I love my 2018 Mustang GT. Not a day goes by that I’m not excited to get up and drive. It really makes people smile. It’s my 4th one and yes it’s the best yet. Always prayin for sunshine!!
Man, what a dream! im 17 years old ive always wanted a mustang ever since I saw the brand new 4 eye mustang GT in 2013. Im still wishing that I could get this exact year model, the 2018 GT, I just love the aggressive frown of the headlights, it just makes to look so menacing. Great car man!
Had a 2018 Mustang GT for a weekend. Fun car -- handles great, sounds fantastic, it's everlovingly LOUD. 460 hp. On a full tank of regular unleaded, I was able to travel 400 kilometres (248 miles) before refueling. I was driving it pretty hard in track mode, but yeah, if fuel economy is important to you, get a Focus or a Corolla. The 2018 Mustang offers better bang for the buck than the 2018 Challenger R/T (385 hp), and they both cost about the same. Two thumbs up for the '18 Mustang.
He keeps saying 5 more HP than the Camaro, but the Camaro is still up 35 lbs-ft of torque. Personally I'd rather +35 torque over +5 HP. But that 10 speed auto is going to be beastly.
Greg Miller Which means nothing. The Coyote is DOHC and is designed to be a peakier, higher RPM engine, and it is physically larger and no more efficient than the GM's LT1. HP/L is a 100% useless metric because horsepower is a function of torque and time. That is why we also must consider RPM. In the case of the Mustang, it's 7,000RPM peak and 7,500RPM redline, much higher than the LT1.
David Covey it is I️ would take it off right away. I️ would buy a 2018 and put on the 15-17’s front and rear bumper, hood, and lights. I️ would only buy it for the features
I want one so bad but honestly the 10 speed auto is way more attractive the steering shifter is really nice on the new ones and that dash and seats and variable exhaust sooo nice
Way too many speeds, constantly down shifting when braking, unless you like a bad manual shifter driver! 6 Speed auto is all you need, have all of the racing modes and paddle shifters without the damn manual clutch.
All the new and extremely exciting new changes on this car are all things That Chevrolet owners have been enjoying for years. It's exciting and im thankful Ford has finally stepped it up but really all i can say is "It's about time". Now, does this car have launch control, No lift shift, automatic hill start assist and the ability to lower the windows via the key fob? All things the Camaro has
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson yeah well a Corvette will embarrass that turd. no matter how much power it makes.ford pricing themselves right out of the market
I love the new 2018 Ford Mustang, but what I think would be even cooler if Ford would take the Mustang logo and put it on the hood similar to an AMG Mercedes-Benz. I think it would give it an even more unique look and make the grill look a lot cleaner!
Gotta admit, I hated the new front end when I first saw it leaked. After seeing it in person it has grown on me though. Still don't like the glossy grill however.
I hope Ford is listening to what I say because this Mustang with the Active exhaust sounds exactly like Frank Bullitt's Mustang. So hey Ford how about a 2019 Bullitt? I am yet to see the 2018 in person but man does it look good with the PP2 performance package, so far my favorite. I think should get rid of the PP1 package wheels for good and keep the PP2 wheels more affordable by using the tire set up of the PP1 while offering the aggressive tire and other upgrades set up in the PP2
Thats with all the options, not only that, the performance pack 2 will finally allow the gt to be quicker than a camaro v6 1le around all tracks. On some tracks before the facelift the v6 1le was quicker on a lot of the tracks. If you really look at the facelifted mustang like I do, its just as quick as the gt350 in a straight line for 7k less. Add the 7k into the mustang and you get a mustang that can do both track and straight lines.
@John The GT350 is most definitely worth the 7k price bump when you factor in the fact the Mustang GT will depreciate like crazy and the GT350 will hold value much better.
I agree. I just updated for a 05 v6 to 2018 v8 alot more to look at and get used too. I thought I had alot more options but not as many as I thought....
From certain angles I think the front end isn’t bad but from most I feel it looks too scrunched. Plus gloss black on the top half of the grille and matte on the bottom? Cmon... I do like the higher redline though.
I'm a Chevy guy too... but I think the Camaro is ugly all around inside and out. I will buy a Mustang soon. Ford has come a long way from decades ago. GM still makes great cars and trucks, but the Camaro looks like a hot wheels car I hate it. It has no visibility either.
I really admire the current gen Camaro and Mustang, as my 1st car was a Firebird. But I would have a really hard time paying $50k for either at my age. I would rather get an M240i as my dd.
