NEW Ford Mustang--WHAT A CAR!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- The 2018 Ford Mustang is more than a mid-cycle refresh. This new Ford Mustang gets a new front end, including bumper, spoiler, grille, LED headlamps, lower hood and fenders. the back gets new tail lamps and rear bumper. The Mustang is no longer sold with a V6 engine, the 2.3L EcoBoost is now the base engine and the 5.0L V8 is still in the GT trim but now with 460hp, on regular gas. The bigger changes happen under the car with the old performance package becoming the new standard suspension and the addition of the Magnaride, magnetic ride control being offered on the EcoBoost and GT models. There is a new 10-speed automatic that delivers mixed results, rather good at getting the power to the rear wheels quickly but this transmission doe not feel precise. The interior can now be equipped with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster and soft-touch centre console but only on the top trim. The addition of Magnaride and a more powerful V8 makes this car a dream to drive.

Canadian Car Review

The camera quality is awesome. Also congrats on 100K.
The best review on UA-cam! Great job!
Excellent review. Interesting to hear about the 10-speed and glad you pointed out the interior trim upgrade with its caveat.
Thanks for the video AND Thanks for yesterday's Q&A.
Put the damn transmission in track mode and give it some gas. You're literally the only person I've heard complain about the 10 speed transmission. There's no delay when the pedal is down
only manual in GT. The experience you want.
Excellent as always, thanks Zack.
We just got a 2018 ecoboost 10 speed auto. We noticed the shifting when we first got it but after driving it for a while we noticed the sifting is getting better and doesn't seem to hunt for the right gear. After looking into it the transmission learns. It learns how you drive and applies that to the car, specifically the transmission. Overall the 10 speed is more responsive and just faster than the stick at least in the ecoboost and if your like us and in traffic to and from work, its a little more enjoyable than with a clutch car. If we were going to get a 5.0 there's a reason you buy one and that's the power which of course needs the clutch to get the most fun out of it. The ecoboost is a great car in its own right and a great car for someone who has never driven 400+ hp cars before and its a great sports car to learn on.
Really good review man . Wasn’t scripted as much. Great
This video really makes me want to own the car; and I’ve never been a Mustang fan.. Will have to go out for a test-drive. Great job! :)
You nailed it with the manual tranny suggestion. I drive an SVT Focus 6spd 4 banger and I have more fun driving to work than anyone else on the road.
under 4 secs ? that's supercar territory !
A great review covering the positives, the negatives, and trim levels.
Good video Bro!! // I test drove a 2018 GT this week..// what's on the video is all correct!!!
First time I heard someone criticize the new 10sp - appreciate the honesty!
Agreed. The manual is fun! I also love the wicked exhaust!
great review, I like your honesty
Thanks for this honest review especially regarding the 10-speed auto! This is actually the first review that I saw which is critical of the automatic transmission. All other UA-cam channels are hyping it without mentioning any flaws..

Could they all just be right and this guy is wrong ??
OR....is everyone wrong and just this guy is right ??
That is the question to ask yourself.
Strick nine / it's not about who is wrong or who is right, it's about making an objective review without praising every bolt of a car. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE this Mustang but for most UA-camrs everything is just "great" and "the best". The guy from motormouth seems like someone who has driven quite a few cars already and knows how a proper transmission has to behave and by sharing his unbiased opinion on UA-cam he is doing as a favor.

The other numerous positive reviews about the transmission could all have come from honest and "objective ready" minds.....Of course it most certainly IS about who has the most accurate (right) assesment about it...
Praising every nut and bolt ?
I was speaking of a certain and specific component,...The Transmission,..just as you were..And many people, while having great reviews about the car in general, cited the transmission as particularly good.
Excellent review. My 2017 GT Premium has turned my into a Mustang aficionado. BTW, I love the 6 speed AT with 3.15 gears in the 2017. Not the fastest 0-60 but I average 24 MPG at 75 MPH.
Another great review!
Like the colour,works well with the black wheels.Good looking.
Thanks for another enthusiastic review on the refreshed Mustang Zack! Clearly you love the car as much as I do my 15 performance pack 6M GT. I’m disappointed to hear the 10 speed isn’t a knock out for the car because it sure does make it fast. Touching on pricing for a moment, I’d agree that the car loaded up is quite up there in price now that it crests 60k but boy does become an amazing deal on the used market. Definitely worth buying CPO like I did. It’s a shame the best features including the softer materials are all optional. The base car feels vastly less premium than a loaded GT.
Great to see you having fun in the canyons 👍
I had the same issue with delayed shifting to the point where I wasn't sure if it was working or not. Then, I realized that there is a solid 1-1 1/2 second delay.
Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Charger all versions, all great cars...What a great time to be a muscle car fan!
U forgot the best one of all bro? CORVETTE! n on supercar note let not forget the FORD GT. If only Japan sport scene can make a comeback soon.
