03:00 My Thoughts vs Polestar 2
23:00 "Random People" opinion
25:59 Robert's Opinion (Another Polestar 2 Owner)
I’m amazed with all the content you’ve prepared before the surgery! It just keeps coming. Gotta keep the youtube algorithm happy I guess. Hat off to you Misha!
Misha...Phil was asking when we were coming to visit you ;)
Soon I hope!
Im almost 42 yrs old and have been watching car "reviews" on the internet since mIRC days. For as long as i can remember, THIS is the first video in decades that feels like the person presenting is honestly reviewing vehicles and is not biased positively (which has become expected).
1) you do not swipe to open the back you kick.
2) lane keep assist can be turned off. it is in the driver assistance settings as are other things you complain about.
3) the rear door will not smash someones fingers until you pull on the door as there is a kickstand holding it open. the kickstand retracts after you start to open the door.
4) the stiff suspension, speed, and braking is different depending on the mode you put the car in. whisper(eco) loosens the steering and reduces power, engage is normal driving, unbridled stiffens steering and increases motor output slightly from engage mode.
5) the frunk is designed to not only hold small items(without removing divider) as well as can can be used as a cooler.
6) the review car software is not updated for some reason. the volume gauge should be horizontal instead of vertical.
7) the divider in the frunk is not in the 2022 models. they put them in because the emergency escape button is non-functional in 2021 models. This will be fixed in future updates but to this day it is still not fixed.
these are just a few things i noticed in your review. can't think of anything else atm tho.
I have a Mach E GT PE. Loving it so far! The Polestar looks great too.
Polestar of the 2 for sure. I don't really understand the link between we want to save the planet by making more efficient cars but pump out endless SUVs, there seems to be a huge gap in the smaller more normal cars. The door opening on the mustang really isn't 73k quality to me.
Well an electric big SUV is still more efficient than an ICE big SUV. I agree fully however we need options in all sectors
@@sneaky_krait7271 I just really don't see the point of 99% of big suvs, especially performance ones, all the development money into engineering around physics that a proper sports car doesn't have
@@Richard_Turner I agree, but you miss my point. The people buying a big electric SUV were going to buy a big SUV anyway. It's still the more efficient option then
@@Cloxxki You are comparing different efficiencies now. That is space efficiency, getting as much space in the outer diameter as possible. what's meant here is the efficiency of the drivetrain and aerodynamically efficient. Electric drivetrain is 3x+ more efficient with it's power
Because people want them. 1 in every 2 electric cars sold in Western Europe are SUVs
I used to own a Mustang GT(V8) -18 and now a Polestar 2. The 2 is faster and more fun but I miss the cold starts with the GT. The reverse lights is the worst part of the 2. The Mach E is larger and looks pretty good. I will stay with Polestar and hope they improve on steering feel and sports seats.
And the Model Y Performance is better than both of them.
@@letsgobrandon5800 Oh wow thats cool. I'd still choose the 2 or Mach E
@@letsgobrandon5800 it’s a pity the exterior was inspired by whales and the driving quality is like a self built car
@@gabrielvanya8245 i agree the suspension was horrible when i test drove the Model Y in march. i would never spend €75,000 on it.
i have taken deliver of the Polestar 2 AWD long range dual motor version last week, luv it. i get the cup holders as for the rear seats its fine for my use. i wont stop driving my ICE car but i think for the simply use i want the E for its a gud fit. have to say i dont mind the Mustang Mach E.
Both/either cars should retain user settings, especially regarding lane keeping. That being said, seems like a lot of the comparisons really are user preference. Really glad both companies allowed you to compare the cars!
I'm sure ford will fix with the update. After all, you log into your profile when entering the car so it shouldn't be too hard to make it save all the settings
I have a polestar 2 and swapping for a mach e tommorrow. (Company car) all biding time until i have an EQC or Etron sportsback. I love the polestar my car prior to it was a volvo so felt at home. With a family with 2 kids (one of whom is disabled) the boot just wasnt big enough. Saw the mach e was generally bigger so asked to swap. Im hoping the polestar 3 is on my car list whennit comes out as im totally converted to EVs and they are stunning cars. Ill update on the mach e once ive had it a bit
So many people make a sweep movement to open the trunk handsfree. But at Ford at least, you just have to make forward-backward movement with your foot
what a quality on those montages.... hats down keep up the good work
Why you are not allowed to drive the Mach-E on the Nürburgring? These cars are to drive with!
