Ford Mustang (2014-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Fabulous old-school V8 of GT models	High running costs
Charismatic looks and driving experience	Mustangs with the four-cylinder engine have less character
Bullitt edition is sharp to drive	Cramped rear seats

Quick Summary

The sixth-generation Ford Mustang (2014-present) was the first to be officially sold in the UK, bringing American muscle car icon status to British roads. Its retro-inspired styling, long bonnet, and powerful V8 engine deliver on the classic muscle car promise. While the interior features some hard plastics, this is a trade-off for the exceptional performance value offered, especially as a used buy. A significant facelift in 2018 brought further refinements, including an updated infotainment system and more power.

Despite its large exterior, the Mustang offers limited practicality with cramped rear seats, though the Fastback’s boot space is surprisingly generous at 408 litres. The driving experience is defined by the charismatic 5.0-litre V8, which provides a thrilling soundtrack and performance, making the quieter 2.3-litre EcoBoost feel less special. Running costs are high, particularly for the V8, with fuel and tyre expenses to consider. Buyers should also note the car's low two-star Euro NCAP safety rating from its 2017 test.

Best for: Buyers seeking iconic muscle car style, a thrilling V8 driving experience, and outstanding performance for the money.

Not ideal for: Those who need practical rear seats, low running costs, a premium interior, or the latest safety assistance features.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Mustang if: You want a charismatic performance car with an old-school V8 heart and head-turning looks, and you value fun over finesse.

Consider alternatives if: You need space for more than two people regularly, are on a tight budget for running costs, or prefer the sophisticated handling of a European sports car.

Competitive Position: The Ford Mustang occupies a unique space in the UK market, offering V8 muscle car thrills for significantly less than premium European rivals. It trades interior refinement, handling precision, and running costs for raw power, undeniable road presence, and an unbeatable sense of fun, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts.
