Let's be honest, Rory is so good at this. I bet if he goes on leave and someone else steps in, the views will drop.
true
I only watch bc of Rory
I wonder how Top Gear would be with Rory, Jason Cammisa, and... Who would be the third?
He is why I watch
And he makes some funny noises as well
Like
Ohhhh aaaahhhh yyeeeaahh
Hahaha hahaha hahaha
That is way more convincing to being a Mustang than the original Mach-e. I sometimes still scratch my head over the marketing decision, but if there’s one benefit, is that it’s one of the best-looking crossovers on the road! I wish it was available where I live.
Rory, the main difference between you and other channels is, you genuinely enjoy yourself putting cars through their paces. I would never seriously consider a car like this, for daily transport I drive a small Kia and occasionally I rent a beast like your Mustang V8 for a long weekend but I really appreciate the way you highlighted the fun factor of this new mustang.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeees Rory!!! Another cracking review here by the Autotrader crew!!! Happy New Year to all!!!
This new front bumper fits this car way better. Great review!
Rory, you're a great salesman. I have a family of 5, so I had to sell my 2015 Mustang. I've been shopping for a new one ever since. Even looked at the Mach E up close and personal. Nope! 👎🏾 But this new GT model may be the ticket! 😎
Consider the Rsq3, the Bmw X3M, AMG GLC 63s ...
@@tahamht5756 When it's time to sign on the line, I will probably end up with a Mustang GT!
@@metallicsilver thats no family car is it?
@@tahamht5756 The Ford Mustang GT is a 400hp sports car! But it does have 2+2 seating. Those back seats are a bit cramped, even for my 8 and 5 years old sons.
Don’t waste your money on this mustang wannabe
It's that door handle that gets me. It's like having a coat hook on your fridge door
When they announced the Mach E I first assumed it would be the 'real' Mustang with electric power. I thought electric power in a muscle car would be amazing. I still say this should've been a Galaxy E, never Mustang. Nothing to do with the power train and everything to do with the body style. I'll admit to hating SUV/Softroaders though.
Facts
Most of these crossover/SUVs aren't real SUVs, and manufacturers have done poor styling with electric vehicles. Ford definitely made a mistake by naming it mustang.
Dude stfu, we done heard the same shit for a year. Come up with some other criticism... Gawd damn find some new material
I'd have been fine if they just called it the Mach-e and left the mustang name out of it. It pigeoned holed Ford if they ever wanted to make an actual Mustang electrified.
@@joeycameron4744 Not true. They will just make a low to the ground version of this which will be a Mustang Mach 1 (again). Mustang brilliant extension of name recognition for those of us who love the image but don’t want to drive a poor handling cramped lump of a vehicle.
5:13 2024 Mach E GT with OTA Performance Upgrade ..480 hp...700 ft lbs Torque...0 - 60.. 3.3 Seconds. Also comes with MAGNA RIDE DAMPING SYSTEM...Great Ride....LOVE MINE..
Hi Rory, I’m a lady and love this show,. You always make me chuckle when watching . You’re so detailed and you make it fun to watch. Love them
Thank you!
Without Rory on the thumbnail, I almost scrolled through the video and scrolled back when I realised it's autotrader.
Wait until you get your hand on a Rivian R1S or R1T. Best SUV and pick-up truck I've ever driven, by far. It has everything you want. Very quick, very comfy, very accurate, spacious, quirky, good range, off-road capability, it's all there! Definitely my car of the year.
Have you driven a mach-e? How does it compare?
@@cobracarlos Yes. The Mach-E is not as comfortable and practical as the Rivian R1S. Not mentioning the performance which is unbelievable on the Rivian. Again, the Rivian R1S is clearly THE best electric SUV I’ve ever driven, and probably will drive, as I can’t see anything beating it.
The Hummer EV is also very good though but it’s less agile and practical as the Rivian.
@@fifieuskadi And only $105,000 fully loaded! 😳
I quite like the look of the Mustang Mach E. The future is here and it's nice to know that iconic looks like the Mustang live on in the EV future.
yep hopefully can live up this legacy so I'm hopefully so
I'm sorry, instead of calling this EV SUV with "Mustang" name on it, Rather call it for Mach E, it's very freaking simple.