I suspect the stock narrow tires won’t perform that well. What are they 225 width tires for an almost 5000 pound car?
@@ericg1310 That sounds like a major plus for the P2. Driving experience is absolutely important!
Twee verschillende ontwerp werelden vergelijken met elkaar, gelukkig is niet iedereens smaak het zelfde. Ik vindt de Polestar 2 een hele mooie auto om te zien.
Beetje rare planning dat de Mach-E 6 dagen stof staat te happen voor jij tijd hebt om er mee te rijden Misha.
Just a note on the Mach-E rear passenger door. When the button is pushed and the door pops out a couple centimeters, but before opening the door, the door won't close until it's opened more fully in order to prevent fingers from getting pinched. That was on Jay Leno's Garage review of the Mach-e.
Another cool feature is on the rear lift gate. We have an Escape PHEV with the same feature. When parked in the garage, the lift gate would hit the garage door at its largest opening, but, while the door is opening if you hit the close button two times quickly, the door will will be programmed to stop opening at that point. Now, when the door opens, it stops just short of the garage door, and when the door is opened where there's more clearance, you just push the door up to its maximum height.
Don't they have a safety feature for closing the door on fingers? I think I saw a video that shows that. when you push the button, the door opens a bit, I think at that moment you can't push the door close without opening it a bit more prior
That´s correct
I have a GT ( = GT Performance in US) on order. Maybe I will visit the Nurburgring this summer. Looking forward!
Misha, these videos are so good even if you don't care for EV's they are still worth watching!
Well done.
The best electric Mustang to me is the "Zombie 222", and exist since at least 6-7 years :D that one is something :D
It's weird to me that Ford placed an electric SUV under the Mustang brand.
Like... as an SUV it seems great - it's comfortable, spatious, a smooth cruiser with good utility *BUT* , and that's a big piece of ass right there :v , as a *Mustang* - being the sporty brand for Ford - compared to the Polestar, I'd take the Polestar all day any day.
So, as You've said, it's comparing lemons to oranges: they are both citrusy electrics but one is a sweet SUV and the other one a sour sporty sedan. XD
I don`t like the outside. I like the inside. But for me, having 3 kids, the missing door handles in the back would be the final reason against the Mach E. Anyway, in my area the is no Polestar dealer or service anywhere near. Ford dealer is just 9km away.
The rear door will not close or smash fingers until the door is pulled out. however there is aftermarket handles that can be put on the door if the concern is too great.
This review is leagues ahead of other channels' review of the Mach E. Hope to see more! ☺
I have the Polestar 2 now for about 2 months and I totally agree with your pointers, especially the cup holders and back up camera. But like you, I prefer sporty drives.
Oh and to add, your videos about the P2 is actually what made seal the deal on getting one. I considered the Mustang GT but it was just way too much.
Tim reverse light at night is poor in my P*2. So bad I sometimes have to ride the brake pedal to just get some illumination. I'm even starting to look at aftermarket reverse lights.
I don't see mustang in this video i think you mesed up with title
I saw there are aftermarket handles you can install on the rear doors for the mach e so you have handles you can grab onto like the front doors.
good review!
i think i would pick the Polestar 2 without the performance upgrades and by that have a softer ride and save some cash (specially compared to the stang). and of course download the extra ponies for overtaking 😎
if you ask Polestar nicely you can even get the gold belts without the performance pack.
I was looking at getting a polestar 2 when people said it was a model 3 competitor. Then I saw the price and it was no for me. Too expensive for me. I ordered a Cyber Orange Metallic Mustang Mach-E and have loved it very much. Polestar 2 is a good car from what Ive seen. Though some things would be infinitely annoying, mainly those cup holders. Great video, aside from some noise popping.
Misha talks to the bull about milk..😂😂😂
Misha aka chuck Norris
I ordered my Polestar on 19"wheels with regular suspension for comfort, but I can always update the power to the full 350kW when I get bored. For me, the Polestar was an easy choice with the styling and price.
