2025 FORD EXPEDITION

FORD’S LARGES SUV MOVES INTO FIFTH GENERATION WITH UPDATED INTERIOR 

Fully redesigned for 2025, the Ford Expedition moves into its fifth generation since making its debut as a 1997 model.

Most of the changes from the previous generation are found inside where the spacious cabin gets a new 13.2-inch
touchscreen for operating infotainment functions and a 24-inch instrument display for the driver. There is less plastic and more soft surfaces as a general upgrade.

Top trims like the King Ranch that served as my test vehicles rival its Lincoln cousin Navigator in plushness with abundant leather upholstery and two-tone brown and wood accents that exude the aura of a luxury level vehicle.

In addition to the King Range, the 2025 Ford Expedition is offered in Active trim (which serves as the base with a starting MSRP of $64,515), Platinum trim, ($76,945), and a new Tremor edition ($83, 545).

The base engine is a twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter V6 with 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Also available in “Max” versions of the Active, Platinum, and King Range trims is a high-output, 3.5L V6 that ups horsepower to 440 and torque to 510 lb.-ft. 

Each engine is matched to its own version of a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard with 4-wheel available. Towing capacity is 9,600 pounds for 4X4 models.

Legroom is identical in both standard and Max versions with second- and third-row legroom a max 42.2 and 36.5 inches, respectively. If you slide the second row forward, you lose about an inch but passengers in the far back get a whopping 43.5 inches of legroom. (I’m not sure how the math on that works but but that is straight from the spec sheet.)

Standard interior features on my test 2025 Ford Expedition King Range included heated and ventilated front seats, power folding rear seats, Del Rio leather door trim, power adjustable tilt and telescoping steering wheel and pedals, tri-zone climate control, and a 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium sound system.

Standard exterior features included a capless fuel filler, LED reflector headlamps, trailer sway control, signature grille lighting and signature tail lamps, a panoramic sunroof, roof side rails, and rain-sending wipers.

Driver assist safety features are numerous across all trims. They include a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, auto high beams, blind spot assist with traffic alert and trailer coverage, evasive steer assist, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, lane-keeping system,  pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, trailer hitch assist, and post-collision braking.

All that is included in the base MSRP of $85,680 (including the destination and delivery fee). Ford’s Blue Cruise hands-free driving assist was among options that ran the final total to $86,645.

That puts the King Ranch at the top of the pricing for the 2025 Ford Expedition, but it still is about $12,000 under that for the base Lincoln Navigator.

What I liked about the 2025 Ford Expedition King Ranch: The huge, premium interior offers excellent room for both passengers and their stuff. Most adults would be comfortable sitting in the third row and cargo volume with back row seats fully upright is nearly 37 cubic feet. Tech features are numerous and easy enough to operate. Auto Hold is a nice feature. 

What I didn’t like abouot the 2025 Ford Expedition King Ranch: The size is both a plus and a minus. The interior room is nice to have but getting through most mall parking lots or tight urban streets can be a chore.

Would I buy the 2025 Ford Expedition King Ranch? Way too big for my personal tastes, but if you need a vehicle with this capacity, the Expedition delivers in a classy manner.

2025 KIA K4

KIA UPDATES  ITS SEDAN LINEUP WITH REPLACEMENT FOR OUTDATED FORTE

With production of its Forte small sedan ending with the 2024 model, Kia introduces the K4 sedan for 2025.

With a sleek roofline accenting its sporty appearance, such features as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and budget pricing that starts in the $20,000 bracket, the 2025 Kia K4 is a major step up from the Forte it replaces.

The two top trims, dubbed GT-Line and GT-Liine Turbo, outfit the 2025 Kia K4 with an impressive list of standard features and still keep the starting price below $30,000 before extras are added on.

As is typical among vehicles provided to car reviewers, my test car was the top-of-the-line 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo. Outfitted with an optional $2,200 technology package, it ventured into the low $30,000 range at $31,445.

But you get not only an expanded list of standard features but a more powerful drivetrain in the GT-Line Turbo. It includes an 8-speed automatic transmission in place of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the other trims.

The 1.6-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine in the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo is rated at 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque significantly over the 147/132 in the normally aspirated 4-cylinder engine in the other four trims.

That doesn’t make the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo a dragster, but a reported zero-to-60 time of 7.1 seconds (Motor Trend magazine)  is about a second quicker than that for the non-turbo K4.

For the most part, in my time in the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo at no point did I get the feeling of sluggish performance.

