Which doesn't change the fact that it's an aspirational "style over substance" decision for the majority of buyers, especially those buying the 2.3 EcoBoost version. Recently I also do spot them quite frequently in Bulgaria, but their resale value on the second-hand market is tragic, they lose something like 70% of their value in 3 years even with low mileage.
- pureliquidhw 8y agoThe Mustang has been easy to hate, but in Ford's defense, the latest gen Mustang is on order of magnitude better than any mustang from the 80's on. Independent rear suspension gives it actual handling, and after a tune that 2.3 ecoboost can put down over 300hp, and still get ~30mpg. Given the price of a C class coupe or a base 911 vs a Mustang, there is a real value proposition, not just style over substance as you suggest. edit: Also, if you can get a 70% discount on a 2016 Mustang, that's an outrageous deal. That's a lot of car for ~10000 USD.
- MarkSweep 8y agoAt least in the American market, if you want the most horsepower per dollar, the Mustang is your best bet, particularly the 460 HP version. That is hardly “style over substance”. The Subaru WRX has the same number of horse/dollars as the EcoBoost Mustang. Otherwise cars have quite a bit fewer horse/dollars.
