Overall Rating
Ford Mustang:

Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 , over 400,000 units were sold in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch. In August 2018, Ford produced the 10-millionth Mustang; matching the first 1965 Mustang, the vehicle was a 2019 Wimbledon White convertible with a V8 engine....(Read more on Wikipedia)

3.7 V6 (304 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Provides smooth and adequate power for cruising, but lacks the punch of the EcoBoost or the raw power of the V8. The automatic transmission is competent.
Fuel Economy
Acceptable fuel consumption for a naturally aspirated V6, but less efficient than the EcoBoost and not as powerful as the V8.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Iconic and aggressive styling, especially as a convertible.
- • Wide range of powerful engine options, from efficient EcoBoost to thrilling V8.
- • Improved independent rear suspension significantly enhances handling.
- • Excellent value for money compared to European sports cars.
- • Engaging driving experience, particularly with manual transmissions.
Cons:
- • Fuel economy can be poor with the V8 engines.
- • Rear seat space is limited, typical for a 2+2 convertible.
- • Some interior materials feel less premium than rivals.
- • Initial Euro NCAP safety rating was a concern.
- • Visibility can be restricted with the top up.
