    I have a 2017 6 speed manual mustang ecoboost and im already looking forward to getting a new one in couple of years, thinking v8 but i do love the way the ecoboost drives so that be hard choice when time comes, be like a kid in a candy store lol, v8 be good for sound but petrol is expensive in the uk its £1.20 a litre so possibly just get the new ecoboost with active exhaust, got to be grabber lime, or twister orange or magnetic colour 😅👍👍

    Hi Mechonomist. Really enjoyed your review on the Ecoboost!! When you were driving it up there in Michigan, did you have dedicated winter tires (example Michelin X Ice 3's) on it? If so, how did you find driving it in winter conditions? Looked pretty slushy there at the time of this review. I live just outside Winnipeg, Manitoba and winters here can get pretty bad. I would like to hear from you or anyone else on here if they drive their Mustang during the winter months. I don't want to go by what a dealership rep tells me.Thanks!

    Your videos are really enjoyable man, you should definitely keep at the reviews. Are you considering adding any modifications to the Cayman? I personally don't like an obscene amount of exterior mods on Caymans, but I do like the gt3 grill vent some people choose to add onto it, and I also think DRLs and LED taillights can transform the look of the car. Obviously this would be quite costly but I think it would make the car awesome. Keep up the content, would love to see vids of you murdering out that Cayman lol
