Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.
Yuri your shirts are wack and cool at the same time
Yuri just got married and is way too comfortable with that shirt. LoL 😁
You're too kind and just honest enough at the same time
You guys have great chemistry. That's something most car review channels don't have.
Literally, no one will ever unsub even you just cut the audio completely. Great review!
Dude I came for the cam angles, stayed for engine sound
Quiet mode is definitely a nice feature. Could have used that on my BMW. Ended up putting in a quieter exhaust because it woke the dead every cold start.
radmods what bmw do you have?
Its still loud despite the name
bmws are not that loud tho ... what is the exact model and stock exhaust or no?
Corvette had active exhaust like 10 years ago and I loved the idea. Really wanted to adapt something to my older cars but the mufflers are typically huge to make it work. The aftermarket has come out with some stuff but I can't find much video on any of them and they are quite expensive to gamble on.
Same with a 71’ GTO
Only reason I sticked and listened to that (Really)Hard) Drive ad was because you threw it. Best AD.
That shit got me dead asff😂
Please do a review on the GT350R
Ford Canada, hook it up!
TheStraightPipes Can’t wait for the GT350RS
And a regular GT350. Everyone reviews the R. Do both :D
Careful with all those crowds boys.
Your sinned since to deny
Hahahaha so funny hahahahahahahahahs
Enough already
ShiftingLanes don't worry, no crowds gathering around this car. Sooo boring.
@@lapamful that's not even what he meant.
You guys are the Canadian Top Gear.
You mean The Grand Tour... top gear now blows.
With 99% less skits
More than that
Better than Top Gear!
For sure
Their new mode should be called, "Crowd Control".
Traction control off, automatic emergency braking w/pedestrian detection also turned off
Fat
Or be called "Population control "
No one care about the Mustang GT where I live!!
Infinity Boy what do they care about
This is officially my default car channel on UA-cam. You guys rock...
There is an in between for the traction control, if you press the button it is mostly off. To fully turn it off you have to hold the brake and hold it for 10 seconds.
I love that exhaust sound
When yuri starts driving and the camera starts to zoom in showcasing his mind getting blown away ...priceless!
"I have never met a considerate Mustang owner... have you?!"
LMAO! This is so true!
Or pick up driver.
Camaros? Harley owners? Brodozers? Maybe same people own them all? Then there's the loud Subarus... Wait I owned a loud Subaru
you haven't met my dad. but it's a shelby so idk if it still counts lol
My fiance' she is extremely considerate!
or a considerate smoker either. It's because Mustangs are so impractical that the only reason you'd get one is because it's cool, but for any other logical reason.
Thanks for the USD conversion!
I just started watching these guys. They are so engaging and enthusiastic. By far the most entertaining auto reviewers, and pretty damn informative. I never had so much fun watching a pair of auto journalists drive and picking apart a car.
Thanks!
My dad just got the GT 5.0 but in a coupe version in dark blue. I LOVE IT.
I loved it when you went for the normal tests and each one of you picked a different one.
Bought the 2019 hard top with all the features this had. Holy fuck it's powerful on another level to anything I have ever driven.
@Jim Thompson I love it. Now i'm super into washing her every couple of days with a nice electric PW from HD and learning touchless detailing.
That Royal Crimson color is one of my favorite parts of the 2018 Mustang. It looks so nice in the sun!
Still my favorite car reviewers out there. You guys are crack level of addictive.
Oh my God, that Yuri zoom was hilarious!!
I'm glad you guys are including the US price lately! That's very helpful.
This is my favorite mustang yet. What a nice new look. My brother is a Ford engineer and I'm very proud of him
IMHO the 2018 mustangs look so much more mean and badass🖤
The rear end does, not sure about the droopy front end though...
Jakub's face going through the tunnel 10/10
😁
Enjoyed the comments about the various display settings, I know this video is 3 yrs old, but I am looking for a pre owned car so this is great, nice video work!
I am a Camaro guy BUT this is the first Mustang I actually think looks good. THat backend is so nice, and the front end just makes it sleek through the air.
Great video and that exhaust is WOW. I feel for y'all as well, filming in a convertible is a nightmare in terms of getting good audio. Keep up the good work!
Mad props on proper pronunciation of magnetorheological fluid.
Us Canadians on average, are very well educated and can read and speak very well.
