Ford Mustang Mach-E: The Most Controversial New Car Sold Today
Просмотров 28514 дней назад
I drive a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium with the smaller 72kwH battery pack. It’s easily the most controversial new car on sale today by virtue of its name, but is it any good? Furthermore is the smaller battery pack sufficient? I’ve borrowed this one from Jen and Marty and Fred Martin Ford in Austintown, Ohio to find out. #ford #fordmustang #fordmustangmache #electricvehicle #ev

    Both beautiful & in pristine shape! I grew up in Central Pennsylvania,but I am English,been back in England most of the past 38 years. I remember seeing quite a few Sunbeam Alpines & Crickets,but not many saloon Arrows.. .plus I don't remember seeing ANY Simcas in Pennsylvania,& was not aware they were ever marketed there. However I do believe the late 70s to 1990 Plymouth Horizon & Dodge Omni hatchbacks were designed and developed by Simca,as were the similar Chrysler/Talbot Horizons,& sister Simca,in Europe. When I was living back in PA in 1990-1991 & had a friend with a 1980 Dodge Omni & a friend with a 1980 VW Rabbit/Golf(Pennsylvania made at that time for North America,although the first few years of sales there they were imported from Deutschland) & both of my friends' cars had the exact same VW Audi engine! I think it was a 1500 or 1600cc. By the way,do you know which Simca models were sold in The US or Canada in the 60s &/or early 70s?

    My dream is to own one of these. I think it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I'm aiming for the one of the V12's, the 5.3l or the 6.0l. I also want to manual swap it as they're plummed and ready for it and seems a terrific upgrade to make. The day I get one, the first place I'm going is to my Dad's to pick him up and take him for a ride in it, which is to say the dream is not only to own a Jag XJS, but to take my Dad out for a ride in one too. Great video, very entertaining.

    I love Scorpios! Beautiful car! 😍😍 They were here sold as Granadas in Britain & Ireland,although the top trim level was badged as a Granada Scorpio. In mainland Europe,they were badged as Scorpios only,as was the next & last gen Granada. Previous gen European Granadas were badged as only Granadas all over Europe, except the first gen ones in the early 70s had lower trim models badged as Consuls,I do believe. In Europe,we also had estate/station wagon,& saloom/sedan body styles of both Granadias/Scorpios,& the smaller Ford Sierra also had sedan & wqgon options,& there was a Sierra pickup,also.

