I’m amazed with all the content you’ve prepared before the surgery! It just keeps coming. Gotta keep the youtube algorithm happy I guess. Hat off to you Misha!

Misha...Phil was asking when we were coming to visit you ;)

Im almost 42 yrs old and have been watching car "reviews" on the internet since mIRC days. For as long as i can remember, THIS is the first video in decades that feels like the person presenting is honestly reviewing vehicles and is not biased positively (which has become expected).

I have a Mach E GT PE. Loving it so far! The Polestar looks great too.

1) you do not swipe to open the back you kick. 2) lane keep assist can be turned off. it is in the driver assistance settings as are other things you complain about. 3) the rear door will not smash someones fingers until you pull on the door as there is a kickstand holding it open. the kickstand retracts after you start to open the door. 4) the stiff suspension, speed, and braking is different depending on the mode you put the car in. whisper(eco) loosens the steering and reduces power, engage is normal driving, unbridled stiffens steering and increases motor output slightly from engage mode. 5) the frunk is designed to not only hold small items(without removing divider) as well as can can be used as a cooler. 6) the review car software is not updated for some reason. the volume gauge should be horizontal instead of vertical. 7) the divider in the frunk is not in the 2022 models. they put them in because the emergency escape button is non-functional in 2021 models. This will be fixed in future updates but to this day it is still not fixed. these are just a few things i noticed in your review. can't think of anything else atm tho.

i have taken deliver of the Polestar 2 AWD long range dual motor version last week, luv it. i get the cup holders as for the rear seats its fine for my use. i wont stop driving my ICE car but i think for the simply use i want the E for its a gud fit. have to say i dont mind the Mustang Mach E.

what a quality on those montages.... hats down keep up the good work

So many people make a sweep movement to open the trunk handsfree. But at Ford at least, you just have to make forward-backward movement with your foot

Polestar of the 2 for sure. I don't really understand the link between we want to save the planet by making more efficient cars but pump out endless SUVs, there seems to be a huge gap in the smaller more normal cars. The door opening on the mustang really isn't 73k quality to me.

Both/either cars should retain user settings, especially regarding lane keeping. That being said, seems like a lot of the comparisons really are user preference. Really glad both companies allowed you to compare the cars!

I have a polestar 2 and swapping for a mach e tommorrow. (Company car) all biding time until i have an EQC or Etron sportsback. I love the polestar my car prior to it was a volvo so felt at home. With a family with 2 kids (one of whom is disabled) the boot just wasnt big enough. Saw the mach e was generally bigger so asked to swap. Im hoping the polestar 3 is on my car list whennit comes out as im totally converted to EVs and they are stunning cars. Ill update on the mach e once ive had it a bit

I used to own a Mustang GT(V8) -18 and now a Polestar 2. The 2 is faster and more fun but I miss the cold starts with the GT. The reverse lights is the worst part of the 2. The Mach E is larger and looks pretty good. I will stay with Polestar and hope they improve on steering feel and sports seats.

Just a note on the Mach-E rear passenger door. When the button is pushed and the door pops out a couple centimeters, but before opening the door, the door won't close until it's opened more fully in order to prevent fingers from getting pinched. That was on Jay Leno's Garage review of the Mach-e. Another cool feature is on the rear lift gate. We have an Escape PHEV with the same feature. When parked in the garage, the lift gate would hit the garage door at its largest opening, but, while the door is opening if you hit the close button two times quickly, the door will will be programmed to stop opening at that point. Now, when the door opens, it stops just short of the garage door, and when the door is opened where there's more clearance, you just push the door up to its maximum height.

Misha, these videos are so good even if you don't care for EV's they are still worth watching! Well done.

good review! i think i would pick the Polestar 2 without the performance upgrades and by that have a softer ride and save some cash (specially compared to the stang). and of course download the extra ponies for overtaking 😎 if you ask Polestar nicely you can even get the gold belts without the performance pack.

Twee verschillende ontwerp werelden vergelijken met elkaar, gelukkig is niet iedereens smaak het zelfde. Ik vindt de Polestar 2 een hele mooie auto om te zien. Beetje rare planning dat de Mach-E 6 dagen stof staat te happen voor jij tijd hebt om er mee te rijden Misha.

