to say this new version of the mustang is the best I've seen...would be an understatement..

Hi....and welcome back to
like the new sign? lol we do too!
This car has dramatically improved. even from the prowess of its previous versions, in all aspects as far as I'm concerned.
Let's start with the outside.
The completely redesigned body style shines light on Ford's new ideal of staying relevant with the times, completely updating the look and performance of the infamous pony car. The 2015 rendition comes equipped with a independent rear suspension, allowing it to produce a much more "tame" and "refined" ride with a lot less outside noise in the process. (excluding the engine of course).
Speaking of which....there are now three of them. Starting at the entry level, There is of course the tried and true 300hp V6. (down 5hp from last year's model, yes, but the standard features more than make up for it)
Then there is the new "star" engine of the show, if you will. The turbocharged 310hp 4 cylinder ecoboost engine. This variant simply screams out the fusion of power and efficiency. While it may fall short of the traditional 8cyl thrill. It does provide what the V6 mustang just didn't have in the past. More power WITH more fuel economy. Sure the straight 6 was and yet remains strong, but said engine is only strong as long as it had fuel to consume....Lol in the ecoboost, you are afforded more fun at a lower fuel cost...
As a current V6 mustang owner, the ecoboost version of this car intrigues me. A lot.
And last but never least, we have the "ol faithful" of the bunch. The overpowered and highly sought after 435hp V8 engine. Or the 5.0 (five-oh) as its most popularly called. And even tho, its not known for exceptional fuel economy.... Its just plain fun.
Let's get to the Inside!!
Where all the other tech lies!
Now, the Premium models of the Ecoboost and the GT come with some perks that simply just were not available on the mustangs of the past. Unfortunately the V6 model does not receive such love, begin redistricted to the base models only. These premium models come with upgrades like, heated and cooled seats (lined with leather of course), the MyFord Touch infotainment system with or without navigation (which has also received some updates for increased touch sensitivity and accuracy), Blind spot Monitoring, Parking Sensors, Back-Up Camera, Multiple driving modes, all with a completely redesigned interior and my personal favorite...an external trunk release button..(call me petty but I think its cool lol). This is the kind of technology that was formerly foreign to the Mustang
What's that? How do they drive you ask?
I cant describe it really....the Ecoboost is okay...the GT is in a different classification altogether