Hello. Polestar Please make a wagon. I will then buy. Rifinarad!
6:00 - great observation about kids. there's definitely an Emergency Room visit waiting in some families future. those accidents already happen on rear doors that DO have handles. nice car but that's something parents who buy one should be mindful of.
There's a safety feature for that
Polestar needs to upgrade the P2 platform to an ev dedicated one. Untill there its always behind tesla and other ev platform cars like the mach e in terms of practicality and rigidity
It is quite confusing with the trim levels and horsepower with each trim level. The select trim has 266 bhp, the premium (and California 1) has 346 bhp and GT has 480 bhp.
My question, Is it a mustang after all, or do they just use the mustang name and reputation as a selling point of the electric one ?
Depends on your definition of a mustang. it has the feel of a mustang in the suspension and has power to back it up. most of the no mustang complaints are luxury interior, suv, 4 door, and there is no v8. so compare that to what you think a mustang is.
Thanks for a nice objective review. The Dealbreaker for me on the Mach-E was the low towing capacity (I own a camper) , I really like the looks, and it does drive well enough, it has a more practical interior and you can kinda see out of it. Both cars probably need lowering springs to look great, but with the roads around here the ground clearance is handy.
It's funny that Robert thinks it looks a bit like an old Cayenne, because this was my sons reaction the first time he saw pictures of it;
'that looks nothing like a Mustang, that looks like a Porsche'
I think with both the Mach E and the Ford Lightning Ford are being conservative on purpose to get people who aren't specifically looking for EV's to buy them.
I’d watch all car reviews like that 👍👍
Reverse parking is always better (for safety and other reasons). So I think Polestar is right to put the charging point at the back :).
The raised conduit in the middle of the floor in the rear seats of the polestar, and the lack of a rear wiper were dealbreakers for me with the polestar. It rains a lot here so a rear wiper is a must for me. And that floor conduit, dunno what they were thinking adding that. The polestar just feels really claustrophobic for me.
The Polestar is based on the XC40's CMA chassis architecture, which was originally made for use with an engine (and transmission). They couldn't just wish the transmission tunnel away when making the P*2 lol
You did an amazing job Misha. Just a natural :) good review. Thx
Does Europe get the Mach E gt or gt performance?? I’d be curious how you’d feel about those models
It does from this month
You can get both of them.
It’s called GT in Europe, but it is the GT performance specs ( so no GT inEurope )
Bravo, Misha-1.0 😎💪🏼👍🏼
Id pick mach E over polestar any day. Model Y is much better comparison against the mach E. Also the thibg with door closing on kids fingers... handle or not, it wiuld happen. You also always open the door then try closing it. If you press the button to open the door, you will NOT be able to puah it close u til you open it first. This is exactly designed in case kids press the button and put their fingers in the way. You missed this detail becausw you always opened that back door past the point that it opens on its own. They also did put the little handle on back door and did a test on it with humans. NO ONE used the handle to open the door so thats why they left it out
I have not tested the Polestar, but my friend has that Mustang. And the thing is... Its NOT a Mustang. Ford developed the car and then realised it was gonna get more expensive tha their target price. So they slapped a Mustang logo on it and made it a bit sporty. But its absolutely NOT a Mustang. American brands have never had a problem with abusing their brand names.
...kind of reminds me of BMW with their M-division. Talking about the watering down of a brand: that is one of the best examples of it.
You inspired me to buy a Polestar 2 with your earlier videos, and you even inspired me to take mine to a couple of race tracks! I've never done this kind of driving before and I can't get enough!
But yeah, seeing your opinion in more detail, I think I'm in agreement. It's a very comfortable, very sporty EV. If that's what you're looking for, it's perfect.
The US cup holder size joke doesn't excuse the dogshit cup holder placement in the Polestar lol
Mach-E: wonder how it works getting into the backseat in cold winter. Does the door register touch as it should, also do you need to take of your glove?
it's a push button. long as you can push the button in it will work. the emergency unlock however is touch sensitive and not actual buttons.
