Ford gives its 2018 Mustang a significant refresh that leaves the car looking meaner up front and deletes the previously available V6. The turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder and the 5.0-liter V8 continue, but the V8 produces more power and both transmissions are new. The new manual remains a 6-speed, but gets a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel, and the new automatic has 10 speeds, was co-developed with GM, and includes paddle shifters. The EcoBoost produces 310 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, while the upgraded V8 makes 460 hp and 420 lb-ft.
All 2018 Mustangs get new shock absorbers and upgraded suspension, and the Performance Package offers an optional MagneRide magnetic damper system that improves handling. The new Mustang’s cabin also offers upgrades, from a heated steering wheel to a 12-inch customizable digital dashboard, and a number of advanced safety features, including pedestrian detection and lane-keeping assist, are optional.

Good Review. Love the sound of the new exhaust
This guy would be awesome at reviewing washer and dryers!!
LOL!! well said...
Damn. That magnetic color looks damn good. 51k on a Mustang is expensive though but its got the digital cluster and magneride suspension which I want.
@@jitterball magnetic was correct.
Iconic car, such a beast!
Claire Kennedy I still love my 392..a cat delete and some drag radials and I got em....more comfortable too....10 speed is dope though
Claire Kennedy you are an iconic blonde haha
10/10 for that Stranger Things reference
This gonna be the best used 2 door domestic in 2020
Hey 2020 here😂
i have 14 tracpac and don't want to give up my solid rear axle
How about test driving in real world conditions, stuck in traffic? Would you still pick a manual over auto?
If your knee is resting on the door panel -or console for that matter, you’re not seated properly in relation to the pedals.
How many airbags??? What safety features? Abs brakes? Traction control?
Demogorgon from Upside Down - Awesome! I want this car BAD!
Cupholder is still in the way of my right elbow for a manual transmission.
Wickedly. Must be from New England.
Fully loaded camry is almost $40.000 nowadays. What expensive for V-8 fully loaded sport car are you talking about?
ShaneO Radiosho what a better deal than this? Just wondering your opinion?
ShaneO Radiosho I'm asking what is a better deal for $55 if you think it is expensive for the mustang?
ShaneO Radiosho fuck off... I meant what I wrote ...
Georgii Arakelov I get what you mean. And besides the camaro SS there is no better deal for the package at 55k. No other companies offer what these two offer for the price. As much as I love dodge, they don't offer the same all around performance and technology for that price. Yes it's expensive for a mustang because mustangs normally come in around 35-42k. But even at 50k there's is no better bargain besides the 6th gen 1LE. Now you could buy a slightly used GT350 for under 55k now so that's probably a better deal.
Brandon Curry thanks men it was exactly my point
Interesting switch on the transmission recommendation between this and last year's California Special convertible review. On the CA convertible you recommended the old 6 speed auto. I'm wondering if that is because that car is more of a "cruiser" and this one is held to a higher performance standard.
I tested 10 speed yesterday, 6 speed today. I'd definitely pick the 10 speed! It felt a lot quicker.
This car is too good for you.
Ford's moto for the Mustang used to be "Fast, Fun, and Affordable". That $51,000 price tag for a GT. Would make me immediately pay the extra $5,000+ for the GT-350. Mainly due to the depreciation. Standard run of the mill Mustangs don't hold their value at all. (Pretty much the second the tires leave the lot they drop in value by $8,000. The GT350 and the GT-350 R and the upcoming GT-500 will hold their value down the road much better than a Premium GT. (Or any other version)
Scott only problem is that many dealers have marked up the Shelby’s by thousands.
If you find anything as fast and nice for the same price I will be impressed
Lately Ford's MSRPs have been crazy high I think you can get the car for $48k, but discounts are not available on a GT350. Also you really want to get the PP2 package on the GT, not PP1+magneride which is what this guy had.
Plus a HUD is still missing
Car review editors always mention MSRP pricing. If you pay that when buying a Ford product, then you are not buying wisely. Most Fords have Factory, and dealer rebates and other incentives. There are exceptions like the GT350 and other special edition models that dealers will even mark up over MSRP! But for the most part, you can get pricing below MSRP significantly.
Front end, inspired by Nissan 370z Nismo.
I really want that new 370z Nismo too.
Horsepower is way more than what they claim if you put it on a dyno. With a 16 or 17 percent you are at 493 to 497 crank horsepower
kris hauenstein yup
I've seen 504-507 on a 16% drive line loss. Remember, crank minus 16%, not wheel plus 16%.
Are you diving by .84 or multiplying by 1.16? Because those two aren't the same lol.
Are you reviewing a mustang or a kia??