True
Nice review Zack. Makes me want to trade in my 16' mustang ecoboost for the 18' GT. But the prices are insane after building one with all the bells and whistles. Well over $50,000 before taxes! But ever so tempting.
excellent review and what a car indeed....! i aim to get this in 2018
Great review Zack. I wish the Magnaride was available as a true stand alone option (not requiring the performance pack selection). I am not sure I want the performance package since it would be my daily driver.
He's comparing it to an M4... wow. For a little over half the money of an M4.
Even at $50k CAD it's a great deal.
I love mine. The 10 speed is awesome as well.
Great review, and right to the point.....
The comment under the title state its makes 460HP on regular gas. Im pretty sure requires 93 octane.
You can't beat this price of $34,000 for the base manual transmission GT. I'll take a red one.
Seems you’ve got a lot of fun :D
Love mine so much!😍
Camaro looks like a pregnant roller skate
Lorenzo Maximo mustang looks like a crowd killer.
Camaro is the next crowd killer because the worse blind spots car in the world..and freakin ugly car front end..
You just got to love Mulholland Highway...🚘
I didn't know if I liked the front when I first saw it but I have to say now it looks Mean!!
haha "get the manual" best advice I never needed. great job my man and I will ALWAYS get the manual.
Looks like the new mustang finally caught up to the new camaro 😉 bout time
I love my 2018 Performance Package Mustang.
I drove the 2018 ecoboost and glad that the gear lag is a recognized thing because I almost thought its was just me for a second lol. I think I'm going to get a 2016 or 17 stang in this case. I was contemplating the camaro, but since my girl has one already I think I stick to the Mustang😁
The headlights look like a mustang mixed with a challenger or charger headlight. This thing is just thrasher hell dude.
Hell, I wake up the entire block... forget the neighborhoods with my mustang. My name is Chuck and I don't give a Fuc#!
psulse haha that’s what I’m talking about pal
Great review as always but damn those cars are so expensive now
I was confused about the prices mentioned until I realised this is motormouth CANADA haha
It def evolved from a muscle car to a sports car with that suspension upgrades. And the 10 speed auto is great for city driving. If you are on open roads yes the manual will be nice. The fully decked out GT with 10 speed auto. 12 inch display. Magnet ride, Recaro seats active exhaust option and its 52 grand for almost* similar options found the GT350
Looks like a two door fusion, I think the styling before the update to the front look great. this one looks a lil soft.
Great review! Will you be reviewing the 2018 F150?
wait so the touch screen/control center is small in the base model ?? And the only way to get that nice screen is if you get the top model ..
Does the independent rear suspension improve winter traction?
What a nice Mustang today compared to my old '74 Cobra II (in BLK and Gold, but I was living in Montreal so that was the style back then). Hmm so shooting for Mustang and Expedition on same day?
Well Zack I think I'm gonna go to Bill Patterson Ford in a few weeks for my early retirement gift, thanks for the wonderful reviews this year. 🚙🚙🚙
Get the GT perfomance pack with Magnaride, you'll be happy. Great car.
Motormouth Canada I will definitely look into it for sure.
Quality vid thx
Do the Canadian GT models redline at 6500 rpm? In all the American reviews I watched the cluster (digital or analog) shows 7500 rpm redline 🤔
Did the price of the US model go up for 2018 model. Here in Australia where it is also quite popular they have jacked it up by $4,000. It was already about $64,000 for the V8 GT here so is nudging $70,000 which I think is a fair bit higher than the US cars.
The front fascia below the headlights is just terrible. The rest of the car looks very nice. And don't listen to anyone who says they don't like an Izod cardigan. Thanks for the review.
It’s really the greatest mustang ever I really like it specially with the new front end Demmm that’s a great muscle car and every color look great on these car goooooooooood job ford 💙
its is so fantastic
I wouldn't pay extra for the active exhaust. The base exhaust sounds plenty wicked. The neighbors would just have to bear with me. I won't be long.
I like this guy!
Whenever a new Mustang comes out I don't like seeing the old one anymore.
Did you have a chance to drive the manual with the base suspension?
i have always been a mustang fan but hate the new mustang's headlights. the 2015-2017 front styling was much better.
Wow! I have rarely seen you give such a glowing review. Hopefully Ford fixes that 10 speed. So many good cars these days let down by their transmissions that cannot cash the checks the chassis and engine make
Love to see the inevitable GT vs Camaro SS comparison
LMFAO it's the same transmission in the Zl1 and raptor notthign wrong with you should go test drive one your self and make sure it's a performance pack don't always count on a damn youtuber to everything about cars
this is the 1st review of a GT 10 speed that isn't glowing about how awesome the new automatic works. I think buddy just hates automatics.
drdanimalsize can't blame him. At the end cars like this that are meant for fun need a manual. Not that cars like the Bugatti chiron isn't fun to drive but at the end it's all just meant to break a record so that rappers rap the thing in chrome or gold and drive them down Hollywood Boulevard.
Endless Roadie I'm gonna try a new 10spd GT as soon as I can. Drove an ecoboost 10spd today and it was underwhelming.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 10 speed. He drove it in an Eco-Boost, that's the problem.
I have in my GT and I love it.
Gt premium here in louisville is around 37 grand
Helluva surcharge for GT.
