Ford Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost (A) Review
20 Jun 2018  |  Ford Reviews
The Ford Mustang is a muscle car that will turn heads wherever you go, but it will break your neck if you don't treat it with respect.

hate the 4 banger

Review
Mustang comes with 2 variants for the asian market, the 2.3L and 5.0L options. This review is on the 5.0L GT.

Comfort:
Unlike the super luxury cars that are made to "Kiss the ground", stock fitted mustang comes at a reasonable height for ladies in dresses to crawl into. Seats are fitted with cooling and heating systems but I remain skeptical on its durability given that our local climate will only require the cool lights and not the red.

Reliability
It is too early to judge its durability i would suppose any car that survives its purpose with no major issues are considered reliable rides. Been through more than 2200km on the Mustang and I must say it does not come with the most environmental friendly engine. Grab the best rebate/discount card you can get for savings will only come at the pump and not the paddle. 95 is the daily diet, 93 will result in health issues.

Handling
On par with supercars, the monster comes with 5 modes. Normal, Slippery, Sports, Sports+ and Racetrack. To be very honest, i can tell the differences but would like to caution that the wide bonnet is something to take extra caution about when entering tight lanes. The brakes are very sensitive so you got to be very careful when braking from speeds (above 120km/hr).

Overtaking is a walk in the park with its highly responsive engine. Though stating the obvious, the 5.0L engine has no issues overtaking road hulks like long vehicles. Most cars struggle to push from 120-140km/hr but mustang does it with minimal effort.

Exterior styling
No doubt the best in the market for its range. The exterior makeover from the past was a 10/10.

Interior design
Aside from the row of airplane-like switches, the interior is pretty much similar to Lexus (in my opinion). Luxurious yet sporty, well balanced.

If you are renting a mustang in "Ang mo" Countries, more likely that not you will be expecting the 5.0L GT which will also mean its comes with GPS so save yourself some money by a un-checking the GPS option so you do not pay $20-$30 more per day for something that is embedded on the dashboard.

This car is a straight road specialist, an attention seeker anywhere yet quiet on the inside.

What I like
Responsive engine
Stability at 150km/hr
Sensitive brakes
GT and 5.0 emblem on the boot and side respectively
Floor lights (horse logo)
Photogenic exterior
Boot is good for 2 x large luggage. at least 1 soft casing. 2 hard cased luggage may not fit in.

What I do not like
Airplane switch hazard lights are very tough to get accustomed to
Side mirror capture can be improved
Lack of led signals on side mirrors
Noise insulation in the car means you need to be a spectator to hear the horse roar

Review
I have the very rare opportunity to drive a Mustang convertible in the US last Nov. It came as a surprise and I still think of the car once in a while.

What I like
While Mustang is no big a deal in the US, it s a big deal driving one in Singapore. What more, not many can boast that he has driven one before. 300+Bph is definitely a plus. Despite being a two door convertible, it can sit 4 very comfortably. With its top open, you can still store your day's shopping bags in the booth.

What I do not like
The buttons are a little confusing but I guess it takes time to get used to. I had problem opening and closing the hood. The US version has heated seats which I am not sure if this option is available in Singapore, which I hope not.
