The sound from the GT would do it for me
True
That ecoboost didn’t have the active exhaust. It’d sound better if there was
RaHuL pRaNaY theres no comparison of a 4 cylinder sound to a fucking V8... unless it’s a sports bike
Bruno Soares he didn’t compare. He stated a fact about the exhaust
I own a 2016 Mustang Ecoboost Convertible. To be honest, it severely lacks the rumble I want and remember from the 70's when I owned muscle cars. I'll be selling my Ecoboost for a GT next Spring...
Great comparison video Joe! I fought this battle for a long time earlier this year. I had a 2016 EB Premium with "the good stuff", vs. trying to get a GT that wasn't a base, but obviously had cloth seats, no pony projection lamps, and missing all sorts of little things..... it did have the Sync 3 system which was at least a big plus. In the end, both cars IMO are phenomenal at different things. A BIG thing to consider with the GT, is while it's fast as heck... you can only push it as far as the open road you have ahead of you. Meaning if you live somewhere with a lot of traffic, you're trapped like everybody else. The big thing that killed me living in CA was insurance. It would cost me about $1,400 MORE a YEAR in auto insurance. That's a big zonk!
Both cars are great, if I made more money I would just got for a fully loaded GT Premium... but EcoBoost Premium is what I have in reality and it's still a good experience. Thanks for the excellent videos!
BSchoon55 and It’s very pretty
I want a twin turbo 5.00000000000000hhh
@@hermanrogers1325 plus it can be made just as fast as a GT. Check out videos of mine on my channel mine beats 5.0s all the time.
Although it took a little work.
My current budget says Ecoboost, my budget next year says GT.
My heart and soul say GT350 while my wallet cries
Gt350R with the 8200rpm redline 😁😁
@@ristekostadinov2820 I would be afraid of messing you the carbon fiber wheels
No GT500?
@@WhiteBuffalo-ou6ew Nah, has no manual option, and I'd rather have the GT 350 with that flat plane crank. I'm sure the GT 500 will do great for what it's built for but it's kind of disappointed me.
@@mistamaog Ah. I see
Less than half a second in and the answer is GT lol
LMAO!
Not for me! EcoBoost Premium all the way!
It's not that I need the power, I need the v8 sound, and I got a gt premium 401a, all the luxuries in a mustang gt
GT
Ecoboost
The GT obviously has more power but not everyone needs that. Some people prefer more features than a better engine. For me, anyone would be perfect.
Anderson it’s not about the power.. it’s about the sound... dodge has 3 V8s... the 385hp one (not so powerful) and the 6.4 484 hp I think... sorry but the ecoboost just sounds shit
@@brunosoares.6077 You don't buy a car mainly because of sound. If you're just into sound, just get a headphone and download a V16 sound and play it while you are driving.
Ecoboost premium mustang with an active exhaust + premium plus package + (Optional) Black accent. Will be best option for me if I’ll go for an ecoboost.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Kenneth!
Sounds perfect!
I bought the ‘19 EcoBoost, fully loaded. I love the GT sound but the EB snaps necks all the same! All the £££ I save in tax, fuel and insurance goes towards other investments I can turn into more money for a time in my life when I don’t need to make wiser financial decisions! Thank you, Ford 👌🏼
I really appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
Fairly sure the seats in the Ecoboost are not just ventilated, but actually cooled, using the AC system.
GT.
MORE POWAH, BABY!!
Donut media
I clicked this video because I watch all of your mustang content that I see pop up in my sub feed. When I found out you were comparing a BASE GT to a PREMIUM Ecoboost I was even more excited, because this is a very real decision that some newcomers to the Mustang market have a hard time making; myself included. The only REAL reason I personally want the GT, is because it's what I wrote down when I was 10 years old for a school assignment. I wrote down that my dream car is a Mustang GT, not just a regular Mustang, but a GT; and so I'll feel like I cheated myself if I end up getting an Ecoboost instead even though it's much more practical for my needs. Also the sound of the GT is irreplaceable lol. I haven't even watched the full video yet but I'm super excited, so thanks for another great one in advance!
My point with the whole opening statement (if you've even read this) is that I feel if you put "BASE GT or PREMIUM ECOBOOST" at the end of your title instead, than it would give people a much more clear idea of what this video is really about and will make people even more curious to click on it!
I am so glad that I could share this with you!
I've had both Turbo 4 and GT (earlier fox body). I loved both. Of the two you reviewed, I would pick Turbo Boost. You save money at the dealer, gas pump and insurance. And living in the real world, you'll save money supporting the local 5.O! Can't go wrong with either one.
