New 2015 Mustang. Will you want one?

[Yeshe]

Then you own the car once you have fully cleared the finance. :)

 

yes, so MAS regulation nothing to do with ones ability to own a car.

 

able to buy and able to own is different.

You're not making any sense.

 

Anyway thanks for sharing your opinion.

 

Let's not go OT.

American "pony" car ... long hood, short rear.

Its 5L V8 or nothing bro

 

No matter how powerful that 2.3L Ecoboost is, its still a tiny 4 cyln  Muscle cars is about big power from idle onwards, not torque o/p that shoots  up and down across the rpm and the need to rev hard just to get big power. 

 

And an exhaust note that sounds like a sewing machine...    How macho can that be?

 

Has regent brought in the 5L V8 6MT Mustang already? PI already done so

In Sg, badge & looks is important.  What goes underneath the bonnet is not important.

 

Ford Mustang with 888cc ppl still buy as long as it is cheap.

Ehh.... how prestige is the Ford badge in SG anyway? Regent is not known for their services and after sales

 

And Ford Europe average reliability remains a big worry... not much better than VW. That Ford 5-6speed dual clutch gb... really OMG... My girl... I mean close fren... have a current model Ford Fiesta in Bangkok and that GB is a constant bitch to have. Jerk when moving off, whole car shudder when starting off from a slope. Helped her talk to Ford dealer in BKK also no use. They cannot fix whats essentially a design flaw.

 

Granted the Mustang is a true blue yankee machine so reliablity will be better than any Ford sold in SG so far, but how many sinkies can relate to that? Some may think the Mustang may be from Thailand since we have the Ford Ranger and Everest for sale here as well.

 

Anyway this Mustang is not a superbly agile handler out of the factory. If you need a great handling muscle car, you will need to buy a Camaro.

Agree that Ford is not very popular in Sg. 

 

Ford Fiesta in Thailand is using the old engine and gearbox, and it is made in Thailand. Whereas Ford Fiesta Sg is using the new 1.0 Ecoboost Engine and PowerShift dual clutch gearbox made in Germany. FYI, Ford & VW uses dual clutch gearbox from different manufacturer, Getrag and BorgWarner. Even so, VW has also been improving on their geabox reliability issues.

 

The best selling car in Europe is still the Golf & Fiesta. So I guess they probably thinks that reliability is not a factor they consider while buying car? 

 

Every brands has their pros and cons and unique features. One man's meat is another man's poison. 

 

FYI, right hand drive Mustang is currently only being built in Flat Rock, Michigan. Mustang is still more popular in the world compared to Camaro as of 2015. However, if the Camaro is available in Sg I'm sure it'll be a great competition to the Mustang. Till then, Mustang shall be dominating the American Muscle title in Sg.

 

Just sharing.

To each his own. Some people might just want it's unique looks. Anyway, exhaust sound aside, the 2.3 ecoboost is already outperforming most of the old mustangs. I mean, this car in the late 90s, had 140hp from a 4.7 litre engine!

 

But if its 255k, unless you just want the looks, a S45,3/440i,XE S is a better deal even if a bit more expensive.

 

The 5.0 I sat in really had cheapish interior and not so good build quality.

[Thaiyotakamli]

no need as long as u keep buying the COE, still owning it

Thats called rental extension

[yokechye]

[Porche]

Saw one newly registered at toh guan the other day

[Ake109]

You technically own the car lah, just that you don't have the right to use it on a public road.

 

You are free to park it as an ornament on your private land as long as you want.

[Jq1988]

You don't get to "own" a car in Sg anyway.

 

Yes, we don't own a car in sg. After 10 years, scrap!!! Want to keep , pay money $$$

[Benjamintwk]

So which year-make of the Mustang will come to Singapore? 

[Keei]

We don't own anything in SG. What we are using are just rental from the Gov, which is somehow worded to make you feel you are the owner. 

 

Yes, Mustang is sweeett.... Makes sense in US & sells well there. But in SG, with the tax scheme based on car CC. It's illogical to buy this car in SG.

Wah.... 255K for 2.4 ecoboost

 

http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/trim/shelbygt350r/

 

For 5.2L Ti-VCT V8 in US is 63,095 = SGD 84,547

For equivalent 2.4 USD 31,440 =  SGD  42,123.90 

 

Imagine how much taxes & middle man transaction fees we pay to get this sucker to shore.

 

It will only be a dream car in SG, nothing more.......

2016 manufacturing year. Anyway, factory has stopped taking orders for RHD (Right Hand Drive) Mustang due to overwhelming demand from the LHD market. So, to fulfil the LHD market orders, next batch of Mustang and Focus RS coming to Sg will likely to be in the end of 2017.
