All,
Given we can't order the Mustang yet in the UK (and no dates have been released) I've started getting impatient and considering alternatives. I wanted to ask this group for their views on how a new 5.0 GT PP stacks up against a 1 year old 6.3 C63 AMG.
The Mustang GT is expected to launch at c. £35k in the UK – while the Mercedes is available at that price immediately (for a used car with less than 10,000 miles on the clock).
The Mercedes has a more powerful engine (457bhp), nicer interior trim and probably a higher quality fit and finish. It also seems to be more practical (real back seats, larger trunk). Not sure how parts / servicing costs will work out given the Mustang is a new car to the country, but I’d guess the Merc is going to be more expensive.
The Mustang will be much more exclusive here, and more of an iconic car. The C-class body shape is very common here, so outside of the driving experience it won't feel like anything special.
Has anyone driven both cars? Which is faster / more fun? How do they compare?
Thanks!
