They do seem to pick and choose comparisons to the detriment of the Mustang. Comparing the price of the Mustang to the 420i should be a point towards the former but instead they talk about the weight. Surely the 435i's would be a better comparison which is 80kg more than the 420i and thus not...

Bit of a mixed review this but includes a quick comparison between the PP and non-PP car.
I think a lot of that might come from expectation and perception. The US press are used to testing Mustangs so they can compare the new one directly to the previous generations. The UK press on the other hand always view American cars as being great in a straight line but not much else, so for...
The car will brake for you though. As an example in my dad's Mondeo with just standard CC, if you set the speed to say 50mph and you start driving down a slope, the car will brake to maintain the speed, and you can physically feel the brake being applied under your foot! And it's also why ACC...
For proper overtaking, I agree. It's more if you want to get to the speed you intended to go at where the car in front might not allow you to. Not necessarily overtaking as such. Again it really depends on what the road situation is. There are some good videos out there showing exactly how ACC...
I'm not sure you quite understood me. If you're in stop/start traffic, or on a busy highway where traffic will be changing speed from say 50mph down to 25mph regularly as an example, ACC isn't needed because you're likely to be constantly accelerating/decelerating and changing gears. However, as...
I can only tell you from experience but I realise everyone is different. In my case, it actually made me more alert because whilst I knew my car would adjust its speed accordingly to the car in front, you never know what they can do so my foot was always at the ready to intervene.
I think some...
It doesn't encourage you to be less attentive. You still have to be aware what's in front off you. If anything, it's somewhat of a safety measure because you set your car to be a certain (safe) distance behind a car so if they do something stupid, you have plenty of time to react. It beats...
I'm not sure I understand you. The whole point of cruise control is so that you don't constantly have to accelerate/decelerate on the freeway and to just cruise along comfortably. You seem to like that which is fine so why would you not like ACC which takes that idea even further!
If you...
It adapts to the speed of the car in front of you, it has nothing to do with shifting gears. You are still in control of that.
Using ACC, you set the speed you want to travel at and the gap to the car in front of you. If the car in front of you slows down, or someone gets in front of you, the...
That confused me as well. I wonder if part of the delay in getting the Mustang to Europe is due to them waiting for the 10 speed automatic to be ready.
