I had a 2018 Ecoboost and it was a fantastic car. Everyone hates on it, because it isn't a "real" Mustang, but it was a lot of fun for the money. I have a GT now, and I do still miss it sometimes, mostly at the gas pump.
Thank you. I saw tremendous value in the base mustang and figured it should get some light. I also noticed there was not much said for the base mustangs.
@@AskforBryan I agree...but I think I'll be getting the 101A package, primarily for the bigger SYNC screen and the lighter aluminum on the dash to offset so much dark interior...but also with the low gloss 18 inch wheel option.
I rented one of these- I was extremely impressed- It's fun to drive, turbo pulls good, great gas mileage, smooooooooth.. This is a well engineered car.
I currently own a 2019 Ecoboost mustang and I love the car! I previously had a 2019 mustang GT, but the high monthly car payments and high insurance cost and bad gas mileage, that was 3 strikes and it was out! And by the way, YES the hood vents are functional on the 2019 EcoBoost!
How bad was the mpg on the gt? I currently have a 19 eco as well but I was planning on trying to pay it off quicker than planned to trade for a gt but I drive a lot to work and school so I’m tryna weigh in all variables
@@saisriram7775 I live in the Deep South so it rarely snows. It drives great in the rain. I also get 35 MPG on the highway which is incredible for a nice sports car with 310 horse power. I know people want the 5.0 GT to be "cool" but my ego ain't that small that I need a loud, race car to prove anything. I'll take my Little Red Mustang
I own the EXACT same car (even the color) but mine is the auto. I LOVE it! My last Mustang was a 1990 GT and they have about the same HP so it definitely gets out of it's own way. Very fun car to drive!
I own a 2019 base model with a wheel and stripe package with 19 inch wheels 6 speed and LOVE the car! I use it for my 80 mile daily commute. Horsepower is 310 and 350 foot pounds @ 3000 RPM. Lot of power down low and you can stream your music with the crappy Sinc unit.
i got my 19 Mustang GT base for 28 grand and the heat extractors are indeed functional on the hood. there are cut outs underneath the hood if you just take a quick peak.
I’m a used car person and am just now looking at these 2019 models on used lots. I’m really impressed with the nuts and bolts, a 4 cylinder turbo with 310 horsepower, multiple setup modes, well appointed interior. Im starting to seriously consider this vehicle and a set of winter tires for it. They’re getting listed for $23k.
Best bargain sports car is the Miata. This is second best... but is the first best option if you don’t fit in the Miata. As for the “not a ‘real’ Mustang” stuff? Balderdash. The car wants to GO. Plenty of speed, plenty of acceleration, plenty of power.
I bought my base model thinking that all the mustangs came with that sexy touch screen. But i found out when i got it I was wrong....really wish Ford would give love to the base models and stop being cheap fucks
Sean Meyers it’s an insult to their customers to put a little rinky dink screen in their base mustang. Just to bolster their reputation they need to include that 8 inch touchscreen at cost. Just tack on the 500-1000$ that it costs(probably cheaper, who knows) and add it to the base price.
@@samueljames657 I whole heartedly agree with this. I plan on getting an after market stereo real soon anyway. I can't stand the base model infotainment console
@@samueljames657 can buy an iPad for a couple hundred dollars I'm sure you can put a nice screen in the base model for less. It's obvious they do that because they want people to buy the more premium expensive models but still a douchebag move and it will ultimately hurt their sales
Sean Meyers thanks for saying this. Mustang began pulling young buyers and a lot of them think of mustang as a higher brand than ford. I hope ford realizes this and make base model feel nice as well. Also did you know around MY 18 or 19 they got rid of lights on automatic transmission? How much did they save, like two dollars? I really don’t understand these mismatch of having keyless entry and automatic lights as standard yet no touch screen or having manual seat.
@@minimaldrip8177 it was a 2019 Base Model it only had 40 miles. 27k was the price after taxes. How is that a rip off when a brand new GT is 35k before all the taxes?
@@minimaldrip8177 If the gt is around 100k miles then yes but sadly cars now are expensive and a gt will not be lower than 33k . A brand new base ecoboost is around 27k with taxes
Kinda hard to answer that. Look around for others like it and see if the pricing is competitive enough for you. If the pricing is good and the quality of the car is good then go for it!
@@AskforBryan will do.. I made a offer for 22k out the door .. the didn't take that.. 2019 mustang ecoboost base line... 26000 on it..I think that was a very decent offer.
Please Bryan do some homework on the car before discussing. 310HP\350 torque. You say no sunroof, there is no sunroof available on any Mustang, that would have been a great option. Though I do thank you for trying to show a base model. I agree the infotainment system is a bit cheap. My wife's Hyundai for 5 g less has an incredible stereo. Ford just did a bad job there. Otherwise my 2020 is amazing. You are right about the 6 speed manual, that is until you get stuck in tight traffic. Thanks.
Hey Bryan, I live in SC. I am planning to go for MMustang eco-boost base model. I’m just wondering is it possible to upgrade the screen two bigger size with the most affordable options available. If I buy in North Carolina then Is it cheaper for me than in South Carolina?
NC vs SC won't really matter for pricing unless you just find a good deal somewhere. But yes, there are tons of options for upgrading the head unit. Check out the Tesla screen upgrade of you want to see something cool.
I'm paying cash, this thing is new with a warranty! The morons commenting about not being a real Mustang haven't been keeping up with the latest times and technology.
@@sc6900 People that say 'I can only imagine' should more than likely not comment...As any Mustang owner knows, these cars are produced to be modified. Base cars are produced to be rentals and entry level cars. And if you want more 'base' You can add subs, I agree BASS is lacking.
notice the battery symbol at 18:33 my brand new 2020 Ford fusion I just bought had this and then the car wouldn't start. Only has 547 miles. Currently in the shop. Kinda disappointed I hope this problem isn't widespread
28k for base model, base wheels, and manual? For a 2019? Yeah, not a good deal. There’s plenty of 2019s going for 25-26k with 18-19 inch more premium wheels, the 10 speed auto, and sync 3 ( cloth seats but the bigger screen with the toggles - I forget the package number).. and cheaper if you select manual.
Inadequate? Based on what? I’ve had my 2018 base model ecoboost in Ruby Red with 6-speed manual, 101A and wheel and stripe package. Bought it for 28K including tax and title. Since I bought it, I’ve done some minor mods (Steeda clutch spring, strut tower brace, COBB stage1+ OEM tune, custom 2.5” exhaust). It’s a lot of fun to drive as a daily driver, and as a weekend case for winding roads. Runs like a champ.

Is it safe to drive this car in winters with winter tires as I have heard a lot of negative reviews about RWD car drive in winters. I live in Toronto.
Good snow tires on all 4 corners would do wonders for any car in the snow. Just know it won't be like a 4wd or Subaru.
I was surprised by a snow squall when I first bought my car and I had A/S 3+ on mine and had no issues

Yeah they light comes on when the car is turned on, but not started. Pretty much all cars do this.

You are correct. With the right rebates, there are definitely deals out there with better packages. This one is much less than $28k with the rebates.
Like which cars?
You can’t get sunroofs on a mustang..
Good catch!
There is always aftermarket
get a convertible then
do not buy thus engine
check out other reviews...