Insurance isn't that much cheaper than the GT because it's a turbo car
I would go with the Ecoboost just for the costs involved. I watched your 2018 video on these cars a few months back and chose a fully loaded Ecoboost Convertible that was still 2k cheaper than the base GT's that the dealer had. I have since modded my Ecoboost pretty well and have tuned it and am putting down close to 320-330 wheel hp currently with more mods to come someday in the future. Again, the HP numbers he mentioned are Crank HP. They put alot less at the wheels (especially the ecoboost). At Factory, I was putting down 265-275hp at the wheels. I did try the GT but for the costs and fact that the car felt so much heavier, I went with the Ecoboost and could honestly never look back.
Thanks for your input Brandon!
I at LEAST expected to hear a LITTLE oomph from the ecoboost… the sound alone just made my decision for me
Great question Joe! As an owner who's talked to a lot of other Mustang owners there are a myriad of reasons between the choice. The two biggest to me are, are you on a budget? How obsessed are you with speed? Those two make up most of the decisions between the two choices, both of which are great cars for the price. I have less than 45k in my '18 A10 3.55 geared GT and it has ran a best of 11.2 @ 125 mph which puts it in or near supercar numbers for a fraction of the cost.
I would pick the mustang GT BUT MUSTANG SHLEBY GT350 is what i really would like too have great video like always🙂
the mpg on the eco-boost makes a strong case here for me tho 90+ more HP would up the fun factor. Joe, once again, i like these kinds of comparisons.
Great input! I will have more to come!
Love my 2019 Bullitt!
It's a great car!
It is...I love mine too!
I love all Mustangs. Back in 1974 only 4 cyclinders or 6 cyclinders were offered. My right foot is heavy enough. I don't need a GT. My 2017 Mustang EcoBoost Premium is a great daily driver.
Same here. Got a 2021 and it’s dope
I was considering getting the 2020 premium ecoboost with high performance package. However, just saw the price on Fords website and it's 38k with all that. Now I'm thinking WRX limited. I always liked Mustangs but the WRX just seems like a better deal.
I like the HP option as well on EcoBoost. I will wait for a slightly used one, as I know they depreciate quite a lot.
WRX unreliable
That screen on the GT is nasty
It's a base model
DanielDaniel1 true but other base model coupes have touch screens
The seat controls for reclining the back are manual so rear passengers can quickly get in and out. As the driver, I'd prefer power, but if you take your car out with a few friends a lot, its a lot more convenient.
The Pony Package EcoBoost Mustang has 19" wheels, not 20". The trunk lid spoiler is different on the GT, it has fins on the sides.The base GT needs SYNC 3 with driving modes and the 19" rims of the Black Package,, that is about $3K more, but you can save half of it by getting a manual.
You know me...I picked a Pre-Owned EcoBoost with SYNC 3 Heated & Cooled seats. Android auto is now updated.
I try to drive slow but shes Red & she still goes... I save $17 a week in fuel. Weekly: $25 a week vs. $42 per week, from my G37X!!!
You rank on the hood props. I'm ok with them because over time they won't wear out like gas struts.
12:44 “fish scales” 😂😂 raitis always with the random comments
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
You got me laughing at the dash look like fish scales. And the Zonk of the year on the dinky screen. 😂
I am so glad that I could share the laughs with you!
I have the Mustang GT pp1 with the six speed manual. No complaints. I enjoy ever second on the twisty roads around here in Murphy NC!
YESSS.....got the same configuration! Press the start button and you´re in auto heaven ;-)
I have the same configuration as well!! I am in Fayetteville NC!
Choosing a GT version means that you need to be well-contacted and well-versed with the performance tuning house community: expert stuff, truly professional stuff, hardcore racing enthusiasts club, and you must set aside a significant budget to fit yourself into the tuning-enthusiasts lifestyle. Being in a performance tuning house community is like being in a league of your own... you talk your own jargon and you walk-your-own-walk, so to speak...
If you buy a GT version you then become a new man. You are not your old you or your old self anymore. You become a hardcore racer... you are reborn into the performance tuning house community.
I love the way you put that!
You're in a damn Mustang! Ta hell with an "Info-Tain-Ment" screen!
It’s 2019 old man. Pathetic ford puts that shit in their flagship vehicle. Same thing they put in the base work truck f-150’s (which is reasonable for that).
Android Auto and a bigger back up camera are pluses for me. That's why I went for the premium option. An added plus is the heated and cooled seats. I've enjoyed that option more than I expected. It's nice to have options. I appreciate Joe's reviews.
Its 2019 and that basic infotainment looks like a giant calculator LOL.