Amazing review/comparison! You have an amazing neutral way of comparing the 2 cars. Doug DeMuro maybe could learn some stuff from you. I think you should do more video's like this in the future!
Interesting that this is so expensive in Europe. In the US the Mach E is cheaper. That totally changes the preference for me. I would not pay 10k more for the Mach E
simply enjoy the video, nice and honest... thanks for a great job
Good video
Funny my 14 explorer xlt had same issues with the gps software and bonnet latch. I fixed the latch with some adjusting and raising it a touch, the software go around was my phone. I would hate to be in the backseat at 6’0 when the driver gets out before me and the seat comes on back and doesn’t stop as it smashes my knees. Your consumer information gathering at the beginning was everything.
23:14 What in the Big Ben alternate universe is that huge watch, the guy in the black tee is wearing??? 😲
Great video. I have the Polestar 2,as someone who has kids and does a lot of skiing with roof box etc, the car works great for that, the space under the floor and frunk are more useful than initially meets the eye, Polestar for the win. Have driven the Mach E, the quality feel in the interior is definately on Ford level, meaning not even close to premium
Regarding the chargeport location: the location of the Polestar is better when you want to charge at Tesla chargers. The cable won't reach the location of the Mustang unless you park like a tool ;)
Sorry to say but video quality is still blury. Im missing realy clear picture in 4k mode like in the "old days". :)
Good content as always... You shouldn't say "honest review" kind of implies that some reviews are not. IMHO ;)
Some reviewers out there got paid by the car company to talk about their cars so this "honest review" part is still normal tbh
Here is a recent example: ruclips.net/video/LaEo6tz7AZ4/видео.html
Paid to get an award and comments switched off. Horrible.
@@mgcharoudin that autocar vid was the most amount of waffle I've heard in 5 mins
@@mgcharoudin That one almost make wonder if they got free escort girls if they agreed to read a BMW-supplied manuscript. If BMW was so much ahead of the rest of the world as they implied on technology, creativity, value for money, ..., then 98% of all cars would be BMW.
Mach looks better than Volvo. Volvo looks like slob. Mach have better rear leg room than Volvo that's why truck bit smaller than Volvo
Surprised there was no driving though...
Hi MiSHA..
Oh no No NO !!
an electric 4door SUV- style Mustang?? Who at FORD Motor Company came up with this silly Idea??
I've always liked FORD Mustangs since the 1960's-70's-80s-90s & into the 21st Century !
BUT this?.. a total travesty & emasculation of the Mustangs heritage & racing history !!! 👎👎☹️👎👎
The person or person's behind this concept ought to be Shot !!
What I don't get is why they called it a Mustang?
I've never owned an SUV and never plan to ever own one so for me it'd be the Polestar.
I wouldnt milk them cows, they are BULL.S haha
First of all, a really good video, feels strange not to be screaming round the track, that’s not a negative by the way.
Why would you mention milk to a field full of bulls?
Maybe a herd of mares would have listened?
Frankly if the Ford was not branded as a Mustang I might prefer it.
The mustang is without a doubt better for someone who enjoys driving. It just isn't going to win over the enthusiast community though
Two nice EVs that I might consider. If there were no Tesla.
Cool video 👍🏻
Ironically just passed a black mustang mach e and next street was a polestar, no way does the mustang look 13k more, just in looks alone that is never 73k.
13:55 it's a American car the cup holders better be good. It's really what we're good at, since we have a hard time making good cars most of the time.
Think you're being fussy, looks like a Porsche Cayenne
404 error: mustang not found
It looks like a decent car, and I certainly have a more positive opinion of it after seeing this video, but for me its got the wrong name.
Mustang, as a brand, conjures a specific mental image. Regardless of the generation you know what you’re going to get. American muscle. A strong well defined car, with a lot of straight line power and a sharp silhouette. That’s not what this is.
This looks like a good family workhorse. Something practical to take the kids out in, or to drive long distances for holidays. Call it an Escort Mach E, call it a Focus Mach E, hell call it an E-Max, but don’t call it Mustang.
This feels like a dilution of a brand, by what should be a capable and celebrated vehicle in its own right.
