Nice vid, came here after watching some of your Vette vids. Been daily driving my 04 GT for 4 years now, it has its downsides. But nothing bad compares to just being able to rip into it, whether your going for groceries or just work.
Thanks so much for checking out the channel💪🏻 04 GT was a great choice, I looked at them for a while too!
Mate, thanks for this review. I love mustangs and want to buy one. Now I know more about them. Thanks again mate
Glad you liked the video! Mustangs are a great car and I’m sure you will love it!
drove my fastback 06 GT as a daily driver from Feb 2006 to Nov 2020 when the auto trans died. First winter.. I almost slid into a tree with 1/4" snow on the ground with stock P Zero Neros. Next year bought cheap rims and snow tires for all four wheels and no issues unless steep grades. Pros: got to drive my GT everyday...almost, unless heavy snow or ice. Cons; Trans died....traded in for Explorer.
I’m learning a lot about mustang with videos like yours, it helps me think well before buying one of my dream car as my first car! Keep it up bro
Thank you ! I’m glad I was able to help!
I was your 500th subscriber. Thanks for the information!
Ayeee thank you for the sub!
I own a mustang 2016 v6. It's fast, sporty, and better on gas. The cons are high insurance and not as much room. Can't haul as much stuff as I did with my pickup truck.
That brings up a great point with insurance. Depending on your age and insurance plan insurance for a mustang can be outrageous!
I live in Utah close to the great salt lake and get many lake storms during the winter and from what ive seen as long as you're not a soccer mom/dad, doesn't matter on what you drive if you know how to drive
I've heard great things about Utah, how do you like it there?
great video my guy, i’m saving for a 15 gt. can’t wait for it
Thank you! I promise you will love your new car once you get it!
You can definitely daily a mustang in a cold climate, you just have to know what you're getting yourself into and if the cons are worth it to you. I drove a 2001 GT as my only car for over 15 years in Canada. Meaning deep slush, deep snow, ice, everything wet when it melts. Yes, you will get stuck a lot in your drive way over-night, and if you stop pulling out or into it. However, you can get around that quickly by just pouring water/boiled water where you're stuck and getting out in the morning. Just bought a 1999 GT, and going to be my only car again. And of course you gotta have a brain when driving, turning, etc. I did a 180 on a bridge once in the 01, took the turn too fast in winter. But you have to be varying levels of cautious in whatever you drive in winter. Just gotta learn the specific car in that regard.
There are not any cons , it’s one of the best mustang s around, I’m getting a 2005 mustang convertible V8 soon it has 20 inch wheels and upgraded exhaust and breaks and suspension, and knew springs , the car is lowered by an 1 inch , and has leather interior and traction control
Some of the things on the “con” list are more so just things I think people need to consider before purchasing (like gas mileage and space) I don’t think that they impact the car in a bad way tho
It sounds gorgeous
the biggest con that i can definitely agree is the gas.i can literally drop $33 in my tank and 4-5 days later i have to drop another $33 in it.I’ve looked at some video to help save gas but it doesn’t help much.but i don’t regret buying my mustang at all.
Your right. To be fair, if anyone wants a mustang usually gas isn't their biggest priority.
70$ a tank sometimes twice a week 😭🥳
I live in Arizona, I'm on my second Mustang Convertible, 96 GT & 07 GT/CS. I can drive almost 365 days (doesn't rain very much here). Some people are just not cut out to own a convertible, You are either converted or your not. Yes, it could be a daily driver, mine is not. I have always loved convertibles and always will, only a true convert would understand. First of all, I know Black is a very popular choice, it's just not practical. I don't care where you live, black is not a really good choice, sure it looks good until you touch it, or try to sit on it. You don't own a convertible for speed, or the fabric top for the way it looks, You have it to drive wide open to the world. The best position is retracted back behind the rear seat. True believers understand, others just get to watch as we go by with a smile on our face.
Loved the video, I’m going to purchase a v8 Mustang soon.
Thank you! What year are you thinking?
Tempus Levi I’d highly recommend getting a newer one with the 5.0 coyote motor
Good video bro , I love the pros and cons , I daily drive a 99 cobra . It’s at about 99,000 miles and I haven’t had any problems . I’d just say take it easy on the mods
Thanks so much Dontae! Those cobras are super sick ! Good choice!
Exactly basic bolt ons is all you need
glad it rarely ever snows in south carolina lol
i drive a 3 row suv, its a 2008 acura mdx and i get worse gas milage than the average american muscle car. a full tank is $60 and i get 17 combined mpg. its crazy to me thinking that gas is really bad in those cars when i experience the same thing in what isnt even a sports car
I own several mustangs 89’ Saleen convert, 89’ asc McLaren Mustang and 07 Shelby Gt500 convert, the biggest con I say I have is worried of someone following you to steal your car or people pulling up next to you trying to race you
Where I live all they steal is hellcats. I like oh ur cars!
i am 18 and have a 30-50 min commuted to college everyday. traffic does happen but mever tooooo bad. i drive an ecoboost now but its so lame (no sound, automatic, slow) should i get a 18-22 gt? or save my money.
