Ford Mustang GT Convertible REVIEW | Plenty Of Passion, But Execution Falls Short
THE ENTIRE 2016 AUSTRALIAN ALLOCATION OF FORD MUSTANGS SOLD OUT IN 2015. They sold out before a single car had been delivered to a showroom, much less a customer’s driveway.
Such was the demand, such was the hype for Ford’s long-awaited two-door muscle car.
Personally, I was excited to get behind the wheel - after all, over 4000 Australians can’t be wrong, right? But hype has a habit of setting unrealistic expectations, and, for me at least, the Mustang GT convertible fell victim to that.
Let me tell you why.
