Mustang GT: Fall colours are best seen blurred through the window

**As written for The Safe Driver.

 

Autumn is one of the prettiest times of year because nature is in a very visible state of transition — the fiery and earthy colours of the leaves changing are a beautiful fall tradition. For the lovers of muscle cars, it’s a great time to enjoy Toronto’s snow-free roads one last time as the beautiful vistas unfold before you.

This has never been truer than it is today, so when you’re looking for Ford Mustangs in Brampton or Toronto, you’ll get all the modern features to keep connected to your tech along with the guts that has made the Mustang such a beloved sports car for decades. Let’s see what makes this year’s model so special.

A Look under the Hood

The heart of the Ford Mustang is under the hood, and after an inspection of the 2019 Mustang GT Fastback, the heart is healthy indeed! The 5.0L Mustang V8 engine offers a dual-fuel, high-pressure direct injection and low pressure port fuel injection. In jargon-free terms, it delivers no less than 460 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft of torque.

Its performance in that quintessential sports car statistic — the time it takes to go 0-60 — is under four seconds.

Not every car hobbyist is a race car driver, and they may prefer a more accessible driving mode for their daily commute. That’s why there’s an easier to manage manual option on the 6-Speed Manual Transmission with Rev Matching, so you can enjoy a thrilling ride more easily.

Link to Your Tech

Any contemporary car has to easily coordinate with all the latest technological devices, and high performance sports cars are no different. Ford’s patented Sync technology keeps you linked up seamlessly with your smartphone when you’re on the move.

It’ll never be a struggle to use your phone in the car to navigate, stay connected to friends and colleagues, and listen to music. The Mustang also comes with USB ports, so you can keep all your devices charged up.

Drive with Confidence

The 2019 Mustang doesn’t only keep you connected to the latest tech, rather there’s impressive modern technology inside the car itself. The Reverse Sensing System helps you back out of a tight spot with confidence, so you can drive relaxed and don’t have to fear dinging the bumper.

More modern swag includes Intelligent Access with push-button start, a perfect and impressive blend of security and convenience.

Safety Galore

Naturally it’s important for a car that can reach the speeds that Mustangs can to also have serious safety features. The Mustang delivers, with an extra long list of airbags, including: dual front airbags, driver’s knee airbags, front-side side-impact airbag, Glove Box Door-integrated knee airbag, and Safety Canopy side-curtain airbag.

There are a few standard features with the 2019 Mustang that keep the vehicle performing optimally, such as a monitoring system for each individual tire. There’s also a perimeter alarm and a Securilock Passive Anti-Theft System to keep onlookers honest.

The Mustang has been a classic for more than half a century, and today’s models with the old guts but new tech are only more impressive. If you want to see a truly brilliant display of fall colours this autumn, they’ll never look better than when breezing through the car window of a 2019 Ford Mustang.
