The Mustang would have to be one of the best looking cars on the market.
What has the new model done to the used values of older privately imported ones? |

I am hoping it kills the Tickford converted ones...prices still way to high on them and I want a red one!

Now imagine clambering out of a Mustang in that position... Anyone betting on panel beaters being kept busy touching up paint on the edges of Mustang doors by people used to much smaller two doors...? |

I saw a red convertible on narellan rd narellan on Thursday.
My head almost turned right round to get a look. Those clear rear lights really stood out. Very wide looking car. |

Great question, I have no answer, only to say each generation of Mustang has some sort of heritage and nostalgia to be respected.

I had a drive of a red convertible and everyone's head nearly spun off to get a look at it. It was like driving a Ferrari. Absolutely stunning looking car, especially from the back. |

I don't understand why people would think the Mustang is a big car.
I drove the previous model in the states and they are not big at all compared to the Falcon. The 2015 wheel base is 12cm, nearly 5 inches shorter than a FG and 4784mm compared to 4955mm for the FG. Mustang is wider overall probably because of the Australian spec mirrors |

I know for sure if I was fortunate enough to be in that market it be Mustang for me even though I've had many, many Falcons before
Did have a 73 Mach 1 but it was more Falcon coupe than Mustang |

I rented a last-gen V6 auto mustang in the US in December 2013, didn't think I'd like it much but after about 700 miles I was sad to give it back! I thought it felt big but not too big. Smaller and a bit more agile than a Falcon, but still a significant size. Tiny boot (well, boot opening) and rear seat. Was a great drive even with the slushbox, 300bhp was enough to have some fun, and it was an awesome cruiser. The whole time I was driving it I was thinking if this is what a rental spec Mustang is like, maybe a performance Falcon would be a good car to own. Within 3 weeks I'd come back home and placed an order for a new F6.

They are a nice looking car, but will they become too common? Like all the 86s and BRZs running around.

I hope so... I'd rather see heaps of mustangs and 86s on the road than camrys and corollas. And maybe then I could afford one, of either one.

Volume is what keeps a car popular with the most important customer: the beancounters at head office. There are enthusiasts who seem to deliberately keep it expensive, exclusive, and very limited in number so they can proudly strut in their Mustang, basking in the fawning attention of people who only see one rarely, hopefully not being exposed to the horror of eventually seeing Mustangs everywhere, being used by ordinary people...oh the shame! I look forward to seeing them in big numbers being used for all sorts of purposes everywhere you go. If I get my sums right on the lease and get one, it won't be getting pampered and hidden in the shed for an occasional drive...it will be getting driven to work and parked out in the sun on days I don't take the bike, and used the exact same was we use our Celica...as a second car, to be used to head off to do some shopping or a day up town, to go away for a holiday or a trip where we don't need the space of the Triton, etc. |

Yep they are meant to be used. Being a Ford I would have no issues taking it up fire trails and crossing creeks like I do with my current cars.
Does it have a tow rating in Australia? |

Yep I can see the Mustang as a perfect shopping trolly, maybe get a few SUVs off the road for the soccer mums.

TOWING A TRAILER WARNING Your vehicle is not approved for trailer towing. Never tow a trailer with your vehicle. You would also think the Australian version of the Mustang would have a bulbar option in the accessories too Also for those who didn't know, there is no spare tyre, The car comes with goo and an air compressor (also roadside assist), there is a $1157 option for a space saver spare, http://www.ford.com.au/cars/mustang/...91249133789737 this is for EcoBoost model only Last edited by 4stanger; 10-01-2016 at 11:31 AM. |
