2020 Ford Mustang review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Ford Mustang?

The Ford Mustang is a rear-wheel-drive, four-seat sports car that goes head-to-head with the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. It’s available in coupe and convertible body styles and five main trims: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium and the throwback Bullitt. High-performance versions include the Shelby GT350 and GT350R, along with the new Shelby GT500.

What’s New on the 2020 Ford Mustang?

A new High Performance Package features a version of the turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that’s rated at 330 horsepower — 20 hp more than the regular version. The package also includes aerodynamic, suspension and brake parts from the GT Performance Package. The FordPass Connect telematics system is now standard.

What Features in the 2020 Ford Mustang Are Most Important?

The base EcoBoost models come with a 310-hp, turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, and the GT gets a 460-hp, 5.0-liter V-8. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic.

Standard equipment on the base Mustang includes remote keyless entry, Sync connectivity, cruise control and manual air conditioning. Optional features include a touchscreen multimedia system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity, heated and ventilated front seats, rear parking sensors and dual-zone automatic air conditioning.

Available active safety features include forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and automatic high-beam headlights.

Should I Buy the 2020 Ford Mustang?

The Mustang hits all the right retro buttons for muscle car enthusiasts; with a wide range of performance options, the venerable pony car is stronger than ever. It delivers style and powerful acceleration — especially with the available V-8 engines. Granted, the performance models have firmer rides, and the rear seat is best for kids or extra luggage. Yet, when it comes to bang-for-the-buck, the Mustang remains a thrilling choice.

It's a hot rod!

September 25, 2023
By Ranger from Rockford Minnesota
Owns this car

I love this car. So many mods can be done to make it your own and unique to you. Move currently produces more hp than a stock GT 350. The looks and performance are outstanding for a car in this price range. My only gripes are that occasionally one of the mirrors (actually happens on both sides just not at the same time) will go all the way in one direction until it can't go anymore then click constantly until you press that mirror and touch the manual adjust button. Then you can hit your pre set of you have one and everything will be fine. It's always when I unlock the car to get in that this happens and it's totally random. If course the dealer can never find anything wrong with it. My other gripe was that on occasion it wouldn't recognize my fob. The only way I could start the car was to lift up the cup holder mat and stick the fob in the slot. But then if I went somewhere and turned the car off, it would be fine. Again totally weird and random. Overall though, I wouldn't give this car up for anything. So much fun to drive, and the sound of that V8 exhaust just gets the blood flowing. Not to mention the all the looks you'll get from people.

This car is awesome!

Bought my 2020 Bullitt in January of this year and took delivery in mid April (it’s cold and snowy here in Wisconsin). Been wanting a muscle car since I was a teenager (I’m 62) and the Bullitt just spoke to me. What a car! 480 HP, 6 speed manual, active exhaust, fantastic dark highland green color and super fast. This car is the real deal! Even my wife likes it. It’s my summer fun car and I doubt I’ll ever sell it!

Mustang GT premium manual

May 2, 2023
By J from Orlando, Florida
Owns this car

I have a 2020 Mustang GT premium with a manual transmission. This car is fun, but at times the transmission can be frustrating while you are learning how to skip gears while accelerating so as not to be locked out of gear. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought the Mustang Mach 1 with a manual transmission. Other than a few electronic problems, the car has been decent and is comfortable in the premium trim.