Dema from the upside down lmao
I love the new 2018 Ford Mustang, but what I think would be even cooler if Ford would take the Mustang logo and put it on the hood similar to an AMG Mercedes-Benz. I think it would give it an even more unique look and make the grill look a lot cleaner!
Ford says that it goes 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, since I am really lazy and I won’t find an empty backroad I am gonna take their word for it...
did they trash that lousy transmission t-82 in the 18 ??
The auto trans didn't downshift when you braked into a corner? Whaaaaaaaaat!!!!!
It does, it delays for some 1-2 seconds.
the last real mustang that required you to drive it and not it driving itself was the s197, in fact for me, the s197 is last mustang
Hi cargurus, I'm one of thousands of guys that go to your website to day dream about buying cheap sports cars that are still way to expensive for me.
Lambochaser Welcome!
Michael Perkins thanks
Drive test one youll see why its woth 50,000..its great car..fast and nimble..aster than scatpack challenger..0 to 60mph..
So how much does the V8 model cost with stick shift and a LSD?
falchulk I just want to know if you can get that under $35k? If so I'm interested
Ford.com
That would be a GT with ZERO options (6 speed manual and LSD are standard).
$35,995 MSRP
lysergic acid diethylamide you really do want to back to the sixty's
Blake Swan you can. Wait a couple of months keep your eyes on Ford's monthly incentives
Good review. That 10 speed auto would be expensive to fix I bet. I prefer the hood on my 15 vs the sloped down look. i like seeing the bulging hood while driving. I understand its not good for aero. Too bad the mustang’s price no longer makes it the working mans affordable muscle car imo. So yes buy used since these cars depreciate like rocks. A great car still ... just getting close to corvette pricing.
An automatic doesn’t read minds it reads sensors in the vehicle and can’t respond to ever nuance that it encounters thats why there’s paddle shifters for spirited driving as a reviewer you should know that, in manuals you also miss gears so whats the difference I know because all I drive are Manuals currently own a 2017 2SS manual, the same thing happens in any auto car no matter the price there are limitations to all automatics my next car will be an automatic I love the new ten speeds.
love the mustang logo but dont like it in the middle of the grill,
just saying
julius ceasar It'd look sexy on the side.
I can never get over how expensive these cars are.
ItzMorphinTime22 they wonder why no one buys rwd sports cars anymore. Maybe because they have all become $50k. I'm not paying that
The price reflects whats offered. If you want to save 20 grand then buy a Toyota.
Blake Swan considering a fully loaded Toyota Camry v6 is 40 grand it's not bad. Plus this has the performance pack which is miles better than 2015 version and this also has magnetic shocks it's not bad
He is wrong about a number of things. You can disable EVERY nanny while driving with a button or toggle switch.
It’s a catfish, the one before was a hammerhead shatrt
Not judging, but why buy an auto 5.0?
New automatics are pretty quick. I tried the 10 speed automatic yesterday, it was very quick! The only issue was when I tried to use paddles, there was some 2 seconds delay from the moment I shifted up or down and when it actually changed the gear:|
I only like the mustang convertible
Dam no more v6
$51,000 US??? That's ..ummm...remarkable
Ford made the front of this car look more like my mom ex station wagon from the 60s and 70s. Upgrade the technology but keep the car looking like a muscle car rather than a space mobile
Should have taken out the 6 spd. Yikes.
Dude, great review, but like all things new, you have to use and learn. The 10 speed is a marvel of technology, but you have to learn to use it. In other words, your assessment of Ford's 10 speed auto is menial at best.
For 51K I would buy a gently used GT350
Good luck with that. They are selling for at or over new on the secondary market
Regular GT350s are on Carmax for $49-55k in my area with under 10k mi. I guess the new 2018 models are about as fast so the value dropped on Shelbys.
@@SavageListener
Wtf where lmao
Stick shift option is a bit cheaper. I’ll stick to my current mustang.
Yawn. Anyone from MT or C&D as well as a dozen YTers would have tested that 0-60 no problem.
52k mustang gt?! Damn
Nice car but not for $51,000
James E. Its with options he have fully loaded gt with magnerized suspension option
That's a very loaded mustang, base price is at $35k and $39k for the premium.
My friend bought loaded mustang exactly like that for 43k wtf. On white fyi
Just wanted to ask or point out that. My brah just bought loaded GT exactly like this video(but hes on white) for 43k. How could GT in this video reached $51,000 ? that all iam asking
Must be broke
Visually, I can't tell that the front changed at all.
