TSB is coming. But ford has been saying that for a few weeks now. And they wouldn't even say what is causing it.
Previous generation looked much much better. The only nice thing about this car is interior, the outside looks like a Korean muscle car. Anyway - you have talent, this review is very good.
*February 2015, Ford Mustang 8,454 units sold*
*Chevrolet Camaro February 2015 6,373 units sold*
I own this car and IDK what he's talking about as far as the transmission. If im on the highway in D 6th gear and pull the down paddle it changes down to 5th pretty instantly and once I lift (after overtaking or whatever reason I changed down for) it immediately jumps back up to 6th and resumes normal function. I dont know exactly what you mean by "wait a while" but im willing to say for me in my car the transition is sub 5 seconds. I would guess that its faster than changing from D to S and back to D.
A bigger criticism I have is that theres no constant gear indicator on the display. You have no choice but to pull a paddle or go in S to see where you are. Even when in S the gear indicator isn't great.
they probably could get better mpg if they did cylinder deactivation. oh well.
It would be great if FLD reviews the 4 cylinder Turbo Mustang. I am a big fan of small engines with turbos. I would like to get a Mustang, but that beast is heavy!
Great review. Just like to point out that your comment about how the transmission acts when using paddles, going back to D from S etc etc, my Audi S4 does the same thing so in that regard I think its the nature of the Auto transmissions having D and S/S+. Also like you said if youre looking for fuel economy then a buyer wouldnt be getting the 5.0 so that extra little fuel consumption while the car switches from S to D on its on is moot.
Pony car, Miles, pony car.
Muscle cars are few and far between these days, and most that would be close are actually well sorted sports sedans (M5, SS, AMG cars).
The only Muscle Car I could really think of would be the Charger Hellcat
That said, nice review, you did a great job. The new Mustang is a huge step up from the old ones and it really feels like it's worth what it costs (at least initially).
great review, i like your calm and friendly style. keep up the great work!
Good owner review. Thanks.
'Stupid f***ing stopljght!... and the word f***!', haha
Did no one notice that those mirror lamp Stangs were around last gen too? Unless you got recaros, they were standard.
Best guy at reviews!
i'm not really a fan of mustang but the new mustang design is very nice
Have you guys driven the 2015 Challenger yet? How do they compare? I've test-driven both (by which I mean the dealers let me take them around a flat rectangular block once), so I didn't get to experience their full handling/ride characteristics.
The key differences I noticed were that the Dodge has bigger blind spots and is just a bigger, harder car to drive all around (especially if you need to squeeze into tight spaces), but it actually has decent back seats. On the other hand, the Mustang is a much easier car to drive (smaller, quicker, better visibility, etc.), but I'd feel guilty putting anyone into those back seats.
I finally Drove on with the 6spd.. I swear I thought I was going to rip the shifter out of the console lol. " Oh SHYT I forgot not a tremec!" :P but yeah I agree with the steering wheel, I can't wrap my hands around it at the positions I want.....SO! When do you folks plan on testing the Challenger SRT? just the 392 NOT the hellcat...
Then that would be the SRT8......
Daniel Arriaga well they got rid of the "SRT8" naming and just went with SRT now. only dif is "SRT 392" or "SRT Hellcat"
Good review. But you forgot to mention wet/snow mode.
the 5.0 GT gains about 30 rwhp from an exhaust. The stock exhaust is puny to comply with euronazi noise regs.
Miles. You're Good. That's good. i like it
Nice rev
Great job
My uncle has this car and it's awesome
The beginning of the video game me chills. Vroom
The database that he was talking about where the car gives you things like A/F ratio ect. has been available since 2013...
how good or bad are the paddle shifters on this car??
I have a 2015 I truly get 20 to 21 in the city
Didn't this guy do an FLD while Derek was sick? I like this guy.
Good job man!!
I wish I could own this car in red but is it me or both ruby red and race red are horrible? I like the Ferrari red or the Scion FR-S red color I wish this car had that red..
+Exile i was thinking the same. the blue is the same, deep impact blue seems to be missing the impact of Kona Blue
Love the stang!
