I test drove an Ecoboost a few weeks ago, and it reminded me quite a bit of my mom’s A5

I keep thinking about that comparison, and I think it’s pretty accurate. Both are 2+2 coupes, they are about the same size, they both have a 4 cylinder turbo engine.

Yes the Audi is AWD while the mustang is RWD. Sure the Mustang makes more power. But the current generation of Mustang is outwardly more European than ever before, and I think it’s quite similar to the A5 in many ways.

That’s a good question, because the Ecoboost Mustang feels very European doesn’t it; at least from my driving experience in the car.

Same idea. A family friend just got a Mustang. Side by side with my 435, they’re pretty close.
