more unfiltered comments from the back seat. “It feels
like we’re going a million miles an hour!”While not quite a
million miles an hour, it does sound and feel fast. That’s the
funny thing about this car it gives you the feeling of speed
without actually speeding. The illusion of power could be
a result of the nose pitching up under acceleration.
There are some nifty features on this car. The speedometer labeled as “Groundspeed,” the puddle lights that
are the Mustang logo and then there is Ford’s Sync system. Sync is by far the easiest of any touchscreen system
that I’ve used. It has simple on screen navigation of the
menu system and a clear display help to keep your eyes
on the road. One down side is, as in any sports car, stabilizing your hand to accurately use the touchscreen can be
challenging.
Now what? It is a typical modern Mustang GT. Like
previous Mustang GTs it is good at most things you look
for in a performance car but it’s not great at any of them.
That’s what brings me to my conflicted choice every few
years. Yes, this generation Mustang is a nice car but what
other, better performance cars can I get for the $45,885
price tag?
So no Mustang for me…yet.
