Put the damn transmission in track mode and give it some gas. You're literally the only person I've heard complain about the 10 speed transmission. There's no delay when the pedal is down
The front fascia below the headlights is just terrible. The rest of the car looks very nice. And don't listen to anyone who says they don't like an Izod cardigan. Thanks for the review.
I drove the 2018 ecoboost and glad that the gear lag is a recognized thing because I almost thought its was just me for a second lol. I think I'm going to get a 2016 or 17 stang in this case. I was contemplating the camaro, but since my girl has one already I think I stick to the Mustang😁
It’s really the greatest mustang ever I really like it specially with the new front end Demmm that’s a great muscle car and every color look great on these car goooooooooood job ford 💙
Did the price of the US model go up for 2018 model. Here in Australia where it is also quite popular they have jacked it up by $4,000. It was already about $64,000 for the V8 GT here so is nudging $70,000 which I think is a fair bit higher than the US cars.
A 2013 mustang GT premium with 20k miles is going for 20k. However no performance package on it. Ugh. I just hate that fact that they lose money so easy after a year or so.
F S yeah but keep in mind that 2013 is already 5 years old within the next month. Not to mention the poor building materials ford used when making the S197 models. After 2015, the new gen S550 mustang was completely reworked and finally brought up to date with modern technology unlike the dinosaur that was the 2013. New mustangs of this gen will be holding their value much better than previous models.
Wow! I have rarely seen you give such a glowing review. Hopefully Ford fixes that 10 speed. So many good cars these days let down by their transmissions that cannot cash the checks the chassis and engine make Love to see the inevitable GT vs Camaro SS comparison
LMFAO it's the same transmission in the Zl1 and raptor notthign wrong with you should go test drive one your self and make sure it's a performance pack don't always count on a damn youtuber to everything about cars
drdanimalsize can't blame him. At the end cars like this that are meant for fun need a manual. Not that cars like the Bugatti chiron isn't fun to drive but at the end it's all just meant to break a record so that rappers rap the thing in chrome or gold and drive them down Hollywood Boulevard.
What a nice Mustang today compared to my old '74 Cobra II (in BLK and Gold, but I was living in Montreal so that was the style back then). Hmm so shooting for Mustang and Expedition on same day? Well Zack I think I'm gonna go to Bill Patterson Ford in a few weeks for my early retirement gift, thanks for the wonderful reviews this year. 🚙🚙🚙
We just got a 2018 ecoboost 10 speed auto. We noticed the shifting when we first got it but after driving it for a while we noticed the sifting is getting better and doesn't seem to hunt for the right gear. After looking into it the transmission learns. It learns how you drive and applies that to the car, specifically the transmission. Overall the 10 speed is more responsive and just faster than the stick at least in the ecoboost and if your like us and in traffic to and from work, its a little more enjoyable than with a clutch car. If we were going to get a 5.0 there's a reason you buy one and that's the power which of course needs the clutch to get the most fun out of it. The ecoboost is a great car in its own right and a great car for someone who has never driven 400+ hp cars before and its a great sports car to learn on.
It's true what he said...quite a few Mustangs in EU now, though truth be told most with the small 4-cyl Ecobost. Design wise I love the car...classic muscle car Still, in 2018 a 5.0 LT V8 NA that puts out only 450bhp is a bit odd. This car weighs a lot let's remember that. The out of production Ferrari 458 Italia had a smaller 4.5 V8 NA and it put out 570bhp ! That was like 8 years ago so...
Like a lot of things from Ford these days, it could use a well-calibrated tune aftermarket. I'm sure the new auto is the same way. "The working-man's sports car; the car that everyone could afford to buy." Shell out that 50 grand. HRMF! I think I'll just bolt a big turbo on a Focus ST1 and run side-by-side with the same power to weight ratio as the 45 grand Mustang GT.
It is no longer the working mans sports car at 40k. I understand it has more tech.... but disappointed at how the mustang GT is now out of reach for most middle class folks.
Agreed same with the CAMARO SS n other cars...like U have to buy a used one from 5-10 years ago to b affordable to middle class. Then still have the audacity to have shitty interiors.
You can get a stripper (base model GT with a 6 speed manual) out the door for $31K.. Under that if you arm wrestle a dealer with a few of them on the lot, especially between fall and winter. It comes with power everything, halfway decent sound system and the same V-8 engine...add the Ford Strut tower brace for $200 and call it good for a fun car.
8:05 they should have a "neighbor from hell" mode which amplifies teh volume using a p.a. system mounted on and around your garage, thru bluetooth connection, adds on echo and reverb. So a cold startup would sound like a RUSH drum solo with your head inside of a bass bin.
Your pricing info is off.. I went to Ford.com, the Ecoboost hardtop starts at $25,680 The GT hardtop starts at $35,190. Maybe you were pricing convertibles? Also the 5.0 GT started in 2011 at 412 hp, then 420 hp in 2013, then 435 hp in 2015, now 460 in 2018.
no, the ind rear susp transformed a crappy car into a decent car (finally!) but why is it more expensive than a Merc CLA, GLA or even the CLA45?? It is seriously cheaper to pick up a CLA45 that does 0-60 in under 4sec than a fully loaded EcoBoost, not to mention a GT.
N needs to be like this cause of the aerodynamic design. When you go with 230km/h on the autobahn the old version moves like he'll. Cheers from Germany
Its interesting that the journalists never mention that GM invented Magride and have licensed it out to Ford, Ferrari etc. It was developed by Delphi which was owned by GM.
It def evolved from a muscle car to a sports car with that suspension upgrades. And the 10 speed auto is great for city driving. If you are on open roads yes the manual will be nice. The fully decked out GT with 10 speed auto. 12 inch display. Magnet ride, Recaro seats active exhaust option and its 52 grand for almost* similar options found the GT350
I honestly wouldnt care if there was a delay. When you shit a gear in a manual its not millisecond gear shifting so in my mind it takes just abit short shifting if it was a manual. Hard to put my thought into words but i think some might understand what i mean
Thanks for another enthusiastic review on the refreshed Mustang Zack! Clearly you love the car as much as I do my 15 performance pack 6M GT. I’m disappointed to hear the 10 speed isn’t a knock out for the car because it sure does make it fast. Touching on pricing for a moment, I’d agree that the car loaded up is quite up there in price now that it crests 60k but boy does become an amazing deal on the used market. Definitely worth buying CPO like I did. It’s a shame the best features including the softer materials are all optional. The base car feels vastly less premium than a loaded GT. Great to see you having fun in the canyons 👍
Nice review Zack. Makes me want to trade in my 16' mustang ecoboost for the 18' GT. But the prices are insane after building one with all the bells and whistles. Well over $50,000 before taxes! But ever so tempting.
Zack; Always enjoy your videos overall, but; "If the Europeans love it it has to be good"(?) really? I didn't think my or your opinions were subject to group approval, from another continent even. I get the point, the Mustang has been improved, just don't tell me I have to look across the pond to believe it.
Great review Zack. I wish the Magnaride was available as a true stand alone option (not requiring the performance pack selection). I am not sure I want the performance package since it would be my daily driver.
Excellent review. My 2017 GT Premium has turned my into a Mustang aficionado. BTW, I love the 6 speed AT with 3.15 gears in the 2017. Not the fastest 0-60 but I average 24 MPG at 75 MPH.
I had the same issue with delayed shifting to the point where I wasn't sure if it was working or not. Then, I realized that there is a solid 1-1 1/2 second delay.
It’s not going for cars 30 k above its price at what it’s worth I am an Ford die hard and am getting sick of people saying this An m4 would destroy this 🙈

