Yes, the sound is incredible on the V8s, and the cost reflects that, and honestly with things the way they are now, feeding and insuring a GT as a daily driver, I'm glad I opted for the 4 instead of the GT...
I think your conclusion is spot on. If you want a fun daily driver, the Ecoboost is great. If you're putting on only a few thousand miles a year as your weekend toy, maximize the fun of the sound and feel and get the V8.
Look at resale value of Ecoboosts. If you buy a new one, your actual cost of ownership is likely to be identical to the GT, because the GT has less than a 3% increase insurance premium price, but has a WAAAAY higher resale value. If you're going to buy an Ecoboost, buy a used one because tons of people buy them and regret it and the market is flooded with really high depreciation ones.
@@BoopSnoot ur rt about the older ones but not this new one this is a whole diff car with high perf pack it’s actuallly a pretty good deal but i would just buy a v8 gt that coyote motor is incredible and the wxhaust is perfect 👌

Traded a '18 GT for a HPP with handling pack. Never looked back. Unbelievable handling and lots of torque. It's not going to beat a GT in the quarter, but 0-60 is almost a dead heat. And you need a PP2 to get close roadholding. You must get the handling pack with this car, it's a must have. Magnaride is awesome.
I bought one with the handling pack too. I can't believe how great and confidence inspiring it feels on the new england roads around where I live. This car is a bends dream come true. Spent more than a GT would run and said the exact same thing. I won't buy a GT without the PP2, ever. Especially after driving this for 10k miles so far
The good thing about the 10 speed transmission is that it's the same trans that's on the raptor if I'm not mistake. There's guys getting 500+hp out of their inline 4s smoking gts
Ford made seven different models of Mustang for 2020. Each was designed to fill a specific market, the HPP was designed to do track days and autocross at an affordable price point. The HPP coupe with the handling package is a flat out great autocross car and damn fun in the mountain twisties. If you want to race from stop light to stop light, get a GT, Bullitt or a GT500.
Cristiano, you are very ignorant about V8 cars if you think the USA is the only nation making great V8 cars as well as the fastest cars. Mercedes Benz, BMW, & Audi make the fastest & incredible sounding cars with V8's man. Not only do those German Hot Rods sound better than any U.S. car ever made but they will blast by any American car ever made except for the 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Red Eye. It doesn't matter what they cost, since you wrote there is nothing like an American V8. The problem with our people here in the states is how full of crap we all are with stupid remarks like what you just said. It would be great to fool ourselves & be the best instead of always saying USA, USA, USA while the rest of the world is passing us by because our dumbass government is so stupid to give all our money away to everyone who comes here illegally, or destroy our nations military because Democraps hate the military, or take apart our awesome Constitution because so many traitors are selling us all out. We used to make the best V8's in the world, but our ALLIES & OUR ENEMIES are passing us by because our friggin' government run by Democraps are selling us all out & weakening this once great nation. Demoncraps like Obama forced Americans to buy Japanese cars in 2009 with his CASH FOR CLUNKERS bill, that told folks to dump their older American cars with the help of the U.S. gov so you could buy Jap cars which killed the American auto-makers. We keep getting screwed by our own gov who doesn't give a shot about the words "MADE IN AMERICA" so watch how much you applaud our cars when we are behind everyone else & are making crappy cars thanks to the idiots in DC. Those Democraps have become anti-American Socialists who hate our guts. Instead of those D.C. political hacks working for us, they are threatening us with joblessness, a dead economy, killing manufacturing, & stupidity.
@@jacksabbath7986 it looks like you misunderstood my comment. ( note that I didn’t call you ignorant, why? Because I’m an adult and I can respond respectfully) First, Let’s calm down a bit and analyze what my comment it’s about.. The video it’s about a 4 cylinder mustang. My comment was strictly about mustangs and the particular sound they make. I specified the “sound” of the American V8. Nowhere in my comment it mentions performance or “what is better” or comparing with its European counterparts.
The easiest way I can describe the difference between GT and HPP is that the GT is a muscle car, the HPP is a sports car. If you put it that way, the sound of the HPP is more understandable.
The Ecoboost mustang is really not bad has decent power for a inline 4 I have one their fun it’s RWD car with 310 hp to crank n 350 rwhtq that’s a lot for a lil 4 banger
Well what I got, was the 2021 Mustang EcoBoost HPP with all the track options. #M0276. And I'll tell you why. For less than 40,000 Dollars American I was able to get a track toy that would put Mustang GT owners to shame on a track. I know this because I have put Mustang GT owners to shame on a track. Unless you have spent well over $60,000 you are not able to touch the performance I have for under $40k. Not only that, but you can't have that fun all day like I can without fading brakes, overheating and general bad mechanical times. To put it simply, the 2021 EcoBoost HPP is one of the best values for the money for a track toy I have come across.
40k for a shit 4cly? Wtf I paid 14k for my 2008 bullitt with 37k miles on it. Your car is just another weak mustang on the road. Mine is a modern day classic and paid 25000 less . For 40k you can buy 03-04 cobras , 07-14 gt500 but you bought a 4cly.
Well, you go buy a v8 mustang here in the netherlands lol. It will be over 100K euro here, due to co2 taxes en other taxes. Its rare to see a new v8 riding around here.
Important to note that the convertible is quite a bit more expensive than the coupe. Personally I'd get the 2.3 HPP coupe on the lowest level trim that I could get, add a few choice options, and drive the heck out of it.

