Ford Mustang 6 (S550) facelift
CoupeProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Ford Mustang Mk6 facelift is a liftback coupe pony car in production from 2017. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V8 engines that displaced 2.3 to 5.2 liters.
Interestingly, the NA V6 has disappeared from the lineup. In its stead, one can choose either a more economical I4 or the an American V8. There is little doubt that the reasonable choice is the V8, preferably in supercharged guise.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Ford Mustang 6 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewer score 63% (normalized by Neofiliac)Ford has worked to enhance the old-school feeling of a V8. It coughs into life with an almighty roar and settles to an animated, burbling idle. The beauty of this car is that it doesn’t need to be driven in anger to feel special. Despite the substantial mass it has to fight, the Mustang is surprisingly composed in the bends.
Pros
- Powerful V8
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent soundtrack
Cons
- Expensive for what’s on offer

Reviewer score 59% (normalized by Neofiliac)At 4.8 metres long, the Mustang is nearly the same length as the five-door Ford Mondeo. Up front, access is easy thanks to the wide opening doors. There's plenty of space inside and no issues with head or legroom. All models get a full set of airbags, while a pedestrian-friendly pop-up bonnet boosts safety.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of standard equipment
- Good range of wheel and seat adjustments
Cons
- No front parking sensors
- Lack of safety equipment

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)Ford's done far more to the Mustang than the styling suggests, but it's still a leftfield choice. The back seats are cramped, the interior plastics are sub-European and the V8's average of 23mpg is as retro as the styling. But it's genuinely fun to drive, whether the road's straight or twisty. And while it looks strong at £43k, remembering that when the Mustang first arrived here it cost almost £10k less.
Pros
- Fantastic looks
- Great performance
- New 10-speed auto transmission
Cons
- Slightly cramped back seats
- Lack of infotainment tech

Reviewer score 90% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is on sale now with a base price of $59,000. The flat-plane V8 is a thirsty, 526-horsepower devil. Supportive and comfy Recaro race seats come standard in the GT350. The Shelby is just fine for daily-driving duties, its Normal drive mode offering reasonable give.
Pros
- Powerful V8
- Fantastic performance
- Fun to drive
Cons
- Middling fuel economy
- Big, aggressive tires

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)Ford touts the updated Shelby GT350 as a machine that's rewarding for track veterans but approachable for novices. While the new GT350 is rewarding on a road course, there was some concern that the more aggressive chassis tuning might translate to an abusive ride on public streets. While Chevrolet doesn't offer a direct competitor to the GT350, the 455 horsepower Camaro SS 1LE and 650 hp supercharged Camaro ZL1 are both models with similar intentions.
Pros
- More fun to drive than ever before
- Rugged, sporty interior
- New rear spoiler
Cons
- More expensive than rivals
- More aggressive chassis tuning