You did an amazing job Misha. Just a natural :) good review. Thx

I have a GT ( = GT Performance in US) on order. Maybe I will visit the Nurburgring this summer. Looking forward!

simply enjoy the video, nice and honest... thanks for a great job

I was looking at getting a polestar 2 when people said it was a model 3 competitor. Then I saw the price and it was no for me. Too expensive for me. I ordered a Cyber Orange Metallic Mustang Mach-E and have loved it very much. Polestar 2 is a good car from what Ive seen. Though some things would be infinitely annoying, mainly those cup holders. Great video, aside from some noise popping.

This review is leagues ahead of other channels' review of the Mach E. Hope to see more! ☺

The best electric Mustang to me is the "Zombie 222", and exist since at least 6-7 years :D that one is something :D

I saw there are aftermarket handles you can install on the rear doors for the mach e so you have handles you can grab onto like the front doors.

Don't they have a safety feature for closing the door on fingers? I think I saw a video that shows that. when you push the button, the door opens a bit, I think at that moment you can't push the door close without opening it a bit more prior

I’d watch all car reviews like that 👍👍

Why you are not allowed to drive the Mach-E on the Nürburgring? These cars are to drive with!

I don`t like the outside. I like the inside. But for me, having 3 kids, the missing door handles in the back would be the final reason against the Mach E. Anyway, in my area the is no Polestar dealer or service anywhere near. Ford dealer is just 9km away.

It's weird to me that Ford placed an electric SUV under the Mustang brand. Like... as an SUV it seems great - it's comfortable, spatious, a smooth cruiser with good utility *BUT* , and that's a big piece of ass right there :v , as a *Mustang* - being the sporty brand for Ford - compared to the Polestar, I'd take the Polestar all day any day. So, as You've said, it's comparing lemons to oranges: they are both citrusy electrics but one is a sweet SUV and the other one a sour sporty sedan. XD

Thanks for a nice objective review. The Dealbreaker for me on the Mach-E was the low towing capacity (I own a camper) , I really like the looks, and it does drive well enough, it has a more practical interior and you can kinda see out of it. Both cars probably need lowering springs to look great, but with the roads around here the ground clearance is handy. It's funny that Robert thinks it looks a bit like an old Cayenne, because this was my sons reaction the first time he saw pictures of it; 'that looks nothing like a Mustang, that looks like a Porsche' I think with both the Mach E and the Ford Lightning Ford are being conservative on purpose to get people who aren't specifically looking for EV's to buy them.

I have the Polestar 2 now for about 2 months and I totally agree with your pointers, especially the cup holders and back up camera. But like you, I prefer sporty drives. Oh and to add, your videos about the P2 is actually what made seal the deal on getting one. I considered the Mustang GT but it was just way too much.

I ordered my Polestar on 19"wheels with regular suspension for comfort, but I can always update the power to the full 350kW when I get bored. For me, the Polestar was an easy choice with the styling and price.

Misha talks to the bull about milk..😂😂😂 Misha aka chuck Norris

Does Europe get the Mach E gt or gt performance?? I’d be curious how you’d feel about those models

You inspired me to buy a Polestar 2 with your earlier videos, and you even inspired me to take mine to a couple of race tracks! I've never done this kind of driving before and I can't get enough! But yeah, seeing your opinion in more detail, I think I'm in agreement. It's a very comfortable, very sporty EV. If that's what you're looking for, it's perfect.

Amazing review/comparison! You have an amazing neutral way of comparing the 2 cars. Doug DeMuro maybe could learn some stuff from you. I think you should do more video's like this in the future!

Polestar needs to upgrade the P2 platform to an ev dedicated one. Untill there its always behind tesla and other ev platform cars like the mach e in terms of practicality and rigidity

It is quite confusing with the trim levels and horsepower with each trim level. The select trim has 266 bhp, the premium (and California 1) has 346 bhp and GT has 480 bhp.

Funny my 14 explorer xlt had same issues with the gps software and bonnet latch. I fixed the latch with some adjusting and raising it a touch, the software go around was my phone. I would hate to be in the backseat at 6’0 when the driver gets out before me and the seat comes on back and doesn’t stop as it smashes my knees. Your consumer information gathering at the beginning was everything.