I love your guys’ videos so much. You are so gifted and do such a great job. Thank you for your awesome work and service. You’re such a blessing. God bless you guys and your family.
Dudes, it is effing snowing in Edmonton - Hawaiian shirts and drop tops hurt our feelings
Lol yeah it's 28C here, lots of boats on the river! Never seen that in Mid-September when growing up!
Ouch. Sorry
This can't be more Canadian! 😎
Also like how you put your sponsors in without sounding like a commercial as so many others do!
2015 PP GT in yellow owner here: love the optional gauges, active exhaust and magnaride but I prefer the looks of my year. The nicer materials on the doors and center console would be nice to have and that extra power. The 3.73 gears of the performance pack help the low end. The new clutch/flywheel would great too.
I added the Roush axleback exhaust to mine and the sound is perfect. Just like sport mode on the new active exhaust.
If you can find one used like I did, the depreciation lends to killer deals.
"I'd take the Miata,..." Yuri, I'm weeping. I've never felt so happy, I want to have your baby.
Then again, the exhaust note, the pin you into the seat stuff, ... that has to be a real thrill. It's been
something like 40 years since I drove a car with a V8. Your reviews are always smile inducing.
Miata cup car exhaust solves everything
"I buy all my cars based on exhaust."
I feel you, Jakub
Triple spokes look amazing tbo. Reminds me of my old self in high school with my red SUNFIRE GT! I`ll see myself out.....
I was surprised to hear you guys dis the colour, I was sitting here watching the video and thinking about how good it looked. While it's not the colour I would pick if I was buying a new Mustang, I still really like Royal Crimson. It certainly looks better than Magnetic...i.e. the same metallic grey as every 4th vehicle on the road today.
Watching this again 2 years after release. Still LOVIN IT.
Good observation about the toggle switches re: ease of access Jakub. I always spent a couple seconds looking for it during emergency situations!
Yeah always need to know where it is
Double tab the traction button fast for sport mode stability control.
What! Really?!
Now you have to review it again to confirm! Haha!
Yep, former 2015 gt pp owner who just got a new Gt350. Besides the preset modes that adjust all attributes together, you can press the traction button once to eliminate traction control only (stability on), double tap twice quickly for sport stability mode or hold for 10ish seconds for full off. Keep in mind you have to start each manipulation from full on mode, meaning you can’t go from traction control off to sport mode with a double tap, have to turn it back on with another single tap, then whatever you’d like from there.
Jessica Batey my goodness
Proof you have to go out of your way to run into crowds. Learn just enough to be dangerous.
That color looks great! Surprised how much I love it.
Just to clear the air on the best selling muscle car thingy.... it absolutely is! Sells well nearly all over the world :) Great video guys! You earned a SUB
Holy cow that color is amazing.
That coyote 5.0 is a beast of an engine
I literally love you guys so much, funny, honest, legit car reviews really in depth, love it!!
By far the best reviews in the world love you guys cheers from Mexico 🤙🏻
I have a 2018 mustang and I’m honestly such a huge fan of it!! It’s amazing (only an ecoboost) but still amazing!
Rico Sauvelone it feels amazing as a daily, I’m modifying it to the point of 350 HP and well whatever he torque is after that haha, already at 350 LB-FT
how much cheaper in CAD?
Such a good looking car
You get brembos in the front and rear. The rear is just not marked and only single pot. Also point to note, brembo supplies all the brakes for all mustang.
Tach in 2019+ can switch off the rpm and show gear position.
I just bought a Honda Clarity because of your review, but now I want to buy a Mustang...dam it!
Love that exhaust sound
When did u comment on it bro! It shows me that 3 days ago
@@kiranmainerella7611 LOL,it was commented 3 days ago.Maybe he got a link to the video
BEAST'S AWAKE He is a Patreon supporter so he gets early access.
We have the definitive proof that time travel exists! 🤣
Who doesn't?
I think the color is so dope, you guys need to trend up cuz!
This car is so fun to drive. Fun to drive slow and fast always puts a smile on my face
This is me complaining right now and you love it
Heh, you mentioned you like complaints, but I don't have any. I really liked your custom Ford auto mitt, and of course all of the regular tests and subscriptions breaks. So entertaining!
