Holy production value. You guys are killing it. PS now that Scott has been rebranded to i-Turbowski I feel he is more approachable and better fits my busy, eco-conscious lifestyle.
It's just pointless. I'd rather have a number of 4 cylinder turbo cars like the Focus ST, Focus ST, Fiesta ST, Veloster N, WRX, etc. If you're going to have a muscle car, anything except a VW is just like, "why?" Smaller, lighter cars with a 4 cylinder are more fun as well as more practical. If you're going to get something impractical, go all the way at least.
@@mudgatebronn4438 I just think its a good looking car. No need to be so toxic against people who didn't need or want the V8. When all cars go electric, any gas guzzler is going to seem like a dinosaur anyway.
@@rickmassey1272 yep. Same with his history, "first 4 cyl turbo in a mustang"...missed 79-93 then, The SVO, and GT turbo.... needs to do his research before saying retarded stuff, as well as learn to drive
@@theripper121 lol sure, I never said I was a good driver. Only that he was shameful driving. I am fairly certain I drive better...But thats just a 700 hp fox, and a 500 HP firebirdbtalking 🤷♂️
I knew for me the 2017 Ecoboost premium was the best option. I appreciate the looks and miles per gallon --- 20 mpg combined and 34 to 36 highway. I've driven three adults for short trips. It's a great daily driver and is very comfortable on road trips. I like the toggle strips. The trunk is spacious and folding down the rear seats makes it great for the occasional need to to haul longer items. Thanks for the review
When I worked in a Ford dealer service department, we talked about how there were Ford drivers and Mustang drivers. They were two entirely different people
I've started shopping for a used "muscle" car and have been going through a ton of videos to get a baseline of sorts.. this channel is the best one I've come across yet. I've got more info in the two videos of theirs that I've watched than the others combined.
Hey, after watching your review and talking to you a bit in the comment section I ended up getting a 2015 mustang Gt premium. The review is spot on, but aside from all of its flaws, I love it. I've wanted one since I was a sophomore in high school and now I finally own one. The car has horrible panel gaps, interior rattles, but other than that, it's great. No the interior isn't of the highest quality but for 32k I can't complain. It's a great car to drive. Thanks, Grayson.
belated congratulations! and i knew about ford quality, so i've accepted the rattles and gaps. just got an ecoboost last month, and have put 1600 in less than a month. i quite enjoy it.
Really love your reviews. Seriously one of the best vehicle reviewers on TH-cam. I wish you had a shotgun mic though, sometimes it's hard to hear your buddy!
Its not that bad at all. You gotta be aware that you're driving a car that has 400+ hp and 400tq. every car will loose it ass in the wet with that power.
It's gonna be even worse after a light rain because all the dirt, pollen, and maybe even automotive fluids form a film instead of getting washed away. So yeah, any car could crash there, if the driver isn't paying attention.
Red Trek yea, it happened to me on my 200hp fwd car, almost crashed head on. I under estimated the first rain after a long time. Rookie mistake, respect the first rain, no matter the car, with or without TC or ABS.
We all know Gooseman can drive, but no one pointed out the incredible reaction skills of the Cavalier wagon driver? I mean...I'm really impressed given the vehicle didn't explode. Also, love the intro cover song, my favorite Rolling Stones song ever :)
That's exactly how I got crashed, my only crash so far. "Me got green light, me no need to check the opposing lane when going left". Except I tried to get out of that by braking and unfortnately, my car didn't have the mustang brakes. It was a company i30 I didn't care about anyway.
Seriously one of the best Mustang reviews I've seen. I especially like how they brought up the issues with the eco boost engine. No one else has even mentioned it. Keep it up.. You'll be big time soon!
MAP makes a stellar replacement intercooler. It's what I have on my 2016, factory precision mounting. Easy install. and temps are very low now. Mishi makes an easy catch can kit that takes like 15 mins to install. Those are the only improvements on mine and I average 27 mpg as my daily driver. The GT model is awesome, but for a daily, I chose to save 8k and fuel.
