'14 GT, no options

2014 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
After taking my time and driving all manner of "budget" performance cars, I've purchased a brand new '14 GT, $0 in options. No auto trans, no apps, no nothing. V8 with 3 pedals. Bluetooth would've been nice, but not for $1500. You can do better for way less. Cloth seats are great, sound is decent from stock radio. Stock radio reads data MP3 CDs, so if you're thinking of going stock radio … don't be deterred because it lacks the USB input. Standard HID headlights and LED tail lights are awesome. The car handles bumps and turns well with stock suspension. If you need a 4 seat car, forget this. [non-permissible content removed].
After 3 years, no regrets!

2014 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
On the 4th of July weekend, 2014, I went shopping for a new sports car. My budget was under $25k, not including my $9k trade-in. The V6 Camaro was the easiest to drive, but lacked visibility. The Dodge Challenger was the smoothest ride but only the V6 was within my budget. The Mustang GT has a 420 HP V8, 6 speed auto, and was the same price as the other two and way more fun to … drive. Looking back over the last three years I have no regrets. I think my 2014 'live axle' GT looks better, sounds better, is quicker in the 1/4 mile straight run, and feels like it has more room for the driver, than the 'independent rear' 2015+ model Ford replaced it with. The Ford Mustang GT is the 'most-bang-for-the-buck' new muscle car you can buy today.
14 GT Up to task!

2014 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
So this is my 3rd GT, 1st was an '05 automatic which was bulletproof. 2nd was an '07 manual 5spd, great car. In Oct. '15 picked up this '14 used with 37k miles. Got a nice deal. Mileage was kinda high but I'm hoping this one will last me at least 4 more yrs. Have 65k miles now. So far this car has been great! Only real complaint is the clunky 2 piece transmission. It clunks sometimes … going from 1st to 2nd gear and occasionally 3rd gear, especially driving normal. like just cruising around town. Also, when sitting in neutral, then shifting into 1st there is a thump. I was told the center carrier bearing was worn out because it flexes up and down, but I believe it does that purposely because of the 2 piece design. The car is rated at 420 HP, so power at the rear wheels is probably more like 380, maybe less, like 350. Despite the clunky trans, I've got 65k miles and she's been rock solid so far. I had to do a lot of driving for a sick relative where I was driving almost 3k a month for 4 months. Gas MPG went up during those trips. I was averaging almost 27-28 mpg, which I think is good for today's muscle car. Definitely fun to drive, I just added Borla stingers on 8/2/17 and I'm so glad I did! Wow! I had MagnaFlow before which were ok, but the Borla really clears her throat, with no drone either!!!!! I'm not gonna complain about the backseat or plastics in the interior. I didn't buy it for that. I will say no spare tire. I need to address that. If I get a flat, then I'll be waiting for the Tow truck. I'll probably buy one soon. If your looking for a V8 muscle car on a budget, I'd say the mustang gt will check every box you need. Challengers are heavier, you can't see out of the Camaro's. Mustang's have the right mix of streetability and performance with bang for your buck. As far as gas goes, I usually run 87, then 91 every 5th tank or so. I always run full synthetic oil. Usually get about 7500-8500 miles between changes.
Lots of car can equal lots of fun!

2014 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
I purchased my 2014 GT (base), automatic with 50,000 miles on it but was taken care of and overall, couldn't even tell it had that many miles on it. This was actually my third Mustang owned, but my first GT model. And as a result, I will never go back to the V6. The V8 is a bulletproof engine and with the 420 hp that its putting out, it's a force to be reckoned with. It handles well … for a muscle car, has good visibility for its size & styling, the acceleration is top notch, and the interior, while basic, just works and is moderately well-put together. It's a muscle car, not a luxury car and it doesn't try to be anything else. In the year and a half that I owned it, along with adding 20,000 more miles to the odometer, the car had very little to no mechanical problems and the only work that needed to be done was updating the break pads and changing the oil. I have since then had to sell the car do to growing family needs. I honestly wish I could've had more time with it because as a daily driver, it was simply a joy like none other. Every drive didn't feel like an event unless you wanted it to be and it could accommodate lead foots or easy cruise drivers. So overall, if you want a fun, reliable, and fast ride then look no further than the 2013-2014 Mustang GT!
