Bought mine in March this year as my pre-retirement gift. 2019 w/27,500 miles. One owner car, was maintained well. It looks fantastic inside and out. Had a PDR guy out Sunday to pull 4 dings that were there when I bought it, looks like new. It is not my DD.

Couldn't be happier. I mean really, to me it's the perfect car, and all the personal-preference mods have made it "mine". Will be 4 years old shortly and just turned over 9,000 miles. Installing the supercharger sealed the deal. The S650 looks have not grown on me one bit, and IMO much like the 2013 Boss, I think the 21-23 Mach will always be one of those cars that people like no matter how old they are. Have a bunch of awards from car shows. I could afford to trade it on any number of other cars, including a Dark Horse or GT500, so this is not defending it because I have to... I just love this bad boy.

My '22 GT has a whopping 3,608 miles is also my daily and garaged. Retired as well. I know, I need to get out more 😂
With that many miles? You must drive it around the block and put it in the garage every day. I know, maybe just get two gallons of gas instead of filling every six months? 😇

Bought my 2016 used in 2017 with ~7500 miles on it. I’ve got 45,500 now. I think the 15-17 S550’s have aged better than the others. Also, that interior is baller.

I am glad I paid the extra money for the Premium package and the physical switches. I think that was the biggest difference in how the vehicle aged vs styling. My only real gripes with the car are standard Ford things, and I’m getting older. So the seating position isn’t as comfortable like it was when I bought it. I have a taller torso so long rides are getting more uncomfortable since I have to put the seat on the floor so I don’t hit the roof.

At this point, I’m holding out just another year or two to get our finances in order so I can get a Bronco. At that point it’ll return to garage queen duty and I’ll daily the Bronco.

The more i drive it the more i wish it were 80% of its current size, but still enjoy it especially on country roads.

I was thrilled about the all digital dash in my car when Ford announced it (back when they were cool and new), but now I find myself slightly missing the old[er] school dashes with analog tachs and speedometers. My dash looks great and works well, but I'm a bit worried about how it will age. Same concerns with the infotainment...

Regardless, as of right now, I feel like my '21 Mach 1 is just about the closest thing there is to the perfect overall Mustang in terms of the balance between value, reliability, performance, sound, driving experience, looks, ergonomics/comfort, practicality, and modern technology. I'm not saying it's the very best at each one of those things, but to me, it makes all the right compromises.

If I could trade it for free for any other Mustang I have seen from the past 30ish years... I would not.

Right! And I bought it new in November of 22, traded in my '16 GT with about 55k miles. Like I said, I need to get out more....WAY more! 😂

Beautiful interior. My wife's Ecoboost had that interior. Had because she no longer has it. But it's still in the family.

No problems other than replacing the LR hub & pads.
15-17 are the best looking 'modern' Mustangs IMHO.

I ordered my 21 GT/CS in June of 21 and it was delivered to my dealer in August 21. That was during the chip issues at Flatrock. I never expected to get it built that fast. Odometer is at 10,392. I only drive it in nice weather. Been out in the rain twice. So far no issues but I don't beat on it either. I previously had an 06 GT purchased new and daily driver in rain and snow. Had 114000 on it when auto trans died in Dec 2020. I didn't like the S550 when it first came out but love it now. I'm 68 and have no plans to get rid of it.

Mine has 6000km =3700 odd miles.
Im in my late 30s, i love this car but only love driving it on weekends, friends place, going for an actual drive.
I would not enjoy driving it daily to work/chores/etc, im paranoid about people opening their door on mine, plus in tight parking spots, its a pain to park, as my other cars are smaller

2020 convertible full PPF stock suspension except Eibach and gt350 sway bars driven like a taxi year round still looks and feels new at 50K miles.. Beware most upgrades are track and racing end use they are downgrades for the street unless live in utopia with glass smooth streets and low step low angle drive ways.