I rented 17 ecoboost convertible and had 28-30 mpg while i was testing calm driving at 70mph. As much as i would like to hate 4 banger Mustang idea, it really does good job at affordability and economy and you do get over 300 hp and dual exhaust.
Midwest Mopars My C5 Corvettes would easily get 30 mpg highway. I modded my 99’ frc to ~400 hp, and regularly got 38-40 mpg highway. With the 3.42 rear end and the T-56 Tremecs tall gearing (4th, 5th, and 6th were ALL overdrives. 4th was 1:1), I was revving barely 1,000 at 70 and with maybe 1/8 throttle. Sounds unbelievable, but true. Big V-8’s fuel mileage with tall gearing can shock you.
Eddie Becerra it definitely does. One time we took a road trip 600 miles total, 4 people, trunk full of luggage, and drove it around the city for the weekend, and when we got back it got 31 mpg for the whole trip.
This is a great review! As crazy as the GT might be on the street it still looks like a lot of fun. The Ecoboost is a great platform to start modifying, although the GT is ready to go fast right from the factory. Either one looks like a fun car!
22:15 WTF was that- I'm only about 5 years late in making this comment. New or old reviews, I always enjoy watching Mark's Savage Geese Reviews and see how much he's evolved into a great car reviewer!
I pulled the sound tube, replaced the resonator with Ford Racing X pipe with the Borla GT axle back mufflers, and added the catch can. 19,000 miles and zero issues.
great review! one of the more technically-oriented automotive channels, which enthusiasts like us appreciate. we care less about the cosmetics, more about the mechanical! so happy i found this channel, and subscribed!
Your reviews stand (bald) head and shoulders above the rest. And they keep getting better and better. The in-depth info, your buttery-smooth delivery, and the nifty production value all just work. Bravo. But more importantly ... when are you gonna get your hands on a 2016 Miata? That extravaganza will be 35 minutes of bliss.
Hey guys just wanted to say I went with a 2017 Ecoboost Premium and despite getting caught in traffic most days I've been averaging 26 mpg overall after about 3,000 miles of driving. Driving it in the NYC area has been really great for me. It's my first car on a long list of cars that I'd like to buy and I think starting out with it was the right call. Great video as always, I used it while doing research on my car choice.
Well, I finally bought one. A 2015 perf pack eco with no other options but recaros. Comp orange. Manual. Been looking for such a car since 2015. It's slow, far from perfect, but it's comfy and the best entry level mustang to date. I dearly like it so far. There is some SVO Fox in its genes and that's a plus. Just had to come back and let you know that your review way back when assisted with planting the seed.
I never comment on TH-cam videos, but my oh my! Spectacular review. I stumbled upon your channel 2 hours ago and have watched several of your reviews. Keep up the great work man!!
LD ODOM I've watched a lot of reviews on the mustang gt and camaro ss. Both are very fast and would be so much fun to daily drive. Seems the camaro handles better in the twisties
VERY good review brother! i love seeing someone emphasize the feel, the power, the steering ect in describing the cars...no theatrics ,just a review that accurately translates what its like to be in the drivers seat... good work
You are just the Best Car Reviewer!! Love Ur Videos Can't figure out how I can sit and watch 40m of this video and enjoy every second! Thanks for the Great Work !
I bought a new 10th gen Civic Si after your review on it. I’ve owned many iterations of the Si and the new 10th gen is by far my favorite. The LSD makes the car really good in the canyons. The new 1.5 is turning out to be a powerhouse with minimal tuning. Love the channel. It’s the car show for car guys. 🍻
Again, by far the best reviews on youtube. I can actually sit through the 30 minutes and enjoy it. While I enjoy other reviewers too, more then 5 minutes and I'm done. Do you by chance know if you are going to get to drive/review the current generation WRX? I am interested in knowing what you think of it. Especially in terms of comparing it to other competitors in its class.
