The Mustang has come a long way. My first *new* car was a 1988 LX 5.0 that I bought when I was 20 (36 years ago). It was 225 HP and 0-60 was 6 seconds and it was king of the road back then. No A/C, cloth seats, no power windows or door locks, no stereo even, and just shy of $13k. Got it in Blue as well.
I've had a base model 2024 Ecoboost for a couple months that I got for $32k and bought as a daily driver. I've had several GTs since 2007, including a 2021 most recently. I have to say, the car is really nice with wireless carplay and plenty of standard features. The updated 2.3L is PLENTY for the street. You can drive it like a total clown in track mode and not get into too much trouble. It's a really fun car. Handles great. I average 24 mpg.
i rented one for a trip from South Florida to Vermont and back to South Florida. I lived with the '24 ecoboost for about 3 weeks and absolutely loved it!! In fact, I loved it so much I bought one as soon as I got back to Florida. I got the Premium Package with the 201A high option package. Fantastic car!! Very good performance. Its not the GT but it has more than enough power to give you a gratifying sensation when you stomp on the gas, and as Joe says, the handling is really very good. Great car for running to the store for groceries (nice sized trunk) but also very comfortable on a long trip. Expect about 34mpg driving at 80mph on the highway but so far, in the terrible South Florida traffic, the best ive gotten is 24mpg.
I rented a 2023 manual eco boost from Turo a few months ago. What a blast that was to drive. Got decent MPG even though I drove it enthusiastically shall we say. I’m 6’4” and fit well too. IMHO that generation (GT & Eco) were the pinnacle of the Mustang family.
I love the clean look. I own a 2021 Ecoboost. Plenty of fun. Owned a number of GT’s as well. Gotten older and needed something with less power and a auto transmission.
Over here talking about needing less power when my 76 year old grandmother bangs through gears. If you want a slower car that’s fine, but don’t blame old age.
@@SuperSlowFive0he talked a out himself. How frustrated you have to be to think that just because HE GOT OLDER AND WANTED SOMETHING LESS POWERFUL he was talking for everyone😂😂😂
4 years ago. Gas was around $2.00 per gallon. There's this thing called inflation. Sucks, but a reality. If you skip some if the options like the heated and cooled seats. You can get this car in the $30,000. It seems that every vehicle no matter the brand tested by professional automotive magazines and U-tubers is the top of the line regarding options and pricing.
This has options my guy. Starting price is 30k base and 36k Prem. Fully loaded around 46k, which isn't bad given that the last gen EB went up to 45k. That's in line with the other turbo 4 banger cars. Supra 2.0, 230i, CTR/ITS, Golf R...etc.
@@jp23x That's fully loaded including all the luxury features. 2.3 High Performance Pack which got some good upgrades. It further closes the gap leaving only a 0.3s difference between the EB and GT. Active exhaust and magnaride push it up to 48k.
I would certainly choose the V8 gt, but I do like that color and the wheels. It's also nice that the non V8 versions look WAY better than past ones. It looks higher quality unlike v6 challengers.
Right my sons 24 has same rattle dang so annoying it’s split screen and rattles come on ford you can do better on these new ones get together.my 23 premium doesn’t have any rattles .
@@RaitisRides Yes. It comes and goes and it actually stops when you hold down and put pressure on the screen. There’s actually a bunch of new S650 owners that are having the same issues ((Mustang 7G FORUM). Mine started making noise after putting 400 miles on it, some had it after 700 to a 1000 miles on it. Gonna have it checked on my first service.
@@sammyjammy6647 took it to 2 dealerships, they did not do anything about it. Just last week I red in one of the mustang forum that theres was this guy that was able to fix his screen problem by inserting a double adhesive tape in to the part of the screen that rattles. In my case it’s the upper right side of the screen. I’m waiting for my tape to arrive and try it.. hopefully it works.
Used to have manual but such a low percentage of people purchased manual ecoboosts that Ford opted to not waste their time making those for the 2024 year
@@TheWingmanPro I believe the take rate for Mustang Ecoboost with manual was around 5%. So apparently there should be hardly any complaints because nobody is buying them.
