Pros & cons
Ford Mustang
- Explosive acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.5 s) at this price.
- Strong 450 hp V8 with 569 Nm for confident passing.
- Four seats and a 382 L trunk support light family duty and road trips.
- 250 km/h top speed provides ample performance headroom.
- High combined consumption (12.5 L/100 km) increases running costs.
- Only four seats limit flexibility versus typical five-seat alternatives.
- Not suited to cargo-heavy or highly practical use.
- If efficiency matters more than speed, the V8 focus misses the brief.

- Efficient for its class with 8.6 combined consumption
- Not the quickest: 0–100 in 7.4 seconds
- Small trunk capacity at 237 liters