Something is seriously wrong with the world, there’s so much corporate greed. The Mustang was always supposed to be an affordable sports car, that was the origin of its design. I have a 2006 Mustang GT Premium that cost me $30,000 out the door in 2006. Now this new one is $51,000, that’s a 70% price increase. I guess in that amount of time again the new GT will be selling for $87,000. People’s salaries are not even increasing enough to keep up with these ludicrous price increases which span more than just the automotive sector.
Your 2006 Mustang GT Premium is a piece of shit, and was a piece of shit when you bought it. You can't compare that car to what it is today, and that's counting differences in standards throughout the years. The GT today starts off at 35,000. If you don't want fancy clusters or magnetic suspensions or heated steering wheels (all of which didn't even exist in 2006 for your GT )don't pay for that kind of shit and the price won't rise to 51,000. Use your brain.
Aram Garibyan get a life jackass
when you have nothing to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aram Garibyan and keep on driving your gay ass Honda Civic
Lol I drive a 4000 Japanese Luxury car that has more power to the wheels than you can count to, you inbred. And you probably couldn't afford it at the age of 40 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
His complaint about the transmission not down shifting when he wanted it to is absolutely ridiculous. If you want it to down shift you have to pull the down shift paddle. That's exactly why the paddles are there. That's like complaining that a manual transmission won't shift for you...
This is why you buy a used 3 year old mustang GT and save 20K.
venictos these will not be 20K in three years more like 35K
He said save 20k not buy it for 20k. I see 2015 mustang gt base models going for 25-26k now. 435 hp is more than enough I feel
Varun Menon yea of course base models depreciate lower. theres nothing special about them. But a premium with magnaride and the performance pack would retain more value
used muscle car is one of the worst decisions, esp a stick, all to often people sell them because they have abused them way to much, not knowing how to treat them. buy at your own risk.
Buy a base 2018 mustang gt in late 2019 for $26k
Catfish front end...
It is a really nice car, but at almost 52K I would take a low mile Challenger Hellcat any day over it. I do like the new styling of the GT,s front end and its a good-looking ride, but the lines and sinister old school hot looks of the Mopar together with all that incredible power just does it for me. When Hellcat was released in 2014, it singlehandedly set the standard and was the #1 car in the land. Lol so if that wasn't enough Dodge does one better and recently released Demon, I'm sure its giving the engineers at GM and Ford fits lol.
Ugg! I hate it when ppl vlog, drive and look at the camera. You don't have to look at the dang camera. Simple fix, point the camera down the road or stick it out the car or better yet, stick it on your head. Drive first, look at the camera never.
Even fully equipped its price is amazingly low.
slaWterCH Amazingly low? No. I’d rather buy preowned.
This car isn’t really all that expensive seeing you get a 460 hp v8 + fully loaded car lol
Cedric Henry right. Considering the v6 Toyota Camry full loaded is $40,000
Cedric Henry u can get a very for that much
chadsoandso ??
right? and Kia stinger have the balls to price theirs for 50k lol
MrJhAam lol now that Stinger is OVER priced
First time I see you in a 2 door car
Hammerhead shark . Ford were losing our pony!!!!!
$52k? lmao
Interior materials is wack
51,000 for a mustang and over 70,000 or a expedition!? No way!!
51k
- $20,000
+ 0% finance
+ $10,000 off for showing up to ford
And plastic interior
With belts that snap every 10k Miles
+ 57 gears you will only feel lag while looking like a limp bizcut fan who got a settlement
you need to learn how a automatic transmission works.. 😂.. First of all you need to understand and feel the transmission when you driving the car
So they basically playing catch up with chevy camaro ss
I really don't like its design
too expensive
You can get a base model GT with cloth seats for $35k ?!?!
This guy is boring me to death...
2004 is better
So all the changes but yet another fail on safety. A new hero car in 2018 that is not 5 Star??????? I guess it is a bit like Monty python “Dont mention the war” when it comes to ANCAP safety.
Automatic = Boring
Not at all! Drive the new 10 speed, you might actually like it.
Looks horrible
Wow! Overpriced and undersized interior! Evidently, I need to be a "loaded" smaller in stature sized person to qualify. Too bad, I'm just gonna have to pass then...Too bad for me?
Edysin Simon is going down to the game and it was so much fun with like can I love you too a
I'm Not a Ford Guy and it takes so Much $$$$ to Compare to any Camaro for less you get More in the Camaro... I'm a Chevy Guy!
except chevys cost more and you get less
No they don't for Added performance and Handling as Ford Mustang does... Just look at it through all Models of the Camaro... You get More for Less from GM..
Carroll enjoy your Camaro.
Carroll Chevy is inconsistent and dodge is straight garbage...ford best American brand
Way overpriced for a Ford Mustang.
#1 selling sports car on earth.
Hot garbage for 50 grand plus..Lol gtfoh