Ok... , So it's growing on me ...! I cant see the engine under that Engine Cover. ? I like the new Dig. Dash gauges look cool..! Nice review of the 2018 it's only 50K ...ohhhhh.... !!!
You have to pay extra 2k to upgrade interior equipment in order to purchase the magnetic damping system. I’m ok with paying $3,995 for the performance package and $1,695 for the magnetic ride damping system. I am not ok with paying an extra 2k for interior, especially when I don’t care for interior at all. In march of 2012, I purchased my brand new 2012 mustang gt (auto) for $25,500 (most basic model available). MSRP was $29,999 but I was able to bring price down because it was the last 2012 on the lot. Guess I won’t be getting anywhere close to that but we should be able to get the GT for 3-4 off MSRP. Shouldn’t be a problem. Anybody know if there is away of getting magnetic damping without upgrade interior?
So, is the new 2018 body a good 100-200 pounds lighter than the '15-17 body? The changes look pretty subtle to me, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are. By the way, I may drive a Chevy truck, but I do have a 2012 base Stang for my actual daily driver.
"Let's put it in track mode and floor it so you guys get to hear what this thing sounds like. *proceeds to making some weird constipated sound as he builds rpm* Just kidding. Solid review!
A 19 year old boy in Oklahoma City Oklahoma was pulled over by Oklahoma Highway Patrol after felony eluding clocked at 209 miles an hour in a Mustang do a simple Google search
although the last generation sold very good. Ford should make a drastically change on the 18 one. it seems like no one want to trade out their 17 stang for a new 18, they might just waiting for 3 more years or buy a challenger as well. At this point the 18 challenger do beat mustang and camaro. saf

It is because it can go from a stop to 60 in less than 4 seconds. That’s entry-level supercar and/or sports car territory... for like only $40k
Asphalt8ficionado **50k +
Only the auto can do less than 4.0
C W Are You thinking of the Camaro refresh? 😂
This car seems to have the perfect combination of muscle and tech. None of the dealerships near me have any yet. I want to buy one.
Why is bill Clinton working for ford now?
fortis619 off topic lol
Papa Bacardi 😂😂😂😂
To appeal to black buyers.
Papa Bacardi they needed more HR nightmares
Papa Bacardi, haha, same thing I was gonna say!!
Great, they're finally giving this baby some power.
Roman looks good in high heels.
I had no idea the new 5.0 had 460 hp.. I think my brothers 13’ 5.0 had 420 hp? That’s awesome
Damn you daycare and mortgage, damn you!
Randy Holland You'll get there bud. Be patient.
Should of thought of that before you went there!
the mazda pulled him at 1:42. :) that second gear chirp souds sweet.
Los Angeles is the car capital of the world. With that much Traffic I'm going with the 10-speed
still warming up to that front end... good video!
He keeps saying 5 more HP than the Camaro, but the Camaro is still up 35 lbs-ft of torque. Personally I'd rather +35 torque over +5 HP. But that 10 speed auto is going to be beastly.
Facts
Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races
On 1.2 less litres...
Greg Miller Which means nothing. The Coyote is DOHC and is designed to be a peakier, higher RPM engine, and it is physically larger and no more efficient than the GM's LT1. HP/L is a 100% useless metric because horsepower is a function of torque and time. That is why we also must consider RPM. In the case of the Mustang, it's 7,000RPM peak and 7,500RPM redline, much higher than the LT1.
Yeah it has a lot more torque but 0-60 times they both are dead even. Can’t go wrong with neither.
Man.. first they show those heels and then you hear Roman's voice. Talk about disappointment. LOL!
EJ Fig */underrated/* */comment/*
The new Engine Cover for the 5.0 is horrible...
David Covey I agree
Agree too had a 15 more plastic doesn't help
Yeah, looks so flat but hey we can always take it off.
Yeah, taking it off will obviously be the fix! I can't help but wonder why they changed it from the previous one? It looked so nice before!
David Covey it is I️ would take it off right away. I️ would buy a 2018 and put on the 15-17’s front and rear bumper, hood, and lights. I️ would only buy it for the features
Love the front corner lights of this 2018 mustang.
Man I love that sound !!!!
American Muscle! Love that channel
Them gt models in red are amazing
just graduated fresh off campus, uhh.
E D I T: oops wrong video, nice mustang :)
Duck Fayce goddamnit jeffrey
In the U.S. these days, good luck finding a job that pays anything, much less one to afford a new car! Good luck though!
That honey comb grill configuration is exactly like my 2014 fiesta ST
Why is everyone hating on the front end?? It's lower and I think it looks great.
