“There’s a my little Boomer on the front.” These are the lines that have kept me an RCR fan for so long
I watched his 2003 toyota tacoma review and its something else. I highly recommend it.
Damn that's great. This is one of those lines I'm gonna remember for a looooong time
That was definitely one of the best lines he's ever made
Holy hell I couldn't stop laughing 😂
Agreed
This is the third time you've mentioned probe. You're contractually obligated to review one now.
Preferably a first gen.
My first car was a v6 lx probe
1990 Probe GT with a 5 speed. I loved mine. Sold it to a friend and bought a Taurus SHO. He was still driving the Probe with no issues by the time I dumped the SHO for being nothing but problems.
Colin Eliot after crashing my 90 probe (16 year old idiot) I just narrowly missed a 95 gt five speed with 20k miles on it, 25 years later I still can’t get over it
2nd gen would be cooler though, cause the design feels more unique.
I had a 94 GT 5spd. Very good driving car. I had people asking what it was all the time.
RegularCars: "Hey, Ford could you stop spitting on our intelligence"
Ford: Mustang is electric SUV.
And it doesn't even look like a Mustang… Meanwhile over in the UK we have the Kuga with Kanye West's bastardised version of 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson! What on earth is a Kuga anyway, at least with the 1960's Mercury Cougar it was a thinking man Mustang, a cool looking car. I am getting old…
Must dash I going to play the original 21st Century Schizoid Man in my car on full blast to see if some youngster comes up to me and says "What's that s@*% yer playin? Kanye's original version is so much better. Why are you running over my foot?
@ALSO-RAN ! I guess it kinda looks cool tho and they claimed it to be faster than most mustangs, but that is a weird concept by Ford! It doesn't make sense at all but I would be just fine if it is the Ford Focus who got that changes to being a electric crossover type of vehicle.
Tbh I would have been totally onboard for a balls to the wall, performance EV mustang in 2020. Technology is there, just expensive. Make it the electric sports car no one else has done right.
But no, they made a crossover.
He was talking about tricking fragile egos. Mustang Electric SUV isn't tricking small dick guys. If it has fake V8 noises, then it is spitting on your intelligence.
@stirange The marketing campaign betrays what the manufacturer thinks of our intelligence, which justifiably affects our faith in their product.
"Dual-Exhaust doesn't make sense" It does when they can use one bumper mold for each trim lol
While that is true plenty of car companies are using single or dual cutout bumpers regardless of exhaust, they just tend to make those cutouts a little more subtle.
Great point actually, why spend an additional $200k on tooling a piece for customers who buy the base model?
@@off_mah_lawn2074 You spend the money on tooling for a single exit rear bumper because then there is $20 less exhaust pipe on each 4 cylinder car. But no, the stylists and marketing people got their way this time on the Ecoboost Mustang.
Can’t remember which car I saw it on, but it had twin exhaust pipes, but one wasn’t connected to anything!
@@stephen3164 Maybe the newer Camry's? I swear I see those with dual two-pipe exhausts but one of the two pipes looks like it doesn't even go into the muffler

Takes me back to the memory of putting three 4L60Es in my Trooper. In the span of as many weeks. Because they’re fucking glass.
A ‘My Little Boomer’ on the front 😂
Is this a Mustang or a set of Bose headphones? ANC in a car maybe not such a bad idea but exhaust sounds on a little boomer? lulz
This was the best new thing iv learned this year
bro that got me too. I'm calling all Mustang emblems "My Little Boomer"s.
i fucking lost it with that line
My Little Boomer: Pension is Magic
gold watch, amish beard, 80s engineer glasses, Dont Tread On Me, 2010s mustang. Weird aesthetic
Doesn't that, in a lot of ways, embody the ecoboost mustang? Red chunky american muscle with a 4cyl and a turbo? that's a werid combo in and of itself. Just you wait, this unique individual's gonna upgrade to one of those electric suv mustangs as soon as they're available, lol.
Fake gold watch lmao

