This guy has no idea what he is talking about in terms of how fast this car is, especially relative to hot hatches like his Fiesta ST. The Fiesta ST is 0-60 mid 6's and 1/4 Mile in high 14's. The Focus ST is 0-60 in high 5's and 1/4 mile in low 14's. The Mach1? 0-60 in low 4's and 1/4 mile in low to mid 12's. The Mach 1 is MUCH faster than all the hot hatches. And if you get the handling package it's been shown to be as fast around a track as a GT350R! This car is in a totally different league than those teenager puddle jumpers, and the price reflects that.
Finally someone that gets it. I've never understood how a reviewer and journalist can be so completely off on their information. A mach 1 will absolutely thrash a stock "hot hatch" in a drag and on a track. These cars are not even in the same league. A mach 1 is a beast of a car for the price point...a hot hatch is for teens and twenty somethings that watch fast and the furious 3 times a day, and will put a 6 inch can for a muffler on their car and make it sound like a pissed off weedeater, right before they drop 8 grand into making them run what a stock mustang will when it pulls off the dealer lot....put that same money into a new 5.0 or mach 1....you'll have a daily driveable 10 sec car that will carve up a track like its nothing and put bus lengths on cars in a drag....lol
Now you get it! The perfections in the imperfections. That's what the mustang is about. It's beastly. You have to be skilled to drive it really good, you must pay attention, you experience the car. That's why we love it in America. Feeeeel the car!
Great review. As a Mach 1 owner I concur on a lot of the points you made, although I have the 10 speed so the cupholder position isn't a problem for me and being in Aus, I don't have or need a heated steering wheel. Completely agree with your sentiments on how it drives as well. My last two cars were an M550i and an M3 which were much faster, more competent, more refined, better tech, the list goes on. The Mach 1 is still so much fun despite all of that and sounds amazing. None of the BMWs I've owned have come close to sounding as good or getting as much attention as the Mach 1 does
Probably won't be the first person to say it but 'I like to save the planet', then proceeds to start up the gas guzzling V8 with probably an average mpg of 20 or below haha.
That is pretty shitty of Ford to not switch the cup holders and e brake around for the right hand drive market (even if it is, clearly, the wrong side). Not too concerned about rear seats. I've always kinda wished this car was just an unabashed two seater.
Couple things I want to add as a Mach 1 owner - This car is Fast, only noticeable if you push it past 6K rpm it'll beat most hot hatches on the M-way / dual carriage - the handling is better than a normal s550 however it's not the best part of the experience I guess - discontinued now so adds to the "special edition" factor - back seats are a joke lol
Agree with this, apart from the ‘fast’ bit! I do agree that it’s damn quick past the 6K mark… but if you are comparing it to modern turbo hot hatches, they get on the power from 2k rpm. By the time you’ve got the Mustang on the power, most other turbo vehicles will be long gone! But, that doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The Mustang driver would definitely have the bigger smile ;)
Mustangs is not a hot hatch, so to compare to them is just plain ludicrous. Plus i have yet to be beaten anywhere by any hot hatch in mine (older 2019 GT not a mach 1). On track and on road, just leave them for dust.
@2:25 "I have a reusable one here because I like to save the planet" wise words spoken from inside a petrol guzzling daffodil murdering V8 mustang. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wish Ford would equip better looking wheels as the "Torque Thrust" style wheels seems to be the standard designs Ford equips their cars with for the longest time! I even got similar styles wheels on my 16 GT and it was the first thing I got rid of because it's such an ugly ass wheel design!
If you wanted better handling you should have gotten the handling package. Base model anything is not going to handle well. most people underbuy and are disappointed. Should always overbuy and be impressed. plus when you buy the special packages the cars hold their value better. Resale on base model automobiles is horribly disappointing. I say if you want to buy any car or truck. be honest with yourself in how you are going to drive it and what you truly expect from the car or truck and buy accordingly. He is right about the mustang. It will always make you smile. If you're not smiling when you driving or not looking back at your car after you park and walk away. Then you bought the wrong car.
I just purchased a 2021 Mustang GT 401a pkg and I look at the Mach 1 as the slightly older and cooler brother of my car. I'm extremely happy with my car but if I had the funds to go Mach 1 I certainly would have done so!!! I honestly don't see myself owning anything besides Mustangs in my life because I love them so much!!!
With the smile on your face I think I could live with the cup holders being there but saying this they could have thought about this a little more when going European with the car.
Mate bloody good review ...for a pom I'm in australia.i brought the Gray mach1 6 months ago.ive watched every single review on them...yours is the best we done...anymore.??? Mach1 only thanks.cheers Anthony
Lol. Many Mustang lovers don’t want to see this video. Hurts their ego and they really believe they have the best car on the planet. Not surprised at viewer count.
It’s big enough. The biggest challenge would be getting it over the rear lights. If you can get it through the opening, the boot is more than big enough 👍🏼

@@jrvbamafan1 I was wondering the same thing, what 480 hp car is slower than a hot hatch. What is he talking about 😏
I like to safe the planet and then starting up a green machine :p good joke xp
Hahaa 😝

Not so sure about "much faster"
Probably won't be the first person to say it but 'I like to save the planet', then proceeds to start up the gas guzzling V8 with probably an average mpg of 20 or below haha.
My bad 🤷🏽♀️😂
Poor baby's worried about the planet, how cute.

A smile on the face is the best selling point of Mustangs ... :-D
Mustangs will forever look out of place in the uk.
Was t it designed by a Brit?
Normal apple fanboy crying cause it's not simple enough lol
It would be the same with an android tbh. Sync 3 is not an Apple issue.
Was going to comment "usual moaning pom" till I saw the smile on your face driving. Cheers from Kiwiland.
It’s been a while since I’ve been called a Pom 🥶 thanks for watching!
Too bad you Brits never got the Shelby GT350s. It’s much better than the Mach 1 which is just a glorified parts bin car.
Says the elitist with “Shelby” in his name.
That really is shit the position of those cup holders.
Hello! really inccredible view, catch you later.buddy,
Thankyou
Want to review my new fiesta St3? Would be an honour!

is it discontinued? I think you can still get it
@@asalcu not in the UK
@@rsndspecrange interesting, you can still get in Europe I think, probably left hand drive countries, but the waiting period is around 8 months...

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.
The Mustang is a man's car!! Great stuff!!!!!
Definitely not well suited for beta European's like this guy. Or whatever the appropriate pronouns are.
Now tell us your average MPG 🤣
I didn’t look. I just emptied the contents of my wallet in to it.
Who cares about fuel mileage? Oh I guess you British girls do😅
@2:25 "I have a reusable one here because I like to save the planet" wise words spoken from inside a petrol guzzling daffodil murdering V8 mustang. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well the steering wheel is on the wrong side, so this mustang sucks!
Arguably it’s on the right hand side. In both senses of the word 😏

Top class as usual bud 👍 👏
Would love one alongside my GR 😀
Thankyou! Me too! It’s a bloody lovely car.

You don’t buy Mach 1 for backseat😃

I will see if I can get my hands on another!
Lol. Many Mustang lovers don’t want to see this video. Hurts their ego and they really believe they have the best car on the planet. Not surprised at viewer count.
I thought I was pretty fair 😬
Good lad, I wanted to know how big the boot was, need to persuade the wife I can get the pram in the boot no problem 😁
It’s big enough. The biggest challenge would be getting it over the rear lights. If you can get it through the opening, the boot is more than big enough 👍🏼
You enjoy whining apparently.
Who doesn’t? 🙃
That engine. Special car , surprised this is available in UK
It is a special car. I really enjoyed my time with it.
