The Mustang Mach-E gets a hard time for not being a "real" Mustang. But with the new GT model, Ford has upped the ante considerably, giving this latest iteration of the electric Mustang more power, better handling, and a wild ride! Rory hops aboard for a full review.

That is way more convincing to being a Mustang than the original Mach-e. I sometimes still scratch my head over the marketing decision, but if there’s one benefit, is that it’s one of the best-looking crossovers on the road! I wish it was available where I live.

When they announced the Mach E I first assumed it would be the 'real' Mustang with electric power. I thought electric power in a muscle car would be amazing. I still say this should've been a Galaxy E, never Mustang. Nothing to do with the power train and everything to do with the body style. I'll admit to hating SUV/Softroaders though.

@@cobracarlos Yes. The Mach-E is not as comfortable and practical as the Rivian R1S. Not mentioning the performance which is unbelievable on the Rivian. Again, the Rivian R1S is clearly THE best electric SUV I’ve ever driven, and probably will drive, as I can’t see anything beating it. The Hummer EV is also very good though but it’s less agile and practical as the Rivian.

I own a 2005 Acura TL and now that the car is 17 years old, some of the electronics are failing. Since the NAV, stereo, voice commands and some others are all integrated, the ability to control some of the features is becoming impossible. I would like to see some of this stuff being more modular so they can be replace individually. Also, why hasn't voice command become more advanced to where you don't need to reach for a switch or button? Great review but I would not trust Ford to support me with an electrical problem and don't even mention battery problems and replacement costs.

I’m so confused about the ride quality of the Mach-E GT…most reviewers acknowledge how firm/stiff the Model Y is and that the GT’s adaptive dampers are so much more compliant, but then I run across reviews like this, and a few others, who talk about the poor rebound characteristics of the dampers on the Mach-E. Maybe these two observations aren’t mutually exclusive, but it seems to be a dichotomy on the surface.
