Summary
You can’t knock Ford’s attitude to customer feedback. The new 2019 Mustang takes on board all criticism, and comes back bigger, badder and better. The styling is more honed. The 5.0-litre, naturally aspirated V8 engine brings more power and, crucially, an active valve exhaust. That rumble can now be properly heard, and appreciated. And despite the price increasing, you’ll still struggle to find more bang for your buck.