+savagegeese, I don't think you'll have traction issues with the 2016 STI. ;-) Oh and the 2015 GT with Performance Pack should have been equipped with Summer Tires which are not run flats. Wouldn't have made a difference with all that weight on the front end in the wet though. ;-)
In 2020 the 2015-2017 EcoBoost is such a deal for a super fun everyday workmobile. Car has a lot of oomph and character and so easy to buy and live with.
Its the intro, the music, the b roll that gets me. Damn you guys do solid work in your reviews and I can feel the passion you guys put into all your reviews, im glad ive been subscribed!
Most Honda 4's from the 80's and 90's sounded wonderful. The Saab 900 turbo, any Lancia, the Fiat 500 Abarth, 2015 WRX, The Alfa 4c..........thats all I have. I did get my BRZ to sound very good by plugging the sound tube and adding a Tekada air intake. I messed up the sound slightly when I added a Borla cat-back.
I've never 100% agreed with everything said about a car in any review anywhere, except this one. Another excellent production, and I do mean production.
Great review. I rented the ecoboost on a recent vacation. You absolutely nailed it on the steering feel. It's the big let down of the Mustang. For luxury this is a great car for the money. It's heavy and front heavy. Not to be confused with a sports car no matter how fast they make them or what they can do on a track. I appreciate what you're saying about the GT being too fast to enjoy on the fast. I think with where horsepower is going the qualities that will be important are connection and feeling fast. On that note looking forward to the review of the MX-5. Nice touch with he shots of Arlington and the Stones cover. I hope viewers get it. Please keep them coming. If you do a Patreon, let us know. FWIW I'd like more enthusiast cars including used cars. Loved the S2K videos. Looking for one.
Great reviews, man. Keep up the good work. I love the discussions of the suspension while underneath the car. Almost nobody else does that. Now as for your criticism of the GT's handling: If you have a 400+ hp V8, you can't go into a corner off throttle in the rain then stab the throttle mid-corner. Even the most controlled cars will yaw violently under those conditions. In other words, your statement that you have no confidence in the GT's handling would apply to any other high-horsepower, rear-drive car.
I'm a euro guy but truthfully the quality of production in this review took me from not giving a four fingered fuck about the mustang to wanting to buy one just to drive around listening to wild horses on loop. Well done.
I really do like your show,you guys are funny in a good way.And at the way you represent your videos are on a upper level then any of those guys.Good job!
I'm currently on business travel and AVIS gave me a 2017 GT Premium 5.0 at no extra charge, and it's awesome. My daily drivers are a Prius and CX-5, so renting this is a great experience.
I have to disagree you on the dials and trigger switches, I think they look superb and so unique. A direct link to the mustang aircraft that you won't find on any other car,and that's what sets it apart.
I think your traction issues in the GT are likely tire related. Mine was scary until I put really light wheels with Yoko Advan 255 front/275 rears on it. Totally different car. It originally had some shitty Pirelli pzeros on it and I felt like every drop of water on the road was going to spin me.
I know the last comment is like a year old, but I have to say I enjoy your vids. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into these (with really professional results). Your subtle sarcasm cracks me up too, especially the bit about the Pontiac Sunfire. Nice touch with the ugly green color and rusted body panels.
I thought I had buzzing in my dash. I was tapping on things for weeks to make it shut up. On one trip, the buzz came back, I listened real close. Clutch in and punch the throttle, shift back into 6th aggressively. The buzz never came back. Weird. It was something to do with the transmission. My car doesn't have any creaks, buzzes or rattles now
Fantastic unbiased review brother! just So in depth that u blow away the other wanna be car reviewers..Heres the strange impression that came across from this review....it seemed as if you actuallt had more FUN driving that eco boost than u did driving the 8cyl.....you were able to get on it, use the power it had and actually drive faster than the truly terrified look you had trying to control that v8 putting its power down theu 2 skinny banana peels...of course it was wet, and if it were dry and at the track id bet u would always go with the v8...but what u showed was everyday driving and how each may do in that scenerio..the v8 was rreally an accident waiting to happen,especially in the hands of a teen...try telling a teen to go with an eco boost and good luck with that! great review
GT Perf Pack does not have runflats. They give you an air compressor that can inject tire goo Also note that if you get the Premium model and then get recaros it deletes the heated/cooled and power seat features.
