I’ll never drive a Ford Mustang again

Ford Mustang banned
You can imagine how chuffed I was, painting a set of 11s on the tarmac during my first drive of a manual Ford Mustang GT with its hearty naturally aspirated V8 engine.
In fact, it was around this time last year that I was singing its praises on social media. It all culminated at the end of last year when we ran our performance car test at Motorworld.
I flung the Mustang around the track and was blown away with how dynamic it felt, for such a big car, and how enjoyable it was to drive at its limits.
That all came crashing down this week when we received a media release from local crash-testing body ANCAP. I thought the title was a mistake: “Ford Mustang scores concerning 2 star safety rating.” (Read the story here.)
It wasn’t a mistake. The car I and thousands of other Australians had fallen in love with, scored one of the worst test results in ANCAP history.
What’s even worse is that it’s now been revealed that ANCAP approached Ford multiple times through 2016 to see if they could supply a vehicle for crash testing. The organisation even looked at purchasing a vehicle, but, thanks to the Mustang’s popularity, the waiting list was simply far too long.
ANCAP had to approach its European sibling, Euro NCAP, to ask for the vehicle to be tested. It’s an important test, because it was the highest-selling vehicle on the Australian market without a crash rating. It’s also a vehicle that was being reviewed as a new highway patrol vehicle for police