Asks anyone if they going to steam and power show, but there are airplane engines on test platforms, that are trailers, but you sched a sesh on forthnight, with your new skins, but you just act interested, let them talk louder as you walk away for that textbook "blow-off" example, and the worse that can happen, they will try again.
"This car has resale value. Now and forever."
I had a 4 cylinder Mustang from the early 90s. I eventually sold it (running) for $5.
Yea, I always thought resale value was based on the strength of reliability and availability. Mustang NEVER represented that imho. Their mid to late 80s GT was the automotive equivalent to the death of Superman comic.
The car you’re talking about prob has 65hp max. This has 300.
@@ToobxSox no wonder he sold it for $5. that thing is so much of a turd, a prius can beat that thing
Now that it's 2021 everything has good resale value! :D :) :\ :((
"My little boomer", you realize you have singlehandedly killed the mustang bros now and forever?

@@joshuachandra6677 My little boomer, displacement is magic!
@@sofielee4122 more like disappointment....
I will buy a brown Mustang and play Roman's song as i am leaving Cars and Coffee, which i attended because my color is rare.
Dont worry, Ford did it themselves by slapping "my little boomer" on an electric crossover
Man that dual exhaust comment on the wrx hit me out of nowhere. It really is true, and to be honest, I thought my 2006 sti sounded better than my 2008.
I liked 04 sti the most. The newer they get, the worse they get. Go test drive a 2020 subi, they're cutting corners and shaving options
Cutting corners in an economy car? Say it ain't so!
@@mbclk65amg since when was the wrx an economy car lol r you mad? 😂
yeah that's why i always plan to get a single tip if i ever swap the exhaust on mine. at least they split it at the end, not at the cat.
The sound change has more to do with changing to equal length headers. But yeah older ones sound better.
I love the ecoboost, best handling of the bunch and still hits 60 in 5 seconds, really doesn't look too shabby either.
This car is an affront to my manliness,I'm going to watch "Predator" six times in a row to replenish it.
haha oh man
As opposed to this rcr video, the predator offers an increase in manliness, but no noticable decreases in quotable one-liners.
"But there's a My Little Boomer on the front..." Nothing like a 'Stang to bring out the eloquence/bile in RC. The is the best piece they've done in a while.
Meh, these reviews have sucked since the Westfalia garbage...RCR is trying to make their "brand" more accessible to the Doug Demuros of the world.
That line really made the moment
@@assoonaspastablepizza8135 the youtube censors have also gotten stricter since the beginning of RCR. I imagine that comes into play from time to time.
Couldn't agree more

That little engine is impressive. Let it sing its own tunes on its own terms.

Ugh gross
This engine sounds like greasy buttcrack with its stupid headifold design. Nothing you do will ever make it sound good, which is unfortunate because its mazda 2.3 cousin sounds fantastic.
V6 is cheaper and sounds better though
@@sakariaskarlsson634 there's a reason it's cheaper, because it's also slower...