This is incredible performance for a base Mustang. I had mustangs growing up and had a 1991 GT followed by a 1993 Cobra, and the Cobra, I believe, had around 240hp and did zero to 60 in about 5.7 seconds. 4.5 zero to 60 in this is unbelievable and looks like a definite purchase. I don't care for the screens at all, but I guess we're stuck with them in pretty much all vehicles now. I'd strongly prefer gauges placed in traditional manner that are digital without taking over the cockpit. I guess it's time for me to start yelling "get off my lawn"! Lol
it's a good little ride for the price value ,& good on gas & insurance . if I needed a 2nd car I would buy this to be my daily driver.. As stated it's good on gas & insurance isn't too expensive compared with the GT V8....
Had an EcoBoost 4 Cyl. as a Rental. I thought it was a V8 at first, I was impressed with the exhaust tone and acceleration. When I checked under the hood I was surprised. The mileage was also impressive.
In my college days, two cars I greatly admired were the 3000GT/Stealth and the 300ZX. Mustang Ecoboost looks like it can give me a similar and maybe even better experience to those cars, which is why I'm getting one.
Thinking about ordering a custom build with dark matter color, nite pony package, red seats, and with the upgraded exhaust and red accent racing stripe. Always wanted a Mustang as my dream car and with how much I travel, seems like a great choice for me.
For a first time Pony Car buyer this is a great buy. As is, this Ecosport is a VERY FAST CAR. This "bottom feeder" Stang is faster than my old 69 Mach 1 428cj that only got to 60 in 5.8 sec. And this one is 4.5??? All the speed anybody needs in my book.
I had a 2015 V6 Camaro, unfortunately some 18 year old who didn't know how to drive totaled it. Now I'm looking into an ecoboost because you get the style of a nice car, it's faster than a normal sedan, and it won't guzzle as much as my Camaro did
I currently have a 2014 Camaro V6 and I'm looking closely at this new Mustang as well. Still enough power but better on miles. Glad I'm not the only Camaro guy looking at Mustangs
@@ma0491 The ecoboost looks beautiful, especially if you add on some body kit options. I was also looking at the V4 Camaros with a body kit. But I was talking with Chevy and parts are so back ordered, this one dude is waiting 7 months for a taillight. Told me if I do end up getting one, don’t get in an accident lol
@notleoso V4? There's no camaro with a V4 or the Mustang, mostly motorcycles have those. It's an I4. Inline 4. I hate when people call them V4s. It just sounds so ridiculous. No car guy would ever say that.
Love the Mustang reviews Joe. I own a 2018 MT82 base model ecoboost, and even though they won’t mass produce a manual in 2024 they should reconsider offering an option to have a manual build in the configurator. They don’t need to make them in mass; offering the option would be no different than when automatic transmissions were the optional configuration back in the day. If they offered a manual ecoboost, they would make me seriously reconsider upgrading.
Love the Atlas blue. Couldn’t get it from any dealership so I went dark matter grey instead which is ok. The stripes on Atlas blue make it look unique and classy. Spoiler delete makes it look less punk like and more mature.
I wish it was a Hatchback as this is the Same as my 2021 and the Rear Window is IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN THE insides due to the Deck plate behind the rear seat is too tight to have access to..
The thing is, with the S650 platform Joe, I do like the rear-end of this a tad better than the S550. The biggest thing that I miss from that gwneration was the Darth Vader inspired front end. That was pretty bad ass. Another thing I noticed is that Atlas Blue looks similar to Apex Blue from Acura? Or is it just me?
I’m new and I really like ford mustang yet I want one with a eco friendly yet can give better performance. So, What’s the difference between eco boost and high performance, they both 2.3L T, so which one is worth the performance and also fuel economy?
Had an 18' Ecoboost..., and still have a 2020 HPP Ecoboost... with 332 H.P. and it's rated for 5 seconds based on actual 0-60 times. There is NO WAY that at 315 H.P. the new one is 4.5 seconds 0-60, or a couple tenths slower than the new V-8 Joe. Please, be honest with us. Is it a better performer than the 2020 HPP???? Serious answer only please cause I highly doubt it...plus no hood vents is a donk too.
@@TheModernPioneer It is if you want to go fast, that's an upgrade with an updated tune. The demographics are different as well. That said, the S650 as a whole is a big letdown. This is what happens when there is no competition.
@@ClickbaitMotorsports it is certainly faster, but I can purchase an aftermarket tune a lot cheaper than I can swap my entire transmission. And I like the S650 overall, but I agree it’s a let down in the aspect that it doesn’t separate itself enough from the previous generation. I feel no need to ever swap my S550 for an S650.