Its interesting that the journalists never mention that GM invented Magride and have licensed it out to Ford, Ferrari etc. It was developed by Delphi which was owned by GM.
Can you change the digital speedometer from KM to miles and vice versa?
Yes
8:05 they should have a "neighbor from hell" mode which amplifies teh volume using a p.a. system mounted on and around your garage, thru bluetooth connection, adds on echo and reverb. So a cold startup would sound like a RUSH drum solo with your head inside of a bass bin.
Zak, I've been hearing you mentioned and compared Mustang or Camaros the most. But I have rarely heard you mentioned Challengers. And I happen to like the look of challenger the most. I want to hear what you would say among these three according to acceleration, braking, safety, maneuver, quality etc. I am saving money for a good one as my next summer car. 😀
I like the styling of the Challenger too but it feels a lot bigger than the Mustang
A 2013 mustang GT premium with 20k miles is going for 20k. However no performance package on it. Ugh. I just hate that fact that they lose money so easy after a year or so.
F S yeah but keep in mind that 2013 is already 5 years old within the next month. Not to mention the poor building materials ford used when making the S197 models. After 2015, the new gen S550 mustang was completely reworked and finally brought up to date with modern technology unlike the dinosaur that was the 2013. New mustangs of this gen will be holding their value much better than previous models.
"Sir, how do you like your salmon filet?"
"Oh, it's very rewarding."
"Uh... alright."
Number one selling sports car in the world.
That car have crossed eyes
More Horsepower to plow through crowds even more!
Get a Hybrid.
@@Moondoggy1941 maybe you deserve one since you mentioned it lol
It's true what he said...quite a few Mustangs in EU now, though truth be told most with the small 4-cyl Ecobost.
Design wise I love the car...classic muscle car
Still, in 2018 a 5.0 LT V8 NA that puts out only 450bhp is a bit odd. This car weighs a lot let's remember that.
The out of production Ferrari 458 Italia had a smaller 4.5 V8 NA and it put out 570bhp ! That was like 8 years ago so...
Doest it have sensors to not hit crowds
Zak, what are the horsepower and torque numbers when 91 octane is used? thanks.
I have no idea, it isn't programmed to use premium.
the reason I asked is because on Ford.ca, it says the new Mustang produces 460hp and 420 ft-ibs when 93 octane is used
They didn't tell us that. I could be mistaken.
nickolas that sounds right. It’s says the same thing in the manual for my ST. It also listed the numbers for 91 and it wasn’t much of a difference.
spurrellz good, because I'd rather use 87 octane 😂
Can you get a better used value performer?
My build priced out at $50,300. Will take 8-10 weeks to get it.
It's great if there's a safe road ride.
Maybe Ford could talk with Chevy about how to set up the A10 trans? The ZL1 blast through it's gears quickly, nothing like what I see in this video.
Yeah I know the difference, the $70k is a better car then the $35k car, but FFS Ford made this awesome trans a slush box junk hole....well that fits the Junkstang perfectly. Good job Ford.
Auto faster than manual?! Wow!!! I'd still go with the stick. Nothing some minor mods can't fix.
Nice turn signals , to bad they will never get used .
Like a lot of things from Ford these days, it could use a well-calibrated tune aftermarket. I'm sure the new auto is the same way.
"The working-man's sports car; the car that everyone could afford to buy." Shell out that 50 grand. HRMF!
I think I'll just bolt a big turbo on a Focus ST1 and run side-by-side with the same power to weight ratio as the 45 grand Mustang GT.
I thought the ten speed was a joint venture between gm and ford
+Kevin James it is
Can someone tell me the best setup to get 500 horsepower out of my 2013 Ford Mustang V6?
ThePrettyboy23 trade it in for a v8
Nice
Did you have the car in sport mode? My 15 Mustangs transmission shifts much quicker in sport mode
Can’t access the live broadcast
I am surprised that the Mustang does not hold its value better
nickolas The GT holds its value really well, at least in Canada.
It's holding pretty damn well lately
Well its just like American women, they look great at first but quickly depreciate lolololo
Neo Racer Ha
There are just too many. Supply and demand.
Where were you driving?
Near Malibu California
thumbsUP!
"If Europeans like it it must be a good car"..."Ugh this transmision, theres a delay, I didn't like the ecoboost" lol..
guy sounded like a dick
that ferris wheel isnt creepy or anything
Sounds like you didn't like the Ecoboost/10 speed auto, which was what I was looking at. No wonder literally no one has been talking about it.
Ah give me a 1992 coupe with about 500 horse that weighs 3000 lbs 👍
nice car but so impracticable for Toronto winters.
it had 435 HP not over 440. now it has 460 HP 420 lb ft
Jacob Merrifield stop
The Bat look it up the 2015-17 had 435.
Jacob Merrifield what is this I don't even
Dude is right it was 435. If you think otherwise you're just making a fool
The looks have definitely got better with familiarity, in gun metal grey is mean as fuck.
In my dealer the ecoboost is 25,000 dollars 26 thousand in auto so why is it more expensivewhere ur at
Ayala Ayala think he’s in Canada
