Nice review. I'm always glad to see people around the world enjoying the Stang life. The Coyote is a special engine and I rarely turn the radio on.

That symphony is from a real living breathing proper engine which any age child myself included (70yo) would do exactly the same as Bob just play with and have a permanently fixed joker like smile, it’s not about need or practicality it’s just pure joy and happiness. Electric hum with fake soundtrack through the sound system, shove it.

So glad theyre selling the bullitt mustang across the globe. Everyone should have an opportunity to enjoy a car like this

"no one needs a mustang". EXCUSE ME, if people can have an emotional support miniature horse, I can have my emotional support Mustang. It supports me on even the hardest times.

I agree, replace the Bullitt badges on the wheel and boot with the Mustang ones, much cooler look then !!! Also, if it only just had a proper Liftback / Hatchback, then it would be practical and beautiful too. Then I’d consider one as an everyday driver, but I’d buy second hand after a couple of years and save a fortune on list price. And that saving could go on petrol win-win Thanx Bob ☘️

To get a Mustang insured in Ireland could cost several thousand dollars a year. A person who is in their twenties might not even be able to get an insurance company to cover them as they may all refuse. Just to get a standard 4 cylinder diesel car insured in Ireland could cost about $1000 per year. Count yourself lucky that you live in the best country in the world. Houses are about 4 times more expensive in Ireland as in the US. Clothing is about 4 times more expensive and a tv is about twice as expensive. Ireland is an expensive country because it is a welfare state and taxes are through the roof.

With a car like this, the sound of the engine responding to the throttle, makes us Neanderthals compared to the lofty woosh of an electric car. And men are, some more than others, Neanderthals at heart. That makes this so hard to pass up on, say goodbye to or ignore altogether... the fire in the belly of the beast, the raw emotion of discovery of fire, and then containing it yet with all the dangers. It is so much more primal than electric cars. I love my hybrid diesel exactly for this reason: it combines modern times with the rumble of series of small explosions. Thanks for the smile on my face!

Even though I understand and feel the luring qualities of electric cars, I know from personal experience, I agree there is a moment where the technique crosses a tilting point from novelty to mainstream, where we can no longer ignore the mounting waste of used batteries. It already is a problem throughout the lifecycle of portables and wearables. The speed in which electirc vehicles are being adopted. the problem seems to already run away from us there too. We are in the same deliberate ignorant state as we are with nuclear power, and that in turn comes form our inability to actually take ownership of the entire value chain and design and adhere to a cradle to cradle process. Instead we all skim the quick profit and leave the residual effects for either our neighbors or the next generation.

Very few mustangs sold in Ireland. People simply cannot afford all the taxes that are put on cars in Ireland. A V8 car can be had in US for about $30,000 and in Ireland it is pushing about $90,000 and that is just for a basic V8. A standard VW Golf in America starts at about $22,000 in Ireland it is $28,000. In America a golf GTI costs about $28000 in Ireland that exact same car starts at about $54000. There are very few sales of performance cars in Ireland. The most common car in Ireland is the Yaris.
