Yes that is the 2024 mustang. In 2017 I bought an Ecoboost mustang with the performance pack as the only option. I paid 27500 for that Mustang. This is a GT convertible. $61,500? You have to be joking. I would expect to get a fully optioned dark horse GT for that. That is ridiculous. This is why people aren't buying cars.
The Ecoboost with the performance pack is $35,635 (after destination). Inflation calculator puts $27,500 in 2017 at $35,177 in 2024. So less than $500 price bump if you compare apples to apples. And then you have to ask yourself, "Is this $500 better than the 2017 model?" I'd say yes. And the GT convertible was $46k 7 years ago, or $59k adjusted for inflation. So a whopping $2500 more 7 years later.
Be responsible and install winter tires and you will be just fine. This is from a Canadian manual Mustang GT owner driving it year around. Also fuel economy can be actually outstanding for such a powerful V8; I saw many times 8-8.5L/100 km (26-29 mpg) highway driving which is truly mesmerizing! You obviously won't do as well in city driving.
End of an era. I don’t see why the Detroit Three have to kill V8 engine muscle cars though. Can’t they electrify other stuff and leave the muscle car as a preservation of American culture? Strange that the first move for electrification is killing muscle cars. Oh well, I’m still glad this Mustang exists, and that it’s super badass. The one time Ford does something right.
Nick, how tall are you? Asking as I am 6'5" and assume this vehicle would be out of the question as to fitting behind the wheel. Looks like your knees were sitting up pretty high. Were you able to get a comfortable driving position?
Wow you’re super tall! You’re super lucky and blessed! I’m sure you have a long line of women waiting to sleep with you wherever you go. Women love tall men and hate short men. You must be living an easy perfect life with zero problems
So overpriced now. Crazy expensive. It’s so obvious that Ford knew there would be no competition if you wanted a manual V8 so they jacked the price up and put zero effort in making it better. Also needs some bigger screens as it’s only blocking 75% of your outward visibility. Come on Ford, we need the screens to be the size of the windshield. Get your act together.
I hear that the Tremec 6 speed is actually the more reliable manual transmission on these Mustangs. If that's true, why not use the Tremec across the board instead of limiting the more reliable manual transmission to the most expensive (for now at least) models?
Ford is cheap. Chevy and Dodge used the Tremec manual for all there range and have nothing but positive things to say about the Tremec unlike the awful Getrag Mt82 Ford keeps pushing in its “budget” $62k Mustang
Because the more expensive models get the best components. It's pretty simple. As you go up the ladder, you go from a Getrag to a Tremec, from standard to better tires, standard brakes to Brembos, etc.
Should be dual clutch trans, it'd be alot faster than manual or automatic. Price is ridiculous. Mustang used to be affordable muscle car. Now it just plain over priced and wont even hold its value over the year like a Corvette
Considering Ford's previous adventure with dual clutch automatic transmissions, if they make those for the Mustang almost nobody would buy them. Many people had nothing but trouble with cars that had the old PowerShift DCTs, and they'll never buy another car with one.
Did not care for this review. No descriptions of the driving feel or of the clutch pedal effort or of wind noise. What have been the problem areas of this car? I heard the Getrag manual has high failure rates(?)
I got upgraded to a new one for a rental friggin trash ford really brings shame to American made and being an American Brand. The interior felt poorly layed out bunch of complicated junk in the car. Boring to drive would have preferred my subcompact I originally reserved if I'm honest. Why have all of the "American" car companies just pushed garbage these days same shit different year. So ashamed of this country now oh how the mighty have fallen smdh 😢
@@ALMX5DP the infotainment for starters the rear trunk release is in a weird location. My wife couldn't figure out how to get the seat forward to get the kid in the back. But I can't stress how boring it was to drive
@@cch201992 I can see some vehicles needing a bit of time to learn all the features and nuances. Haven’t heard of others speak to it being boring though. The Ecoboost may not be as lively or visceral as the V8 but I’ve still heard good things, and think it should be at least a bit more interesting than a Nissan Versa or something.
@@ALMX5DPi mean I drive a Tesla and a promaster cargo van that's converter. I've owned high end ram trucks I've own a Cadillac (which this one was trash too but better than the Ford) I own a BMW 128i which I would say is comparable to the mustang in size and that bmw was amazing I wish I never sold that car what a fun car v6 biturbo shee that thing power to weight was awesome will definitely buy another one of those. I mean for 80k you can get so many better cars 🤷🏻♂️with all that said Tesla sucks too imagine you went to home Depot found a ax you really like it has a long handle because you wanted the extra reach you take it home you paid for it then 10 days later a guy shows up at your house and says we have decided to change the design of the ax give me you ax we want it to have a smaller handle then they cut the handle down on the property you paid for. This is essentially what Tesla does to you oh you like the speed of your wipers? Well this new update changes the speed and you can't do anything about it. So I can't say Tesla is good either but way more fun to drive and way more convenient that the mustang

I think Ford has stated that by selling the Mach E that allows them to keep selling the normal mustang
@@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw That’s a good idea by Ford. I wish Dodge and Chevy did that.

hence why it's still a Ford. Their well-established reputation of only investing in gas-guzzlers
Pricing doesnt make sense though. Not sure what manufacturers are thinking at this point, other than just trying to price gauge the consumer.

Great review Nick.
Looks awesome
Uh...2024 Mustang?
Cool video man.
Mustang all day!
Still sixth gen. just a mid cycle refresh
I think you got the title wrong.
I had a 2021 stang and the back seat is for everyone shorter than 5'2",anything taller and you have to sit back there with a crooked neck.

Americans brags about muscle cars and drive automatic versions of these cars ...
I want that 10 spped manual transmission.
The 10 speed is geared toward the distaff set 🤠
Nick is kind of hot...
🔥🔥🔥
2024.... doesn't take much to update the title of the video.....
Look cool but for the price is not worth it. And most importantly it looks like a coupe Honda accord. Not so muscle car like
Who’s spending 60k on a mustang? 😂

Alex or bust
dont call it a motor its ICE inernal combustion engine, motors are electric . nothing like the sound of a v8 engine

Translation: I'm too poor to ever afford buying this car because I live in my grandmothers basement and don't have a job.
Why he's Sleep 💤 talking ?
there should be a egoboost v6 model and an ev model .... to go alone with the v8 ... egoboost 4banger doesn't sit right with in a mustang... to me ...
