The Mustang Mach-E is legitimately one of the best non-truck cars Ford has made.
Very impressed with the build quality and effort they put into it. As much as people whine about the name, the car itself is way higher quality than I expected from Ford. It has so many little details/extra features that show they didn't just phone in an EV like Toyota. I got a 2025 premium and the longer I have it, the more I'm impressed by it.
- Phone as a key is so awesome, not sure why it's only available on F150, Expedition, and Mach-E but I can't live without it now. Also love the welcome lighting and pony puddle lamp.
- Interior is so much nicer than the other Ford's I've driven/been in besides top trims of certain models.
- Reliability so far is really solid. This guy's 2022 has 300k miles on it and battery is still at 90% health. Little to no maintenance.
- Performance is fantastic. 0-60mph in 4.1s (on my trim, not GT) is on par with the actual Mustang. Handling is also great for a crossover/SUV, it's a really fun car to drive for how comfortable it is. It's one of the reason I chose it over other EVs.
I feel like the car is over hated just because of the name and feel like they should've omitted the "Mustang" part, but at the same time, I personally really enjoy the pony emblems on it and the pony puddle lighting and the Mustang style headlights/taillights. Wish more people would give it a chance.
EDIT: A lot of people don't understand marketing huh? Thinking the Mustang name really hurt sales is non-sensical. The venn diagram of die hard Mustang fans and prospective EV buyers is basically non-existent. No one is cross shopping the Mach-E with a Mustang lol and no EV buyer is like "Wow I really like the Mach-E but because they called it Mustang, I'm going to get an Ioniq/Tesla instead". What Ford didn't do a good job of was actually marketing all the extra features, because I didn't know about half of them until owning the car lol. A big one for me is that the Ford Pass App is free, and you can schedule the remote start.
