    If they don't sell the car or know anything about it, they shouldn't have one sitting in the showroom.

    Hey dont shoot the messenger. ;)

    Ford MK arent a Mustang dealer, no idea why they have one in their showroom - might be worth asking them why its there.

    Worst N CAP crash rating performance Ford admitting they left off half the safety spec stuff for EU bound cars Drivers airbags deploy too late resulting in headbutting the steering wheel and the rear seatbelts are next to useless. The 2.3 ones suffer from heat on the floor pan from the exhaust badly also. Repaired one recently £18k to put it back on road

    We will not be using the rear much if at all and I have opted for the 5.0. Took it for a spin today. Rapid. Interior is fine, looks more modern than my 330d. It did feel heavy and large but I’ll get used to it. A lot of car for the price.

    Its not a common sense car, I put my name down as soon as I heard there was a RHD mustang coming to UK. I bought because to me its an icon. And luckily as I said earlier a huge step up on the previous model.

    Suitable for UK? Not really, too big. Expensive to tax, low 20s (or lower!) mpg. Its still a Ford, so build quality not the same as BMW or Merc.

    But then you put your foot down - I defy you not to grin from ear to ear. Oh and there is only the 5ltr, anyone buying less is kidding themselves.

    I went from a 370z to caymen S to the tang. The zed was easiest day to day, the porker was a big bill waiting to happen - but looked the nicest, the Mustang was a different league. None of the other cars got anywhere near as much attention or grin factor.

    You'll love it! You may not keep it, for the aforementioned reasons, but you'll love it while you do. I'm into motorbikes now but I'd love a classic mustang one day.

    Rather have this for weekends and fine days, with a banger for work, etc:

    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Yellow shadow pack. The grey and black are nice but do not stand out at all.

    Black with Gold stripes - to look like a Shelby GT-H.

    No weans then?

    To me this is the sort of car you get on a 1-2 year lease enjoy and get it out your system.

    Have fun OP.

    Why would you buy a Mustang or a Beamer when you can buy a Dacia Sandero for about 40 quid and a pack of ciggies?
