It’s an American muscle car, but not as we know it. Forget the cliché gas-guzzling monstrosities of yesteryear and cast aside those gentle undertones of ownership mockery (nothing screams “mid-life crisis” louder than a macho hunk of all-American metal), because the Ford Mustang is back, and way better than ever before.
Let’s begin by addressing the elephant sitting squarely in the room: is this Mustang really as good as the European competition? Well, truth be told, it can’t quite match the sharpness of the Porsche Cayman or Audi TT, yet, as an alternative, something a little less mainstream, it ticks enough boxes to be a worthy consideration, albeit a slightly unconventional one.
What’s more, because Ford has earmarked some of the Mustang’s production specifically for the UK market, the steering wheel is now where it should be, on the right-hand side. The suspension is stiffer too, which vastly improves stability and ride control.
