2021 Mach 1 Reviews Compilation

[Atlas1]

I was really trying hard to figure out her credibility. She says she owns a 350R but then struggles with LC? You’d think she’d want to test a manual but maybe an automatic was all that she could find. Seemed to be looking for nit picky things to criticize about the Mach but then gives it a 9 out of 10 in pretty much every category including value. But then her video graphics show 8’s. Yes, we get it, says more than once she wouldn’t trade her 350R for a M1. Not sure many people would! Oh well, another video to kill time I guess.

I haven’t watched the video yet but I wonder if her 350r is actually her husbands Ive seen gun review videos where at first you think damn a chick talking about guns! Only to realize they don’t have a clue and someone probably a husband/boyfriend is giving them key words to say knowing it will get more clicks than if he made the video himself

I bet she'd beat most of you guys, be it on a dragstrip or track "Her husband, Paul Fix, is a professional Trans-Am Series driver."

Funny note: "Her daughter is Shelby Fix"

They clearly like Mustangs when they have both GT350R and GT500.

The seemingful mix up of line-lock and launch control is funny, though. She didn't do a timed burnout, that was just a standard launch with automatic.

Quality a 9.... Let me laugh a bit

Yeah, I think we all believe our cars perform pretty well but not sure we can all say the same about build quality LOL!

I believe she meant US competion or in the same price range which I'd agree on. S550 came a long way and the interiour materials are far from bad. The German luxury cars are really not in the same price league. Price of loaded M4, C 63 or RS5 is like double that of loaded Mach 1, of course money shows there on quality of materials and fitment. I actually like that Mustangs are affordable sports cars for middle-class and not just rich people. Function over quality and here it shows tremendously. As good handling, better looks, much better sounds. Any high level BMW or Audi looks almost the same as the cheapest model, only Porsche is an exclusion here, but even more overpriced (hourly rate for service work is a laughter for any of those).

Don't necessarily equate Porsche with high quality. I rented a brand new 2017 911 Turbo a couple years ago and the first thing I noticed (aside from the rock hard seats and incredible acceleration) was the squeaking and creaking coming from the interior door trim. My old college roommate works for Audi USA, which is the VW / Audi / Porsche conglomerate. He says don't equate MSRP with quality - on similar platforms the only difference between brands is profit margin and available options. All built by the same workers on the same assembly line, and inspected by the same inspectors.

Must have been Monday or Friday car I think I'm squaking-deaf or the VW-family cars I had were just that good, I never noticed this. What I do notice in the Passat now is loud noise from worn out 2011 Michelin tyres on 17" rims I just bought, really terrible, but that has an easy fix

I admit that the Germans clearly pay a lot of money on R&D and it's money well spent. And it's good to know it's not always nice and shiny even though the reviews mostly praise them really high. I'll go with the soul and heart rather then technical finesse and nice polishing.

Hey, you take possession of yours yet? Would love to hear about Czech people's reactions to this.

@Bit_the_Bullitt Nope, still waiting for build date.

Would have like to see them do a non-HP Mach 1 with auto, particularly against the non-CFHP GT500.
