Steeps 294 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I'll be looking into it just to put my mind at ease, it's certainly a looker and the 2.3 doesn't break the bank... but would I be able to live with saying I have a 4cyl Mustang when I can have similar performance from the GT86? It's probably better suited to A road fun rather than B road dashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 the V8 is the only one worth getting, and it's good value imo. I may go for a test drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Not as as nice looking as the GT350R, looks mean, they talk about proper suspension for real handling and what not but we'll see....and let's hope the quality improves as I've heard their interiors are proper cheap and nasty. On a side note, how do you people get test drives without being chased by the dealers or giving them details and what not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deacon 1357 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 The size may put me off - bigger than an A5 and 4 series! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, love the concept, love the price (you can get a V8 Mustang AND a GT86 for the same price as an M4 V8), but realy think I will hate the size...

Quixote 35 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Same here, love the concept, love the price (you can get a V8 Mustang AND a GT86 for the same price as an M4 V8), but realy think I will hate the size... Current M4 is 3 litre turbo. Old E90/E92 M3s were the 4.0 V8s... the bimmer has more torque and power from a smaller lump... However, after sales care at BMW is shite in my experience (of owning an E90 M3) The rear is missing a spoiler of some sort, nothing too ostentatious, but it needs something to finish the boot line On another note, Mustang = Pony Car in the US - and we all know what "pony" is rhyming slang for... FI with the GT is the way to go IMO or go with the Chevy Camaro... 6.2 V8 because more is better...and I bet the volume even goes to 11!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 22, 2015 I bought a brand new Mustang V8 GT in 2008, a different car I know, and I can tell you that even after fitting 20" wheels and low coil overs it still felt like driving around in a waterbed. I know the right hand drive will improve the overall feel of the car for me, but I'll bet it still feels huge? I was also surprised by the amount of underside components that weren't painted, like, for example, the whole rear axle. I'm going to test drive it, but I think it'll be V8 only for me. Every other Mustang without a V8 has become undesirable by comparison, all over the world. I may be tempted, but it'll be the Fiat going in to buy one, not my precious GT86. With that in mind, and the fact I love my little Fiat, I probably would be better off staying away from the dealers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
