17 April, 1964 was a momentous day for the automotive world. On that day, at the World’s Fair in New York, Ford unveiled the first-generation Mustang. Thanks to its rear-wheel-drive layout and range of potent inline-six and V8 engines, Ford’s two-door offered true sports car performance for family car money. It proved a hit with American consumers, with 1...
For as long as I can remember and that’s going back a few decades, I’ve only ever modified one car out of the twenty-or-so I’ve owned and that was my very first – a $500 Ford Cortina Mark II MY70 – flat white with a dirty great black stripe running from boot to bonnet...
Ford has nailed it with this third-only version of the Mustang Bullitt for so many reasons – styling, noise, handling/ride, tech and comfort. It's pretty much all accounted for, and it's a hoot to drive.
Paul’s Audi R8, Curt’s AMG G63, Mandy’s Porsche 911 GT3…I knew many of the team would succumb to temptation of machinery worth north of $250K. Given that I didn’t want to leave Mike or James, with their Santa Fe and Corolla, to represent the men of the people alone, I opted for the 2018 Ford Mustang GT – in my preferred automatic form – to help keep the modest end of the field honest...
The muscle car war is alive and well, and we should enjoy it while we can. Let us know below which one you’d have in your garage.
Tony Crawford: It’s been a long time since I've enjoyed driving a car as much as I’ve enjoyed the new Mustang Bullitt. It’s not any single feature that nails it for me, rather it’s the entire package that includes noise, styling, features and performance – all of which come together so well to create a car that so much more that the sum of its parts...
You told us you don't trust the traditional 'Car of the Year' format favoured by most publishers, and you wanted to know more about our own personal faves, objectivity be damned. Well, here it is. Get the full story right here. NOTE: This video was first published on December 18.
Adam goes touring in the new Mustang, and one of its legendary predecessors!
While we’ve said goodbye to the Commodore and Falcon, the muscle car war hasn’t died off completely. For the first time, it’s the traditional US rivals that square off Down Under, with the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS now on sale (albeit in limited numbers) alongside the 2018 Ford Mustang GT...
2017 is almost over. It's time for Christmas parties, sunshine and rose-tinted reflection on the year gone by. But here at CarAdvice, we aren't taking our foot off the pedal just yet – instead, we're taking the chance to look back at your favourite comparisons from this year. 5.

What better to way to see if Ford’s newest range of factory-backed Ford Mustang performance parts are worth the money, than by putting them up against a standard Mustang?
Alex Misoyannis • Ford has whipped the covers off the Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L High Performance Package, a more extreme version of its entry-level four-pot pony car. Under the bonnet is the same 2.3-litre turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, which now produces 246kW of power and 475Nm of torque – 15kW more than the standard US-market Mustang EcoBoost...
The Ford Mustang is already a fairly capable sports car, and in markets like the USA there's even more hardcore versions in the form of the Shelby GT350 and GT500 models. According to reports out of North America, Ford Motor Company has confirmed a new "entry-level" performance variant of the iconic pony car will form part of the 2020 line-up, but hasn't divulged much else...
Ford has filed a number of trademark applications for the Mach-E name, as it gears up to reveal its first pure-electric SUV. All Ford Mustangs has discovered an application made by Ford with the EU Intellectual Property Office for the Mustang Mach-E nameplate...
Ford Motor Company has made three separate safety recalls in North America, the largest being 1.48 million F-150 pick-up trucks for potentially faulty transmissions. The manufacturer says F-150 models fitted with the six-speed automatic transmission from 2011-13 may experience an "intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor signal to the powertrain control module, potentially resulting in a temporary, unintended downshift into first gear"...
My daily driver is the ugliest car in the world. I know this for a fact because I have read all of the feedback on the reviews on various forums for this hideous machine. By driving a Mini Countryman on public roads, I am deeply offending all of the tasteful and intelligent people who inhabit the comments section of every motoring website on the interweb and for that I am very sorry...
I had been a fan of the Mustang from the very day they announced the sixth-gen would be released into the Aussie market. But for me, it was going to be a dream for some time due to the wait list and price at the time. Flash-forward another 18 months, after losing my much loved Jeep Grand Cherokee to arson and as a gift to myself for having gone through some massive weight loss, I decided now was the time to purchase the Mustang...
The automotive world is largely, like most consumer products, defined by numbers. When choosing a new car, buyers will decide how much to spend then consider a range of different factors that will ultimately lead to a final decision. Numbers like price, vehicle size, warranty length, servicing costs, fuel economy, airbag count, infotainment screen size, the number of seats, and resale values play a large part in of the decision making process for most car shoppers...
6,500kms in a convertible turbo-four, mostly traveling on interstate highways has me looking for more opportunities to travel. This is a sensational touring vehicle and has enough room for weeks away for two. I have not found a rattle/shake or shudder or build defect to date. The 3,000 kilometre free check demonstrated the loan car offer but you have to book it...