  • @markhealey9409
    @markhealey9409 17 дней назад

    Great story & amazing to see this survivor! 😍😍 I am English,lived in Grantham,Lincolnshire until I was 5 years old,until my Mum & I emigrated to rural Pennsylvania. We did move back to Grantham for 6 months in 1975..then back to the village in Pennsylvania till I moved back to England alone at 19 years old,in 1986...have been here ever since,apart from 1 year back in Pennsylvania with my Mum & two younger American brothers for a year from 1990 until 1991. I've always been very interested in cars...my Mum said that when I was 3 or 4,I knew different car makes & models from the lights....Back in our village in PA in the 1970s & 1980s,an older couple on our street had an orangey gold Plymouth Cricket,which I was always fascinated by. During our time back in England in 1975,our next door neighbours & friends had a white Hillman Avenger & a white 1967 Triumph Spitfire. A young couple had a blue Triumph TR7 in our village that I also loved. Neighbours of ours also had a green 1973 Mercury Ford Capri with a crank sunroof..their son was a friend of mine,so we used to play in that car...pretending to drive,opening the sunroof & sticking our heads out! 🤣🤣 The North American Capris were German built,not English built ones,though. .i remember seeing 'Made in Germany' on the rear light cluster,& under the hood. One of our next door neighbours bought a brand new red Ford Fiesta S with alloys & black stripes in 1978,& there was a lady with a bright orange Ford Fiesta around the same time,at the other end of the village. The first gen North American Fiestas were also German built...but to me they were also 'English'...as were Capris. My Gran back in England used to send me thick Brirish Motor Show magazines every year in the mail,until she passed in 1978. My Mum sold her beloved white E reg Ford Anglia deluxe with red vinyl seats just before we emigrated to PA,and bought a dark green 1967 Mustang. Sadly a tractor trailer jack knifed on an icy bridge in Mill Hall & hit my step father head on & totalled Mum's beloved Mustang in early 1974,just 18 months after she bought it.. then she downsized due to the oil crisis & bought a 4 speed yellow 1972 Opel Kadett Rallye with black stripes,which she drove for several years...then bought a 1975 Pontiac Firebird TransAm in the late 70s,her first automatic car....I remember her saying that she still preferred driving manual cars...then when gas prices hit $1/gallon in 1980....she sold the TransAm & bought a gold 1978 Honda Civic 5 speed hatchback. They actually also sold English Hillman Hunters saloons/sedans in North America,badged as Sunbeam Arrows,but they were not as common as the much more successful(in the States) Sunbeam Rapier coupé...which I saw the top of a taillight of one in your video! 🤣🤣 In my last year of high school,I moved to State College,PA & two of the kids I went to high school with had English cars... Everyone used to wanna go for a spin in them after school let out! One guy had a green 1960s Mini Cooper,the other a yellow convertible 1960s Morris Minor! 😍😍 Both very rare cars in the US....at least in rural Pennsylvania....I only ever saw them occasionally,other than the ones my classmates had. I think one of the main reasons was that the dealers that sold them new were mostly in big cities in The US...where tiny city cars were more popular....although the VW Beetle was very popular even in rural areas,but not all small European cars were common away from big cities. I rember seeing a few last gen Ford Anglias,1st & 2nd gen Ford Cortinas,& mid 1960s Hillman Minxes in rural PA growing up,but Minis & Morris Minors were considerably smaller,& less practical.

    In Australia we only got the Hillman Hunter from 1970s we got the the Chrysler Century which was similar to the Hillman Avenger but by then the Japanese makes were getting a strong hold in the Australian market because they were more reliable and that's something Australian like obviously we got the Leyland cars because there was Leyland Australia but it failed miserably because the Japanese cars were so much reliable and better built and the British Australian cars couldn't compete and it continues today especially with Toyota there are more Toyota's on the road than any other make they are everywhere including my 1997 Toyota Hilux and it has an automatic choke and it is the original carburator and l was watching a you tube channel and he was domesticating the starting procedure on a Volkswagen Beetle with Webber carburators fitted and he showed that by depressing the accelerator once before stating the Volkswagen to set the automatic choke the Volkswagen started and l do that with my Hilux on tge original caburator and it starts on the button 100% all the time and the same Aisin carburator has been used since tge 1960s on the USA Toyota Ceicas with the 20R engines my Hilux has the 22R engine with 437000 kilometres and actually there is a hole in the dashboard for a manual choke and l can remember the kits for fitting a manual choke back in the 1970s because the automatic chokes didn't work but l thought l would have to fit a manual choke to my Hilux but not now since l found the starting procedure it works every time

    I was just reading up on these a few weeks back. I’d love to get my hands on one. A forgotten car in USA nowadays… the few that still survive are probably rusty and unable to obtain parts/service for.

    Caring about depreciation on a car is like caring about the value of a half eaten cake

      It’s an important consideration for many people; it’s the largest ownership cost.

      @@AutoAtlantica That statement makes no sense. People who lease don't care about depreciation. They pay a fixed cost for x months and return the vehicle. People who buy used cars don't care about depreciation. The only reason to care about depreciation is if you buy a car and then sell it 3-5 years later. But who does that? Buy it to keep or lease it. Only the media seems to care about it.

      @@auronedgevicks7739 it makes sense to people who budget for car ownership. Depreciation is always factored in over the intended ownership period down to cost per mile. I personally am one of those who do, as I’m a chartered accountant.

      @@auronedgevicks7739 furthermore, I’m intending to produce a video on the very subject. With leasing you’re simply paying the depreciation and then a wear and tear charge. EVs typically don’t lease that well over anything more than 24 months because of the likely depreciation caused by obsolescence.
