It’s not going to worry a BMW M4 down a twisty road, but the Mustang’s still an entertaining sports car and makes a great used buy -
coupes in between. The Mustang might not be as well built, have the badge kudos or the dynamic ability of most of its rivals, but it has a brash American charm that makes it stand out from the crowd and gives it a unique appeal.While its home US market gets a few more engine options than the UK you shouldn’t feel too short-changed… provided you go for the right engine. The smaller of the two units is an EcoBoost 2.
Mustangs were always meant to have a V8 under the bonnet and it sounds great, as well as producing some decent acceleration figures. Since its midlife refresh the 5-litre naturally aspirated unit develops a little more power and torque and is capable of hitting 62mph from rest in 4.9sec with the manual ’box, while the auto shaves another 0.3sec from that time.
Watch out for VED costs, as while some Mustangs may have had a purchase price under £40k a few options will have tipped the price over that, thus attracting the additional VED rate for years two to six. Insurance will be steep, too , with the V8 in Group 43. Mustangs have a yearly service schedule so will be more costly to look after than some other rivals with more modern conditioned-based servicing set-ups.
