THOUGHTS ON THE FORD MUSTANG MACH-E FROM A SHELBY GT350R OWNER!

EV Channels Review

As a Shelby GT350R owner, the reviewer expresses initial skepticism about the Ford Mustang Mach-E, particularly its branding as a Mustang. While acknowledging the styling's nods to the Mustang lineage and praising the interior quality and technology as superior to traditional Mustangs, the reviewer finds it doesn't deliver the raw, exciting driving experience expected from a Mustang. The Premium AWD trim, tested here, is described as a competent and comfortable daily driver, with good steering feel and a pleasant interior, but it understeers in corners and lacks the performance pedigree of its gasoline-powered siblings. The reviewer notes range anxiety, with real-world range falling short of the EPA estimate, and dislikes the door-opening mechanism. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the Mach-E is a very good electric car and an excellent daily driver, capable of attracting new customers to the Ford brand, though it doesn't fulfill the Mustang nameplate's performance expectations for an enthusiast.
