Just saw a report where it was said that the NSW highway patrol will use Mustangs when the brakes are brought up to Police standards.Wouldn't it be logical to bring all Mustang brake systems up to standard

Well I saw a black vert eco for the first time yesterday and I have to say I was underwhelmed as well.

Saw one at a dealer in Melb yesterday, first one in the flesh and looked great. Sitting in the drivers seat felt awesome and as for all the critical stuff about the interior quality, didn't notice it was too busy grinning 😁
Only thing I would say is I am not overly tall and with the seat set up for me there was very little legroom in the back, really just for kids. But you don't buy a stang for its back seat comfort so not really an issue.

Would buy one in a blink if that's what I was after, if anyone wants a look it's Chadstone Fords dealer demo and a 4 cyl Eco version

That's weird, cause they certainly pull up better than anything from FoMoCo i've driven....

They may have been referring to the Ecoboost model as the V8's have 6 pot discs

Saw one on the highway tonight with all 3 bars lit up, just like the second photo. Exited the highway before getting a chance to see him use his indicators. Is this how the Aus delivered ones work at night, or has the owner changed the lights to USDM spec?

The "small antenna at the rear of the roof" is for optional satellite radio.
