    The button to release the trunk on the outside is over the rear license plate between the plate lights. It’s low but it’s there! Also that spare tire is optional.

    My golf bag fits fine in the trunk, though I have to remove the two or three longest clubs from the bag and lay them separately in the trunk. I had to remove the long clubs to get them in the trunk of my previous vehicle, so it's something I was already used to doing. And I would say there is room for a second bag, as long as neither bag is particularly large. Trunk is amazingly useful for this type of vehicle.

      Newer muscle cars shouldn't be your first car especially if you're financing it. On this car alone even though it's new, first time car owners fail to service their cars regular

    • @jordanking6939
      @jordanking6939 4 роки тому +4

      @@johnballs I can tell you by experience financing a new car isn't a good idea knowing it'll depreciate (cost more paying it off overtime). For first car owners, buy a decent used car, pay for it cash, service the car regularly, own it for at least 3 years, and save up buying a nicer car. It cost expensive maintaining a new car and first time car owners neglect basic maintenance. Scotty Kilmer has a good channel on why buying used reliable cars that last. If you're a new driver or have a not so good driving record, sport cars aren't good since your insurance rates will spike. Mustangs or sport cars period aren't good commuter vehicles

      100 Rental Cars I think someone has the Need For Speed bug. Hahaha. When it comes to BHP I actually prefer cars that can utilize 90% of their Horse Power. I love to ring their necks. Haha. To Me it is such a waste to have all that extra BHP that in 3 seconds you’re at speed limit and only used a small percentage of horsepower. I love the sounds of a nice engine and it’s addicting to want to rev it and waste fuel. Or Red Light Race and keep getting tickets. I use to have all the hot racy cars that would spin out of control and no traction in the winter. But the lower Horsepower cars that had some road feel were the ones I loved driving.

    I’ve been considering buying one so I rented one of these in Florida and drove across the State from Tampa to West Palm Beach. It is noisy, not in a good way. If you accelerate hard there is a weird low frequency rumble like a pickup truck. At speed, you hear gear noises, tire whine and wind. When you accelerate, there is a noticeable delay when power kicks in - and then it is overwhelming. Fine for accelerating from stoplights but a little unsettling if you are trying to scoot through a gap in traffic. The car is fun and reasonably comfortable. I’d still consider buying one but I’d definitely get the GT for more even and controllable torque delivery and I would assume the fastback is a bit quieter.

    OK folks.. The honest truth. I own a 2016 Mustang Premium Convertible with Ecoboost. Had some initial warranty problems and a dealer which screwed up the electrical system, but after $10,000 in repairs, most covered under warranty, it's fixed. That said, it's lame in the sound department. I'm a 62 year old muscle car owner of the 70's and although my car looks great, I'm selling it for the GT. Got to have my V8 rumble..

    • @100RentalCars
      @100RentalCars  4 роки тому +1

      I'd probably go Wrangler for the city. I'd hate to see the Mustang get scratches and dings from parking it. Just be careful, they don't do well turning at high speeds. So be careful!

    • @jordanking6939
      @jordanking6939 4 роки тому

      @S D I think the things to consider buying a car is why are you buying it. I enjoyed the Jeep Wrangler because every tourist was driving a Mustang convertible. When I rented the Mustang, I was in Los Angeles during the summer and I enjoyed the back roads throughout Southern California.
      I think one rule of thumb if you're a first time car buyer that if you had a license less than 5 years, your insurance is going to be up there especially when a Mustang is considered a sports car. Financing a vehicle requires drivers to have full insurance, so your insurance will be pretty high. The maintenance needs to be kept up and Mustangs are prone to reliability issues especially the delicate driveshaft on the non V8 Mustangs. Mustang like other pony cars are big, bulky, and have poor handling. I myself don't like getting in and out of them.
      Jeep Wrangler has similar issues but unlike the Mustang, you can buy a used one several years old, and the tech is very similar. The upside that I rented a Wrangler with sporty trim (no fancy tech, infotainment, etc), so it was fun in that sense. The Pentastar V6 has descent power.
      My conclusion that any sports car you'll buy will tempt you to drive over the speed limit, SUV's are still bulky. Even though the Mustang Ecoboost is a 4 cylinder, it does 0-60 in 5 seconds which isn't slow.
      If you live in Southern California and like beaches, Ford Mustang, live out in the country, Jeep Wrangler, if you're an muscle car enthusiasts, V8 Mustang, if you were me, 2020 Honda Civic coupe. Raiti Rides reviewed a black one recently, it's low emission, sporty in a sense, cheap to maintain, and handles better. You can buy a 10 year old Civic coupe and you'll get a sense of sporty feel.

    Nice review. I bought one a few weeks ago. I should mention that when you put the car in Sport mode ("S" on the gear shift lever), it will continue to shift automatically but with more precision; if you tap the accelerator coming out of a corner, it'll downshift). Once you use the paddles in S, it'll stay in manual mode.
    Anyway, I'm loving mine. Thanks for a good review.