That was an exceptional review. I loved the video/shots, humor and everything! I just got a new triple black GT convertible manual and I agree with your comments (especially the steering modes/feel, comfort is the best). The thing is a bit of a land yacht, yes, but the ride quality is buttery smooth, it's a great GT car. Coming from a 2014 Boxster, the GT can't really corner that well, but how often can you really get to do that? I'll take the V-8 burble/punch and glass-like ride!
I really love that this video with its videography and sound seems so cinematic. Really freaking awesome video.. I legitimately find myself coming back to this video and watching it fully almost once a month now xD.
Im sure you guys spend a LOT of time on all your videos which always have such nice Videography skills and set ups. THANK YOU, for being so awesome. :D
Clearly Scott has great taste in cars (MOPAR) and is just being nice to those other cars. Obviously a Hemi with a blower (the Hellcat) is the only real muscle car out there. Sometimes the truth hurts and thats just the way it is. Its nice to meet like wise people, its refreshing :)
Very good review! I do want to note that with the center console, the release/open-latch is on both sides. I reach across to the far side next to the passenger seat, palm down, and pluck up to open it - it's not awkward at all. If I tried to open it with the closest latch on the driver side, that would indeed be super awkward. I know you had a limited time with the car(s) so I suppose you didn't realize that the latch was on both sides haha. I have the all-season pirelli p. zero neros on my '16 GT and even with the all season tires it's terrible in wet when punching it even mildly from a stop. Very annoying as the all seasons on my '13 GT were 100% fine. I'm considering getting different tires and I barely have 2300 miles since getting it in October, and I certainly don't ride it hard either.
Another great review. I actually stumbled onto your channel when I was car hunting about 6 months ago. The first review I watched from you was the Chevy Colorado. Funny thing about it all is I ended up going with the 15' Mustang, and ever since then I was hoping you'd review this car. The biggest part I stress to people is the affordability; the price of this car, from the base V6 all the way up to a loaded GT makes it affordable for just about anyone (like you said) with a job. The value is there. Keep up the awesome reviews!
Dammit I like the new Mustang, but here in the diesel-loving, petrol loathing UK, it only really makes sense to get the ecoboost. Also, dammit I can't find that cover of wild horses anywhere! Help, please?
Somebody please correct me but the story I got was that this is a Mazda design (invention) and that Ford (who has a share in Mazda) stole it! For all you Miata swap fans: here's your huckleberry! The 5.0 GT couldn't keep up with a Miata in the wet. This is a thorough review that reminds me why I chose the BMW 330cic over the "faster, more powerful Mustang ( which I still wanna like ).
Great detailed review of both the Ecoboost and GT which gave an excellent comparison of both cars helping me decide which one I would like to buy. It was interesting to see that while driving the GT, you were following a Red Miata convertible which is what I own now and what I'll be trading in for the Mustang. I do have one question regarding your review of the GT however. Why in the world would you want to test drive a 5.0 on wet roads? Of course it's going to get rear end happy on wet road conditions especially if you're running fun-flats and traction control is off. I think you scared the crap out of some would-be GT buyers watching you fight the wheel during acceleration and did a general disservice to an otherwise great handling car as defined by most reputable auto reviewers.
Agreed. I have a 2015 5.0 6 speed and the handling in the wet is pretty accurate but doing the review in the wet doesn't really depict its overall handling. In the dry even on Michelin all seasons first gear can grab traction at WOT and it's very controllable even on throttle around corners. In the rain though you need to be aware because it will go sideways even in 2nd or 3 with traction control on.