Fuel efficiency figures for the 2025 Kia K4 don’t lead the segment but are competitive for a small sedan. The GT-Line Turbo is rated at 26 miles-per-gallon city, 36 highway, and 29 combined. The base LX trim is rated at 30/40/34.

The interior of the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo really stands out.  It is spacious with 42.3 inches of legroom up front and 38.0 in back and has an overall upscale feel. The driver’s seat offers lumbar support. Heated front seats are standard while ventilated seats are optional.

A 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation provides access to infotainment features with hard keys providing short cuts to screen commands. Volume for the Harmon Kardon premium sound system (included at no cost) is adjusted either on the steering wheel or by a small cylinder below the touchscreen.

Other standard features on the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo include a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, Auto Hold (prevents creeping when stopped), front and rear USB chargers, and Bluetooth hands-free communications,

Safety features on the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo include navigation-based Smart (adaptive) cruise control, blind-spot collision avoidance,, lane-keeping and lane following assist, and forward collision avoidance assist.

My test 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Tukbo had several no charge extras as well. They included a power sunroof with shade, LED projector headlights, fog lights, and taillights, Syntex (artificial leather) seat coverings, a Harmon Kardon premium sound system, alloy pedals, and rear air vents.

The optional technology package on my test 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo added Smartphone digital key, memory driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, parking distance collision avoidance and warning, a surround-view monitor, and turn-signal activated blind spot view monitor. The surround-view monitor alone is with the extra $2,200 charge.

What all that adds up to is a vehicle that gives Kia a stronger competitor in a segment headed by the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla and includes its colleague competitor the Hyundai Elantra.

A hatchback version of the Kia K4 is coming for 2026 with models expected in showrooms later this year for those looking for more hauling capacity.

What I liked about the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo: Though the lowest priced Kia model, the K4 offers an impressive list of  standard features on the GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo. Most operate off a good-sized touchscreen, but there are hard buttons as well to get to basic functions like the navigation map and audio. A/C controls have their own separate screen. The cabin is roomy. The GT-Line Turbo gets a signifiant boost in horsepower and torque over base models. It has a distinctive, low roofline that gives it a rakish look. Cargo capacity good for its segment.

What I didn’t like about the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo: The GT-Line Turbo flirts with the $30,000 mark when it comes to MSRP.  Designers went a bit overboard in hiding the rear door handles in the rear pillars. 

Would I buy the 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo? You’ll have to pay a bit more but if you can stretch your budget, the GT-Line Turbo is worth it.

 

2026 CADILLAC VISTIQ

CADILLAC EXPANDS ELECTRIC OPTIONS

WITH ADDITION OF VISTIQ SUV FOR 2026

Cadillac continues to expand its fleet of all-electric SUVs with the introduction of the Vistiq for 2026.

Taking over for the gas-powered XT6 in the U.S. market, the Vistiq offers the convenience of six-passenger seating in a package that is both smaller in size and price tag than Cadillac’s massive Escalade.

It joins the entry-level Optiq, Lyriq, Lyriq V, and Escalade IQ and IQL in giving Cadillac not only an impressive portfolio of the latest in technology but also awesome Scrabble scores as well

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq comes in four trim levels all with a 102-kilowat-hour battery pack that feeds dual motors that provide over 300 miles of driving range.

The Luxury trim serves as the entry level model with a base MSRP of $78,790 including the destination and delivery charge. Next up is Sport ($79,590). This review is based on the Premium Luxury trim with a base price that jumps to $93,190. 

Cadillac also launched a Platinum trim ($98,190) this past summer.

“With the addition of Vistiq, Cadillac will be one of the only brands to offer an EV entry in every luxury SUV segment,” said John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac, in a company release.

Such features as a premium AKG 23-speaker sound system with Dolby Atmos, Cadillac’s hands-free driving system Super Cruise, and all-wheel drive are standard across the line.

The dual electric motors deliver 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque and will move the Vistiq’s 3-plus ton curb weight from zero-to-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, according to Cadillac timers.

Selectable driver mode settings (Tour or Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice, and My Mode allow you to customize your experience. As an all-electric vehicle, one-pedal driving for regenerative braking also is available.

Active rear steering and adaptive air-ride suspension are among standard features offered on the Premium Luxury trim of the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq.

Cadillac also relieves you of the burden of pushing a button to start the car. You activate the motor the minute when you get in behind the steering wheel and step on the brake pedal, assuming you haven’t left the key behind. You do have to push a button on the spacious 33-inch display screen to turn off the motor.

The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq also has a hands-free power liftgate that will open if you have the key fob with you. Simply approach the vehicle from a distance of 10 feet and as soon as you get within 3 feet it rises up. It may just have been this my particular vehicle but that system was a bit overly sensitive and opened on its own several times as I simply walked by it.