@@TheModernPioneer The S650 has a locked ECU. So no native tuning is available, unless a company gets licensing from Ford. Again, another downgrade and bad for consumers.
What's not to like? Performance, handling, decent economy and sharp looking. I'm past the supercar age and just want something FUN. I rented an ecoboost convertible in 2020 and loved it. I WILL have one before I'm too old to enjoy it.
What's not to like? Price. I bought a 2014 V6 convertible brand new. Manual transmission (rare) and a decent spec. Out the door was 30k. Yeah yada yada inflation, but a brand new Ecoboost convertible with ZERO options? $41k. Make it nice? $50k. That's base BMW 2 series or loaded 2 series/base M240i respectively.
@@gordonmills2748 That's why I won't buy new. I'll let someone else take the 2-3 year depreciation hit. I AM interested to hear folks' feedback on how well the Ecoboosts are holding up long term, though.
The 2024 EB Mustang is very value priced as long as one shows discipline with the option list. And the EB is very quick and Ford seems to have improved its exhaust note.
High insurance on an Ecoboost? My 5.0 Mustang costs only $60 a month to insure but it's my second car and I only drive it half time and only in the summer.
Can't believe I like three things better on this 4 cylinder, cleaner grill, 5 spoke rims and the rear spoiler delete all make for a cleaner looking car. The lack of paddle shifters on a 10 speed auto is a deal breaker however.
The discontinued V6 mustang still has the best value for its price imo. Just got a 2017 one with Grey exterior and Black interior with 68Km for only 30k after tax, which is like almost 20k less than this ecoboost V4 mustang. The plat form is decent, don't get me wrong, but it's just overpriced imo.
Wound up with one from Enterprise and it was pretty good. Steering was always skittish even in comfort mode. Synch was maddening though. I'm sure you can learn it, but for a four day rental I found it so unintuitive as to be laughable. I was initially fooled by how well connecting my phone went. But there is where insanity lies. You find yourself with great navigation and Pandora going on together and then dare to push menu buttons to change anything? Lookout because all hell breaks loose. I found myself at times looking at a six inch am radio station indicator on the left side of the screen and no way out that was easy when I'm in a new city and looking for the turn. Then it's hard to get back into navigation even when your phone has never lost connection.
Hey you and Laurie are both Tall. I’m tall too. I love a mustang and am thinking of getting one . None of us are getting younger . How’s getting in and out of that bad boy ??
I rented an EcoBoost convertible in AZ last year. It had more than enough power for what it was. I just wish they offered a rental with a manual transmission. I honestly missed rowing through the gears more than not having the V8 noises and power. It's a shame the 24 EcoBoost doesn't offer a 6 speed.
Nice looking Mustang but they do have problems with the Ford Ecoboost engines due to the Turbocharger and oiling issues, much rather have naturally asperated American Muscle ! If I did buy one of these I would want to install an oil cooler and do regular oil changes about every 5000 miles which is ideal for any Turbo engine to help make it last for the long run.
@@RaitisRides The most common issues on todays Ford Ecoboost engines are overheating, oil leaks, and turbocharger failure and the turbo failures are mostly due to a lack of good lubrication. Tons of videos on TH-cam about Ford ecoboost problems.
I think gonna keep my Ecoboost 2018 for a long, long time Leather interior, heat/cool seats, etc. Now I understand why the guy in the Ford Service want to buy my car. 43K is too much, IMO. That was the price of the GT back in 2018 (Ecoboost was around half of that price). The only thing I dont like for the 2024 is: TOO MANY (and big) TOUCH SCREENS. I rather the analog dashboard than the screens. If would like screens, I would aim for a Tesla. But again, this is my opinion
I can't stand leather. It's great new but not after 7-10 years. Hot in summer, cold in winter. I know they're heated and cooled but still. Prefer cloth. I'm more planted in the seat especially during hard cornering. I tend to move around on leather seats
@@panglingaow Doesn’t if I’ve driven one or not, ecoboost are ass and you’re a little angry man that can’t handle someone’s opinion, guess what buddy your opinion or how you feel isn’t the only thing in this world.