For a daily driver I wouldn’t mind the Ecoboost. Especially a nice one like that. For fun and occasional asphalt ripping I’d pick the GT. That tiny info screen is atrocious! Shame on you Ford 🤬! Good job Joe and Tom!👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
The intro always gets me pumped up
I had a 2019 Mustang ecoboost rental for a week. Got it with 1800 miles on the odometer. Cool car, definitely peppy and surprisingly comfortable but didn't really feel as fast as I hoped. The stock exhaust was ok; for what it is I wouldn't say it sounds terrible. Haven't driven the 5.0 but that's what I'd spend my own money on no question.
I really appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
I agree. I like the tan interior inserts. Very nice.
Love those Mustangs, I'd settle for either one!
I have a '19 EB, 101A, 10 spd, PP, Magneride & active exhaust. MSRP was $36K. A GT specked the same way was $12K more. Also the EB can be leased while the GT can not.
There's nothing like v8 ik gas mileage is bad but nothing beats that v8 sound
Gas mileage isnt that bad tbh. My 2015 v6 got 16 mpg and 210 miles max till empty. My 2016 gt gets 17 mpg and holds 280 miles max till empty
v12 and v16 sounds better.
Definitely like how the California Special comes with gloss black upper and lower grill
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Surprising how far technology has come that the 4 banger mustang makes more power than the V8 from twenty years ago. I sometimes consider getting a GT but I’m a miserly hyper-miler, have two kids, and don’t wanna look like a goon every time i flex my big toe.
@5:53 OMG that guy in the background walked in there and bought a Ruby Red Pony
Even before the video started, my answer is a premium EcoBoost. I like all of the extra and the ability to use Anroid Auto.
I've never seen the point of electric seats. They just add weight and expense for something I will use just once - the first time I get in my car. I adjust the seat to suit me, and then it never changes for the rest of the time I own it. 2 or 3 position memory seats maybe, if 2 or 3 people drive it regularly, but for one driver, a waste of time, weight and money.
That was me that walked behind you while you were discussing the attributes of the rear of the GT (-;
Bro in the passenger seat mad he didn’t get to drive the eco boost 16:47 😂
i like the eco boost
I really like that touch of bright trim on the Pony Package. Pity Ford is discontinuing it.
Hey bro Coming From A 2019 GT base Owner, You can change the traction control to Advanced Sport Trac. Just hold it after pushing it.
Thanks for that ownership input.
if not 8 than .. hate
about time this video was made
I guess better late than never! I hope it was worth the wait!
bought a new base eco then sold it after 3 months for a base GT, so worth it
If I was to get a new Mustang as a daily driver, and not going to race it and stuff, but like the looks, handling and decent performance, loaded with the options I want, I would get the EcoBoost. If I wanted a muscle car to drive on days off, for the performance, I would get the GT, with minimal options and a decent stereo.
If I had serious mucho dinero, and really felt like getting most of my dream cars, I would probably get a Shelby Mustang like you featured, a ZL1, and new Supra Launch edition and a new Z51 Corvette C8, along with some of the nice lesser daily drivers like the Toyota Camry and Rav4 TRD, a Honda Civic Sport Sedan and HRV Sport, and a new Corolla XSE Sedan, and maybe the Acura ILX A-spec, among others.
But yeah, at a set price for these two Mustangs, what I said above. I think most people would probably choose on the same basis.
Ideally, if gas, insurance and other expenses were not an issue, A GT with that performance package with all the similar options as this EcoBoost version would be ideal. You can't beat the power and exhaust tone. Like my 2006 Chevy Impala SS was pretty nice back then, but what gave it character that got the attention, and was so therapeutic was my Flowmaster exhaust. It sounded so nice with the 5.3L V8...
I say GT-350 is right for me.
I like the rims on the red car better!! This blows the Camaro out of the water as far as looks
I would also add that the rear blind spots aren't as bad and you get a bigger trunk opening.
@@AStanton1966 No question!
Why not both? EcoBoost daily driver, GT for the weekend/nightlife!
Why not 3? Buy the shelby to stunt on the haters in your free time?
I like the idea of a spirited 4 cylinder. Who ever makes it. They are just this side of a bad ass full electric.
Personally I wasn't impressed by both of these Mustang's. The EcoBoost has a very nice interior with SYNC 3 and the yes the great leather 👍👍. EcoBoost sounds hideous kinda like a detuned RS 👎👎. The GT bad interior, no toggle switches, no illuminated sill plates, no SYNC 3 👎👎. The only thing I absolutely loved was that 5.0 V8 460HP and that Menacing sound👍👍. I would personally get the GT Premium or the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Sorry for the dislikes I've been noticing that the Mustang's have been decreasing lately. Thanks Joe.
