Think Ford have waited far too long to bring the Mustang to the UK.

Just doesn't float my boat at all.

I have always wanted one and can't wait to drive it, may just be my next car though will probably wait to see how it beds in first.

Amazing sound but that's about it.
Compact cars float my boat far more.

That is nice and will defiantly be a head turner. I wonder what its handling will be like though?

The v8 itch has got to be scratched at some point but I think I would be better off with a vxr8/monaro

Altho I like the Mustang and being right hand drive it's even better but this is the car I would buy if they made it in right hand drive.

Agree!

The next door neighbour has one and the sound is just

His other car is a supercharged mustang (700hp), prefer the SS though

I saw a white SS pull into a car park when I was in Orlando and it just looked stunning and that's when I first thought of buying one . In the flesh they are such a good looking car

We hired one when we were in usa as its on my list and I didn't want to wait untill the sept demos came out in the uk

We had the 3.2 ecoboost out and averaged 20-22 mpg

Noise is good but 50 litre is awesome but 17mpg against maybe 25 for the Eco boost
It was the auto easy enought to drive just point and shoot

Interior is nice and reasonabally well screwed together

It has some lift through the gears think its 300bhp but a different sort if drive compared to my Greenwagon ,Nismo and everyday Civic EXGt

Very wide with massive bonnet and boot and quite diffulcult to park as rear camera screen is very small
I would say more of a posing car rather then a blast up the mountains and twisties with in in cumbria

With me not as agile /knackered as I used to be I struggle to get in and out and reaching round for the seat belt was hard but seats were very comfortable when in postion

Rear vision wasn't good but found it better in convertable against hardtop And had more pose factor

Would I get one (in yellow with black viper stripes) ?

Not sure at the moment although it looks fantastic machine for 32-35k and does turn heads but I need to try some other cars first

I was hoping I would fall on love with it and order one straighr away as an ultimate driving machine but it is an American big muscle car and not too much fun for my normal country lanes and fuel costs are always a thought too

They are not as big as everyone thinks they are

New Mondeos are bigger

They look big because of the bonnet and they are low

the Ecoboost is a 2.3 Twin Turbo 4 Cylinder and it does put out about 300bhp but it is about 400kilos heavier than a scoob so it will never ever feel as agile or quick

They are very easy to park, even a left hooker in this country is

I'm just so tempted because of the shape

Well equipped and seem well screwed together

Individuality and head turning looks is my main thing as I'm getting a bit too old to fly round corners nowadays

Any pictures of the V8
