Yep the MY18 onwards sound so much better, guy who lives opposite my Mum has an MY18 orange one and the stock exhaust burble is simply glorious, was one of the best improvements the facelift made was the valved exhaust and magneride suspension.

For a stock exhaust they sound great, even without the active exhaust.
Just got in from driving mine to a customer and it makes me smile every time. Acceleration peaked at 1.45G too which I found impressive.

There was a 5.0 backwards in a ditch this morning on the A45 near Brackmills, Northampton, judging by the skid marks he’d ran out of talent joining the dual carriageway, probably by doing just what you advise against!

Thats very impressive fuel economy!
Yeah I "only" get 30MPG with my V6 by driving with some thought to fuel economy.
One of the things that impresses me with my truck is just how well the electronics keep it inline for a RWD vehicle with a lot of torque albeit probably should be the case as they borrowed heavily from the 370Z in development of it and possibly have a bit of R&D from other Nissan performance cars in there. But that is no V8 Mustang.

It does deserve respect, but it isn't as bad as everyone makes out with TC on and good tires.

The wife's one has Michelin Pilot Sport 4S fitted which are meant to be much better than the Pirelli's on the 2015/17 however it is very easy to get the back out at pretty much every junction. As you say you just need to show it some respect and not be lead footed 24/7.

What spec have you ordered?Hopefully I'm getting mine next week, not sure learning how the Mustang handles in winter is going to be good for my health

To be fair they are, as has been said, not as bad as people make out unless you are a complete lead foot. They are fairly communicative standard, and if you do a few very simple and extremely cost effective mods, such as rear cradle Lockout Kit kit and front sub frame 'K' brace, and differential bushing insert swap out, then it really does make a huge difference to the handling and makes it into a very easy to control car that lets you know exactly what is happening and is very easy to balance and control at extremes.
In fairness when I test drove it the handling was much better than I'd been led to believe. But that's not quite the same as driving it day in day out.
Plus I'm currently stuck in an awful performance Kia Sportage which drinks diesel (my old car went back pre-Christmas). There may be a performance shock coming to my system.