There's no replacement for displacement....GT for me!
Those are the famous words!
They do need a replacement for that tiny screen though with a bigger one as standard lol. That is a disgrace to a lot of people’s eyes. You have to admit that console with the 4 inch screen is butt ugly.
I special ordered my 2018 GT with the same rims as this GT. If an almost identical rim scheme is good enough on the $10 million Bugatti Centodieci, it's good enough for me. The all black rims is getting old fast. GT muscle money is the way to go.
Thanks for sharing your great input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Joe!
You 4-got to include the 2019 mustang Bullitt. The best mustang ever built, & the most reliable. Whyyyyyyyy
Nice review. In 2018 the torque was raised to 350 in the Ecoboost..
Thanks for that info and the compliment!
@@RaitisRides No problem!! I'm kind of a Mustang nut so I'm crazy about performance stats...
@@cyberspd I appreciate that!
I gotta go with the GT. Great review!
thx for reviewing the base gt, everyone seems to review the premium pp1
Of course Mike! I love to cover all the trims!
It’s just hard for me to imagine an American muscle car with a 4 banger.
I think that is the same fo may people!
Thanks for the awesome video Joe! You are the man!
I actually like the simplicity of my base Mustang GT, it reminds me of a race car, nothing extra but speed!
GT (just not in that package level).
The mustang is getting prettier with each new coming period...
I totally agree with you!
Lol not really. The s550 looked dope till 2018. The new front end looks like a catfish. The 15-17 looks the best and so do the Shelby's as they also kept the same original s550 look.
I love this review!! My wet dream Mustang spec is GT Premium +PP2, in manual.
@Alexander Sounds like what your mama said about you..
@Alexander AawwWWW. Ya.
Definitely power, but in a manual.
- Truth
I prefer the EcoBoost over the GT! The EcoBoost with little mods and a tuning can smoke a 5.0!
NB Films my prius can smoke a ferrari with mods too. At the end of the day, it is an ecoboost. It is still a civic. You beat a Lambo, Ferrari, Corvette, R8 well it is still what it is.
If ford pre installed the ecoboost with a high quality exhaust like a Borla atak, it would be a fantastic option,
That’s the biggest difference, the sound, the power can be set on par with a couple mods and a tune,
Obviously the gt can produce way more power when tuned but the main issue with that is, is that over 90% or mustang owners don’t take their cars to the drag stripe or a race track to utilize it.
And in the city, I don’t really believe you need a 800+ horsepower car, since you’d be pulled over daily it you tried pushing it.
Any future ecoboost owners, word of advice, invest in a high quality exhaust, and enjoy. It’s a great car for a great price.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective on this one.
Get the Mustang GT. I bought a 2017 Mustang V-6 and always look to see if a passing Mustang is a GT, Ecoboost, or V-6. Unfortunately, I can't get pass the plastic oil and transmission pans that Ford now puts on the Mustang GT. If they used metal ones, I would trade up in a minute. Meanwhile I keep hoping that gas goes back to $5 a gallon and I'll be called a genius for having the V-6.
A Stanton1966 i got a 2016 V6, I wish I went for a GT. Good car no issues 4 yrs now. I am suprised for a Ford.
i have always loved mustangs. I just wish they had 5 seats instead of 4
With the Advanced You can Slide, with The regular Trac off it,just lets you spin tire.
Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Would be nice to know the price of the GT optioned up the same as the Echo Boost,also I presume the GT runs on premium fuel 98 in Australia ,whilst the Echo Boost runs on cheaper fuel91,difference in price here is 20 cents per litre,which makes the GT a lot more expensive to run.
Thank you for your input and perspective! I really appreciate your watching!
Elderly gentleman at 5:57 gave the EcoBoost about as much consideration as I did before I chose a GT...
I watched the Air Freez trailer ahead of you. I'm impressed.
GT Performance pack 1 all day long. I have nothing agents the eco boost, I just feel if you're buying a Mustang you should go all the way. However you can't lease a GT. Ford will not do lease programs/incentives on them. But you can lease a fully optioned eco boost no problem. Which makes no sense, Ford competitors Dodge and Chevy have lease programs on V8 Camaro's and V8 Chargers and Challengers. I guess Ford likes loosing out on money.
A Dodge dealer was willing to lease me a new Challenger Hellcat for about $1,000 a month.
Been to the track many times this year. The only time they had to close the track for a significant amount of time was when a newer generation mustang lost traction and hit the wall. Just test drove one recently. Definitely not my thing.
