Ford testers' notes
Neil's favourite bit of the Ford Mustang
I spent some time last week with the latest version of the Ford Mustang (not technically on sale in Ireland but it’s in the UK and you could try asking your Ford dealer nicely...). It’s a great looking car, and with its rumbling V8, it’s fun to drive, but my favourite part was that the digital instrument panel is so variable. You can pick from the expected Sport and Track layouts, or you can choose reproductions of the original ‘64 Mustang dials, the 1980s ‘Fox Body’ Mustang instruments, or even the later Cobra SVT versions. Digital doesn’t have to mean humourless.
But of course a Ford Mustang 5.0 should be bright orange
Amongst other things this week, Neil is driving the Ford Mustang 5.0 in ‘Orange Fury.’ It’s just delightfully silly, even with the ten-speed auto instead of the six-speed manual. Look how happy he looks. Haven’t seen him smile like that in weeks...