It was unnecessary. Previous headlights were better looking.
fndubs something with the headlights makes it look sad
I like it, it looks infuriated because it wants to run these thots over.
fndubs because the previous model was banging
fndubs cause they can
Love the TFLC, keep it up!
tears actually drip down from my eyes when i saw the Price of my dream car XD
Those red leather recaros look amazing
I want one so bad but honestly the 10 speed auto is way more attractive the steering shifter is really nice on the new ones and that dash and seats and variable exhaust sooo nice
the only thing that bothers me of this new mustang is the 5.0's engine cover 😂 it looks weird the older one was way better.
it has to have sound deadening in it to quiet down the loud direct injection lifter noise. All direct injection cars need this.
Interesting. This is true? I've never heard that before. I thought it was just for looks.
Greb Nitty yup it's true. Take a look at any of the ecoboost engines. They have the same thing. They are direct injection as well.
I like some of the new options like the magnetic ride and exhaust but I'll stick with my 15 thanks. Good review!
The best part of the 18 update is that EPIC noise.
10 speed auto, surely that's too many.
Way too many speeds, constantly down shifting when braking, unless you like a bad manual shifter driver! 6 Speed auto is all you need, have all of the racing modes and paddle shifters without the damn manual clutch.
You don't know anything about it
All the new and extremely exciting new changes on this car are all things That Chevrolet owners have been enjoying for years. It's exciting and im thankful Ford has finally stepped it up but really all i can say is "It's about time".
Now, does this car have launch control, No lift shift, automatic hill start assist and the ability to lower the windows via the key fob? All things the Camaro has
The base GT starts at $35,095,Premium is $39,095
The front end look great It’s really good
I love how you all at TFLC have mastered the art of incorporating porno into your video intros.
Finally, a Ford employee who knows what he's talking about.
I love my 2018 Performance package Mustang.
Good review Roman! I would like to see the Mustang GT get a HUD.
It’s not as different looking as I first thought. For some reason I thought it was going to be more Shelby looking. I still love it.
Nice review.
Cool car wish we had more exhaust clips
That exhaust is bitchin! I recently drove the 6 speed GT. That gearshift was quick and precise.
Sounds awesome.
I've grown to like the new front bumper. Not more than the outgoing one, but equally.
That sound 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
It will pull more horse power than the Turbo but won't take off quicker. V8s are a thing of the pass.
I would never pay $50,000 for a resale value falling Mustang . give me a Corvette anyday over this
Corvette values drop like a rock, and at the moment GM can't give those cars away
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson yeah well a Corvette will embarrass that turd. no matter how much power it makes.ford pricing themselves right out of the market
People want Quality, Sophistication, and Performance, and those things don't come cheap
Car is never a good investment. If u worry about how long it’s worth after 5 years then don’t buy a car.
Then buy a used one
Much improved!!
It would be nice to know at what rpm it makes 460 hp.
Cars are getting so technologically advanced that car guys cant even explain what is going on anymore.. its for tech guys now
I love the new 2018 Ford Mustang, but what I think would be even cooler if Ford would take the Mustang logo and put it on the hood similar to an AMG Mercedes-Benz. I think it would give it an even more unique look and make the grill look a lot cleaner!
Gotta admit, I hated the new front end when I first saw it leaked. After seeing it in person it has grown on me though. Still don't like the glossy grill however.
I remember when Clarckson mocked Americans in his CTS-V review like 10+ years ago. Today, the best selling sports car ...IN THE WORLD just got better.
what I want to know, and I know this is odd, is the mustangs new 10 speed fast enough to make it as fun as a typical DCT?
I'm just messin I loveTFL
I hope Ford is listening to what I say because this Mustang with the Active exhaust sounds exactly like Frank Bullitt's Mustang. So hey Ford how about a 2019 Bullitt? I am yet to see the 2018 in person but man does it look good with the PP2 performance package, so far my favorite. I think should get rid of the PP1 package wheels for good and keep the PP2 wheels more affordable by using the tire set up of the PP1 while offering the aggressive tire and other upgrades set up in the PP2
Is this the most scared public crowds should be? I am scared for my life with the mustang on the streets for fear of noob drivers plowing me over.
Why pay 50k+ for a maxed out GT when the GT350 starts at 57k. That's like 80 more horsepower.
Thats with all the options, not only that, the performance pack 2 will finally allow the gt to be quicker than a camaro v6 1le around all tracks. On some tracks before the facelift the v6 1le was quicker on a lot of the tracks.
If you really look at the facelifted mustang like I do, its just as quick as the gt350 in a straight line for 7k less. Add the 7k into the mustang and you get a mustang that can do both track and straight lines.