You know, that 6 speed is just too much fun to pass up for the automatic.
AGREED!
I looked seriously at the Mustang last year. No question that the Ecoboost was the better choice imo. I don't live in Kansas. I live in the Pacific Northwest where back roads are filled with curves and mountains actually exist. With the available performance and suspension upgrades, the Ecoboost is a credible alternative to a European sports car. The GT is a classic American muscle car where performance is measured in 0-60 times, quarter-mile times, and engine sound. The 300 lb weight difference over the front wheels is the equivalent of carrying around an NFL offensive lineman under the hood. Weight balance? Fugget about it. The Ecoboost is far better. Run each on a fifty mile loop through the mountains and I'll guarantee the driver of the Ecoboost will be on a second beer by the time the GT pulls into the parking lot. And all that doesn't even touch the amenities available in the Ecoboost for the price of a base GT.
NUff said. Put it bluntly. Those looking for a driver's car on roads with curves and mountains to climb may well opt for the Ecoboost Mustang. Those who live in flyover country and those insecure about their gender identity will love the GT.
Pefer the Ecoboost premium with MBRP exhaust
I really appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
Other mustang owners always make fun of the ecoboost. Just to avoid that and have more fun I'd just go GT.
Or you could ignore what those who view an automobile as a way to bolster their gender identity have to say.
Both,GT for the strip,eco for the track. Scrap the fake piped in sound and give me damn manual.
I like how you are thinking!
Wow. I love that red one's look. Sadly they doesn't imports various options for mustang as well but base models here in my country.
There are only 2.3 Ecoboost basic coupe/convertible and GT basic coupe/convertible models.
Oh wow that is interesting to know Jake! Where do you live?
@@RaitisRides I live in South Korea. lol
I really envy you US people. You have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of choices of your own mustang aren't you?
@@jakesung6584 this is true but there are many other cars we do not get here in the USA.
Great reviews!! Simple question for you, do the mirrors fold on the 2019 Mustangs?? (Tight garage issue).
I don’t think power folding mirrors are available on either trim. I watched a RUclips video of some guy in the Philippines and his Mustang had power folding mirrors on the one he reviewed… but not available in the US to my understanding.
It’s interesting this is still the way it is. The original Mustangs with the six would get nice add ons in order to sell. I had a T-code parts car for a v8 Mustang I was building that had the console, air conditioning, a nice wood steering wheel, and the pony interior. I took as much of it as I could for mine lol.
nice comparison. I wish someone would do a review of a Mustang with the ceramic interior, cloth or leather, and also with the 101A package.
Idk about you but I like less trips to the gas station on long roadtrips. Means I save some money. Ecoboost for the win for me.
Having paddles is very helpful for roll racing tho… otherwise I’ll have like half second delay if you floor it.
5.0 just needs a 🌪
Honestly, your investment would be best at the gt especially with a manual. As the manual dies out and and how sought-after they will be including equipped with the v8 its going to hold the value much better. You can get a better loan with a gt because loan companies know that they will hold. Im sorry but there is no excuse. Go v8 or go buy a sentra
Joe both of them are gorgeous but if I were looking to buy I would pass on both, especially the Ecoboost. Nothing against people that like the Ecoboost but I'm a five ohh guy. But no performance pack and an automatic on top of that? No thanks. Great video as always though brother!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I totally agree with you Eric! You and I have very similar taste!
Thumbs, as usual, to Walker Ford for letting you have access to some very nice vehicles.
Can you do a comparison video of the 2019 mustang eb premium with a 19 camaro 3lt? Love your videos. Looking forward to that one.
great review
Thanks for watching!
does the eco come with a enhanced sound system with a v8 engine sound track?
I see what you did there!
You made the point I was going to make of V8s from long ago. It really is almost a matter cost and MPG. Of course there is no replacement for displacement. LOL
Thanks Dan for sharing your thoughts on this one!
Raiti's Rides I had no idea that it came across like that. It was supposed to be the power is there from years ago V8s. Thank you for knowing what it meant
For me is GT but the full spec
AGREED!
What would u suggest between the eco boost and Camaro 1lt. I don't want nothing above $27,000. But want something enjoyable and fun show off. I like the Camaro but haven't had a long enough test drive to see what people mean that viewing is horrible. Drove the eco boost it sou d almost to quite to be sport. However people say since the 10 speed came out it's worth getting. Help please
I would go Mustang.
@@RaitisRides thanks. Its it true that the eco boost 10 speed is same engine as ss Camaro
It is the same exact transmission.
If I was considering an ecoboost, it would be a 2020 with HP package.
Smart man!