We just want our RWD turbo 4 PROOOOBE
Johnalogue I’d love to see the Probe make a comeback!
But it's true!
We didn't know what we had with that thing. If the 86 could come back, why not the Probe? I'm not holding my breath in the short term, with all of the Americans moving away from sedans and hatchbacks, but if the crossover trend passes, who knows? Actually, I could see it coming back BECAUSE they don't have sedans or hatches of their own anymore. Let's say that people start buying regular cars (no relation) again, and Ford decides to get back in the game. They'll either have to engineer a platform from scratch, adapt a crossover platform, or partner with somebody and use their platform until they could come up one of their own. Maybe they'd patch things up with Mazda to make a Taurus based on the Mazda6, and make a new Probe based on the platform as well.
"This, the year of our Ford, 2020"
I may have woken up my entire neighborhood, laughing at that 😂
Ford's in his flivver, all's right with the world.
Happiness has got to be paid for, but a gramme is better than a damn, eh?
"Don't Tread On Me" vis a $650 a month car payment at 8%. I like to be free so that I can take on monumental debt.
Who tf is paying 8% and $650 a month on a sub 30k car??? Is your credit score 380 or something?!
Either that or you're an asylee who hasn't gotten a reply from USCIS yet... And you live in Miami to top it all off.
I'm trying to rack up as much debt as I can before I die. You can't take it with you.
"For the guy who pays for all his shirts and underwear in the electronic section", that's just awfully relatable
For countries where the tax is based on the car's displacement, this I4 Mustang makes sense if you want an American car but you want less tax.
I've personally seen an Corvette Z06 in Malaysia and was shocked when I see the roadtax for that car, its MYR 12000 (USD 2,809.43). That's one of the reason why you don't see a lot of high displacement cars on the road unless you're someone who can buy a Rolls Royce or two Ferarris.
Or Sultan of Johor/Selangor. They are possibly the only people that get away with PDRM speeding tickets.
would a z06 even be worthwhile on malaysian roads? id imagine with the high humidity (and prices) a lightweight convertible would be way more enjoyable.
its like the incredibly rare occasion here in the uk when you see someone has imported a challenger, sure it looks cool but its completely useless on our roads.
@@ReplicantBattyman Basically this, one of the reason american sports car is as rare as winter atop mountain peak in the east/south east asia is arguably has to do with their roads and taxes.
tbh just stick with the 5.0, a mustang without a coyote isn't a mustang. Only buy a mustang if you're filthy rich at least in Malaysia. Road tax, fuel prices, maintenance, speeding tickets, and our retarded import tax makes buying a mustang not worth it.
@@ReplicantBattyman I think it's only for bragging rights since you have one of few examples in Malaysia.
Most town roads are bad but once you're on the highway, you're good but you need to make sure your car can handle the Malaysian heat. There are a few cases where Ferraris and Lamborghinis caught fire here.
P.s. I spotted an old El Camino when I was in college. So yeah, it's for bragging rights.
The exit song sounded like my shiny teeth and me
It's definitely that.
As a former FC RX-7 owner, that dual exhaust comment hit me hard.
The "no step on snek" front plate really drove home the "No really I'm a manly American man!" of the whole thing.

@@marvintpandroid2213 Which would be fine if the stereotypes weren't incompatible. Unless that's the look he's going for - clueless.
Tbh, I had one of these 4 years ago and it's one of my favorite cars even if not the most practical. It was fun to drive as a daily driver, had an ample amount of room in the trunk, and didn't have terrible gas mileage -- not to mention the power to weight ratio was pretty neat. Yeah, I sometimes miss it.
When I worked for FoMoCo back in 2013-2016, I really enjoyed the 2.3 Ecoboost. I especially preferred the Ecoboost Performance pack with Recaro seats as an option! Worth to find.
Why does everyone make a big deal about the i4 and V6 mustang wasn’t the OG mustang a 170 cubic inch i6
Yep
Or a 289 v8 which was also a dog
And everyone including Carol Shelby hated that engine
Yep
@@cathat9622 yeah
These are criminally underrated cars. I’ve had a few as rentals, and they are phenomenal to drive. But when I started shopping for a new ride for at home, I couldn’t fathom buying one. The ecoboost mustang is like a 120 pound Rottweiler, you love going to your friends house and playing with it, but you’re glad you’re not the one that has to pick up it’s horse sized dumps when you go for a walk.
I came for a normal, slightly boring but gets the job done, car review.
I found a masterpiece.
You found a turd tbh
That’s mr. Regular for you
Only seen one of these(very expensive here in Scandinavia), my neighbor just bought one. He uses it to drive to his yoga classes.
This seems very Scandinavian to me
Back in '97, I drove a car with engine sounds pumped in through the speakers...just not intentionally. It was a 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham sedan. It had a V8, and I think it had something to do with poor insulation somewhere in the electrical system, since you could hear this popping that increased with revs. I thought it was kinda neat at the time.
My old 1.1 Peugeot 205 with a Facebook marketplace single DIN stereo did something similar. Push throttle speaker go weeeeeEEEEE
that happens in my 09' fiesta if you select aux in the stereo with no cable plugged. Funny as hell weeeeeEEEEEE -shift- weeeeeeeEEEEE

