Ford Mustang (2014-2023) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Fabulous V8 engine in GT models	High running costs
Brawny styling and driving experience	Four-cylinder models miss the point
Bullitt and Mach 1 versions add extra appeal	Cramped rear seats

Quick Summary

The Ford Mustang (2014-2023) is an iconic American muscle car that was finally made available to UK buyers in right-hand-drive form. This sixth-generation model, facelifted in 2018, combines classic throwback styling with modern performance. The long bonnet, shallow glasshouse and retro-inspired details evoke the spirit of the original 1960s Mustang, whilst the cabin features a distinctive double-cowl dashboard layout. Early UK cars offered a choice of 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder or 5.0-litre V8 engines, though later models became V8-only, with special versions like the Bullitt and Mach 1 adding extra appeal for enthusiasts.

As a used buy, the Mustang delivers exceptional value for a rear-wheel-drive performance car with genuine muscle car presence. The 5.0-litre V8 provides a bellowing soundtrack and hairy-chested power delivery that rarely fails to raise a smile, whilst the sophisticated multi-link rear suspension makes it more suitable for British roads than earlier Mustangs. Running costs are substantial—expect around 20mpg with the V8—but the relatively simple mechanical layout keeps servicing and maintenance cheaper than European performance rivals. Whilst the rear seats are cramped and the interior plastics are hard, the Fastback offers a useful 408-litre boot, and the electrically powered convertible roof is a practical bonus.

Best for: Muscle car enthusiasts seeking authentic American performance and style, drivers wanting a charismatic convertible or coupe, and buyers seeking value in the performance car market.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising rear-seat comfort, fuel economy, or the sharp handling of European sports cars, or drivers seeking a four-cylinder engine experience.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Mustang if: You're a muscle car enthusiast seeking authentic American performance and style, want a charismatic convertible or coupe, or are looking for value in the performance car market.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise rear-seat comfort, fuel economy, sharp handling of European sports cars, or prefer four-cylinder engines.

Competitive Position: The Ford Mustang (2014-2023) stands as a compelling alternative to European performance cars, offering distinctive character and value that rivals like the BMW M4 and Porsche 911 cannot match. Whilst the BMW and Porsche deliver superior handling precision and sophistication, the Mustang compensates with authentic muscle car appeal, a fabulous V8 engine, and brawny styling that turns heads. It's not the most polished or refined performance car, but as a charismatic coupe or convertible with proper American muscle car presence and reasonable running costs for its class, the Mustang is very hard to resist for enthusiasts prioritising character over outright performance.