+Godlike CreationZ yess broo!!
What exactly is in the performance package?
I want to get it with just the LSD and Brembos but with the cheaper 18 in wheel option (Will be trading my 13' V6 but I have Winter tires for 18 in rims, and I have nice 20in staggered rims with Nitto tires for Summer and Spring). Wondering if anyone knows if such a combination is possible, I don't want like 3 sets of rims.
(Also, do floor and trunk mats from 13-14s fit on the new 15s? I have friends that would buy them, but the cars have pretty similar dimensions on the interior).
can u get paddle shifters on the 2016?
I knew a guy with a 1995 Mustang V6. He was a choad that got beaten by a Honda Odyssey at a red light.
A litttttle extra griiip!
Does anybody else find the constant generic rock background music annoying?
They're often featured in auto reviews, as if it were mandatory. It's not.
2:09- Steering wheel on the left, clutch, brake and throttle on the right?
Value for money is great!
Will they sell this as right hand drive? Or is that only for the ecoboost? I've always wanted an American muscle car but I've never seen one in real life =/
Great review! I have a red race 2016 Ford Mustang Gt with automatic transmission. Do u think that manual is better for the mustang ? Thanks
nope..all the best cars on the planet are auto now
Ford mustang is the best.the strongest car Ford motor vehicle make.love Ford
great review and u look like the guy who plays green arrow lmao thts crazyy
Is the center part with the cup holder and console (idk the actual name lol) plastic in all models? Or is there a package that gives you a leather wrapped one?
It's always plastic. I've got a premium gt. It's the only spot that isn't soft touch in the car.
I really want that car... :D
best fucking review you the man. everything I wanted to know thank you
My ideal mustang I hate stick shift
It's compatible with the BMW 4 series and M3 series brah.
Now is this engine more impressive then the hemi pros and cons? Hows it shift since my charger r/t is auto:(
Mustang 5.0 is better. 435 hp out of only 5.0 liters.
all these new cars exhaust sound so mechanical and fake, but two chamber flows on a fox with no cats now thats a great sound.
okay grandpa, your pushrod 5.0 is loud, but is it fast? cause this one sure as hell is
I feel the rear seats are for looks
omg that was good bro a lot of French fries omg
The manual bandwagon just gives manuals a bad name. Stop hating and let people choose for themselves. Other than that, cool vid.
Where is the manual transmission made?
+whiteribbonman1 the manual transmission is made in Germany from Getrag Company
famous for many Porsche manual transmission like the G50-G64 ecc...
+Giorgio beeamer Thank you! The 2014's manual was made in China. I lived in Deutschland during the 80's & was extremely impressed by their work ethic / commitment to pure excellence.
+whiteribbonman1 the performance pak is standard in europe and brakes comes from Brembo six pistons 380 mm they are made in Italy and they are best brakes on the market, they deliver Porsche, Ferrari ecc....as you see Ford put on the New Mustang some world fine stuff to succeed in Europe and right now The Mustang V8 is very successfull even if gasoline is very expensive overhere
i love muscle cars
Mustangs are a hand full to drive in the summer, left alone in the winter. a Gas Guzzler too. Leather in a Mustang? Maybe it's horsehide but probably man made stuff.
It's actually very easy to drive and did alright this winter in Oklahoma. The new suspension setup and brakes and the different driving modes really help. Have a good one
I can assure you that it is still real leather, leather isn't so overwhelmingly expensive (yet). But I drive a 2013 with winter tires all winter, and in summer its the most fun you can have in a car without buying a lambo.
NICE 2015 Ford Mustang GT Review - Fast Lane Daily
is 164 mph the top speed of the stock factory or with the tuning ?!
Factory but the GT only.
Stock
2004 cobra had IRS
Oh yeah
Will this car be good for cutting slow drivers off on a freeway?
lol
0-60 in 4.5?
My 2013 Gt 6 speed manual did 0-60 in 4.2
The 11-14s are faster. Chevy made the upgrade this year on the camaro. ford decided hey "let's be heavier and have about 10 more hp but weigh 300 pounds heavier but give people an independent axle for all those corners we go on."