In addition to your point regarding why choose a mustang over a supercar. It's an icon. In europe, the mustang will draw a lot of attention, no matter if its a 2005 one.
Good to return to some of the older videos. I still think the 2015 Mustang is gorgeous. Not too much grey exterior plastic, lighting is still modern looking. WAIT A MINUTE, 4:48, is that who I think it is?
I’m here in 2024….and I love the growth this channel has seen. Way to go goose
Jack is a massive upgrade from Scott. Still a useful review in 2022. Thanks!

Again, by far the best reviews on youtube. I can actually sit through the 30 minutes and enjoy it. While I enjoy other reviewers too, more then 5 minutes and I'm done. Do you by chance know if you are going to get to drive/review the current generation WRX? I am interested in knowing what you think of it. Especially in terms of comparing it to other competitors in its class.
Waiting for 2016 Subies to be added to fleet. Then Wrx and STI.
savagegeese Sounds great.
+savagegeese, I don't think you'll have traction issues with the 2016 STI. ;-) Oh and the 2015 GT with Performance Pack should have been equipped with Summer Tires which are not run flats. Wouldn't have made a difference with all that weight on the front end in the wet though. ;-)

In 2020 the 2015-2017 EcoBoost is such a deal for a super fun everyday workmobile. Car has a lot of oomph and character and so easy to buy and live with.
Its the intro, the music, the b roll that gets me. Damn you guys do solid work in your reviews and I can feel the passion you guys put into all your reviews, im glad ive been subscribed!
Quality of your reviews is awesome - definitely appreciate the honesty, level of detail, and undercarriage reviews.
I love watching these guys in the garage!
I wish your videos would get more views! I love the production on value. You guys are like the Top Gear of TH-cam (the good Top Gear)
My Steering on my 2015 3.7 feels great . I don't know what this guy is talking about. But I love his videos.
Goose: "Alright Scott, what do we got here?"
Turbowski: "5 point Slowwwww"
Me: Dead
Lmao!
2015: "The 5.0 is one of the most reliable engines out there". 2019: "Hold my BBQ tick"
I have a first gen (2011) and I've never had an issue with the drivetrain at all.
Most Honda 4's from the 80's and 90's sounded wonderful. The Saab 900 turbo, any Lancia, the Fiat 500 Abarth, 2015 WRX, The Alfa 4c..........thats all I have. I did get my BRZ to sound very good by plugging the sound tube and adding a Tekada air intake. I messed up the sound slightly when I added a Borla cat-back.
I've never 100% agreed with everything said about a car in any review anywhere, except this one. Another excellent production, and I do mean production.
22:12 near accident
Dawg. That production value is A1!!!!
Great review. I rented the ecoboost on a recent vacation. You absolutely nailed it on the steering feel. It's the big let down of the Mustang. For luxury this is a great car for the money. It's heavy and front heavy. Not to be confused with a sports car no matter how fast they make them or what they can do on a track. I appreciate what you're saying about the GT being too fast to enjoy on the fast. I think with where horsepower is going the qualities that will be important are connection and feeling fast. On that note looking forward to the review of the MX-5.
Nice touch with he shots of Arlington and the Stones cover. I hope viewers get it.
Please keep them coming. If you do a Patreon, let us know. FWIW I'd like more enthusiast cars including used cars. Loved the S2K videos. Looking for one.
I like your reviews cause you of your honesty
Great reviews, man. Keep up the good work. I love the discussions of the suspension while underneath the car. Almost nobody else does that.
Now as for your criticism of the GT's handling: If you have a 400+ hp V8, you can't go into a corner off throttle in the rain then stab the throttle mid-corner. Even the most controlled cars will yaw violently under those conditions. In other words, your statement that you have no confidence in the GT's handling would apply to any other high-horsepower, rear-drive car.
I'm a euro guy but truthfully the quality of production in this review took me from not giving a four fingered fuck about the mustang to wanting to buy one just to drive around listening to wild horses on loop.
Well done.
