2015 Mustang Ecoboost
- Thread starter
- #1
Well the local dealer has their first 15 in stock. Its a magnetic ecoboost automatic with no other features. I currently drive a 2013 Fusion Titanium AWD. I have never been interested in a mustang before. When I first saw the 15 the front reminded me of the fusion and overall I liked the looks of it so I have been following it since. Today I finally got to spend some time with one in person. So after about 30 minutes with one, what does a non mustang guy who has never considered a mustang before think?
I GOT TO HAVE ONE!
The car is beautiful in person. I actually really liked the magnetic color. Seeing the mustang and the Fusion right near each other, the similarities go away. The mustang is much more aggressive and just overall a much better looking car. And this from someone who thinks the Fusion if one of the best looking sedans on the market.
The interior, WOW. And this was the base model. Very good quality. Laid out well. Good room up front. The back seats while comfortable, there is ZERO headroom. I am 5'10" and was hitting my head on the rear window, I needed to hunch over a little. But that was expected. 90% of the time I drive its just me, 5% of the time one other passenger. I rarely have both kids or the whole family in the car (got teenagers so you know how that is).
Driving wise I was shocked at how much visibility there is. I actually felt like I was higher up than in my fusion. I only took down a main street and then a few winding hilly roads. It handled very well and had nice pickup. Similar power to my 09 Maxima, but much tighter handling. It was a fun 15 mins behind the wheel.
I told my wife she was lucky it was a base model or I might have driven it home. I think I am sold. I was thinking about the Performance Pack, but HATE the black wheels and after driving this I am not sure I would need it. An extra 2K and wheels I don't like. I could always upgrade some things if I really felt I needed it.
Very nicely done Ford. My dad has been a mustang guy for years and I never got it. I guess he owned like a 65 or 67 convertible and sold it when we were kids, still holds it against us I think, lol. He has been saying for years he wants a new one and still has not pulled the trigger. I just called him and said I might beat you to the punch.
So thinking a 15 is somewhere in my future. I have zero patience, so might be sooner than later. I am hoping I can hold off until spring so I can use the AWD fusion for the winter and wont have to deal with that again till next year as this would be a daily driver.
Anyway cool car.:ford:
