The Ford Mustang is a unique proposition. It’s not only cheaper than its closest rivals, but it’s also better equipped and more powerful (especially in V8 form). However, its running costs aren't exactly parsimonious and it doesn’t handle as sharply as an Audi TT or A5. So, if your heart is set on this piece of Americana, just make sure you’re prepared for the compromises that you’ll have to make when it comes to running one.