I just bought a 2006 v6 mustang for my first car. Everything is in good condition, it is missing a couple little details but I got it for 5k. I get a couple of complements and overall its been pretty reliable. I have been taking it to school everyday and put about $60 of gas each week. Insurance isn’t too bad but it isn’t the best so I would imagine the v8 being more expensive.
Congrats on the new car! you got a pretty good deal!
@@CaylebPletos one thing I am gonna say about it is that in heavy rain it is a problem. I live in ga, so winter isn’t really that much of a problem but the other day there was really heavy rain and I had to make multiple stops because the back kept sliding even tho I was barely stepping on the gas.
@@fermuniz6720 be careful, the back end on those is very light and its easy to spin out
@@CaylebPletos yea I did noticed that, I did get scared a little. But other than that it drives decent on light rain.
@@CaylebPletos also did your mustang have coilovers? I’m planning on doing a couple of aesthetic mods to it and want to get rid of the big gap on the wheels, but still be able to go over speed bumps and stuff like that?
Looking for a black 07-09 mustang with a V8 and 5-sped manual. Cant wait
That’s sweet dude!
Go back to a stock tune and run regular gas, or non-ethanol if it’s available. My same car can average 23-24 on my commute (mostly highway). That’s with a V8, auto, convertible, setting the cruise at 70 and keeping my foot out of it as much as possible. Not that hard to do.
What fuel you mostly use in your GT?
We have Liberty stations in Virginia that sell non-ethanol fuel, 87 octane. I run that in everything most of the time.
@@Just_Mark you don't get like a knock or something with 87 fuel type?
GSHeverything _27: No knocks ever with non-ethanol. I don’t remember it knocking the few times I’ve run regular e10 neither. The factory tune is pretty forgiving.
@@Just_Mark thank you for this info, I might try 89 octane one day
Thanks I was considering getting one
No problem! Anything you had a question on that I didn’t cover in the video?
Cayleb Pletos no i think you answered all. I’m sorry forgetting back so late
No worries, glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Ok you have a newer model than I am looking at I was looking at a 99-04 mustang gt and I would have to drive 20-30 to school every day and back so you have an idea of how much a week of gas would be for that
You can probably expect the same gas mileage from a 99-04
You say the car is useless in the winter but you've never actually tried it 😔 Thanks for the quick pros and cons though, and very nice Mustang you got 👌
I tried it one time and I couldn’t get up my icy driveway
My 2010 gt is amazing...love driving daily
Great car!
My 13 gt @ 10.8 litres per 100 km Vs My Honda Accord ( Acura tlx I think you call it ) @ 8.2 litres per 100 km.
Not too bad!
only problem for me is gas i live in texas so there’s no snow here 💀
Lucky
Hope you guys enjoy!
If you don't use the back seats just take them out then you got a lot of space. (Different story for a convertible)
You can find back seat deletes online, however I don’t think I would do it because I used them a lot
Thx for giving this information im getting a 2019 gt soon
Congrats! I hope you enjoy your new car, the 2019 is an amazing mustang
Cayleb Pletos i guess but idk im getting my first car so idk if a mustang 2019 is good for a fist car
@@issapancho4042 my mustang was my first car and I completely enjoyed it
Cayleb Pletos oh well ill take care of it thank you love ur content btw
thanks so much!!@@issapancho4042
But how’s it compare to the Z06?
I’m gonna do a video doing pros and cons of the z I’m also gonna compare the two
This guy spits hella when he talks 😂
I spit a gnarly one during this video I didn’t notice till after hahahahha
3:18😂
Lol i am only 15 and i want to buy a mustang for my first car. But i have to work for it 🤣
I know you can do it!
I have a question I plan on a couple years getting a 2018 mustang because the price will obviously drop but my question is does the 2018 GT 5.0 have the digital speedometer on the dash
Yes the 2018 has a digital speedometer on the dash
Cayleb Pletos also, the digital interface on the 2020 mustang bullitt does the 18 gt version have that as well? Like can you Change it
Cayleb Pletos I’m looking up 2018 used Gt premium and all the photos does not have a 12inch display
Are you referring to the center console or the speedometer?
Cayleb Pletos yes
Lol I live in California and I can drive a mustang all year alone 🤞🏻
im jealous
Doesn't hurt u the gas payment?
3:18
Only downside I know of is fuel
yes, especially now that prices are so high
If at all ...
What do you mean
15… I get 14 :, )
nice
So bad that can't drive in bad weather
I mean that’s not really what this cars about
Bruuh.... lol it’s a mustang comparable to a Honda Civic
Huh?