"I have never met a considerate mustang owner" C'MON, MAAAANNNN
Damn you guys! I was wondering if the 18 was better than my 17 Saleen Mustang. Now I’m convinced if I test drive one, I will dislike mine after. Thanks for another honest review.
The car looks so good in that colour.
I take it, but as a coupe and the stripes must be white, and Yuris shirt must be in the deal too ;) since I will never comfortably fit in a Miata, and drive Ford at the moment anyway, this is perfect. The power is insane, you cant even drive it without computer aid, and the exaust needs quiet mode or the guy next door kills you - so over the top!
Personally think the 18 and up look way better than the 15-17
The mustang has improved every year since 2010 when it got an actual suspension under it.
"Keep complaining; we love hearing it." 😂
I agree huge improvements on the 18-23 S550s. I owned a 2015 GT and now a 2021 GT and the 2021
Felt substantially better overall.
Good review boys.. thought I was watching an episode of Letterkenny. Your the first ones to mention the hood heat it ain't no joke. I have a Whipple Gen 5 on my 18 and it doesn't matter how big the inner cooler is if the housing is 400 degrees. Review a coupe/auto. That Miata will fade into your Molson memory. Drive a Lebanon Ford in Cincinnati $40k 800 hp car if you can still cross the border. The tall dude is skeetchy..
Dat subtle zoom in on Yuri’s face as he subtly begins to smile when sending it for the first time. Haha perfect!
Mustangs have always had some of the exhaust notes in any automobile period!! Great review of the 2018 Ford Mustang GT Convertible!!👍🇺🇸
I drive mine in advance track. Turns everything off. Never have I ever gone sideways and loss control. You need a brain and some decent driving skill and you are fine. The mustang is a very balanced car, and it inspires much more confidence than my wrx ever did.
Review an M5 or M550 (G30). You guys would nail it.
Guys, I'm in the southeast U.S. My S550 is black. I can drive it hard for an hour when it's so hot you could cook an egg on the road. Afterwards I can park it pop the hood, raise it, and latch it no problem. It's really not that bad.
Huge thanks for adding the conversion for your friends south of the border!!!!
I love that front end so much, I used to be on the fence but I love it now
My favorite color in person. Royal crimson I believe?
The burgundy color looks really good
Sheeeeeeeet, I giggled like a little girl upon hearing that opening growl. I'd be happy just replaying that part alone. Big thumbs up.
When I was car shopping I was excited to try out a Mustang. I didn't even go on a test drive, after sitting in the thing I was so disappointed with the interior quality I walked away. Ended up with an M240i instead.
Should’ve drove one
I know I am super late to this video, but Yuri throwing the hard drive out of the car is the best thing ever. I laughed so hard.
Very refreshing car review, fun to watch and yet informative. Great job guys, really enjoyed watching this.
That smile
It says it all
This color is so fucking dope. Reminds me of the Opal 350z.
I love your guys' chemistry.
The ‘18 coyote actually has more displacement. It’s over 5 liters (rounded down) compared to being rounded up like the older one.
2015-17 coyote = 4951cc
2018-19 coyote = 5083cc
David M Why does that matter ? The engine is pretty light and is naturally aspirated
👌great video guys,watching you guys all the way from SOUTH AFRICA 🌍
The first new car I bought when I was 20 was a 99 Cobra. A yr later traded it in on a 00 civic Si. That car was amazing . Not long ago I bought a white 98 Cobra with black interior. That car was pretty awesome. The 96 -98 Cobras will be worthy collectables in the near future. Side note, my 99 Cobra new, was 32k$. They've literally doubled in price.
Did you buy a 2017 or earlier Mustang? Are you upset over all the new 2018 changes?

TheStraightPipes Love your content guys!! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹!!
Not really...
I bought a exec used grabber blue premium GT. No way in hell I'd get the same deal with a 2018. For me the biggest changes is more horsepower, better transmission & clutch, electronic gauges and the active exhaust. It just wasn't worth the crazy jump in price. Maybe I should have waited a year for a exec/demo used mustang, but it just wasn't possible. I'm super happy with my rare mustang, plus I avoid the issues with the new engine.
Yeah, I bought a 2016 2-1/2 years ago and I still love it. BUT, I am sad it's not a 2018. There little updates are so nice. The low end power is pretty weak in the 2016, and there's a nasty little power Plato from curve dip from 3800-4200 that really bugs me. Overall it's still an awesome car and I'm not too upset!