@mystictk4149 I did you loser. I bought a 24 ecoboost. Now if you want to talk shit give me your address like a real man. Other than that shutup internet banger. Little bi*ch
I don’t get the power seat obsession. You should be the only occupant in a vehicle like this >90% of the time. You don’t ever move the seat. Take out power seats.
I'd like to put the V-6 Ecoboost twisted up to Ford GT specs under the hood of a 1970 Mustang. No badges, no stripes just a front and rear spoiler and suitable chassis mods.
I think the eccoboost with the high-performance package would be a fun little sport car! My last mustang was a 2007 GT. This has more HP than that car.
Look Joe I understand Ford is trying to make up for all the standard software upgrade this new gen mustang brings but $43k for an eco boost is insane. This car is fun as I’ve driven it at work but damn, at that price you might as well reach for the V8.

i don’t understand where he got that price tag from, the MSRP is like $31,000
Where are the paddles??
4.5 seconds now? that is fast.
No paddles to shift is crazy
I honestly test drove one and fell in love with it and almost ordered one till I saw how much my insurance was gonna be😢
High insurance on an Ecoboost? My 5.0 Mustang costs only $60 a month to insure but it's my second car and I only drive it half time and only in the summer.
Can't believe I like three things better on this 4 cylinder, cleaner grill, 5 spoke rims and the rear spoiler delete all make for a cleaner looking car. The lack of paddle shifters on a 10 speed auto is a deal breaker however.
Yes of course Joe & I'm planned to buy one.
I can see you in this one.
...that price rises an interesting question: would you choose it over a GolfR?
RAITI. 2022 mustang premium ecoboost in shadow black with night pony package, or 2024/'25 mustang in vapor blue metallic?
The discontinued V6 mustang still has the best value for its price imo. Just got a 2017 one with Grey exterior and Black interior with 68Km for only 30k after tax, which is like almost 20k less than this ecoboost V4 mustang. The plat form is decent, don't get me wrong, but it's just overpriced imo.
I have one in the night and pony package its awesome. I recommend absolutely
I'll take on of these for $28-$32k OTD. Not a penny more
Have you seen car prices lately
@@RaitisRides Yup, and the customer's wallet speaks at the end of the day 👌
Cheap skate
then you wont be taking one of these at all lol
I took video's of the Dark Horse at the autoshow. Brooo dopest sports muscle car ive seen in ages
I bought my GT350 after you bought yours back in 2020 😎
how come this ecoboost has the 2 screens connected to eachother ?
premiums have the scream’s connected
Paddle shifters only available in performance package ecoboost
Wound up with one from Enterprise and it was pretty good. Steering was always skittish even in comfort mode. Synch was maddening though. I'm sure you can learn it, but for a four day rental I found it so unintuitive as to be laughable. I was initially fooled by how well connecting my phone went. But there is where insanity lies. You find yourself with great navigation and Pandora going on together and then dare to push menu buttons to change anything? Lookout because all hell breaks loose. I found myself at times looking at a six inch am radio station indicator on the left side of the screen and no way out that was easy when I'm in a new city and looking for the turn. Then it's hard to get back into navigation even when your phone has never lost connection.
The Ecoboost Perf Pack has trans switches on the steering wheel.
If I was in a manual Mustang GT, I wouldn't want to race this EB Mustang from 0-60. Because I would lose unless I had a ton of grip.
Hey you and Laurie are both Tall. I’m tall too. I love a mustang and am thinking of getting one . None of us are getting younger . How’s getting in and out of that bad boy ??
Easy as can be Daymon. Ford actually designed the opening of the door so an adult could get in easily with a helmet on.
With the resurgence of inline-6 engines, it would have been cool to see Ford come out with a turbo i-6 engine for the Mustang.
I wonder why they didn't add paddles to these ?
What is your advice for someone who is more into sports car not muscle cars. Fun to drive, better control and fun at corners - GT or EcoBoost?
The EB...
This Mustang Ecoboost or Used 21’ Audi S5?
When you sit in, what will you see, the road or the hood and lcd screens lol.
That is so very true. Mostly screens though.
I rented an EcoBoost convertible in AZ last year. It had more than enough power for what it was. I just wish they offered a rental with a manual transmission. I honestly missed rowing through the gears more than not having the V8 noises and power. It's a shame the 24 EcoBoost doesn't offer a 6 speed.
