I agree, the americans screwing the Mustang together must be blind. Even great wall has better aligned and smaller panel gaps than the crappy Mustang! The Focus is on point though!

Consensus, Focus RS is a beast.
Interesting Andrew MacLean's comments RE Mustang. Wasn't he an EX FPV employee?

One thing I have learnt is that a car is about how it makes you feel, not how some random journalist rates it after borrowing it for a few days.

So, the Mustang really sucks.
One reason is because the Falcon is better. But the Falcon sucks too, and it's about time it was gone. Got it. |

At the time Mustang was released they all raved about it and how good it was. I don't recall a bad review. Now it's suddenly no good. Clowns.

Ford have sold 5594 Mustangs year to date and leads its sub category.
That's 5594 people that are disappointed according to Drive. Falcon Sprint was largely sold out prior to going on sale. Again, that's a lot of people that are supposedly disappointed in their purchase. And yet Drive have declared the utterly boring, predictable and overpriced Volkswagen Tiguan as their Car of the Year.

There is a lot of Toyota passenger vehicles sold each year yet there are many reviewers on this forum that say they are rubbish.
Anyway what car enthusiasts cares about the nitty gritty when straight line speed or cool looks are more important. |

Mustangs have always had bad build quality haven't they? We only have the base model too so it's not going to be the quickest thing on the road.

Only if you had high expectations of him. For me he just proved, again, that he is an idiot.

Ours is basically the American PP (all bels and whistles yet the euro does lack a couple of items), well the v8 that is.
And I have a 2017 GT and love it, only thing that was disappointing is the over top stripes, they are utter crap hence why they are replaced with solid ones as they should of been from the factory. Yep has a little panel issues agreed, nope its not the quickest car out their but all the same its great value for money and lots of fun. Nope im not circuit racing, drag racing etc so personally I don't really care about race track handling, its a nice little weekender with adequate handling and breaking where my wife and I can go for a drive with no kids and just enjoy the rumble of the V8 and go where we wish to. You will be surprised as to the looks the car get from all age groups and sexes. We had so many people come up and say can I get a photo with the car etc I have honestly lost count, let along the pointing, jaw droppers thumbs up etc even from holden drivers so the car cant be to bad considering the reaction from the public.