He's comparing it to an M4... wow. For a little over half the money of an M4.
Put the damn transmission in track mode and give it some gas. You're literally the only person I've heard complain about the 10 speed transmission. There's no delay when the pedal is down
only manual in GT. The experience you want.
The camera quality is awesome. Also congrats on 100K.
Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Charger all versions, all great cars...What a great time to be a muscle car fan!
U forgot the best one of all bro? CORVETTE! n on supercar note let not forget the FORD GT. If only Japan sport scene can make a comeback soon.
True
The comment under the title state its makes 460HP on regular gas. Im pretty sure requires 93 octane.
Excellent review. Interesting to hear about the 10-speed and glad you pointed out the interior trim upgrade with its caveat.
Camaro looks like a pregnant roller skate
Lorenzo Maximo mustang looks like a crowd killer.
Camaro is the next crowd killer because the worse blind spots car in the world..and freakin ugly car front end..
The headlights look like a mustang mixed with a challenger or charger headlight. This thing is just thrasher hell dude.
The best review on TH-cam! Great job!
Hell, I wake up the entire block... forget the neighborhoods with my mustang. My name is Chuck and I don't give a Fuc#!
psulse haha that’s what I’m talking about pal
I didn't know if I liked the front when I first saw it but I have to say now it looks Mean!!
The front fascia below the headlights is just terrible. The rest of the car looks very nice. And don't listen to anyone who says they don't like an Izod cardigan. Thanks for the review.
Like the colour,works well with the black wheels.Good looking.
Really good review man . Wasn’t scripted as much. Great
I was confused about the prices mentioned until I realised this is motormouth CANADA haha
You can't beat this price of $34,000 for the base manual transmission GT. I'll take a red one.
haha "get the manual" best advice I never needed. great job my man and I will ALWAYS get the manual.
Looks like the new mustang finally caught up to the new camaro 😉 bout time
I drove the 2018 ecoboost and glad that the gear lag is a recognized thing because I almost thought its was just me for a second lol. I think I'm going to get a 2016 or 17 stang in this case. I was contemplating the camaro, but since my girl has one already I think I stick to the Mustang😁
Thanks for the video AND Thanks for yesterday's Q&A.
It’s really the greatest mustang ever I really like it specially with the new front end Demmm that’s a great muscle car and every color look great on these car goooooooooood job ford 💙