Nice looking Mustang but they do have problems with the Ford Ecoboost engines due to the Turbocharger and oiling issues, much rather have naturally asperated American Muscle ! If I did buy one of these I would want to install an oil cooler and do regular oil changes about every 5000 miles which is ideal for any Turbo engine to help make it last for the long run.
I haven’t head about these issues
Must be a different ecoboost engine the only flaw with the gen 1 2.3 was head gasket and open deck block other than that it was solid
@@RaitisRides The most common issues on todays Ford Ecoboost engines are overheating, oil leaks, and turbocharger failure and the turbo failures are mostly due to a lack of good lubrication. Tons of videos on TH-cam about Ford ecoboost problems.
That seems like very good value! Thanks guys! 👍🏻
You’re awesome, love your reviews.
I can't do it with out your support!
Not offering a manual option on the base mustang is crazy
Knew that fake vent was gonna get zonked 😂😂😂😂
You know me well
I think gonna keep my Ecoboost 2018 for a long, long time Leather interior, heat/cool seats, etc. Now I understand why the guy in the Ford Service want to buy my car. 43K is too much, IMO. That was the price of the GT back in 2018 (Ecoboost was around half of that price).
The only thing I dont like for the 2024 is: TOO MANY (and big) TOUCH SCREENS. I rather the analog dashboard than the screens. If would like screens, I would aim for a Tesla. But again, this is my opinion
I can't stand leather. It's great new but not after 7-10 years. Hot in summer, cold in winter. I know they're heated and cooled but still. Prefer cloth. I'm more planted in the seat especially during hard cornering. I tend to move around on leather seats
You can get paddles with the EcoBoost, you just need the right package.
You can get the last gen eco boost for less than 20k with a decent or even lower amount of miles
That is so very true
I think the flat black on the back is a little high up on the body.
God I want one so bad! I’d totally lease one for sure! Just so expensive 😫
JJ ~ it's a pretty color, your auto reviews are the bestest. I love you guys. tony
Can we expect a manual ecoboosts some day ?
They are nice for sure but idk if I could ever do a Ecoboost, I need something with power.
You clearly haven't driven the new 2024 EcoBoost! 0- 60 in 4.5 seconds, that's why I bought one over to GT. The EcoBoost is fast the GT is insane
@@panglingaow Doesn’t if I’ve driven one or not, ecoboost are ass and you’re a little angry man that can’t handle someone’s opinion, guess what buddy your opinion or how you feel isn’t the only thing in this world.
@@panglingaow I’ve seen other comments you made, you’re saying you buy all these 😭 stop lying and actually go do something with your life.
@mystictk4149 I did you loser. I bought a 24 ecoboost. Now if you want to talk shit give me your address like a real man. Other than that shutup internet banger. Little bi*ch
I don’t get the power seat obsession. You should be the only occupant in a vehicle like this >90% of the time. You don’t ever move the seat. Take out power seats.
I'd like to put the V-6 Ecoboost twisted up to Ford GT specs under the hood of a 1970 Mustang. No badges, no stripes just a front and rear spoiler and suitable chassis mods.
Amazing review Joe.
For 43k i would prefer a 2.0 supra looks way better.
That is another way you can go
I think the eccoboost with the high-performance package would be a fun little sport car! My last mustang was a 2007 GT. This has more HP than that car.
i got the ‘19 ecoboost but this look tuff fr
Love my Ecoboost...2019!
That is so awesome to hear!
Look Joe I understand Ford is trying to make up for all the standard software upgrade this new gen mustang brings but $43k for an eco boost is insane. This car is fun as I’ve driven it at work but damn, at that price you might as well reach for the V8.
Love this video and how you explain everything in detail. Including it's legendary history. 🙌 ❤Ty! 💙👌🥰
So it's a newer version of the fusion
Can't wait for the "To the Door Panel" forearm tat
Wow have prices went up, I had a 2012 mustang v6 premium and don’t think I even paid 30k 💀
Hopefully they make AWD Mustang.
Not with an IICE setup.
Awd v8 like the Corvette would be awesome.
@@RaitisRides Correct!
@@comicrandomness3289 right!
Flat black or gloss black doesn' t matter, for me it's too big to served as bumper for a car, the size fits well to a truck i suppose.
Joe I love this blue, if would buy a mustang I would definitely get that color
Do not buy wait for 3rd Gen to come out mines has so many issues
