What are customers saying about the Ford Mustang in Dubai, UAE
Sultan - Got myself a pre-owned V6 Ford Mustang convertible a year or so ago, and it’s a great car for the UAE. In the summer I can put the roof up and chill out with the A/C on full blast and during the winter I can put it down and soak up all the beautiful weather we have here. Pros: Looks good and has decent options. Cons: Even with a V6 fuel economy isn’t good.
Kamran - I wanted to buy something powerful, has good looks and is available at a good price. I found out about the Shelby GT500 Coupe, I had to export a second hand one from the States to Dubai as they are never up for sale, and I can see why. It’s an absolutely phenomenal machine. The noise it creates and the manual transmission is the best part. Pros: Manual transmission and power. Cons: Hard to find in the UAE.
Emad - My import used Ford Mustang GT 5.0 is incredible, the noise it makes is just amazing and attracts attention everywhere you go. I’m tempted to buy a new exhaust system to maximise the sound. And now that the Shelby GT350 is coming, I can’t wait to get my hands on it! Pros: Engine and looks. Cons: Fuel economy.

About the Ford Mustang
First launched in 1965 as a ‘pony car’, when it hit the road for the first time, the cars sparked a massive outbreak in the American auto industry as consumers just couldn’t get enough of them. It also caught the attention of Dodge and Chevrolet manufacturers who introduced their very own muscle cars. For over half a century, the American Rivals have been trading the top step in the segment, but one name always stands out: Ford Mustang.
Mustangs don’t just have a rich heritage on the road; they have a strong racing background too. With multiple wins across top American racing scenes like NASCAR and the NHRA, they also have success overseas.
Even though the Mustang has been around for over 50 years, we’ll just briefly go over the classic models including the not so fantastic versions.

As previously mentioned, this was the first generation of the iconic vehicle and compared to features in today's standard even top trim levels. Four seats were standard as well as manual locking and manual wind down windows. High-level trims include manually operated leather seats and very rarely a tuner radio.
Mustangs of this generation are available as a coupe or convertible. Trims include; Mach 1, Boss 302 and Boss 429 are amongst many others. Towards the end of the generation, minor refreshes were visible including a wider front end which appeared more open and minor changes everywhere else.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via either a manual or automatic transmission. Over the years many iterations of the V8 and inline-six cylinder motors are available. Over the years, the engine was tweaked and tinkered with higher output.

Entering its second generation, the Mustang II was launched during rough times as two months later; the 1973 Oil Crisis struck the world. Not just that, Japan’s Toyota Celica and Europe’s Ford Capri both started gaining momentum taking sales away from the Pony Car.
Exterior wise, this generation was smaller than before but weighed more as more equipment had to be added to adhere to new rules and regulations around the world.
Sticking with a rear wheel setup, an inline four cylinder motor was added to the mix alongside the V6 and V8 power units mated to either an automatic or manual transmission. Ford engineers worked hard on tweaking all returning engines to have a lower fuel consumption.
Trim levels through this generation include Mach 1, Ghia, Stallion, King Cobra, Cobra II and a handful of others. All were available in coupe and convertible body styles.

When the third generation rolled in, the American giant had two distinct front ends customers could attach and a Boxy appearance. During the early years, models had four headlights and are most commonly referred to by enthusiasts as “four eyes”. In the last few years, these lights were replaced by a smoother unit.
Four passengers can fit inside, and although the rear end decreased in size from previous generations, rear occupants can still fit comfortably.
Throughout the year's body styles include convertible and coupe all available in a multitude of trims: L, GL, GLX, LX, GT, GTS, Turbo GT, GT-350, SVO, Cobra, Cobra R and Ghia. All had distinct characteristics to tell each one apart; various engines hid under the bonnet ranging from an inline four to a V6 with different displacements and of course the legendary 5.0 V8. Power is exclusive to the rear wheel by a selection of gearboxes, 4 or 5-speed manual or 3 and 4-speed automatic shifters.
Towards the end of the generation, Ford was in talks with Mazda to possibly create their very own variant of the Mazda MX-6. However, loyal fans of the pony car weren't happy about this and wrote angry letters to the brand about the proposed vehicle with no V8 option and a front-wheel drive platform. Ford listened to the outcry and changed the proposed model to the Ford Probe.

After the final 2014 model rolled out of the factory, Ford immediately went to work on the sixth generation. Now sporting a much smaller and curvaceous body, the front end features a tighter front end with redesigned headlights, increased lines running down either side and a reworked rear end that still gives a shark like feel. Although it appears smaller in comparison, current generation models measure 3.8 cms in width. They also sit 3.5 cms closer to the ground.
2015 saw the re-introduction of the four-cylinder motor with a 2.3-litre displacement. Aided by the company’s EcoBoost system, it proved to be an engine worthy of powering the rear wheels of an icon. Of course, both the V6 and V8 are available mated to an automatic gearbox or manual for those who want more control.
Standard and optional features all transitioned across into the latest generation along with new options to rival other new age muscle cars. This includes navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless start and cooled seats.
These models were the first to be equipped with independent rear suspension. In true Mustang passion, these models are also available in coupe and convertible body types.
Additionally many editions of the Coupe exist including; F-35 Lighting II, 50 years Limited, Warrior, Shelby GT350R and the upcoming GT500.
2018 models are expected to receive a light fresh that not only includes a reworked front end inclusive of the grille and the bumper, but the lights at both ends are also set to change ever so slightly as is the back bumper. A 10-speed automatic gearbox is to make it's debut inside the pony car, bringing the fight right back to the Camaro as they too have announced a similar gearbox. Interior options are said to receive a boost as well.
Sixth generation models will set you back AED 71,000.