That "Shiny Teeth and Me" cover was perfect!
So that’s what that was! I almost had an aneurysm flipping through the files of my childhood trying to remember what that was.
100% satisfying and 100% not what I expected. Thank you RCR. Your thoughts are always enjoyable
The first time I heard about engine noises being played through interior speakers, I thought it was a joke.
Is that a Chip Skylark-based song at the end? Man "My Shiny Teeth and Me" brings back so many memories, thanks Roman, bless you 🙏🏻
My little Boomer. Lmfao. It even has the "Don't step on Snek!" on the front
The driver even looks like he's cosplaying as a boomer
"For the guy who pays for shirts and underwear in the electronic section"

This is one of the best reviews yet and I've been watching for years! Thanks for the hard work fellas!
As always very well said my friend, I've been a subscriber for years now, this is probably the second time I comment on one of your videos and although I am a mustang Ford man I leave this one not because of the subject at hand, but because of you regular car reviews, the kind of guys that when the world makes you feel like you don't fit in our belong, those guys remind you that that's ok there's nothing wrong with that, and because of that I remain a loyal viewer. Thank you guys.
They’re fast, comfortable, economical and good looking. It is a perfect daily driver
Why go for lighter engine, that makes really good power, good mpg, cheaper to insure, and looks the exact same?
Exactly why I bought it.
Cuz it will never sound like a 5.0. That is one big reason. But I’m all about turbo’s as well.
Because the 5 liter has more torque. I want to feel like I got yanked by the car when I step on the gas
I think the review he did a few years back of a gt actually is pretty applicable. It's the illogical, but emotional choice. Same reason dodge keeps selling objectively worse challengers.
Doesn't sound like a V8 and it doesn't make the same power.
lol, i own one of these, and i genuinely love it, it's a second car next to my Ranger Wildtrak, and in South Africa they are not as common as they are in the States, so it's a nice little run around, i look at it as being more of a modern Capri
Yeah just don't act like it's a GT. You know damn well this is a modern Capri and that's fine. Keep on rollin.
that's a cool way of looking at it
Lol ive never seen a Capri but from pictures ive seen of them I can see it
@@jamesprice2163 while you're at it, check out the South African Only Ford Capri Perana V8....it was a track demon back in it's day!
That's v true in terms of looks - I had a Capri in the 80s, it looked like a sports car but it was as slow as a hearse, try to go round corners quickly and you'd need one (a hearse). The Mustang 2.3T is a quick and nimble sports car, all sensible people who have driven one realise how great it is. Not as quick as the Focus RS, but a million times better looking, and as much power as you will ever need in the real world. Very clever and witty review tho....I like!
I had a 2019 for a couple weeks as a rental. The little 4 banger was surprisingly quick. People forget mustangs pre 2010 had 300 or less horsepower. This thing has 310.
Exactly!! This car will mop the floor with stock 5.0 Fox body's and SN95's.
you just got yourself a new subscriber, this was hands down the best car review I’ve seen.
"This is CORRECT wheel drive... that's a plus".... Well said Mr. Regular, well said!
I've seen these in Belfast and assumed they were all the eco-boost models, saw one with a 5.0 badge and boggled at the idea of buying American amounts of petrol/gas at European prices.
iT's NoT aN EnGiNe It'S a LiFeSTyLe
Not to mention the tax and insurance costs for a engine that size.
Not worth it in Europe. I don’t know how people afford the drive the high displacement German luxury cars either.
@@556m4 its not really expensive in germany, except the fuel.
@@556m4 They're a bit expensive, but even the high displacement engines are usually overengineered with cylinder shutdown, fancy injection, VVT and VVC, a million gears etc. so that they're not all too thirsty, especially cruising on the Autobahn.
The maintenance is the real killer here. Complexity has it's price.
Great review Mr. Regular, I like that you did a relatively modern regular car that your average person would look to buy. You kept it real, and honest, and did not spend unnecessary length of time talking about the mundane points of the car that no one cares about, but the joy of driving it, the appeal, and is it a good car or not. I know you do not do the typical new car reviews, but if you could keep this model of good used, achievable car reviews, combined with the traditional humor, i think that would be great.
"my little boomer" is the best line I've heard from RCR since "1911's little boo hoo brother"