Well, 42k for a four cylinder is not that great when you can get a coupe gt loaded out for around same price. Also has around 130hp more and does the 0-60 1.5 seconds faster. Perhaps the front may handle slightly better due to less weight over the front wheels. And let’s be honest, you aren’t sticking any real human above 12 years old in those back seats.
The GT is rated at 3.9 sec (auto), 4.7 sec (manual) as the best it should be able to go in a 0-60 run. Mustang HPP rated at 4.5 sec (auto), 4.9 sec (manual) as the best it should be able to go in a 0-60 run. Non HPP EB rated at 5.1 (secs as the best it should be able to go in a 0-60 run. GT vs HPP is only .5 seconds difference. Now, rated numbers are NOT easily achievable, especially so for the GT. Plenty of '18 +GT owners getting 4.3 - 4.7 (auto) secs under GOOD circumstances. Rated numbers VS real world. Im on the mustang6g forum, there's already a FEW HPP owners reporting some 0-60 runs, 4.8 secs with AUTO as the best SO FAR, and low 13's 1/4 mi.

That was a great review although if you would have tried a couple more times you could have gotten a better 0-60 time. That car has been timed at 4.5 seconds. Of course that was with a coupe and the 10 speed but even so the manual convertible should only add half a second so you should have been able to do it in 5 seconds or so.
@@mjz187 Lol It's a Mustang. It's not gonna be worth worrying about depreciation either way unless you got a Shelby or Special Edition model like a Roush or RTR.

I think the people that are buying the 2.3 are of a generation that likes to tune cars with turbocharged engines. Relatively cheap bolt-ons for the 2.3 can make a substantial amount of additional power. Shame subaru never made a BRZ turbo, it would be a great competitor to the ecoboost mustang, likely cheaper as well.
Joe Why would anyone compare the two? The GT makes more power, torque, and costs more. If I was in the market for a turbo 4 I would compare the Ecoboost to other cars in its class. That’s like saying you should compare the GT to the GT 350, and we all know which one you’d pick

Why the installing 4C + Turbo is cheaper for the manufacture the engine produces maybe 115/120hP the Turbo the rest its waste of money all the turbos will fail and cost $$$$ to replace all the Ecoboost is B.S
The V8 is obviously the choice of my balls and my mustache decorated face - a V8 engine also lasts forever and it’s a V8 besides being a V8. I wonder how many miles the turbo EcoBoost will achieve before having serious issues. I don’t understand why they didn’t maintain a V6 instead. On a serious note I wonder what the V8 resale value will be when Greta from Sweden gains even more fans. I have seen some longterm driving reviews that said that EcoBoost fuel economy wasn’t that much better compared to a gently driven V8... I will always tell myself to go for the economic option and cave at dealership and definitely drive of with the V8 - Life is too short for EcoBoost
The interior is awful the screen is like a huge cell phone most apps are useless nothing cool its complete disaster i dont see any tech in the car the interior is very cheep i was at the dealer just to check it out the steering wheel design is form 2007/08 Mercedes + mix with Honda 2017 only in the mustang the steering wheel is huge its like driving a bus
A little critical are we? What are you comparing it to? Love my 17’ GT Premium, it’s not a BMW, Benz or Audi but it’s a good value for the performance and price and it is comfortable for daily driving.
Eco boost sucks as does that junkie problem proned 10 speed transmission. There was an Ecoboost Mustang stopped at the traffic lights next to us. We rolled down the window to listen to it take off. It sounded just like a sewing machine. Yuck 🤢. I felt bad for the guy. Good review.
Honestly outside of the GT Supercar and two Shelby everything Ford sounds like ass. Stock Coyote exhaust makes the Stang sound like a Harley. Gotta get the Corsa if you want it sound like proper V8.
This BS engine sound is the worst I have ever heard in my life. Six cylinder engines from the 60's are better. Ford has always lead the world in building crappy cars. The Maverick, Pinto, Edsel, Comet, Escort, Tempo, Focus, Fiesta, Mustang II, & the horrible Explorer just to name a few. I am so ashamed of the way the USA is falling lower & lower each day. Are we stupid, crazy, losers, liars, dumb, cruel, angry, or just the worst human beings who ever lived? WTF is going on.

