Took a test drive of the new Mustang eco boost at a Ford Sales event and have to say
It's a bloody good car for the money. Take away the stigma of but it's not a V8 its phonominal. Well the one I got to drive was even if it was an auto. That I admit took some of the spirit out of it but the look an feel of the car was awesome. The back seats are no place for a grown man for any length of time but you can easily fit two body's in the boot as my wife pointed out. The car is massive and although at first a bit like wow you soon get use to it surprisingly quickly. The drive position was excellent and it felt planted and well built. The radio is pretty good too although the sync 2 didn't understand my voice but got my wife's and the guy with a Scottish accent. I'm told the sync 3 is 100times better. The only let down apart from the waiting list is the fun police removed the DRL boo and linelock, oh and the electric seat slider is sooooooo slow if you need to get in the back, but never mind easy to over come at a later date I'm sure.
Ford performance have also got a number of performance upgrades available that will increase power to give the V8 a run for its money AND retain your warranty. Winning
So I ordered one manual Eco boost in magnetic with soild Matt black stripes and purple pin stripes paint and upholstery protection and life time RAA roadside assist. Capped price services come in at $300 ever 15000ks.
So the waiting list is almost 12 months however if your in the right place at the right time it appears you can get one a bit quicker. Mines due this Dec, 2016. Yeap this year and it's a my17 with sync 3
Very happy with the price although the paint protection was a little high but again its life time protection from fade and even dash cracking plus apparently I'll never have to polish it again lol not sure about that lol.
Should be fun and the wife loves it.