Anthony Weeks
The GT350 is my dream car but is it not worth it when compared to the GT
Dealers add 6-10k to the price of the 350 over msrp, and they will take off about 4k for a gt. Price isnt close at all.
John try another $10k in markups for the gt350
@John The GT350 is most definitely worth the 7k price bump when you factor in the fact the Mustang GT will depreciate like crazy and the GT350 will hold value much better.
The active exhaust is a $1000 option. It's not on every GT. I think some people would benefit from information like this.
I agree. I just updated for a 05 v6 to 2018 v8 alot more to look at and get used too. I thought I had alot more options but not as many as I thought....
Beautiful
Definitely a step up but I'd still prefer an LT1 with all that torque under the hood. The Coyote has never been good in that aspect.
Amazing From differences levels.
Being the best Mustang GT ever is like being the most attractive drunk girl at a frat party
Muscle cars and V8's + manual transmission. There's no other way to do ti!!
10 speed auto way better
Boogey man 10 spd AUTO = Expensive + Boring
Lol suree. I have nothing against DCT. Have fun driving your new Mustang......on Xbox
Yeah you can get a 10 speed try to race him from a Dig and get you're ass stomped it's the same transmission in the Zl1
Are people really complaining about the engine cover 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love it!!
Yes
0:02 Hey Roman, nice stilettos!
+mountainhobo Roman says Thanks
From certain angles I think the front end isn’t bad but from most I feel it looks too scrunched. Plus gloss black on the top half of the grille and matte on the bottom? Cmon... I do like the higher redline though.
ehhhh starting to warm up to the new front
I’m a chevy guy but the mustangs exterior now is extremely aggressive. But I still prefer the camaro interior.
Agreed, at first I don't like it but now I think is it aggressive than ever.
I'm a Chevy guy too... but I think the Camaro is ugly all around inside and out. I will buy a Mustang soon. Ford has come a long way from decades ago. GM still makes great cars and trucks, but the Camaro looks like a hot wheels car I hate it. It has no visibility either.
I really admire the current gen Camaro and Mustang, as my 1st car was a Firebird. But I would have a really hard time paying $50k for either at my age. I would rather get an M240i as my dd.
American performance cars are definitely not given up on manual s, it’s actually the opposite of the rest of the world!
Duh! Of course its the best! Mustang!
Ok... , So it's growing on me ...! I cant see the engine under that Engine Cover. ? I like the new Dig. Dash gauges look cool..! Nice review of the 2018 it's only 50K ...ohhhhh.... !!!
Chevy has had magnetic ride for 10 years already. Bout time for caught up.
Ford waited for MagneRide to become more Advanced
Every time a new mustang comes out it’s the “best mustang ever”. Lol
shouldn't it be that way?
You have to pay extra 2k to upgrade interior equipment in order to purchase the magnetic damping system.
I’m ok with paying $3,995 for the performance package and $1,695 for the magnetic ride damping system. I am not ok with paying an extra 2k for interior, especially when I don’t care for interior at all.

This video is not showing up on your channel??
I think the front end is more aggressive and classy. I hated all the desighns until this one.

He said, "we're going to build the best mustang we can." But all I heard was "...most expensive mustang."
why are you bitching about the price when your not going to buy one
billy heaton I WAS going to buy one.
You must be mistaking this 2018 Hyundai Elantra Coupe for a Mustang
Then I guess you're in the wrong video.
You are trying to hard
In Japan!
Black wheels... because looking like you lost your hubcaps is so attractive
It got a 3 out of 5 star safety rating which is 1 star better than the previous death trap. So yes, it is better.
So, is the new 2018 body a good 100-200 pounds lighter than the '15-17 body? The changes look pretty subtle to me, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are. By the way, I may drive a Chevy truck, but I do have a 2012 base Stang for my actual daily driver.
Wow!!! The new Mustang and Camaro now have the same transmission.
Hey FAST LANE CAR, that's 448 hp on CA 91 or any other state with 91 or less.
this new mustang sounds way better than the 13
It is.
Nice
"Let's put it in track mode and floor it so you guys get to hear what this thing sounds like. *proceeds to making some weird constipated sound as he builds rpm*
Just kidding. Solid review!
Can't wait for 2019 to buy one off someone that already took the depreciation hit and modded it.
How’s the handling ??
Nice!
Gen 6 will be a ducking destroyer when it comes out
In my country we didn't get the digital gauges and the sport exhaust
Too bad, I normally prefer analogue gauges but this digital display is fantastic.
