This must be a previous model, on the one we had the ICE was great (shaker) iPhone and Android connectivity with sat nav. Tap the door handle on the grooves and the doors unlocked ( boot too). Love the pony puddle lights. Boot lined with carpet, track mode a hoot, agree the suspension is suspect but the brakes are better than any dodge I’ve ever driven. Air conditioned front seats are cool (pardon the pun) and not uncomfortable in my mind. I wouldn’t want to own one but I’d hire one again in a heartbeat.

We were out in October, my son had a convertible Mustang and I had a Cadillac Escalade. They cost the same but the Cadillac was a million miles better. My son only had the top down once when I drove it to the garage to blow the tyres up that were showing as low on the dash. The Mustang was OK but for me a luxury car or SUV is far better and actually faster also.

Two ton plus Escalade faster than a Mustang ( even the 2.3 eco boost) ? Must have been something way wrong with the ‘stang.
Me? Personally I’d not have a convertible, but would consider a hardtop V8 ustang with the linelock braking system. Ideal if you wasn’t to fill Walmart’s carpark with tyre smoke. But seriously my car of choice like we had in 2015 was a 300c Platinum with the 5.8 Hemi V8 it would waft along on 4 cylinders the explode when you hit the go pedal. Ours didn’t even have the badges declaring the engine. Didn’t realise I had the V8 until I opened the hood to fill the washers. A daily occurrence as it was love bug season. Edited at 02:49 PM. |

I meant the luxury class cars I have had ie CT6 were faster but when you look Mustang Eco Boost convertible 0 - 60 is 6.1 seconds. Escalade 6.0 seconds so these are even very much the same. ;-)

Nope it was the 2017 model with everything bar sat nav. I had 2 2017 models as one of them I thought had a bad gearbox turned out it was just a terribly engineered gearbox in all mustangs. I was expecting the gearbox to be like German one clearly I set my standards to high. Shaker audio which we had just sounded mono I played with the settings and it made no difference my standard golf stereo is way superior . The seat are poor ergonomically very uncomfortable nothing like the bog standard cloth seats in my gtd which are perfect. The keyless never worked on any of the 2 mustangs no matter what you did. Lastly for a car of that size and that weight the brakes are inadequate even my old Vauxhall corsa from a few years back had bigger brakes.
Never again I will rent a mustang this is coming from someone under the age of 30. |

Have had a Mustang a few times as a couple. Airport runs no problem. 1 large case in the boot with hand luggage. Put the roof down, load a 2nd large suitcase and 2 large holdalls upright in the back, put the roof back up. Drive to the airport.

This time I had a Rav 4 and last time I had a mustang, wouldn't have the Rav 4 again but would go for the Mustang. Enjoyed driving it and going between Disney sites with the top down was nice. Didn't feel like it was going to go over when I was going round any slight bend either (I'm looking at you Rav 4).

Don’t forget the Mustangs your probably hiring are base spec. Probably a V6 or if spending more you might get the V8.
I owened a RHD V8 Mustang here and it was amazing. UK cars come with the performance pack as standard so have a pretty high spec. Hire cars are always pretty basic spec