How stupid is the car manufacturers doing with their names?
@@Ren_1106 it’s called marketing
@@bruhwth Marketing I know that, but what about what will customers think about the name on a EV that doesn't resemble the name Mustang?
@@Ren_1106 the next mustang will be electrified anyway so they don’t care. Actually when you guys complain about this name everywhere, you are doing what the marketing team expects you to do
I understand why the purist gets mad tho
I never thought I would want an electric Mustang.. oh well I do now!
It’s not a mustang, it’s a electric CUV that’s a little quick. When will manufacturers learn slapping a classic model name on a.l car doesn’t make it a worthy successor
Yea the sentence real Mustang is a little controversial and maybe was meant to start a discussion. A real Mustang is at first a 2 door... So no pass.
A real mustang? I mean it is a mustang. So it must be real? Kinda weird seeing how some people are with their fan comments. Reminds me of all the school girls who used to argue that Boyzone were better than backstreet boys. Get a grip, the future is electric whether you agree or not.
@@Tomoyo0827 It is a Mustang. It's a fact, sorry to say. Its up to Ford to decide, whether you agree or not.
When you said ‘family thing’ I was expecting a fast and furious reference 😂
I don’t want to have fun. I want a car that has safe stable and neutral handling.
Tesla Model 3 Performance is the most fun EV on the market. Cheaper, faster, lower, even does quiet donuts with Track Mode engaged… You can fully adjust traction control and how much power goes to the front or rear motors. But if you absolutely need a crossover… sure, this may be the most playful on a track
A grand achievement was just added to the whole legacy of the mustang. it's fantastic car can i get a hell yeah.everyone in the crowds cheering.the mach e shares everything in common with the original
everyone in the crowd is cheering, until the mach E comes plowing towards them.
The rear lights I’m not so sure, but the front fascia and the car overall, YEAH!!!!
Good to hear a car reviewer calling them crossovers rather than an SUV (at least some of the time)
I think you might be the new go-to Auto review guy.
I am a 2 time Mustang owner and it doesn't inspire me to run out and get one. Honest if they had taken the Mustang name and badge off it I would only say, "good for you Ford for going electric", but not be in love or anything.
I would like to see this Ford Mach-e GT go up against the Polestar 2 BST edition 270 on the track.
That's a great amount of torque especially with AWD.
Not really my sort of vehicle but if it’s a Rory video, I watch. Well done again Rory and the AutoTrader team.
Never ever call this a real mustang again 😂
Anyways happy new year man thanks for all the good videos you’ve brought us this year
To bad you cant buy one for anywhere near MSRP. Production numbers are way to low for the demand.
I’m just happy to have grown up in the petrol/diesel era
Really really hope I win one from you this month looks great for a EV + plenty of room for the kids unlike my current little turbo petrol guzzler 🤞🤞🤞🤞
I do like the ride of the Mach E compared to the other SUVs I've tested, so can't wait to see thr GT offering. Though by comparison, wouldn't the Jaguar iPace be a close match to this? Pricing wise, the GT is on par with the HSE versions I think.
Just entered the AutoTrader competition to win this. Tell Rory he can borrow it for a weekend EV road trip video if I win 👍 And maybe we'll send it to a suspension specialist beforehand lol
That screen is a deal breaker, it's just not on, I couldn't live with such a basic lump of screen excess.
Entertaining review, but come on, the price of EV's in general (and yes, I know this is a 'Mustang' in name) has always been one of the major issues. You are basically talking £65k for a mid-size family car, which is just ridiculous. Your average car buyer will normally be looking at a car 1/3 of that price. We are in a mad, mad world right now.
It is the performance version. The equivalent model that you are referring to is about 1/3rd less in price.
When they make an electric car that's RWD with LSD-"ish" rear drive dynamics and defeatable traction control, that's when I'll consider moving away from petrol. This car gives me hope.
