Going by the hood, I think I have seen your Mustang during my college days. Do post some more pictures of your Red beauty. :)

IIRC there was another one in Vellore too.


Hello
Glad to hear from you
Vellore has only one Mustang .
I am uploading a few pictures, I will share some more in the near future and also come up with my experience so far with an in dept review. :)

Points I’d like to share:

1) Five and a half years old and still no rattle in the interior (I think the materials might not be exotic but it sure is built to last).

2) Tyres and brakes don’t last long if you drive regularly on the highway - 5 to 6 thousand kilometres maximum.

3) It’s pretty usable apart from the fact the turning radius affects its usability more than its ground clearance (U-turns, tight space parking).

4) Availability of XP95 and Power 95 have been a boon and one does not require fuel additives anymore.

I own a 2021 GT here in the US. It has run about 7.9k miles (12.6k kms) in 20 months.
Materials are basic and does its job, but sometimes there is a creaking noise from above the infotainment area on mine.
My tires still look brand new and grippy for my usage.
And yeah, feels like a truck to drive with its dimensions and turning radius.
Attached a few pics of my Beast.

Thank you for sharing .
Mustangs are indeed known for their wide build. Hot climates and high torque can be tough on tires;

The width of the Mustang being comparable to an S-Class does highlight its substantial size, which might pose challenges in certain locations.

Indeed, the wider roads in some parts of America can make driving larger vehicles like the Mustang more comfortable. Navigating narrower roads elsewhere might require extra attention. Do you find any specific challenges or advantages in driving your Mustang in your area?

Sorry for the late reply, i hadn't checked my inbox!
Since i live in Seattle area and it is wet most of the year, driving a RWD car is challenging especially in the curves (its common at the entry and exit in freeways). If you are not gentle on the throttle, the rear tires tend to slip especially when the boot is empty, and its scary. Have experienced it a few times. Snow / Wet mode helps somewhat but still you have to be gentle. Other than that driving is so much fun especially in Sports mode.
