Personally I think this looks terrible. The whole insert should be one color, including the diffusor. Easily fixed with Plastidip though.

I like the diffuser done in two colours. Suppose different folks have different opinions and as you said plastidip will change it easily.

Test drive is kind of limited - each group gets car for short drive, first group was from GE, UK, FR, IT etc. People from Poland ar in second.

I would say (I'm biased obviously), that it's one of the best reviews I have read. Some highlights:

- They absolutely love the shifter. Tougher, but very precise, mechanical feel. Excactly what you want from a car like that. They say they have not driven a car with such a good shifting for a long time.
- The EB has a softer, but not delayed throttle response very little turbo lag, for a car that heavy it is very lively. The GT is very entertaining, with a strong pull from the bottom of the rev range and sound coming not only from the exhaust but under the bonnet as well.
- They compare the EB sound to the Subaru WRX STi, just a bit louder. They say that the GT sound is spectacular, but the EB sound is a very pleasant surprise.
- They love the fact that none of the cars have the stupid start-stop system
- The convertible body is not so good, but the fastback turns surprisingly sharp. The convertible also has a lot of wind going in, so they finally drove with the roof on.
- They were surprised how well it deals with road holes. Though the suspension is tough, it is very comfortable and will be great for long rides

The overall conlusion is that Ford did a car that is hard to beat at this and even more expensive price range. They compare the car to the BMW M3 E92 and are very excited about it.

They also love the versatility "Want a good drift and lots of fun? No problem! Want a fast ride on a twisty road? Here you go! Have a long journey? No problem, the car is cultivated, no noise from the wheels or undercarriage, you travel just like driving a Focus with a great soundtrack".

So that's about it. Overall very positive

Thanks for your summary, I'm having a hard times trying to read it, and google translate is almost useless in these cases

Do not worry about that, here in Czech we mostly don't understand each other Our language is next-to-chinese level complicated...

 

[Notes]

Short review but sweet!

“The visceral look, sound and performance of Mustang resonate with people, even if they’ve never driven one. Mustang is definitely more than just a car – it is the heart and soul of Ford.”
