Last night I was able to pick up my Mustang and I absolutely love it. The car itself is absolutely stunning I am so glad that I chose this colour.
The drive:
The exhaust of the car isn't too bad for stock, you can certainly hear it from inside the cabin but the sound is still to quiet for my tastes. The steering is very tight and there is limited play.
The Mustang is a WIDE car, which can get rather interesting especially on smaller two lane roads. This will take a little getting used to but I'm sure I will manage.
The bonnet is huge, you are kind of guessing where the front of the car ends and it certainly looks like it lifts when driving along, I'm not sure where it should but its something I will check with other owners.
The suspension:
Its sports suspension so it isn't very kind when going over bumps but it rides and sits nice and low to the ground. I personally don't think I will be lowering the car but I'm sure many others will.
The transmission:
Very notchy, I am looking forward to my MGW swap, but it still drove very nice.
How it looks:
I have driven supercars around the streets of Melbourne (Ferrari's, a Lamborghini and an Audi R8) but none of them cars got the attention that this mustang gets. I had a few people lean out of there cars to take a picture. One guy even got out of his car at the traffic lights to have a walk around. People stop and stare, which is something quite new to me!
However my car caused an accident last night, a guy was reversing in his Landcruiser and caught a glimpse of the Mustang, he continued to reverse whilst staring at the car and end up hitting another car....Maybe I should have a safety warning? :shrug:
The interior
The seats fit me perfectly which is great, it almost feels like the seat was made for me so thanks Ford. The clutch disengage point is a little to high for me but I will have to adjust the seat and the steering wheel to ensure I don't keep hitting the steering column.
I am not a fan of the steering wheel, I feel like the leather is too loose and it could do with some extra padding but that will be one of my first mods.
The cup holder placement, isn't too bad until I tried to drive with a drink bottle there. Then it was extremely annoying.
So here are some pictures.
