2019 Ford Mustang Convertible Test Drive Review: Four Is Enough

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#Ford no longer sells a #Mustang with a V6, instead, a 2.3-liter #EcoBoost four-cylinder takes its place. Based on the same engine in the Focus RS, it produces 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, which is more than most of its Japanese competitors. Power goes out to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic.
People just can't seem to get over the fact that the EcoBoost doesn't sound as good as the V8 but in many crucial ways, this is the sports car people claim they wish the BRZ and 86 were. It has tons of power, a larger back seat and trunk, and is extremely affordable. It may sound like blasphemy but in many ways, we actually prefer the EcoBoost to the V8.

    I've driven both ecos, hardtop and convertible as well as both 5.0's and I can honestly say the eco boost are amazing cars to drive and have a suprising amount of power. However the convertible 5.0 is definitely my favorite.

    No, the rear seat does not fold in the convertible. There is a structural brace behind the rear seat, and with the folding top down it could be damaged if the seat was folded. Get a coupe if you want folding rear seat back. 🙂 I have a 2019 Ecoboost convertible 6 speed manual and on the highway avg 65-70 mph the car easily gets 33 mpg on regular gas. My 86 GT had 200 hp, so this Ecoboost with 310 hp is plenty.

    no don't kid yourself lol, let's just say it would make a great second vehicle, especially with the droptop. Second to none other than one of the top 3 favorite pony cars, Mustang GT of course, Camaro SS, or the Challenger Scat Pack.

    Agree completely. For those of us whose conception of "performance" means more than going from 0 to 60 mph in a straight line while making as much noise as possible and don't have to bolster their gender identity with a vehicle, a properly configured Ecoboost Mustang is a credible alternative to a European sports car at a significant savings. I"m lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest where roads frequently curve and mountains exist. No doubt a Mustang GT will outperform an Ecoboost version in a quarter mile drag race. But take each on a 50 mile mountain loop and the driver in the Ecoboost Mustang will be on a second cup of coffee when the GT (with the equivalent of an NFL lineman sitting in the passenger seat) arrives.

    no way, gt has a lot more tire. i also think the smaller engine might be the better one because it's a lot quiet. if both cars had the same tires, the lighter car would be much better cornering.

    No this is a silly comment. Absolutely 100 percent i agree the ecoboost is a great car but performance wise the GT will beat it time and time again. Especially in the PNW area, being able to hear the v8 roar through the mountains is an incredible feeling. I've rented an ecoboost and own the GT, both are great but the GT is better in every way other than fuel consumption.

    Hey Buddy, Very nice videos of your channel. Good and neat work. I am in the dilemma of considering if i should go with a 2019 GT convertible or Coupe. I am staying in UAE. My concerns are the 8months of heat + dust. If the rag top is cleanable, will it fade and all. It would be great if u could give me some suggestion with respect to it. Thanks in Advance Rohit

    The automatic with the convertible, especially in the Premium Ecoboost package, is awesome. It is not a race car; if your intent is the track, get the coupe. This is a fairly sophisticated drop top sports car - cruiser, and feels like it was designed from the ground up to do this. Plenty of power when you need it, good handling, very sporty yet very comfortable. And it looks gorgeous. Not quite as sexy as, say, the Aston Martin convertible, but far more beautiful than it’s convertible domestic (ahem) challengers. It also has better lines IMO than many of the BMW and Mercedes convertibles. Oh, and unlike the convertible Camaro competitor it has plenty of trunk/stowage space.
