Is the Mustang Dark Horse A Good Daily Driver?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today we talk about the 2024 mustang dark horse. Is this 500 horsepower track monster an actually good daily driving sports car? Or is it too rough and powerful for the road? Here are my initial impressions with 2000 miles of driving!

    Dude, totally agree about the seat belt issue! It is incredibly annoying. Also agree with you on the weird lack of “my mode” total customization… my Raptor lets me change all the variables independently and save them as my own preset, so I was super confused when the DH wouldn’t let me do it. Last thing - was the new gauge cluster option in a new OTA update that recently dropped? I’ve been out of town for the last week, so I need to get home and get it installed!

    UK dude here living in Dubai where for some lazy-ass reason the Ford dealership here only imports autos. So, I could have had a GCC spec DH in auto in February but sod that; I bullied them into special order a manual for me. Vapor Blue, black roof. It was built last week and arrives in Dubai in August. I'm sure it will be worth the wait!!! Will have to decide whether to keep my BOSS302 or not when it arrives.... 😛 Nice video bro and very honest. Gave me some good tips for when mine gets here 🙂

    I kept my paid off Honda civic for less than ideal driving or parking situations where I live. I got a 24 Base GT in manual…there have been some days where I’ve picked the wrong car to drive as it relates to traffic. Nonetheless before I even got my mustang this was always going to be the plan. I had no intention on this car exclusively being the only mode of transportation for me. Well at least not now. But i have several friends who daily drive mustangs tho.

I don’t wanna flat at all but between that and less than ideal road surfaces it’s been plenty of times I’m glad I had that Honda to jump in.

    been riding in my buddy’s new mk5 supra, it’s a really fun car and honestly debating between a dark horse and that. Leaning to dh just because i feel the the performance ceiling on stock motor and trans is a lot higher on the mustang, adding a supercharger ect, but it’s a hard decision

    For sure a huge difference between those two cars. Personally, I would take the mustang all day. The mk5 would be awesome, but I don’t think it would fill the void that the dark horse does.