@@drivingsports 0 to 60 of 1986 Mustang GT 7.0 seconds SVO was 7.7 seconds so it didn't suck that bad compartively at the time. Are we talking about driveability or dependability with the suck?
.7 seconds seems like reasonable alternative
23 mpg combined comaired to 18 for the gt
R East Dependability. It was too much of a compromise.
Which sound? - Seriously!?!? No competition, V8!!!
Miata is only the answer when you want a radio on your motorcycle imho
Anyone who puts 4 people in a mustang does NOT love them.
Guess ford hates mustangs?
I think I will get the v6 I honestly don't care what engine it is lol
Sir, you said 2.5 liter towards the end! 🤦🏻♂️😝
Or are my AirPods jammed in too much? 🤦🏻♂️🤣
What’s 0.1 liters between friends?
@@drivingsports I laughed so hard when I saw your comment 🤣
Ah...if they can get 22 more hp they can get 50??
V8 or bust, especially considering how great the current Coyote V8 sounds. Crazy how.expensive this Mustang gets
I was the same, but after wanting all those accessories, having them with the v8 would of put me back another 10g, for the GT with all these features is just over 50k
@@rallygsixtwo4836 so you got a 4cly ? Lol why not get a lightly used gt ? I got a 2008 bullitt with 37k miles for 14 grand. My car is waaaay better than a 4cly new mustang.
What is the top speed?
155 mph
How do they achieve 22 more HP ???
Bigger turbo 63mm and larger radiator. Regular ecoboost has 60mm turbo
Why the hell is Ford still using prop rods? Even Toyotas and Mazdas in the 20k range have hydraulic struts these days. Wtf?
Why the installing 4C + Turbo is cheaper for the manufacture the engine produces maybe 115/120hP the Turbo the rest its waste of money all the turbos will fail and cost $$$$ to replace all the Ecoboost is B.S
lol you gonna compare a bullitt to a hpp eb? c'mon man.
Lol 0-60 just as the drop top going down and up
A bargain at almost 45 thousand dollars. Yeah right. You can get an older used gt for 20 thousand with a faster 0-60
…and they don’t handle.
Same top speed as a gt.
The V8 is obviously the choice of my balls and my mustache decorated face - a V8 engine also lasts forever and it’s a V8 besides being a V8. I wonder how many miles the turbo EcoBoost will achieve before having serious issues. I don’t understand why they didn’t maintain a V6 instead. On a serious note I wonder what the V8 resale value will be when Greta from Sweden gains even more fans. I have seen some longterm driving reviews that said that EcoBoost fuel economy wasn’t that much better compared to a gently driven V8...
I will always tell myself to go for the economic option and cave at dealership and definitely drive of with the V8 - Life is too short for EcoBoost
Turbo need that gas lol
2.3 L ecoboost or 2.5...haha..
The interior is awful the screen is like a huge cell phone most apps are useless nothing cool its complete disaster i dont see any tech in the car the interior is very cheep i was at the dealer just to check it out the steering wheel design is form 2007/08 Mercedes + mix with Honda 2017 only in the mustang the steering wheel is huge its like driving a bus
A little critical are we? What are you comparing it to? Love my 17’ GT Premium, it’s not a BMW, Benz or Audi but it’s a good value for the performance and price and it is comfortable for daily driving.
@@Sonicaceman Am comparing it to a damm bus the steering wheel is huge 😂
GT or nothing
Lol they have to spell out high performance for this little four cylinder. Get the 5.0 and laugh at four turbo. Nuff said.
Get what vehicle makes sense for you. The ones who laugh at others are the most insecure among us.
The wheezy four banger🤣😂. NOT
Ricer
Eco boost sucks as does that junkie problem proned 10 speed transmission. There was an Ecoboost Mustang stopped at the traffic lights next to us. We rolled down the window to listen to it take off. It sounded just like a sewing machine. Yuck 🤢. I felt bad for the guy. Good review.
What do you drive?
Honestly outside of the GT Supercar and two Shelby everything Ford sounds like ass.
Stock Coyote exhaust makes the Stang sound like a Harley. Gotta get the Corsa if you want it sound like proper V8.
@@quaranjones2359 Probably a Hyundai
@@quaranjones2359 Wuling Bingguo ... if he drove a V8 he wouldn't be able to hear the ecoboost sound
This BS engine sound is the worst I have ever heard in my life. Six cylinder engines from the 60's are better. Ford has always lead the world in building crappy cars. The Maverick, Pinto, Edsel, Comet, Escort, Tempo, Focus, Fiesta, Mustang II, & the horrible Explorer just to name a few. I am so ashamed of the way the USA is falling lower & lower each day. Are we stupid, crazy, losers, liars, dumb, cruel, angry, or just the worst human beings who ever lived? WTF is going on.
