Now the Mustang has a huge rep. We all know it. But is mustang just mooching off its former glory?
Part yes, part no. Its body panels are plastic for this generation, however.
I mean its slow, fat and its suspension is.....ancient.
Well, I'm sorry it's not some german engineered piece of shit for you.
Its interior is cheap shitty plastic,
And your cars are made of what, fresh plastic? Seriously, stop complaining about plastic interiors, because they're not only in American cars. They're in Renaults, vw's, audis, they're in everything.
it drinks juice like there’s no tomorrow. If you went to the pumps and just poured it on the road you still could waste more fuel by buying that car.
Yes, but in America, gas is around $2.50 per gallon, whereas in the UK, it's about $20.00 per gallon, if you do the gallon-liter, and dollar-pound math. It's designed for Americans, by Americans. You have to drive it in America to experience it.
300BHP in a 4.6L V8?! A Mazda RX8 can get more than 250BHP and that’s only a 1.3L Rotary!
Yes, but does a Mazda, built by Ford, sound anything like the Mustang, built by Ford? It's just the ever potent rumble you get from it, and that's enough to convince a buyer.
Its also good old fashioned America muscle car so planning to turn a corner 3 hours ahead is advisable. Unless you love over steer even though I think it couldn’t go fast enough to over steer.
Cry a river, build a bridge, get over it. Just because something doesn't steer like a BMW doesn't mean it can't corner. Muscle cars fishtail, and that's how you rally a muscle car. Euro cars you drive with the suspension, American cars you drive with the engine. Anyone can drive a BMW, Audi, anything like that, but it's an achievement to be able to control a muscle car.
I could probably outrun that car in a fiesta and I am not joking.
I don't think you could beat a big muscler with an economy sub-compact.
So why the fuck is it being sold?! Mustang should have gone bust years ago!
Because really, what's in a name?
I think the reason is when your driving down the road you see a mustang with a sad person driving it. You think "God man, I wouldn’t be sobbing if I had that!" Then you save up all your extra cash, every spare penny you have to buy this car as soon as possible.
It only costs a good $22,000. They made it that way for a reason.
After you buy it you go to roar it down the motorway.
Why else would you buy a muscle car? You gotta sample the soundtrack.
After realising a poodle can run faster you start to get depressed.
What kind of poodles do you have?
The interior and the 125 colour choice for the Speedometer coupled with the horrible ride and feel for it you go into depression.
The colors are cool, the interior is big, and the horrible ride is to let you know you should take this car sideways every now and then.
Then you see men driving around you staring at your new car.........
Because it looks so nice.
Now I'm not telling people not to buy this, but if any other company made this car they would fall like a ton of bricks.
Which is why only Ford makes the Mustang.
Would you call this car the worse car in history?
Nope. I'd call any Mercedes the worst, and I don't care what anyone has to say about that.
You have just been counter-ranted.