+Landon Clements yeah that sounds about right. Lol
+AOD2874 lol I thought so to myself 😂
post a video with a stop watch.
post a video and send it and I'll sub to your channel.
I wish they would tell you off the bat that the review was going to be an automatic so I could just bypass it.
It looks way different in person. Seems like Ford went the Chevy route and made a cartoony looking coupe.
This or Challenger scat pack?
Challenger Scat pack for sure
***** big and heavy
Scat
Awww why no man pedal?!?
FastLaneDaily Ummm, I first came across this video on a different TH-cam channel called "click autobiography" and I was confused at first but now I believe they are just falsely hosting some of your videos as their own? Wanted to let you know.
It already looks dated. DO you really think the Mustang u get from ur local car lot gonna have this red leather interior?
wow 8 miles per hour huh. thats quick.
8=80...he cant say his actual speed or else hes admitting to speeding.
I know, I was just playing along. Everyone on this channel does that, especially Matt.
true dat
Very small gripes, certainly not a deal breaker....#winner
Really, the GT weighs 3850 lbs!?
1750 kgs? :(
I don't like that it looks more like ford fusion coupe then mustang. I like 2014 mustang the best. It looks like real mustang.
This design is old. This was what was suppose to be the mustang after the fox body. Look at the concept mach 3 or something. All these American muscle cars are made with parts made in mexico or canada. Look under this car & you will see made in mexico all over it. I want a mustang that goes 0-60 in 4 sec 1/4 mile in 12 sec out of the box that gets 30mpg city. Im buying a camaro. Why not. Already have a chally & stang.
Hello the 25 other viewers
mustang cant even compete with the challenger. I'd compare the wow factor of this car to the new subarus
Why oh why does you call handbrake "e-brake". For a sec I thought they have an actual e brake instead of analogue handbrake.
Its short for emergency brake. In case the regular brakes fail.
***** LOL, really. Have you ever tried braking using handbrake instead of main brake.
z00h If drifting counts, then yea. Haha!
***** theres no problem as long as you don't yank it! it'lll work in a pinch
automatic?? next video
and here is a guy who thinks u have to drive a manual to be a real man. Lmao grow up
+Dillon T first of all I didn't say that and secondly if you're gonna drive a performance car driving it in manual is a lot more fun than driving it in automatic in my opinion and a lot of people would agree to that statement...that's like saying you use ranch for your French fries instead of ketchup!
***** ranch on french fries = so good. But for real Autos are becoming fast and faster these days and in higher ur cars like the porsche PDK they are already fast then manauls. Ive driven both manual and autos and find that autos are a lot better to drive going to work downtown ect. So I am leaning towards geting a auto GT and if people judge me from their 95 civic what do I care. Anyways I see why people like autos, Im not saying u did this but when peoole say ur not a man if u drive an auto it just annoys me
Why can't they make a non-leather version? Or at least non-real leather...
They have cloth seats
go away hippie... this car aint for you.
It's called cloth.
+I know. I mean they don't offer it, I've checked the website. They could've at least used vinyl if they wanted the same look, or fake leather.
I have a 16 with solid black cloth...it's not the premium
#Murica
You bought it and now you want to tell everyone about, so how much are you asking, lol
Ford's never been one for intelligent engineering. Why package a speedometer that only goes up to 160 on a car with a top speed > 160 mph?
I not sure about this but it's probably got a governor that limits top speed to 155mph
alex bo My 370z has the same limiter, but it doesn't end the speedometer at 160 mph. I think Nissan realizes that people _will_ reprogram the ECU and remove that limitation, and swapping out the dashboard once you do that is pretty inconvenient =P
As cheap and easy as it is to tune a Mustang, it'd seem even more important not to do that :-\
I think it's a government thing vs manufacturers
*February 2015, Ford Mustang 8,454 units sold*
*Chevrolet Camaro February 2015 6,373 units sold*
EscapeforMankind For the month? That's more cars sold in one month than Nissan manufactures in an entire model year for 370Z and GT-R combined :P
No wonder nobody gives those cars a second glance when spotted in the wild, they reproduce like bunny rabbits.
