I'm sure a lot of you guys saw this vid already.
Also, I recently posted it on the V6 forum, but I want to see what kind of comments I get from this crowd.
Don't worry I'm not a mustang hater, I love stangs, I own one and I never want to get rid of it, but I know their limits, and accept them.

As he says at the end of the drive.. the Mustang really grew on him... and overall... he enjoyed the drive... the car and the feeling of the muscle car as it is supposed to be...

This is not one of the best Top Gear, reviews. But bear in mind, in the UK cars are very different and sub 20mpg is often considered an outrage.

For the same money as a entry GT you could have a Lotus Elise plus many other cars which would be new or newly new.

I for one love the Mustang, but I no what people say about Top Gear when they don't comment "The Mustang is the best car ever in the ENITRE WORLD!!!!".

Remember these guys like cars, and have a lot of experience with 100's of different models.

Also, Richard Hammond (the reveiwer) loves American cars and has a 1968 440ci Dodge Charger.

Been here done this, there is a very lengthy thread on this exact video and most here have already seen it. Just thought I would mention this. But to recap my thoughts from that thread. I dont see this as a bad review and anyone who really thinks so probably needs assurance on their purchase or desire to purchase...

I love Top Gear, best car show on television!

However its like others have mentioned, they like a different kind of car across the pond. In fact that reveiw really wasn't that bad considering the Mustang is a long way away from a Focus ST. You should see Clarkson review the Lightning!

Yeah I know, he totally slated it. Which is a shame because I really like the Lightning (My Bro is considering getting one).

But, despite all of it. JC does have a valid point, and unless you live or have lived in the UK I guess you wouldn't perhaphs get it.