Standard luxury and convenience features on the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq Premium Luxury edition include heated and ventilated front seats with a massage function, a heated steering wheel, wireless charger with dual front pads, seven USB ports, rain-sensing wipers, a rear camera mirror, 6-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof with sunshade, a head-up display and heated second-row seats.

Cadillac’s night vision system that alerts you to pedestrians, animals, or other objects beyond your headlights in low-light conditions also is included in Premium Luxury features.

With second-row bench seats you get seven-passenger capacity as opposed to six with second row captain’s chairs.

Standard safety features in addition to Nigh Vision and HD surround vision include blind spot and side cyclist warning, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, forward collision alert,  rear cross-traffic breaking, enhanced automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian and cyclist braking, and reverse automatic braking.

As noted pricing for the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq Premium Luxury edition starts at $93,190. My test model came with special trim 23-inch wheels as the only option, running the final total to $94,290.

What I liked about the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq Premium Luxury: The luxurious interior is Cadillac at its best, roomy, quiet, and premium materials. Driving range is over 300 miles and charging times are workable (45 minutes to get from 10 to 80 percent with a fast-charaging outlet). The Vistiq’s size is much more manageable than that of the humongous Escalade IQ EV and much easier on the wallet as well. The third row has enough room to accommodate average size adults at least for short trips. There also is a very usable 15.2 cubic feet of storage space behind that third row expandable to 43 cubic feet with the far back row folded.

What I didn’t like about the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq Premium Luxury: I rarely use Android Auto (or Apple CarPlay) but the lack of them is an unforgivable omission in today’s tech-focused generation of buyers. There also is no “frunk” for extra storage up front. Infotainment features are easy enough to operate but you do have find the right button on the touchscreen. Speaking of buttons, I’d prefer push-button start.

Would I buy the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq Premium Luxury? Considering the price jump, a look at the Luxury or Sport trims might be the better way to go. 

2025 KIA EV6

6 

KIA GOES ALL-IN ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES

WITH 2025 EV6 CROSSOVER SUV

Although the EV6 isn’t the only electrical vehicle Kia sells, it does hold some distinction in the South Korean automaker’s lineup as the company’s first dedicated battery electric vehicle.

The 2025 Kia EV6 is in its fourth year in U.S. markets after beating the larger EV9 to market by two years. Unlike the Kia Niro, which is also available as a standard gas-electric hybrid as well as a BEV, the EV6 is sold only as a true BEV in rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive form.

A cousin to Hyundai’s Ioniq5 EV, the 2025 Kia EV6 offers up to 319 miles in driving range when equipped with the 84.0 kWh long-range battery. Models with the standard 63.0 kWh battery have a range of 232 miles, according to the company, and are more suited for in-town use.

The 2025 Kia EV6 is offered in Light (RWD), Light Long Range (RWD or AWD), Wind (RWD or AWD), GT-Line (RWD or AWD), and GT (AWD) trims. This review is based on the 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line Long Range AWD riding on 20-inch wheels instead of the standard 19s.

Performance is outstanding with the larger battery pack. Models with the 63.0 kWh battery are rated at 167 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which is adequate to squire the compact SUV vehicle around town. RWD models with the larger battery produce figures to 225 hp and 258 lb.-ft. 

AWD models combine dual motors to deliver 320 hp and 446 lb.-ft. of torque, while the EV6 GT makes a whopping 601 hp and 545 lb.-ft. of torque. With standard GT mode activated, the GT surges to an impressive 641 hp and 568 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 65 horsepower and  23 lb.-ft over the 2024 EV6 GT.

Though still in the early years of its first generation, the 2025 Kia EV6 gets  refreshed front and rear styling and a refined interior that gives it the feel of a premium, high-end vehicle.

Standard comfort and convenience features include a 12.3-inch panoramic touchscreen with navigation, a head-up display, three years of complimentary Kia Connect services that link your car to mobile networks via your Smartphone, Meridien Premium audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Smart key with push-button start, heated and ventilated front seats, and dual-zone climate control.

Between the navigation touchscreen and the instrument panel display is a separate small screen to operate climate controls, a nice touch so you don’t have to work your way through the navigation or audio screens to adjust your temperature or blower.

The lineup of driver assist features is impressive. They include forward collision-avoidance assist, blind-spot assist, lane-keeping and lane-following assist, rear cross-traffic alert, parking distance warning, parking collision avoidance, a surround-view monitor, ‘Smart (adaptive) cruise control, and remote Smart parking assist.that actually will park your vehicle ,either parallel or perpendicular, for you.