"No step on snek"
Please no steppy
That plate has to be a part of the gag. I feel that if you are the type of person that has such a plate, you wouldn't be seen dead in an EB Mustang
Pennsylvania: The official state of front plates having _never_ been a thing, but everybody having front plate holders installed anyway just so they can mount a novelty placeholder plate in it.
“Fuck Around And Find Out”
People went completely nuts and even some said it was the first one. It's crazy how many people forgot about the Foxbody 4-Banger 'stanger
I've been watching rcr for so long and it keeps delivering. Thank you the roman and Mr regular. I've been watching since I was about 17 or 18 and I've finally been able to buy one of my dream cars. I'm just excited about it and I think about the influence this channel had on my decision. Thanks guys.
I feel like Mr. Regular is finally growing up. I'm proud of him. (I'm also a total Mustang fanboy, but even I laughed at "my little boomer".)
Strongly considering buying one of these. Thank you for confirming what I already wanted to be true: It's a good car.
Had an eco for over half a year now, thing is awesome.
I was always so curious about this car. Great review. You also inspired me to start my UA-cam channel. Very uplifting. Thank you for that.
God I don’t know what I love bout your reviews, your voice, the metaphors, the way you explain your point of view .But does it hits close to home. Every review just feels special like you got know the car you give us it’s history why it’s special or what ever but you just have this amazing knowledge of cars and their place in culture. You make me feel like I’m experiencing the cars like if they where a person ... that’s it you personify the car as a being or an extension of the personality attracted to the certain car. I’m probably just high what y’all think?
EcoBoost Stang is the american Silvia we never wanted but always needed.
Ford Ecoboost Mustang Premium: The official car of MANBUN MAYHEM.
A car review with social commentary! I dig it.
I am impressed by the numbers that engine puts out for a 4 cyl. I poke fun at my friend's 6cyl Mustang, but I am genuinely interested in the EcoBoost model.
Also, I have to say that the aesthetics of a dual exhaust appeals to me, whether or not it's actually functional. Something about the symmetry that makes me appreciate it more.
"My little boomer on the front" - thank you for giving me a full belly laugh this morning.
"My little boomer" holy shit that's genius
That "my shiny teeth and me" song remix at the end was such a nostalgia trip. Thanks Roman!
this is one of the best videos youve done in a while, :)
Mr Regular Car Review woke up on the wrong side of the bed when he recorded this. And yet I agree with his comment. I love how he is turning into an old man that complains about shit with genuine disdain right before our eyes!
Love the "shiny teeth" cover at the end Roman
One of the best reviews in a while
I'm almost 100% sure that the ending song is to the tune of My Shiny Teeth and Me. Legendary work Roman
I remember doing a certification/inspection on one of these that got traded in at the Toyota dealership I work at and I was really impressed with it.

Damn Mr Regular, pulling no punches on this one right from the beginning. Flaming hot take that I mostly agree with.

Except the European capri was too long and narrow to be really good in twisty bits.

I used to have one of these. Throw on a tuna and a CAI and it completely changed the cars damenor. The turbo can make 22psi of boost at 2300rpm reliably and the CAI working with the stock blow off valve gives you all the turbo sounds you could ever dream of. Loved this car.
I just came up to your channel, you guys look like you are amish mafia, I was laughing the entire time, so fresh and yet so smart, I subscribed right away.

Seems like a true Tsundere: aggressive on the outside but kinda sweet if you get to know her.
It's the Taiga Aisaka of American coupes.
Holy moly this episode is like christmas and easter together!
That last part is exactly what I said when I rented an EcoBoost convertible for a week. I took it up to Big Bear along 330 and back down on 18, drove along the Angeles Crest, took 74 up San Jacinto and into the desert, I had an absolute blast. It handled those constant tight turns incredibly well. I couldn't get the rear end to kick out unless I really, really tried, so I could power out of corners. 300hp, 310lbft of torque or thereabouts, was perfect.
