It’s pretty decent. Only thing I don’t like is the steering, for some reason it feels indirect and stiff. I even tried out all of the steering modes with the same result.

The Ecoboost Mustang is a good car, I admit it. But I’d never buy one, I’d always suck up the price difference and go with a GT.

These projections are awesome though.

A lot of people seem to buy the EB and then regret not getting the GT. A Youtuber I used to be subscribed to bought one (with money raised by his subscribers) and promptly sold it and bought himself a GT with the money from the trade in. For what it’s worth, I think that the whole situation was wrong, but the whole time he had the EB you could tell he wished it had double the cylinders.

My biggest problems with the Turbo Accord:

No opening sunroof. They NEED to offer a sliding glass sunroof. I don’t want a convertible, just a sunroof.

They should also let you order a red interior with grabber blue.

Exactly.

Whenever I ask people how they feel about the Ecoboost, they usually tell me they think that people buy the Ecoboost when they want a Mustang, but can’t afford the GT.

When I bought my Jetta, I got fairly close to buying a V6 Mustang because it was in the same price bracket. But in the end, I decided not to because all the V6 Stang would do would be to make me want a GT even more.

All these complaints about the mustang EB being good just missing that last little bit of sportiness yet no one seems to be talking about the turbo Camaro or the V6...just saying

Working for an aftermarket accessory company I have to say that the way the roof is shaped it’s nearly impossible to get a sunroof in there. They really need to do a spoiler-type sunroof on the Mustang with an entirely different roof panel. Like Chevy does with the Camaro.

No sunroof:

Factory sunroof:

Also, just get black cloth with Grabber Blue. And then get red leather installed.

My company has patterns for both the Recaro and base seats. Plus you can get this - which probably has more appeal to the “Velcro white Reeboks and Fanny Pack” crowd:
