Had the same thought when it happened in the video. I bet he’d even prefer the regular Premium seats over the Recaro.Kind of disappointed that he knocked off points for comfort and features because the car had Recaros instead of the standard seats which he said he would prefer.
Doug is probably the best car reviewer on YouTube (sorry Matt! You’re a close second, though ).I was surprised at myself. I actually liked this guys review. Pretty straight forward, and I actually learned where to put the owners manual.
One thing I see he missed was the PP1 package on the car. If he would have took a little more time he would have known why this car rode a bit more harsh.
And, I do wish he wouldn't have been so happy with the car while driving. I have an '06 GT that I really enjoy, and now he's got me thinking to much. I'm fairly sure the wife would give me "The Look" if I told her I want one. Her's just turned 200 miles, and I know she just wouldn't understand. :shrug:
Wrong.Not worth $50K.
Love Doug's reviews. He is the right combination of knowledgeable, quirky(funny), and serious.
Yeah, GT with a 401A and another option or two will get you there. Although if you spec out a similar German car we are probably looking at 75-100K.I was pricing out on the Ford site and the 5.0 GT starts at $35k. Maybe he meant premium Mustang GT? I do love that digital dash tho, I would get that just buy the PP2 wheels off American Muscle once its available.
My 2016 401 Premium GT PP with one of the fancy leather stitching trim packages I paid $34.5K for prior to tax. I don't have Recaro (huge mistake) or the auto cruise control feature set but have everything else. Don't remember my MSRP right now but if I can get the same discount off of a PP2, okay... maybe. But a PP2 is not worth more than $40K to me. PP1 Magnaride with Recaro I'd pay $36-37K tops.Mustang GT. 301A manual PP1 $42K msrp. For $34.500 simple
He's right, IMO. My car, at 38K, has wearing-through leather on the driver seat. And I have the fancy leather package. My 90K Toyota Camry's seats looked BRAND NEW. Literally could not tell the difference between the driver and passenger seat where the butt farts. You're right on the BMW interiors - I find them to be unimpressive and to get the good stuff you have to pay a ridiculous price.He knocked down the interior as being too plasticy. I do not agree with that because my GT certainly does not feel cheap. I have zero rattles and squeaks and the interior seems upscale. If anything, I was actually disappointed with the 2016 BMW X5 I drove for about a week. That things dashboard and seats truly had crappy interior. The dashboard looked like elephant skin with its bumps or whatever design they had. The seats were not leather but this leatherette which for a $65K did not seem fair. The seats felt worse in feel than my GT. Go figure.
