Should You Buy a Ford Mustang Convertible?! // 2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible REVIEW

  • The 2024 Ford Mustang GT surprised us. Even though this Ford Mustang convertible was equipped with the 5 liter Coyote V8 engine and a six speed manual transmission, it was an absolute joy to live with and perfectly suited to daily driver duties. The Mustang GT is the last of its kind, and Ford has done just enough to freshen up the Mustang GT and differentiate it from the previous generation. The new Ford Mustang has gorgeous high resolution screens in place of gauges, but you can famously switch the gauge cluster to that of the Fox body Ford Mustang if you so desire. The Coyote V8 is powerful and makes excellent noises, and the six speed manual in the Ford Mustang is shockingly easy to row and has a fantastic rev matching feature. The Ford Mustang is as famous as it is because it flatters the driver, and it makes you feel more special than you actually are. Is the new Ford Mustang GT perfect? No, the chassis isn't as good as the outgoing Chevy Camaro and the steering is vague for such a powerful and sporty car. Still, most people drive Ford Mustangs at 7/10ths and never get into a situation where that much steering precision is necessary. (You can tell when it is because that's right around the time it plows into a crowd.) All jokes aside, the Ford Mustang GT is a fast and fun car that outfitted properly is still somewhat affordable for the common man... which is probably why the Ford Mustang legacy endures long after its competitors have faded into automotive history. As a Chevy guy who has a C5 Corvette, the Ford Mustang GT won me over, even in convertible form. It's great fun, and it's absolutely worth checking out.

    Why the slam on convertibles? What other V8 ragtop options are there? Convertible owners shouldn’t want wider tires and great brakes?

    Also, as a tall Mustang owner I can confirm that I also sit a little higher in the cabin than I’d prefer. Otherwise it’s super comfy and I really enjoy the interior.

    I feel torn on the new Mustang. As an S550 owner, I didn’t feel like they changed the look enough. It felt more like a refresh than an all new machine. I think the deal killer for me is that the steering is still not great. I was shocked at how numb my steering felt in my Mustang after even comparing it to the giant CX-9. I have loved owning a Mustang, but I definitely want a better handling vehicle for my next (assuming I’m lucky enough to be able to replace it with a performance car and not a van).

      This is true. The new Mustang is trading hard on vibes and pageantry, not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does have some imperfections

    I loved the review! Insightful takes on the options and various aspects of the car. I do need some help though…considering a loaded GT premium conv but wondering how people think it would compare to my 2014 Audi RS5 conv. Both have similar hp V8, but coyote has way more torque. Audi has adjustable JHM exhaust, sport brakes, lightweight Vossens wrapped with pilot 4SPS. Does Mustang feel like a “toy” quality-wise? I am afraid of feeling like I would be making a downgrade. My car is 10yrs old now - it is almost new condition - better than new with upgrades and has under 35k on it. Wife hates how low it is…I think I need more of just a car and less German beast. What the hell do I do? Anyone have experience with both an Audi and Mustang? Thanks in advance!

    I don't agree that the convertible isn't capable of performance handling. It's opinion not based on data. Run the coupe and convertible on a road course with a pro driver. Then review the results.
