2021 Ford Mustang

 When a sleek and sporty Ford Mustang passes you with its throaty burble and retro lines you wish you were seated in this iconic sports car.  Well, dreams do sometimes come true in that all you must do is visit the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and see what happens.  Easy as that.

 

You will find that the 2021 has it all, from a convertible turbo-4 edition to an insanely fast supercharged monster.  Car critics/writers give this new Mustang great reviews starting with Motor Trend that rated it number one in performance coupes.  Consumer Reports awarded the “Tang” one of their coveted “Check Marks” for a Recommended Vehicle with the highest scores for Owner Satisfaction.  That what is owning a car is all about. 

 

This new Ford Mustang looks assertive and aggressive even in base trim and it grows menacing through GT and most certainly in the GT500 models. Mustang performance has never been so sophisticated or wide ranging in horsepower.  The base turbo-4 delivers 310 lively ponies and pulls 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds. The GT's grow rippling V8 muscles with 480 horses in the new Mach 1 or an astonishing 760 anxious horses in the Shelby GT500 where 60 mph is only 3,3 seconds away thanks to 625 lb-ft of asphalt eating torque.  The big news this year is the return of the very popular Mach 1 as it replaces the GT350 and the Bullitt and adds an addition of 20 horses to reach 480 and 420 lb-ft of get-up and go torque. 

 

What the Mach 1 also gets from the GT350 is a Tremer six-speed manual, a track ready suspension, adaptive dampers, and more goodies like cooling upgrades for brakes, engine and transmission that assist in your driving excitement.  The new 2021 Ford Mustang is also a “head-turner” with retro-looks that come with rear quarter windows and roofline cues the fastback “60's” Mustangs with a front end that's nearly as upright. Add on those front-end flares that give the Mustang a substantial but sleek stance and the character lines that flow into the rear end with athletic haunches. Then your big V8 attracts attention with its crackling snorts with the active exhaust sending waves of sound through the cabin and beyond. 

This is a muscle car that you will be proud and very happy to be in.  Hands down.  The new Mustang's interior has hints of retro styling and comes with all the tech you need to keep in touch with the outside world.  The seats are comfy yet sturdy, especially with the premium editions that offer leather and even Recaro racing seats. 

 

The 2021 Ford Mustang is so much fun to be in that you will take it for a drive just because.