In 2024 the Ford Mustang Mach E is cheaper then the polestar.
Here is, where the nerd comes in... Misha,
its not only numbers at 3:05 , its also units.
By the way, that new guy on your channel, that we saw yesterday, where is he now? ;-)
found him... 17:44
Apex taxi crashed! Waiting for a video
haha great video man
Its a moo point, like a cows opinion, its all moo
That was a "friends" reference incase anyone was wondering.
You probably weren't, but nevermind, now you know (something completely useless, I should apologise for wasting your time here, really, shouldn't I? This is thirty seconds that you'll never get back, I should start a time share to give back all the time I've stolen over the years, with all the pointless RUclips posts I make, it would bankrupt me to be honest, but so would a full tank of petrol these days, are you not impressed with how long this sentence is? I shouldn't have asked, to be honest I could've gone longer. I should probably close the bracket now too )
That's probably more than thirty seconds I owe you now, sorry.
mustang which doesnt look like mustang
I would take the Polestar over the Mach E
Mach E is srewed by its performance limiter on the autobahn, even a opel mokka 2014 140 ps is faster than the mustang mach e whoch costs 7 Times as much
from what i understand lg is the reason that exists. they would not warranty the batteries otherwise. they will be changing manufacturers and possibly chemistries soon and that should go away.
I'm not sure you want milk from those cows Misha, look a lot like bullocks to me. :D
bro wash that car before you ask for comparison
Big screen remains me of going to the Drive-ins in the 70s 🤣🤣
I hate Ford, but I would take it over the rubbish Volvo because Saab is better than Volvo
The only thing that reminds me of mustang about this car is the name lmao
Polestar ALL DAY. Misha I want to experience it when I come :O
Mach e GT top speed is max 200km/h wtf ? A 140hp car can do 220.
Lots of strange things with the Ford but the standout worst is the name. Why on earth did Ford think it was a good idea to dilute and destroy the icon Mustang brand?
Owners must spend all their time charging the Mach E. I never see one.
Yeah. Polestar for me.✌
that is not a mustang sir, that is an abomination..
mustang is sooo slow above 150kph
if you want speed look up cobra jet 1400 and mach-e 1400 prototypes. this ts what ford is aiming for at min.
@@jkirk99 1400 ps is a little too extreme 😂. Something in between would do
@@rudyyyxu i know that is why there is only one of them. my point is this is their testing platform. they are using this platform to test future improvements to the mach-e. ford is still new to the electric business and the mach-e is a gen 1 product. i feel this is why they went to an suv body since a coupe that behaves this way would be frowned upon by customers. while at the same time extending the mustang branding to new vehicles.
To call that thing a Mustang makes me feel ill.
Cheap, cheap hard plastic built in Mexico, thats my opinion about that "Mustang". Would rather wipe my ass without paper than having one.
I will never get over the fact about Ford using the trademark 'Mustang' name for an electric crossover.
But my honest opinion is all about the Polestar 2 being a far superior option in terms of everyday drive-ability.
Lol
Really disagree on charge ports. Easiest from my experience is right at the nose like leaf, eniro etc. Quick and easy to park up nose forward and plug in. The argument about a crash causing damage is daft. Stop driving right up peoples ass.
In front of the front door is the worst location as parking forwards can be an issue at some chargers, with the cable struggling to reach. Also need to walk a bit further to the charger to get cable, walk back to the port, back to the charger to initialise etc.
The ideal location (that should be adopted as standard) is nearside rear like polestar 2 and more importantly tesla. As tesla rolls out public access to their network I would only now consider a car that would be compatible with superchargers. The mach-e certainly is not. wrong side for nose-forward parking, and even if it were on the off-side, its too far back for the cable to reach. You have now excluded yourself from probably the most reliable charging network.
*edit* Forgot to add that the PS actually looks more like a mustang than the mach-e. i like both cars though but ultimately went for the PS as the PCP here in the UK is a lot more competitive. The balloon payment on the mach-e is much, much lower on the mach-e making monthly payments a lot higher. same reason I excluded the model 3
The beginning of the video tell us all. (Mustang big popo)
Moostang.
You have such a way with animals
I'm jealous