I really do like your show,you guys are funny in a good way.And at the way you represent your videos are on a upper level then any of those guys.Good job!
I’m watching your videos late night, and this has to be my favorite intro you’ve done ✅
the cinematography at the beginning was stunning! fantastic review as always, keep it up!
26:26 That's why insurance is so high and crowds fear it.
I’m not knocking your skills at all, I just think it was fucking hilarious when you go around 2 corners and both times the car tries to kill you 😂
Nice drone work!, looking forward to the Miata review
I'm currently on business travel and AVIS gave me a 2017 GT Premium 5.0 at no extra charge, and it's awesome. My daily drivers are a Prius and CX-5, so renting this is a great experience.
+mikefly562 oh man that's got to be a culture shock the drive that Beast it's surprising how fast it is for how little it costs
I have to disagree you on the dials and trigger switches, I think they look superb and so unique. A direct link to the mustang aircraft that you won't find on any other car,and that's what sets it apart.
Great vid, I don't think it's possible for you to put out something that I won't watch and enjoy. Can't understand how there aren't more subscribers.
Appreciate it! I think it will just take time to build more viewers.
I think your traction issues in the GT are likely tire related. Mine was scary until I put really light wheels with Yoko Advan 255 front/275 rears on it. Totally different car. It originally had some shitty Pirelli pzeros on it and I felt like every drop of water on the road was going to spin me.
You can find 2018 GT premiums around 25k and convertibles around 23-24k. Crazy. Depreciation.
I know the last comment is like a year old, but I have to say I enjoy your vids. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into these (with really professional results). Your subtle sarcasm cracks me up too, especially the bit about the Pontiac Sunfire. Nice touch with the ugly green color and rusted body panels.
I love ground speed on the speedometer. I'm old school and love my Mustang.
love his professional reviews
The next time I buy a car, I'll make sure this guy reviews it.
I thought I had buzzing in my dash. I was tapping on things for weeks to make it shut up.
On one trip, the buzz came back, I listened real close.
Clutch in and punch the throttle, shift back into 6th aggressively.
The buzz never came back. Weird.
It was something to do with the transmission.
My car doesn't have any creaks, buzzes or rattles now
Fantastic unbiased review brother! just So in depth that u blow away the other wanna be car reviewers..Heres the strange impression that came across from this review....it seemed as if you actuallt had more FUN driving that eco boost than u did driving the 8cyl.....you were able to get on it, use the power it had and actually drive faster than the truly terrified look you had trying to control that v8 putting its power down theu 2 skinny banana peels...of course it was wet, and if it were dry and at the track id bet u would always go with the v8...but what u showed was everyday driving and how each may do in that scenerio..the v8 was rreally an accident waiting to happen,especially in the hands of a teen...try telling a teen to go with an eco boost and good luck with that! great review
Who sang wild horses in the introduction ?? Best version I've ever heard
GT Perf Pack does not have runflats. They give you an air compressor that can inject tire goo
Also note that if you get the Premium model and then get recaros it deletes the heated/cooled and power seat features.
That was an exceptional review. I loved the video/shots, humor and everything! I just got a new triple black GT convertible manual and I agree with your comments (especially the steering modes/feel, comfort is the best). The thing is a bit of a land yacht, yes, but the ride quality is buttery smooth, it's a great GT car. Coming from a 2014 Boxster, the GT can't really corner that well, but how often can you really get to do that? I'll take the V-8 burble/punch and glass-like ride!
You deserve so many more subscribers than you have, thanks for creating such high quality videos.
you say its the best v8 in terms of reliability but what about the lexus v8? on the RCF, GSF, ISF, and LC 500
+Shadow 1118 Different types of cars, and the V8 in the Lexus sits in a 60k + car. I would take it over the stang motor any day however.
I really love that this video with its videography and sound seems so cinematic. Really freaking awesome video.. I legitimately find myself coming back to this video and watching it fully almost once a month now xD.
+MatthiasAI Glad you liked it that much to come back and watch again, we spent a ton of time on this video.
