First driving reviews just went up.

Best central place I've seen @ http://www.mustang6g.com

Looks like Ford did a bang up job with this new gen.

[Year's_End]

Look at the thread right next to this one bud!

Good work ford, hopefully they make another boss and drop some weight.

No doubt this car will make more expensive cars look like civics in terms of performance.

[Genericuser1]

The weight is a good bit more than I had hoped.

[Lucky13]

Wow, no faster than a 320 hp i6 M235 with 435 hp V8. I call that pretty embarrassing and 15 mpg to boot and that's progress!

[ASAP]

Christ... 3841 lbs.

No wonder it only did 112 in the 1/4.

Find me a new M235i for $32,100 and then you've got a good point.

Also, the M235i got a whopping 19 MPG (on premium) in the same test that the Mustang gets 15 MPG (on regular).

PORKER.

[ShocknAwe]

Everything looks great except for that WEIGHT! Looks like Ford lied on that again. I dunno, still good power for the money, especially considering it looks like they built the chassis/susp properly this time.

Once the first production vehicles are out to the public, I give it one week and people will have this car in the 10's. One month later, there will be cars in the 9's in the 1/4.

[BLK235iNJ]

Please send me a link to an actual car that I can buy for 32k. All the cars in my area are 42k and up.

thanks

The GT starts at $32,100, don't know what to tell you on that end. www.ford.com. Every Ford dealer in the country will order you one.

I give about a week before it gets recalled or one spontaneously catches on fire!

You drive a BMW, which are definitely not known for reliability. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

[BLK235iNJ]

Thats the base model... they are hard to find.

IMO i still rather spend the 10k more for the BMW. I have a 13 Mustang (been through the hype before) and there is NO comparison to the my m235i.

The 2015... I'm sure it's a better car than it predecessor not sure if its caught up to brands like BMW/Mercedes/etc...

Also keep in mind the depreciation factor between a ford and a bmw. You save 10gs today but in the end your paying for it somewhere.

Are you really saying that BMW depreciates slower than the ford? Have you seen used M5 prices lately?

the m5 is poor example. nearly every car over $100k suffers from huge depreciation. you can pick up a DB9 for less than $40k!

[G-Mann]

I would have been surprised if the reviews were not favorable. One of the reviews had the as tested price at 45k, that is right at m235i cost and not as feature rich (I would like to have the cooled seat option).

Ride and handeling looks to be favorable and performance numbers look to be pretty much flat. The coyote engine is a wonderful engine and responds very well to mods. Forced Induced versions are going to be pretty damn interesting.

40K plus is too much to spend on a mustang IMO, unless specialty model, they will be a dime a dozen in a couple years and discounted very heavily screwing the resale value. I would buy a low milage used one down the road for a fraction of the price, not to mention there are so many Voodoo rumors flying around and I can't help but think 2010 to the 2011 model and how 2010 buyers got screwed. The next level performance numbers are just not there with this new itteration but look out in 2017.

Anyhow I like the new stang, just not for me this go around. I would have liked to have seen a lighter more exotic looking stang with better performance numbers or higher HP numbers considering the added weight. They took it to the next level in ride and handeling but not performance.

Here's a simple exercise... Go lease a Mustang GT fully loaded. Tell us what your payment will be for a 36 month lease.

This is what you get when you try on ford's site (and it's for a reason)

We do not have any special lease incentives at this time in your ZIP Code, so we are unable to calculate a lease payment. Please contact your local dealer to determine estimated lease payments.

Not sure I follow. Are you making the argument that they don't lease because they depreciate so quickly? There could be a number of reasons why they don't lease the GTs.

Every table I've seen from MotorTrend to cars.com shows (for example) that a 2013 328i has a quicker depreciation rate than a Mustang GT Premium, both of which you could get into for around 32k.

My car has 9,000 miles roughly and I've already had two errors related to a Chassis Malfunction and today on the way to work I got a Drivetrain Malfunction error.

Nice try though guy with a 228i.

As for the car itself, glad to see it's grown up a bit and has IRS. It is a bit heavy though and still not sold on the looks. Bring on the high revving GT350.