@ 2:21 "this thing will out-drag a Shelby GT ", Our crowd of friends thing Rory will out perform Clarkson in our era. Great show Rory.
Nailed it, again. Nice work sir. I don't even know how you do it. I'm dead silent when I'm pouring it on the road.
Great review Rory. I was waiting to hear your take on this especially since you are actually a Mustang owner and I have to say, this car is sounding more and more impressive, and this is after the fact my wife and I agreed this was on the top of the list for electric cars for the family.
Nice review, but as it's not a real sports car, afew miles off track would have been useful.
That tablet is killing the interior & the grill is odd. But looks fun. Good job Rory 👍🏾
Would like to see Rory drive the GR performance version
Question is, how does this compare to the model y performance?
I wonder what the aftermarket can do for the suspension. Two and a half tons in a performance car is a lot to cope with.
This might be the Mach E GT Performance, price-wise it is similar to the price here in the states, plus this one doesn't have the horrible looking standard GT wheels, it has the Performance Pack wheels. In terms of speed 3.7 sec rolling start is also in line with the Performance version, not the standard.
I think Ford should have given this Mach E GT a bit more power. I was expecting power closer to 600 Hp, not 450. Maybe there's an even more powerful model down the road.
These are way too heavy. I know I own one.. Fun for a 0-60 street light sprint, after that it’s slow and you feel is 5000lbs TANK weight always
I own a 2005 Acura TL and now that the car is 17 years old, some of the electronics are failing. Since the NAV, stereo, voice commands and some others are all integrated, the ability to control some of the features is becoming impossible. I would like to see some of this stuff being more modular so they can be replace individually. Also, why hasn't voice command become more advanced to where you don't need to reach for a switch or button? Great review but I would not trust Ford to support me with an electrical problem and don't even mention battery problems and replacement costs.
This car is growing on me.
No Doubt It's a Better Looking Car than any Tesla, Would be nice if it can go 400 MPGE
Am I the only one that prefers the color matched front grill instead of the black one on the gt, it looks so much cleaner and more sleek
Nice one Rory!
👍👍👍👍 Great review..... This is the Tesla Killer that the world is talking about, correct?
Definitely not a Tesla killer.
I like the Mach-E GT. I don’t like it’s price tag though. I’d rather go buy the much better looking Hyundai Ionic 5 than spend a fortune on an electric Ford
It's not like either car is a good looking.
Ioniq 5 is an odd looking car....so is the Mach E but in a sort of good way.
You could for real walk on to the filming of a show such as "Top Gear, and take someone's spot without any feeling like they are missing anything. This is a fantastic gig too, but not quite on the level of productions that cost $7 million per episode lol.
Ooooh nice ! I'm literally drooling Rory. ✌❤ Bob.
I’m so confused about the ride quality of the Mach-E GT…most reviewers acknowledge how firm/stiff the Model Y is and that the GT’s adaptive dampers are so much more compliant, but then I run across reviews like this, and a few others, who talk about the poor rebound characteristics of the dampers on the Mach-E. Maybe these two observations aren’t mutually exclusive, but it seems to be a dichotomy on the surface.
Yup does it bobble your head less than other suvs if they were driven like this?that’s what reviewers need to address
A good start to the year, Rory. Happy NY mate 🤟
I'm still getting over that fact that there's a mustang SUV/CUV
Glad that I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition anyway.
A good review and in that colour it looks good but Lando has nothing to worry about
The best car reviewer out there by far
Mach-e sound like a great name for an electric Mustang
They didn't spend all that money creating demand for SUV's over decades to waste it, now.
Biggest problem with all the EV vehicles in general is there SUV shaped. It's not sporty or good looking. Until that change happens car people won't be attracted. Even the BMW i4M50 while more car than cross over still looks lumpy.
Do they Not have ? Or simply Don't dileniate the Performance Pkge ?
Would like to watch you driving Tesla plaid.
Loved the car, but when I drove it, it just didn't deliver, too lumpy in it's suspension.
