New Mustang Owner Shares Candid Review

Mustang 5.0

I’ve come across dozens of interesting reviews on the 2015 Ford Mustang. But of all the ones I’ve stumbled upon, this one by David Turnbull-Hardt, highlighted in the video below, might be the most authentic and genuine consumer feedback I’ve found online.

From why he picked a white model over a red one, to his girlfriend being upset that he was even buying a new car in the first place, it’s about as candid a review as you’ll find on the new Mustang.

In the review, posted just over two months after the Texan bought his Mustang GT, Turnbull-Hardt weighs the pros and cons of his purchase, including inconsistency in the leather seat stitching.

Turnbull-Hardt also mentions being upset that navigation isn’t standard with the Mustang on the in-dash display. He also shares some good advice on how to resolve the issue.

“I found this out the hard way when I picked up the car and went to go home,” he says. “I picked my car up about two and half hours away… and I didn’t have GPS. I had my phone, but I don’t like using data for that.”

But instead of paying the $1,500 that Ford quoted him to add a model for the nav, he found one that only cost $100 online.

But it’s Turnbull-Hardt’s wrap up that many here will probably find most interesting.

“Overall, I would say I’m content but I’m not 100 percent satisfied… just because of the quality and how many times I’ve had it with the dealer,” says Turnbull-Hardt. “I feel like if you spend forty grand on a vehicle you shouldn’t have any issues. I understand it’s not a handmade exotic… but America needs to pride itself on its vehicles.”