Im sure you guys spend a LOT of time on all your videos which always have such nice Videography skills and set ups. THANK YOU, for being so awesome. :D
Clearly Scott has great taste in cars (MOPAR) and is just being nice to those other cars. Obviously a Hemi with a blower (the Hellcat) is the only real muscle car out there. Sometimes the truth hurts and thats just the way it is. Its nice to meet like wise people, its refreshing :)
Very good review! I do want to note that with the center console, the release/open-latch is on both sides. I reach across to the far side next to the passenger seat, palm down, and pluck up to open it - it's not awkward at all. If I tried to open it with the closest latch on the driver side, that would indeed be super awkward. I know you had a limited time with the car(s) so I suppose you didn't realize that the latch was on both sides haha.
I have the all-season pirelli p. zero neros on my '16 GT and even with the all season tires it's terrible in wet when punching it even mildly from a stop. Very annoying as the all seasons on my '13 GT were 100% fine. I'm considering getting different tires and I barely have 2300 miles since getting it in October, and I certainly don't ride it hard either.
Very nice review. Honest assessment and great video quality!
im always amazed at the production quality of all your videos 5/5
Another great review. I actually stumbled onto your channel when I was car hunting about 6 months ago. The first review I watched from you was the Chevy Colorado. Funny thing about it all is I ended up going with the 15' Mustang, and ever since then I was hoping you'd review this car. The biggest part I stress to people is the affordability; the price of this car, from the base V6 all the way up to a loaded GT makes it affordable for just about anyone (like you said) with a job. The value is there. Keep up the awesome reviews!
Your videos quality are 10/10 man. Keep it like that.
Dammit I like the new Mustang, but here in the diesel-loving, petrol loathing UK, it only really makes sense to get the ecoboost. Also, dammit I can't find that cover of wild horses anywhere! Help, please?
Where can I get that intro music?
Who's version of "wild horses " was that?
th-cam.com/video/QSHdubWunAQ/w-d-xo.html
Somebody please correct me but the story I got was that this is a Mazda design (invention) and that Ford (who has a share in Mazda) stole it!
For all you Miata swap fans: here's your huckleberry! The 5.0 GT couldn't keep up with a Miata in the wet. This is a thorough review that reminds me why I chose the BMW 330cic over the "faster, more powerful Mustang ( which I still wanna like ).
Great detailed review of both the Ecoboost and GT which gave an excellent comparison of both cars helping me decide which one I would like to buy. It was interesting to see that while driving the GT, you were following a Red Miata convertible which is what I own now and what I'll be trading in for the Mustang. I do have one question regarding your review of the GT however. Why in the world would you want to test drive a 5.0 on wet roads? Of course it's going to get rear end happy on wet road conditions especially if you're running fun-flats and traction control is off. I think you scared the crap out of some would-be GT buyers watching you fight the wheel during acceleration and did a general disservice to an otherwise great handling car as defined by most reputable auto reviewers.
Agreed. I have a 2015 5.0 6 speed and the handling in the wet is pretty accurate but doing the review in the wet doesn't really depict its overall handling. In the dry even on Michelin all seasons first gear can grab traction at WOT and it's very controllable even on throttle around corners. In the rain though you need to be aware because it will go sideways even in 2nd or 3 with traction control on.
Always great insight and cinematography, really appreciate the time put into these reviews
The intro of this video is incredible!
Adjustable LED lighting? I'm so buying this car!! 😎
Really solid review. You get better and better. Keep them coming.
In addition to your point regarding why choose a mustang over a supercar. It's an icon. In europe, the mustang will draw a lot of attention, no matter if its a 2005 one.
Awesome intro music... That song gives me chill bumps...
The best car channel on youtube.
Good to return to some of the older videos. I still think the 2015 Mustang is gorgeous. Not too much grey exterior plastic, lighting is still modern looking.
WAIT A MINUTE, 4:48, is that who I think it is?