Other standard features on the 2025 Kia EV7 GT-Line include a power sunroof, a Smart power liftgate, a rear privacy glass, rear spoiler, and a pre-wired towing package.

Starting MSRP for the 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line is $60,375 including destination and delivery charges. My test 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line came with several extras at no charge. They were a dual electric motor that boosted horsepower and torque to 320 hp and 446 pound-feet over the 225/258,, respectively, in the standard single motor, a heat pump, heated steering wheel, and heated rear outboard seats.

Carpeted floor mats and a cargo cover ran the final total to $60,740, which is on the high end of the EV SUV segment, but not extraordinarily so.

Though tax credits for purchasing electric vehicles have expired, the final assembly  point for the 2025 Kia EV6 is the company’s plant in West Point, Ga., which means it escapes tariff charges on imported vehicles.

What I liked about the 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line: As is typical of electric vehicles, it has great acceleration and is fun to drive. The cabin is comfortable and roomy both front and back and filled with lots of tech and driver-assistance features. Driving range is impressive with the long-range battery. When engaged by pushing a convenient button, an auto-hold function prevents creeping while idling at intersections. Separating climate control functions to a dedicated screen between the two major screens is a nice touch.

What I didn’t like about the 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line: The infotainment system overall is user-friendly enough but there are some quirks you have to work through to get to some functions and no knobs for audio volume or surfing the radio dial. Rear storage space (24.5 cubic feet with rear seats in place) is not what you would expect from an SUV and not up to that offered by some competitors.

Would I buy the 2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line? I’m still holding back before going all-in on electric vehicles. The inconvenience of finding working public charging outlets makes installing an in-home charger pretty much mandatory if you’re buying an EV. You can access Tesla charging outlets but that requires downloading that company’s app.

2025 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

OUTLANDER SHARES DNA WITH NISSAN ROGUE AS MITSUBISHI’S TOP SELLING MODEL

By far, the Outlander rates as Mitsubishi’s best seller, but considering the Japanese automaker has less than a 1 percent share of the U.S. market, that is a little like being the Most Valuable Player on a last-place major league baseball team.

The Outlander doesn’t even break into the Top 20 when it comes to U.S. SUV sales, but it does have some things working in its favor following an update for 2025.

Currently, the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander shares many features of the Nissan’s best-selling Rogue as a product of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, but in addition to the similarities between the two vehicles, including platforms and powertrains, there also some distinctions that set the Outlander apart.

The most prominent is an upscale interior that is both spacious and comfortable with leather trim throughout. There also is three-row seating which gives the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander seven-passenger capacity to the Rogue’s five, though the back row is pretty much suitable only for children and smaller ones at that.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is available in four trims not including the plug-in hybrid version. The ES, SE, SEL, and Platinum Editions all come with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that, like the Rogue, is mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and produces 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. This review is based on the SEL trim.

Fuel mileage ratings of 24 miles-per-gallon city, 31 highway and 27 combined for front-wheel drive models and 24/30/36 for all-drive versions somewhat make up for what the Outlander lacks in overall performance.

The interior features a new 12.3-inch touchscreen to operate tech features that include navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth wireless technology, and a multi-view camera system.

Other standard features on the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL include automatic 3-zone climate control, keyless entry and push-button start, rear-door sunshades, wireless cellphone charging, and a handy dial on the center console for selection of driving modes (Tamarac, Normal, Gravel, Snow, Eco, and Mud).

Leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, 8-way driver and 4-way passenger power adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, aluminum pedals, and LED foot lights also are included.

Standard exterior features include LED headlights, taillights, and fog lights, headlight washers, heated side mirrors, a power liftgate with adjustable heights, silver roof rails, and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Safety systems include forward collision mitigation, rear cross traffic alert, blind-spot warning and lane-keeping assist, lane-departure assist, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors.

Also standard is Mi-Pilot assist, which is Mitsubishi’s version of Nissan’s ProPilot Assist that isn’t  a hands-free driving system but helps the driver maintain driving lanes and safe following distances.

Starting MSRP for the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL is $40,290 including the destination and delivery fee. My test car added a Premium Package (Dynamic Sound and heads-up display) and other options that ran the final total to $45,930. MSRP for lower trims is in the $30,000 bracket while the Platinum Edition starts at $46,040. That’s a bit more than the Rogue which tops out at around $40,000 for the Platinum trim.

What I liked about the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL: The roomy interior has a premium feel to it and the exterior is appealing. It comes with a long list of standard features. The larger touchscreen provides easy access to infotainment features.