Great Vid as always,,, Thanks Rory and Co. for letting us have a chance to win one of these... can I choose the colour?
Would be interested to see a Shelby version, I imagine it's inevitable that they'll make one with performance just above an entry level Lucid while undercutting it by $5k or so.
Awesome video.
Not sure who this is aimed at! I'm thinking the old bill would not be a fan!.
Rory you're always evergreen..
He never mentioned that it was the Performance Edition. That said, Im suprised the Magnaride wasnt pleasant on the track.
How can you have a rolling start from 0 to 60?
"According to InsideEVs, Mach-E sales are down a whopping 46.5% year over year.".......this was a stupid idea.....and its the design. do you think corvettes are so popular just because of their performance? nope. this was a stupid idea.
How can you do a 0 to 60 with a rolling start? Rolling implies you are going faster then 0.
After this SUV came out I rebadged my wifes Pathfinder. Its a 350Z Mallfinder Edition now.
This looks the business, which I didn't think when I saw the original.
Happy New Year Rory 👍
You need to go to a car meeting and see how many people you can run over after losing the back to see if its a real mustang
That skid at the beggining, just shows how out off balance it is.
Love the review.... But its not a Sports Car and mostly the Mach E GT is realistically over £70,000.... I'm waiting to see the other options in 2022... Maybe the EV6 GT?
Nice Ford Kuga, what is that rear though
The design is better and those wheels are great. Is there an i4 review??
Love this guy
Is the Performance package Standard over there ? Or just not available ?
The Mach e GT performance has magna ride suspension.
Which is the one he is testing / interesting his comment on the suspension. I have the Mach E GT non performance and the suspension is “bouncy” like other Mach E’s - simply put, the suspension struggles with the extreme weight…
Finishing the year with the wild !
What you'll show in 2022 ?
Rory the test is would you bur one. I mean really buy one
Suspension is too hard. I personally prefer my family cars to be comfy. So probably not.. -RR
He calls it a Mucky, lol, fitting I think.
Would you say this competes with the Porsche Taycan Cross-Turismo , the way a Mustang GT-350 competes with a Porsche 911 GT3?
Fab Fun in a Fast Ford.
Hand on heart, what would you have, a V8 or the mach e
V8 any day
V8 to enjoy now. But in the long term, Mach e, because whether in 5 years, 10 years or 20 years time, I can enjoy some Mustang flavour, while “true Mustangs” either become outlawed or are more expensive to run than an M3 is to buy.
@@magnustan841 Well being 60 yrs old I'd imagine v8s will be available for my driving time pity the young ones will miss out mind second hand ice will be around a long time yet
@@stevewalsh-balshaw1727 I’m only 20, but I have time for electric cars and the possibilities they can offer, cause the tech is still so new. It’s only been 10 years since the first Nissan Leaf made electric cars useable by the masses. I love my combustion engines, but I’ve learnt not to cling to them too much, be sad about their gradual decline, or try to blame someone for the decline, like a lot of people online. They are only making themselves miserable over something for which they have no control. I’m going to keep enjoying my cars, ICE or not, cause I love cars full stop.
@@magnustan841 Can't disagree with you there but for me personally I'll be sticking to my ice for as long as I can I just love the sound and involvement of ICE
So, how fast was it when you launched it?
it starts to go south for me when they make it weigh in at 2 tonnes... that seems like a lot... it had better hv some seroius battery tech otherwise itsnotfunanymore
yep.
I love my Mustang Mach-e gt it’s so much fun
another PAID FOR comment. its a piece of shit.
Does it slide into crowds though?
You are my favourite auto reviewer.- you are witty and always to the point.
900lbs heavier than a Model Y Perf. And no wonder it skids so easy, look at how thin those tyres are. Probably 210s or less.
My wife and I make good money we own our house in a good area of London, But would i want to finance what I feel would be a good house in France or Italy as a second holiday home for an electric car at that basic price? I could get second hand even for half the price a decent motor home and travel all of Europe for the cost of a camp site for say 15 Euros a night, 65k is a lot of money even for me.
It's growing on me
Great video. What track is this?
