Hi All,
I currently have a MK7 Fiesta ST 1.6 which i have owned for the past 4 years however I fancy a change and desperately want out of the hot hatch image. I've always wanted to get a mustang and I am now finally in a position where i could afford one. Surprisingly, insurance is cheaper on a V8 mustang than a fiesta st!
I have pretty much settled on the following:
2017-2018 (for ÂŁ145 road tax)
5.0 GT
Manual
Grabber Blue or Lightning Blue
Would love a face-lift model having done 3500 miles in the US with a 5.0 Auto however they are a fair bit out of my price range!
I have a few questions below which hopefully some of you could help me with:
Thanks All

I have a few questions below which hopefully some of you could help me with:
- Lights - Are the standard headlights any good? I would hope that they are better than the candles that the Fiesta has as standard!
- Tyres - I have been doing a bit of reading and it seems the standard Pirelli's are awful and Michelin seems to be the way forward, I'm guessing something along the lines of Michelin PS4's?
- Price - Going rate on Auto trader seems to be around ÂŁ28-29,000, values seem to have held fairly well. However, looking on WBAC to get a rough value of trade in prices they seem to be around ÂŁ24-25000. This would be the first used car i have brought, I know this is a question that only a dealer will probably be able to answer but is the much room for haggling?
- Finally, has anyone made a similar change from hot hatch to a big coupe or am i mental?
Thanks All