What I didn’t like about the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL: Cargo area behind the third row is especially tight, though folding the far back opens up a a more generous area of 30.6 cubic feet. The third row is pretty much for children only as getting to the rear is quite a chore. The engine could use a little more in the way of pop. It might help going with an 8-speed automatic instead of the CVT.

Would I buy the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL? It’s worth a look especially if you are looking for a 3-row SUV to handle your growing family. You might be surprised.

2025 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE

MUSTANG SOLDIERS ON AS PONY CAR SEGMENT DWINDLES IN NUMBERS

With the redesign of 2024 moving the Mustang into its seventh generation, Ford saw little reason for major changes to the 2025 Ford Mustang.

As virtually the only survivor in a shrinking “Pony Car” segment, the 2025 Ford Mustang embodies the spirit of the original model that hit the ground running. Ford expected to sell 100,000 Mustangs in its first year back in  the spring of 1964

Instead, despite a late release in April, Ford topped that number with over 121,000 sold in the U.S. in 1964. With a full year on the market in 1965  sales reached nearly 560,000 and continued to soar with  over 607,500 old in the U.S.in 1966.

Even with the gas crunch of the 1970s and the addition of such competing Muscle Cars as the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and Pontiac Firebird, Mustang sales still hit 385,993 in 1i974

Recent numbers, perhaps reflecting buyers’ love affair with SUVs and the availability of performance versions of traditional sedans, are much more modest for the Mustang; Since hitting the 10 million mark in all-time U.S. sales in 2018, the U.S. annual sales high is 48,200 in 2019.

Sales were at the 44,000 mark for 2024, thrown off by supplier issues according to many sources, and got off slowly this year with a drop to under 10,000 for the first quarter. They rebounded in the second, however, to over 14,000  to bring the number to over 23,500 for the first half of 2025. 

One factor behind the Mustang’s continued success is the numerous configurations it comes in. As such it, satisfies various tastes and budgets. The 2025 Ford Mustang is offered with 4- or 8-cylinder engines, a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, transmission, and in coupe/fastback,or convertible form.  (We’re not including the Mach-E electric Mustang here, which is more SUV-like than Pony Car.)

Pricing runs the gamut from the low $30,000 for the 4-cylinder EcoBoost coupe to just under $50,000 for the base 8-cylinder GT, to $60,000 for the Dark Horse Fastback.

If budget concerns are not a problem, the Ford Mustang GTD unveiled this year.offers super car performance (815 horsepower) with a price tag well over $325,000.

The 2025 Ford Mustang convertible that this review is based on carried a starting price of $43,045 before extras were added on that ran the total to $51,905. Ford Co-Pilot Assist (adaptive cruise control, lane centering, evasive steering assist, and active park assist) added $3,000 alone.

My test 2025 Ford Mustang convertible came with the turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine that not only delivered  peppy performance but also the throaty, deep-bass engine exhaust tones the Mustang is famous for. Car & Drivcer clocked the turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost at 4.5 seconds which was just a couple of 10ths off the time for the GT V8.

The EcoBoost has a big advantage in fuel economy, earningEPA ratings of 22 miles per gallon city, 33 highway, and 26 combined to the 16-24-19 for the for the 5.0-liter V8 in the GT.

The 2025 Ford Mustang convertible could use an upgrade in the way of interior refinement, but it is nicely equipped.  Front-seat occupants get nice room but you can’t say the same for anyone hoping to ride along in back. Ford lists the rear-seat legroom as 29.4 inches bit it seems much less than that. It is extremely tight even if those in front move their seats far forward.

Standard features include a 13.2-inch centerstack screen for operation of infotainment features that include navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. FordPass Connect with 4G wi-fi gives you the ability to operate some functions like remote starting and stopping and remote locking and unlocking via your cell phone.

You also get dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with tilt-and-telescoping capability, 12.4-inch LCD instrument cluster, LED headlights and taillights as standard.

Bu the main thing the 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible offers is motoring fun. There is no price tag on that.

What I liked about the 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible: The EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine has surprising acceleration. The top is easily lowered and raised. Just unlock the overhead camp and push a button. Infotainment features are user-friendly. There is even a knob to adjust radio volume. Fuel mileage is decent for what you get in performance. 

What I didn’t like about the 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible: The rear seat has little in  the way of legroom for adults. But it can serve for extra storage. The interior overall could use a little dressing up.

Would I buy the 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible: A strong yes vote here. If your budget can fit in the 8-cylinder GT model, that is the way to go, but you won’t be disappointed in the sound or performance from models with the Ecoboost 4-cylinder engine.
