there are still taxes you need to pay after buying it though
At the moment, you pay £1,120 in tax for the first year and then £515 for the years after that.

They are changing it in April though, meaning if you buy a Mustang GT from April 2017, you pay £2000 in the first year, then £140 in the years after that. so if anyone is planning on buying one now, it makes sense to wait a few months and save a load of money.

There's also the £20 to £40 yearly inspection once the car reaches 3 years old, but if you actually look after your car it will never fail. Even then, if it does, I believe you're supposed to get a free re-inspection within 7 days (or the garage I've been to is just nice)

There's also insurance. If you're 19 like I am, it's going to be £5000+ for a year if you live in a good area.
If you're 50+ like my dad you can insure everything from a diesel Polo to an Audi RS4 for under £400. The GT came out at £383 for him

In the UK, the GT is stupidly popular. Virtually every single new Mustang I've seen is a GT.

I've seen 3 new GTs in Scotland so far, and I don't even live in Edinburgh/Glasgow.
So weird seeing Mustangs in RHD. Not as big as I expected them to be either.

...

I'm dutch,

it boils down to
NO FUN ALLOWED.

You drive a tesla for less than a mustang.

I appreciate both cars and test drove them both before making my final decision.

The Mustang is a great car, The seats were comfy the lay out was easy to figure out immediately you could see out to your blind spot by turning your head.

But to say the visibility is great is a bit of a reach, At least forward the hood is long and quite bulbous itself so figuring out where the end is takes a bit of getting used to.

The car I test drove and nearly bought was a 2016 GT Premium, 6 spd, 401A with non recaro's (if it wasn't for the shady dealership, i would of bought it)

The clutch was very numb and soft, the shifter felt alright but I didn't have any issues driving it (no stalling or anything) and the suspension was a bit softer than I'd like for a performance pack, You could feel some body roll in the sharp corners but it wasn't really bad... It was definitely Mustang if you've ever driven the last generation.

I test drove and ultimately bought a Camaro... I drove the 8 speed automatic first (bought 6 speed manual) and liked it, The shifts were lightning quick and it didn't feel like it was hunting for the right gear like most other automatics.

The suspension felt tight and the mag ride control did a great job at switching between soft to harsh, the steering is very direct and reminded me a lot of my 370z where the slightest input had immediate response on the front wheels.

Visibility is pretty bad, but its not great in the 370z either... I'm used to having a bad blind spot, I just adjust my mirrors to where i'm not seeing my car in them so I can see my blind spot that way... I'm having a hard time finding the nose in parking spots so it has that in common with the mustang but I don't feel blind driving it and besides the rear view camera I think the blind spot sensors are not necessary on it.

Everything the Mustang is, the Camaro is just a step or 2 above.

i can fit an entire wheel/tire in there. i dunno what more you need

It comes down to CO2 tax and 21% sales tax. Basically V8 is in the highest CO2 tax bracket so the price gets pretty much doubled, and then 21% sales tax goes ON TOP OF THE GRAND TOTAL.

The Ecoboost, meanwhile, sits in a lower CO2 tax bracket, so it doesn't get fucked as bad.