23:14 What in the Big Ben alternate universe is that huge watch, the guy in the black tee is wearing??? 😲

Cool video 👍🏻

Bravo, Misha-1.0 😎💪🏼👍🏼

My question, Is it a mustang after all, or do they just use the mustang name and reputation as a selling point of the electric one ?

6:00 - great observation about kids. there's definitely an Emergency Room visit waiting in some families future. those accidents already happen on rear doors that DO have handles. nice car but that's something parents who buy one should be mindful of.

The raised conduit in the middle of the floor in the rear seats of the polestar, and the lack of a rear wiper were dealbreakers for me with the polestar. It rains a lot here so a rear wiper is a must for me. And that floor conduit, dunno what they were thinking adding that. The polestar just feels really claustrophobic for me.

Reverse parking is always better (for safety and other reasons). So I think Polestar is right to put the charging point at the back :).

Sorry to say but video quality is still blury. Im missing realy clear picture in 4k mode like in the "old days". :)

Mach-E: wonder how it works getting into the backseat in cold winter. Does the door register touch as it should, also do you need to take of your glove?

The US cup holder size joke doesn't excuse the dogshit cup holder placement in the Polestar lol

You have such a way with animals I'm jealous

Interesting that this is so expensive in Europe. In the US the Mach E is cheaper. That totally changes the preference for me. I would not pay 10k more for the Mach E

Hello. Polestar Please make a wagon. I will then buy. Rifinarad!

Regarding the chargeport location: the location of the Polestar is better when you want to charge at Tesla chargers. The cable won't reach the location of the Mustang unless you park like a tool ;)

I don't see mustang in this video i think you mesed up with title

Id pick mach E over polestar any day. Model Y is much better comparison against the mach E. Also the thibg with door closing on kids fingers... handle or not, it wiuld happen. You also always open the door then try closing it. If you press the button to open the door, you will NOT be able to puah it close u til you open it first. This is exactly designed in case kids press the button and put their fingers in the way. You missed this detail becausw you always opened that back door past the point that it opens on its own. They also did put the little handle on back door and did a test on it with humans. NO ONE used the handle to open the door so thats why they left it out

Surprised there was no driving though...

Good video

haha great video man

First of all, a really good video, feels strange not to be screaming round the track, that’s not a negative by the way. Why would you mention milk to a field full of bulls? Maybe a herd of mares would have listened? Frankly if the Ford was not branded as a Mustang I might prefer it.

Think you're being fussy, looks like a Porsche Cayenne

Good content as always... You shouldn't say "honest review" kind of implies that some reviews are not. IMHO ;)

Apex taxi crashed! Waiting for a video

Two nice EVs that I might consider. If there were no Tesla.

13:55 it's a American car the cup holders better be good. It's really what we're good at, since we have a hard time making good cars most of the time.

Here is, where the nerd comes in... Misha, its not only numbers at 3:05 , its also units. By the way, that new guy on your channel, that we saw yesterday, where is he now? ;-)

Ironically just passed a black mustang mach e and next street was a polestar, no way does the mustang look 13k more, just in looks alone that is never 73k.

Mach looks better than Volvo. Volvo looks like slob. Mach have better rear leg room than Volvo that's why truck bit smaller than Volvo

What I don't get is why they called it a Mustang? I've never owned an SUV and never plan to ever own one so for me it'd be the Polestar.

I have not tested the Polestar, but my friend has that Mustang. And the thing is... Its NOT a Mustang. Ford developed the car and then realised it was gonna get more expensive tha their target price. So they slapped a Mustang logo on it and made it a bit sporty. But its absolutely NOT a Mustang. American brands have never had a problem with abusing their brand names.