Even at $50k CAD it's a great deal.
Looks like a two door fusion, I think the styling before the update to the front look great. this one looks a lil soft.
A 2013 mustang GT premium with 20k miles is going for 20k. However no performance package on it. Ugh. I just hate that fact that they lose money so easy after a year or so.

"If Europeans like it it must be a good car"..."Ugh this transmision, theres a delay, I didn't like the ecoboost" lol..
guy sounded like a dick
Wow! I have rarely seen you give such a glowing review. Hopefully Ford fixes that 10 speed. So many good cars these days let down by their transmissions that cannot cash the checks the chassis and engine make
Love to see the inevitable GT vs Camaro SS comparison
LMFAO it's the same transmission in the Zl1 and raptor notthign wrong with you should go test drive one your self and make sure it's a performance pack don't always count on a damn youtuber to everything about cars
this is the 1st review of a GT 10 speed that isn't glowing about how awesome the new automatic works. I think buddy just hates automatics.
drdanimalsize can't blame him. At the end cars like this that are meant for fun need a manual. Not that cars like the Bugatti chiron isn't fun to drive but at the end it's all just meant to break a record so that rappers rap the thing in chrome or gold and drive them down Hollywood Boulevard.
Endless Roadie I'm gonna try a new 10spd GT as soon as I can. Drove an ecoboost 10spd today and it was underwhelming.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 10 speed. He drove it in an Eco-Boost, that's the problem.
I have in my GT and I love it.
i have always been a mustang fan but hate the new mustang's headlights. the 2015-2017 front styling was much better.
What a nice Mustang today compared to my old '74 Cobra II (in BLK and Gold, but I was living in Montreal so that was the style back then). Hmm so shooting for Mustang and Expedition on same day?
Well Zack I think I'm gonna go to Bill Patterson Ford in a few weeks for my early retirement gift, thanks for the wonderful reviews this year. 🚙🚙🚙
Get the GT perfomance pack with Magnaride, you'll be happy. Great car.
Motormouth Canada I will definitely look into it for sure.
We just got a 2018 ecoboost 10 speed auto.

Great review as always but damn those cars are so expensive now
It's true what he said...quite a few Mustangs in EU now, though truth be told most with the small 4-cyl Ecobost.

Still, in 2018 a 5.0 LT V8 NA that puts out only 450bhp is a bit odd. This car weighs a lot let's remember that.

I think I'll just bolt a big turbo on a Focus ST1 and run side-by-side with the same power to weight ratio as the 45 grand Mustang GT.
Love mine so much!😍
Great review, and right to the point.....
Did you have the car in sport mode? My 15 Mustangs transmission shifts much quicker in sport mode
Auto faster than manual?! Wow!!! I'd still go with the stick. Nothing some minor mods can't fix.
I wouldn't pay extra for the active exhaust. The base exhaust sounds plenty wicked. The neighbors would just have to bear with me. I won't be long.
it had 435 HP not over 440. now it has 460 HP 420 lb ft
Jacob Merrifield stop
The Bat look it up the 2015-17 had 435.
Jacob Merrifield what is this I don't even
Dude is right it was 435. If you think otherwise you're just making a fool
You nailed it with the manual tranny suggestion. I drive an SVT Focus 6spd 4 banger and I have more fun driving to work than anyone else on the road.
Love the power but just don't look at good as 17 ..
God, that rock music trash at the beginning was horrible. Please, just keep your videos simple like you've always done.
Can you get a better used value performer?
It is no longer the working mans sports car at 40k. I understand it has more tech.... but disappointed at how the mustang GT is now out of reach for most middle class folks.
Agreed same with the CAMARO SS n other cars...like U have to buy a used one from 5-10 years ago to b affordable to middle class. Then still have the audacity to have shitty interiors.

