If they didn't add the extra £17k worth of options to the S5, price would be about the same as the Mustang tested, or just £4k more expensive, and they could have made a more fair comparison I think.Once again though a car £20k more than the Mustang compared to it. You can have a Mustang and Focus for the price of the S5
Without options is still £7k cheaper and most of the S5 options are standard on the Mustang.If they didn't add the extra £17k worth of options to the S5, price would be about the same as the Mustang tested, or just £4k more expensive, and they could have made a more fair comparison I think.
Had some quotes that made me chuckle though: "In the S5, the infotainment benchmark is Apple IOS; in the Ford, it's a Sega Dreamcast."
So thankful for thatThe Mustang is well behind in interior quality but that is why it is cheaper.
Basing on RRP yep i agree but some pretty hefty discounts on the new S5, at least 15% off list, i imagine even more. Mustangs generally aren't discounted anywhere near that level. Yes there are some options that will hike the sticker price up to silly amounts but Audi know there are people out there that will spend that on an Audi particularly an RS or S model. I am not so sure Ford can squeeze much more out of customers for a Mustang than they currently do without a major overhaul of the cabin.Once again though a car £20k more than the Mustang compared to it.

Me too mate, i was describing Sync 3 on a BMW forum, i could only come up with a comparison to a Fisher Price activity centre, the Apple to Sega is a much better description!Had some quotes that made me chuckle though: "In the S5, the infotainment benchmark is Apple IOS; in the Ford, it's a Sega Dreamcast."
Agreed, for me the Mustangs interior is decent(ish), its not bad BUT it could be better for not a lot more money IMO.Without options is still £7k cheaper and most of the S5 options are standard on the Mustang.
