When I got mine march 16 it was a second car and used half the week or weekends. Now my boy has passed his test I have lost my fiesta so this is my daily, on;y work 5 mins away so weekly mpg is 13.

My wife has a Volvo XC60 so this gets used at the weekend as a family car but if we go out the 2 of us then it's my car. 16 months old and 6800 on the clock.

I don't think about the mpg when I fill it up, just drive it and still enjoy it every day.

Holding back a bit on using it but have done 1200 miles in 3 weeks. I live the Mustang and bought an Aygo for days when I'm taking the train, spaces in the station car park are tight and dings on the side from doors drive me mad. I've weirdly developed a strange liking for the Aygo and much as I hate to say it and despite limited adjustment lumbar support etc I find the drivers seat more comfy. On the other hand it can't turn petrol into magic....

It's my company car. But as I mostly work from home I only get it out of the garage during the day to deliver the odd parcel or just to hoon about if I'm not too busy :D

Most weekends there's a road trip somewhere in the summer while the weather's good :)

3000 miles in 3.5 months including a tour of Scotland and 4 of those weeks it was off the road

I voted 'gets used often but not really my daily', it's a bit more than that really but not used everyday. Been to Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Englandshire, all over Scotland, use it for commute (only @ 5 miles each way), going to the shops, meeting the Mad McMustangers, meets, car shows, but not a daily :lol:

Fuel consumption doesn't trouble me, it's an occasion every time, it was made to be driven, stroked, licked, cleaned, polished, waxed, looked at :D

It has never had a negative comment (one guy at the Scottish motor show, couldn't believe that Evans Hallshaw sells them :lol:)

Nah, don't like it ;)

Mine gets used very occasionally. Not because of my choice. My work is in the highlands and not going to take the mustang off-road. Too low for that:lol:

Would've loved to use it as a daily. Absolutely adore it. Had it since December 2016 and done 1800miles. Most of them on the McMustang meetings.

I dont like it, I love it!:hail:

Daily for me.

The dog loves the comfy back seats and the pops and bangs from the exhaust.

Even managed to squeeze a bike in the back and it can also handle a visit to the garden centre to pick up potted plants and a boot full of sacks of bark/chips.

The sheer size of the boot makes it a very practical car!

When I picked mine up I expected only the odd weekend trip and for a bit of 'fun'! I cycle to work......
Three months in and its around 1000 a month... I love the car so any excuse to go for a drive and hit the loud pedal.
What has surprised me the most is we use it for all the long weekend trips, I thought we would use the wife's Discovery Sport but she says the Stang is more comfortable on long journeys :headbang:.
My dog also loves the climate seats in the hot weather........ As above also had a bike in it, its remarkably flexible in what it takes, I love it!!:ford::cheers:

Another GT daily driver here - plus it's the only car in our household.

I'm a member of the local on-street car club, so if there's anything bulky or dirty or smelly to move, I'll use theirs. But that's very infrequent.

Drive mine once a week if I'm lucky. Should really sell it but something keeps holding me back!
Same here. Not sure why I haven't already gotten rid - never bloody moves. At the moment I take the bike out since I'm always keen to keep my skills up on that, whereas the Mustang just look pretty on the drive. Ho hum.

Every day - averaging just under 2k miles per month. Bloody brilliant. Can't understand all those who buy the thing and let it quietly depreciate on their drives or in their garages.

Better to burn out than fade away.....:D

Well, I've had my GT for 5 weeks now, but Ford has had it back for 4 weeks.. so, I'm hoping it doesn't get driven at all??

When I finally get it back, (Or a replacement car), it will be a weekend toy.
