The legendary Ford Mustang was originally introduced in 1964, but so far there has never been a right drive version.
Yes, the British can finally go to a selected Ford dealer to order a muscle car.
Ford says that the demand is greater than expected, and so far more than 1,000 customers in the UK have received their new Mustangs, while thousands are ordered.
The Mustang is available in Great Britain as a convertible or fastback with two petrol engines, a 2.3-liter or a mighty V8.
I drove the Fastback 5.0 V8 GT with a 6-speed manual transmission and the convertible 2.3 Ecoboost, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
No matter which body style you choose, the first impression is of size. It’s big.
Somewhat smaller than a BMW 7 series is in front with bonnet, but it is not unwieldy here.
Of course it is more at home to drive on A-Roads and motorways, while parking can be a challenge and narrow land traces are best avoided, but this is not a normal car.
Beat behind the steering wheel, fire you off and the Mustang immediately conjures up a smile on your face. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is powerful enough for most. It may not produce the wonderful growl of the V8, but it sounds nice enough.
So far, almost seven out of 10 customers in Great Britain have chosen the V8 engine above the four-cylinder. I can understand how to buy an all-American icon, it would be rude!
The V8 is contagious, but not a million miles from Ecoboost in terms of performance (313 BHP in contrast to 412). For some, Ford claims that the combined MPG for the V8 is 20.9, while Ecoboost is 28.8.
The Mustang does not sate like American cars from old. The body role is well controlled and for such a large car agile.
Surprisingly, more than 50% of the British customers have chosen the craft gear over the automatic transmission. For me, the Mustang is more of a cruiser and if I could afford to do it, I would decide a V8 fast -back with an automatic transmission.
I found the manual a little heavy while the car made for a lot of smoother progress.
There is more than enough space at the front, but less than you may expect in the back for a car with such dimensions. That means, the trunk, he trunk, is spacious.
It is well built, comfortable and has a high quality feeling inside. If they are gimmicks you are looking for, then you are no further than the “line-lock” function. In this way you can turn your rear wheels on the laned strip, create a cloud of smoke and chop your tires accordingly!
The right drive Mustang costs from £ 30,995 (Ecoboost) and £ 34.995 (V8) and offers synchronized Sync 3 8-inch color touchscreen with DAB-FRUND, USB and Bluetooth connectivity of nine speakers.
Verdict: Ford rated the new Mustang so competitive that it is difficult for them to get more car for their money. Big, Butch and Iconic, the Mustang is a must if you can afford the gas and have the streets nearby to enjoy the amazing soundtrack.