Gt premium here in louisville is around 37 grand

Ah give me a 1992 coupe with about 500 horse that weighs 3000 lbs 👍

Nice turn signals , to bad they will never get used .
The front view looks silly. The old version looks better. It looks like it has a big forehead
Mr. Käy lmao get ur eyes checked cause it looks like a lowered front to me
N needs to be like this cause of the aerodynamic design. When you go with 230km/h on the autobahn the old version moves like he'll. Cheers from Germany
Its interesting that the journalists never mention that GM invented Magride and have licensed it out to Ford, Ferrari etc. It was developed by Delphi which was owned by GM.
They fucked up the headlights. It looks like a cross-eyed possum
It def evolved from a muscle car to a sports car with that suspension upgrades. And the 10 speed auto is great for city driving. If you are on open roads yes the manual will be nice.

I really hate the new front lights.
BCJDM I did too I was a huge fan of what they had before but it is growing on me.
Can someone tell me the best setup to get 500 horsepower out of my 2013 Ford Mustang V6?
ThePrettyboy23 trade it in for a v8
The looks have definitely got better with familiarity, in gun metal grey is mean as fuck.
People who buy this car is only because they love the mustang series.
If I have to change the way I live to appease my neighbors then I'm living in the wrong place
Or you're just an ignorant douche.
lol
Yeah, people should just have to put up with whatever shit you do. Screw them and their irrelevant lives, you're far more important, right?
Yeah fuckem. Don’t like the exhaust move
get the manual 😁😁😁
James Goussanou not everyone wants a manual douche
he wrote that because the man said it in the video. 6:15
TommanderR sorry didn’t mean to hurt your butt buddy’s feelings
James Goussanou must be so stupid to buy an automatic for a performance car lol
That transmission , ugh.
By the way the ending fucked up your driving a orange car when it's drive you see a gray car
zl1 10 speed is way better than the A10 in the mustang. but it is nice that you can get it though.
wait so the touch screen/control center is small in the base model ?? And the only way to get that nice screen is if you get the top model ..
Man these muscle cars (Chevy, Ford) are getting nicer and nicer. Dodge is still shit
RedRyder Z The Dodge Demon would like to have a word with you...
True...Dodge is Shit
Where were you driving?
Near Malibu California
I am surprised that the Mustang does not hold its value better
nickolas The GT holds its value really well, at least in Canada.
It's holding pretty damn well lately
Well its just like American women, they look great at first but quickly depreciate lolololo
Neo Racer Ha
There are just too many. Supply and demand.
its is so fantastic
Do they have v8 leases yet? Goddamn
Please try to get minimum 24p during the whole video

Still a little delay... get the manual hahahahahahahaha auto shit box >_
I wouldn't buy one that not a stick.
I was disappointed when they changed the lights... it looks like the original concept, more like a sausage than a Mustang...
Do the Canadian GT models redline at 6500 rpm? In all the American reviews I watched the cluster (digital or analog) shows 7500 rpm redline 🤔
mustang is great but ford has to on its electronics and interior
Great review Zack. I wish the Magnaride was available as a true stand alone option (not requiring the performance pack selection). I am not sure I want the performance package since it would be my daily driver.
TEN gears?!?! Wtf man
Excellent review. My 2017 GT Premium has turned my into a Mustang aficionado. BTW, I love the 6 speed AT with 3.15 gears in the 2017. Not the fastest 0-60 but I average 24 MPG at 75 MPH.
Sounds like you didn't like the Ecoboost/10 speed auto, which was what I was looking at. No wonder literally no one has been talking about it.
I had the same issue with delayed shifting to the point where I wasn't sure if it was working or not. Then, I realized that there is a solid 1-1 1/2 second delay.
It’s not going for cars 30 k above its price at what it’s worth
I am an Ford die hard and am getting sick of people saying this
An m4 would destroy this 🙈
nice car but so impracticable for Toronto winters.
Great review, shitty choppy processed video just ruined it for me... watched 1/3 of the whole video...
And I bet the clutch still has a long throw to it...well for me. Challenger clutch is the best in my case...
Great car, but Ford is penny pinching with the centre counsel in hard plastic and teeny weeny screen on the base GT.... ridiculous
I really like this car and I would love to own one but 1. I can’t afford it 2. Everyone I know does not like ford haha.
This video really makes me want to own the car; and I’ve never been a Mustang fan.. Will have to go out for a test-drive. Great job! :)
I thought the ten speed was a joint venture between gm and ford
+Kevin James it is
That’s ridiculous! What the hell its not the affordable sports car anymore!?
for 42 grand canadian, you can get this rather than a 85 grand canadian m4, with same performance, damn
Better, since it has a naturally aspirated V8 and not that turbo B58 shit.
under 4 secs ? that's supercar territory !
Good video Bro!! // I test drove a 2018 GT this week..// what's on the video is all correct!!!
My eye balls feel like it have been rapef by this mustang even the 2013 gt model look better.
Can i ask a question? am i the only one who still doesnt like the new front headlight and bumper?
"Sir, how do you like your salmon filet?"
"Oh, it's very rewarding."
"Uh... alright."