Great video. I have the Polestar 2,as someone who has kids and does a lot of skiing with roof box etc, the car works great for that, the space under the floor and frunk are more useful than initially meets the eye, Polestar for the win. Have driven the Mach E, the quality feel in the interior is definately on Ford level, meaning not even close to premium

Big screen remains me of going to the Drive-ins in the 70s 🤣🤣

I wouldnt milk them cows, they are BULL.S haha

Its a moo point, like a cows opinion, its all moo That was a "friends" reference incase anyone was wondering. You probably weren't, but nevermind, now you know (something completely useless, I should apologise for wasting your time here, really, shouldn't I? This is thirty seconds that you'll never get back, I should start a time share to give back all the time I've stolen over the years, with all the pointless KZfaq posts I make, it would bankrupt me to be honest, but so would a full tank of petrol these days, are you not impressed with how long this sentence is? I shouldn't have asked, to be honest I could've gone longer. I should probably close the bracket now too ) That's probably more than thirty seconds I owe you now, sorry.

Hi MiSHA.. Oh no No NO !! an electric 4door SUV- style Mustang?? Who at FORD Motor Company came up with this silly Idea?? I've always liked FORD Mustangs since the 1960's-70's-80s-90s & into the 21st Century ! BUT this?.. a total travesty & emasculation of the Mustangs heritage & racing history !!! 👎👎☹️👎👎 The person or person's behind this concept ought to be Shot !!

It looks like a decent car, and I certainly have a more positive opinion of it after seeing this video, but for me its got the wrong name. Mustang, as a brand, conjures a specific mental image. Regardless of the generation you know what you’re going to get. American muscle. A strong well defined car, with a lot of straight line power and a sharp silhouette. That’s not what this is. This looks like a good family workhorse. Something practical to take the kids out in, or to drive long distances for holidays. Call it an Escort Mach E, call it a Focus Mach E, hell call it an E-Max, but don’t call it Mustang. This feels like a dilution of a brand, by what should be a capable and celebrated vehicle in its own right.

Mach E is srewed by its performance limiter on the autobahn, even a opel mokka 2014 140 ps is faster than the mustang mach e whoch costs 7 Times as much

The mustang is without a doubt better for someone who enjoys driving. It just isn't going to win over the enthusiast community though

mustang which doesnt look like mustang

I would take the Polestar over the Mach E

Mach e GT top speed is max 200km/h wtf ? A 140hp car can do 220.

In 2024 the Ford Mustang Mach E is cheaper then the polestar.

404 error: mustang not found

Polestar ALL DAY. Misha I want to experience it when I come :O

Lots of strange things with the Ford but the standout worst is the name. Why on earth did Ford think it was a good idea to dilute and destroy the icon Mustang brand?

I'm not sure you want milk from those cows Misha, look a lot like bullocks to me. :D

bro wash that car before you ask for comparison

I hate Ford, but I would take it over the rubbish Volvo because Saab is better than Volvo

The only thing that reminds me of mustang about this car is the name lmao

Owners must spend all their time charging the Mach E. I never see one.

Yeah. Polestar for me.✌

I will never get over the fact about Ford using the trademark 'Mustang' name for an electric crossover. But my honest opinion is all about the Polestar 2 being a far superior option in terms of everyday drive-ability.

Lol

Really disagree on charge ports. Easiest from my experience is right at the nose like leaf, eniro etc. Quick and easy to park up nose forward and plug in. The argument about a crash causing damage is daft. Stop driving right up peoples ass. In front of the front door is the worst location as parking forwards can be an issue at some chargers, with the cable struggling to reach. Also need to walk a bit further to the charger to get cable, walk back to the port, back to the charger to initialise etc. The ideal location (that should be adopted as standard) is nearside rear like polestar 2 and more importantly tesla. As tesla rolls out public access to their network I would only now consider a car that would be compatible with superchargers. The mach-e certainly is not. wrong side for nose-forward parking, and even if it were on the off-side, its too far back for the cable to reach. You have now excluded yourself from probably the most reliable charging network. *edit* Forgot to add that the PS actually looks more like a mustang than the mach-e. i like both cars though but ultimately went for the PS as the PCP here in the UK is a lot more competitive. The balloon payment on the mach-e is much, much lower on the mach-e making monthly payments a lot higher. same reason I excluded the model 3

Moostang.

The beginning of the video tell us all. (Mustang big popo)

To call that thing a Mustang makes me feel ill.

mustang is sooo slow above 150kph

Cheap, cheap hard plastic built in Mexico, thats my opinion about that "Mustang". Would rather wipe my ass without paper than having one.

that is not a mustang sir, that is an abomination..
