Ford Mustang Convertible 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
For the first time in Ford Mustang’s long history, the convertible version of the Mustang coupe is now available in the UK, with right hand drive! However, once the excitement of being able to rip around in this iconic muscle car on UK roads has died down, how does it stack up against similar priced rivals, such as the Audi TT Roadster, the Mercedes C-Class Convertible or BMW 4 Series. How does the turbocharged 2.3 litres EcoBoost petrol engine handle on UK roads, or will you be left wishing you bought the 5.0 litre V8? Have sacrifices been made in converting this car to be a convertible? Can it pass the carwow flick test? Find out exactly what I thought of this iconic America vehicle in this 4k review

6:42 Some say Mat resides in that forest in between car reviews. Carwow just park a new car in front of the treeline as bait and he emerges.

Just open random doors and panels in your car and it will be there.
I own this car and compared to my other car (2007 Honda Accord) it is amazing. Looks and power (I drive the ecoboost in the sport mode almost all the time - something that wasn't mentioned in this vid) are incomparable to so many pedestrian type cars. Why does every sassy sounding Brit reviewer keep comparing this to a V8 version which costs 5k more? This is a somewhat affordable and goes quite fast compared to most of the cars you'll see on the road around you. As fast as a Porsche? No. As slow as a camel? No. It just "is what it is" and it is a really fun (and quite fast in sport mode) car.
Mat, the way you enter the back seat is hilarious. Just like how a raptor trying to get into it.
How's your Porsche going? Fixed the roof? All good?
Great job carwow. I was watching Matts reviews since his previous channel and joined carwow from the beginning. Guys you really get what it takes to make the show. Keep it up. Also you should do hot hatchbacks review and head to head. Golf R, Audi R3, Mercedes A45 AMG and BMW 1M
that head rest but made me LOL so much. instant like

Compliments to this reviewer for keeping it real!
I think Ford Mustangs only problem is they didn’t pay Matt enough to like it. I currently have this same car as a hire car and I think it’s great. Granted the roof catch is a little old school but otherwise I can’t fault it. Will be heading to the Ford dealer on my return for sure!
Hey Matt! I love your reviews! Really awesome jokes btw! :D Could you do one about the Mazda CX 5? I'd like to watch it from you with this new cool features on carwow... Keep going like this and i'll never unsubscribe this channel! Cheers!

Boost bar for EcoBoost? ;) car wow Easter eggs!
You should’ve put it on sport + or track mode to feel the thorttle response more
When your looking at a one bedroom condominium with Formica countertops and carpeting instead of solid wood floors you don't complain that it's not finished in higher cost materials because you're aware the price would be much higher. The gt model would be the condo with a great view and the four cylinder is in the back facing a brick wall. Both have carpet but you want the view. It's more exciting. Forgot to mention. the marble countertops and Brazilian teak floors you want are down the street at the Porsche dealer.
Love That Car
I liked the little Boost joke :P
LOL!! when you get into the rear of the car Mat, it's like you held your breath for quite long...
Love the comment "OK Ford I will raise the Windows then" brilliant
Our Matt loves a Boost!!!
can't afford one but his reviews feel like I m driving one.
i have a 2018 like that and i love it ! two kids 8 and 11 single dad!
can u make all car cameras to record when u add storage and little software? has any1 done it?
I think you need to make one longer video with all the space and practicality sections included. It makes it easier than going backwards and forwards through videos. Just my opinion.
3:21 what's is called of this part car
I wanted a review of the 2018 model as in the description. This car has 2016 plates.
How many seats are there in a 2019 version?
Nice review.
Nice Easter egg Mat 👍🏻

That roof latch looks identical to the one used on the late 90's CLK. Ridiculous that they went for that mechanism.
If you get the optional colour interior, a lot of the hard plastics are upholstered. Available in the Premium only. Extra $$$ of course.
That looks like a real crowd pleaser
I see you put that boost chocolate everywhere to advertise it! 😁

This mustang is aimed at countries with strict taxes on cars that get a certain MPG or have a certain engine size. For example in my country, if the mustang was above 2.5L in engine size, it would cost $50,000 more for taxes alone. Now mustang ecoboost is selling like hotcakes here because it's below 2.5L. Same story with the new Boxster 718, get an engine below 2.5L and it will sell very well in my country.

The 2013 Shelby GT500 had a supercharged 5.8L V8 with 662HP stock from the factory. The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE has a big 6.2L V8 supercharged engine with 650HP stock from the factory and its a track beast. Yeah, the strict European regulations are crazy. I live in the US in NYC.

plenty of cheap plastic in the bmw too... cheap plastic with an expensive price tag.
do they make left hand drive mustangs ?
I don't understand why Ford doen't give the customer the opportunity to choose higher quality if he doesn't has a problem with spending more money. The GT costs in germany around 50k they just could give things like leather packages etc. for 10k extra. I'd say a lot of ppl would compare this to a 440i, S4 or CLA.
It got a 2/5 star for safety in Australia...going 50-64 km your more likely to get serious chest injury compared to like a subaru...costing this much it should be much safer...so speed over safety?
I don't know... I have a '17. Love it. Interior is very nice. I have a friend that has a "loaded" Mini. This is a head scratcher. Talk about cheap plastic! Maybe Mini is making the interiors on the Mustangs sent to the EU? The tip-off?: The steering wheel is on the wrong side for crying out loud!
matt why is it an auto manual only
I've just driven this 5.0 litre V8 convertible in Florida for a week. It is sensational, but being typical American car, it is not as refined as our German cousins & clearly the build quality is not the same. However the engine roar is sweet and performance is incredible. It really does give you a grin then you plant your foot down. It's all about emotion! For the price it is incredible value. Go for the automatic. Don't bother with the smaller engine, go for the 5.0!

As someone that works on cars for a living I agree about German cars being over rated. They are built to last a few years for lease packages and then fall apart. BMWs use the most flimsy materials in the world. KIA is much better then German cars.

+Carwow Something I've noticed is that most American cars don't pass the big bottle door test. I think it's because in America, we don't sell many beverages in 1 liter bottles the way they are...... well anywhere else in the world. I think American car designers don't have the liter bottle in mind when they make the door bin. Just something I've noticed and something you might mention next time you review an American car. I love your videos! Keep it up!

Ford made a lot of upgrades to the interior and increased HP to 460 and added active exhaust and magnetic dampening shocks that this 2017 video misses yes that is right - this review is on a 2017 model year not the much improved 2018 model year.
Do you like this car? Remember the ford pinto? Said yes to both? Just wait till a cr....BANGGGGGGG....

Definitely neat car and fun to drive and doesn't look like the other cars, and convertible is the way to go if you're in a warmer climate and the six does just fine although the V8 would be my pick.
