Our new Mustang


Tico

Recommended Posts

Picked up January 2021.  Ecoboost 101A package and auto.  2nd one we've had.  First one was a 2004 GT Premium bought new in 2003.  Drove that year round until 2015.  Snow tires and bags of salt in the trunk in the winter.  It was a long 5 years with out a Mustang around, so happy to have one again!

Thought I would chime in and congratulate you on the rebirth of owning another ford mustang.  She is pretty.  Take good care of her and keep her in your lane.  I'm excited as well as I have my order in on the new 2021 mustang mach1 in fighter jet gray with handling package.  She is scheduled for production the week of March 15th.  6 speed and an the Tremec transmission from the GT 350.  Spring can't get here fast enough.  Good luck with your new edition.

Respect for getting such a sick color. I've always wanted a red, 2002-2004 era Mustang, or a 60s model with full red leather interior.

 

You're better than me, I cannot handle the red interiors Ford has done.  Like the Red on the Limited F150's few years back, bad!

When I was a young lad, I grew up riding around in dads 88 Bronco with porno red interior. It's nostalgic for me.

I didn't think red was that sick.   Lots red cars and trucks on the road.   Its sad when anything besides black, white or gray/silver is considered kinda wild.

Maybe you live in a cool town, but here is estimate red makes up around 15% it the cars I see.

 

That said, If dodge still offered plum crazy, I'd be incredibly tempted to order a challenger. I just hate that it'sade in canada, and owned by Europe :/

I love the challenger colors.  I just think the Mustang is a better made more modern car.

24 MPG mostly city some hwy.  Diving normal but somewhat aggressively.  But since my office is still closed because of covid I only get on the freeway on weekends.  I did manage to get 34 on one freeway trip but that was sticking to the right lane and driving like a grandma.  If I put it in sport or drag mode a lot I can easily push the mileage down into the teens.  In drag mode it will squeal the stock good years on dry pavement in several gears without even applying full throttle.  I would say its a good mix of mileage and power for a daily driver which mine is.  I traded a '13 Fusion 2.0L ecoboost for this car and would say the Mustang gets better mileage than the Fusion did.  Before that I had an '04 Mustang GT 4.6L plain stock with auto trans which did absolutely horrible MPG.   and wasn't really fast either.  The new Mustang is an auto also btw.  But the extra 6 gears seem to make a big difference.
