Are there more sensible cars for the price. Yes there are. Do they have a fraction of the mustang wow factor. Yes
More sensible? The mustang goes from R700K - R900K. You can get a Jaguar F-type for that price. You don't need to be sensible in this price rage. There's simply better cars that have more wow too.
The pricing is way out of bounds for what you get. Of course there are people that will buy it. But the world has no shortage of stupid.
Edit: PS. the video FiestaST posted shows the top of the range V8 Mustang goes slower around a track than a *2008* Subaru WRX STI. That's a 7 year old car that cost 1/2 of the Mustang. Can I hear a whaaaaat.

Exchange rate will change the prices of the cars , ford seem to change the prices as the exchange rate changes some brands only change once a year or every six months .
Expect some serious price increases on some vehicles pretty soon .
I have watched the price of the fiesta ST change from 255K to now 280K .
I expect some brands to increase drastically .
That is why some cars seen cheaper at the moment .

Eish even worse than i thought
LoL so R16 000 is going to break the bank when you spend R900K. The base model F-type is much, much superior than the top of the range mustang. The Mustang's interior is craaaaap.
And that was one example. If you have R900K and you even consider the Mustang you deserve what you get.
It's actually R925k if you read Fiestast's post. Point is it isn't in the range of R700k to R900k new.
Well actually, since they aren't limited by quantity you could easily get it for R900K new.
Like I said that was one example.
Way cheaper and waaaaaay better.

I do think the Mustang is a cool car. No doubt. But it aint no R700K-R900K cool.

Another example?

Not only does that car have crazy presence, it technically and in terms of luxury blows the Mustang out of the water. 4.9s 0-100.
Sub R900K new.
Conclusion: When you see a mustang driver in SA, you are looking at the face of a sucker!

Doesn't the s5 do sub 5sec 0-100? Mustang does it in 5.5
The Audi website sucks -_-

LoL, according to that data the Audi cost double that of the Mustang. Here they cost the same :O

*cough*
Depends if we are talking Coupe or Softtop.
S5 Coupe (claimed) 4.9 secs to 100km/h
S5 Cabriolet (claimed) 5.4secs to 100km/h
Not sure why the discrepancy....
The extra weight for stabilizers. Cabriolet's are always slower than the coupe.

Yip but 0.5secs at this levels is fairly "high".
Anyway this is a 'Stang thread not some common Audi thread
