2015 Ford Mustang Convertible - Dallasweekly
Ford said the return of the Mustang fastback enabled a more steeply sloped windshield that was unaltered on our convertible. That convertible top was semi-automatic – it had to be manual unlatched before retracting into its compartment just behind the rear seats. Under the hood of our test car was the Mustang’s new 2. 3 liter EcoBoost (read turbocharged) four-cylinder engine. Mated to a six-speed automatic (a six-speed manual is available) our test car was awfully quick. It lacked the grunt of power that was common in past Mustangs, even the V6s. However, under aggressive acceleration we heard that purr of power from this potent engine. We think some engineering prowess to put a little more grunt in the exhaust of the Mustang’s 2. 3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine wouldn’t be a bad thing. This engine got a respectable 20 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway and 24 mpg combined. Cornering was great, braking was true and the car was really easy to drive. What’s more, though the Mustang had grown, it was still small compared to a midsize sedan yet did not drive or feel that way. The Mustang has been outfitted with a double-ball-joint front MacPherson strut system that allowed for bigger brakes. Source: www.dallasweekly.com