I have a 2002 Mustang GT Premium Convertible. Now I regret not waiting 16 years, thanks a lot guys
I bought a used 2015 GT and I'm not sad at all. Don't like the looks of the 18 at all, and the fact that a loaded GT hits Corvette territory is absolute crap. I got my 2015 GT for 27k, around 30k out the door, good luck ever finding this new droopy-faced pony for that price.
I leave the house at 5:30 every morning, so I would definitely use the quiet start feature, but that’s probably why I drive a Hyundai and not a Mustang lol.
Hopefully the Mustang will see their new OHV V8 configuration. They have the new OHV 7.3L V8 coming soon, which would be awesome like it is, but even a smaller displacement would be awesome, and it needs to make its way into the Mustang.
That's a truck engine. In this regulatory environment you will not see a car with a smaller DOHC motor revert to a larger, OHV configuration.
Not going to be a 7.3 v8
Doctor Ferdinand Why would the regulatory environment stop them from using an OHV configuration?? You do realize every competing V8 car from the other American manufacturers is OHV, right? And that OHV is actually more efficient in theory and reality, scoring lowing CO2 emissions and better MPG on the CAFE cycle, right?
Doctor Ferdinand When done correctly, OHV engines are cheaper, simpler, smaller, lighter, stronger, have fewer moving parts, and actually have lower emissions and better fuel efficiency. The only reason bigger displacement OHV is not as popular and why downsizing is taking over is because idiots have too many misconceptions about engine displacement. Regulation have nothing to do with this. Not only is this new OHV engine going to have more displacement than outgoing OHC 6.2L and OHC 6.8L, it's expected to be more efficient, too.
Rumor has it the next mustang gt will be a 5.2 cpc.
You guys have to get your hands on the 2019 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance Pack Level 2
Dude! Those LaCie hard drives are over $600!
Guys please review the lc500.......
Call the lexus in Canada and ask them to give these 2 the car.
If enough call, they'll prollly do it
Driven the LC500, in my opinion the car is way too heavy and slow. For the price of that heavy metal I rather get something else. Not worth the review
@@ArmedTheAsians it's a grand tourer not a sports car it's luxurious but peppy
I have the same options on my 2018 except the color and the convertible top.... I wish the dealer could have found me one to my liking in Royal Crimson!
Good point you raise about the hazard light switch. Maybe if the tip was red-coloured it would improve visibility
When you have a car for a bit you don't need shift lights, exact rpm or even a tach. You drive by sound and pull. Had a 92 civic hatch cx with muffler, air intake, plugs, wires and a planed head and after a few days never hit the limiter much after. Unless I was dusting a 305 camaros until 160 kph and trying to keep revs for 4th. It would do 220 in 4th and start dropping in 5th. Lotta fun
Happy with my 2016 GT convertible. Added 20 HP with Roush intake and tune. Next is Ford Performance axle back exhaust. Bought my 2016 one owner with 21k miles for 36 grand. In sport+ mode it really blasts. I couldn't justify 58 grand on a new 2022 GT convertible. I would have had to trade my 22k mile 2010 grabber blue GT500 and that ain't happening. Now 540 HP to 435 HP you can really feel in the seat of your pants. 435 to 460 HP not a big jump and really a few tweaks to a 2015 to 2017 puts you near or over what a 2018 to 2022 has in HP. If you want the real deal get a Mach 1.
Awesome ! I was waiting for this car !!
I remember driving my dads not too long ago. I put in in track cuz... you know... track lol. After watching this video and realizing it turned every traction safety feature off, I’m thankful I never put it in a ditch on that rainy day. 😂
Use the track mode for the slight traction control off that you guys talked about, in track mode it does not turn off all of the traction control
Here in Vancouver, Mustangs are among the slowest cars on the road. The four vehicles I avoid getting behind are buses, dump trucks, cement mixers, and Mustangs. I think it's mostly older people that buy Mustangs here, out of nostalgia, and then are afraid to touch the gas pedal.
I’m a BMW guy but this new Mustang GT changed my perception. It may not be as refined as Germans but this car is the greatest value you will find in its class. For a weekend fun I’d spend $45k and save $40k instead of an M4 convertible.
Bullit ( the movie )is a Classic! Geeks!
Performance Pack II wheels look even better!
