What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Ford Mustang?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin quality and equipment level change noticeably by trim, with Premium models adding higher-quality materials, exposed contrast stitching, and available aluminium carbon-pattern trim. Base versions are more stripped back, so you should check whether the features you want are included before you buy.
• Powertrain: You can choose between a turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine and a V8 GT, with rear-wheel drive as standard. The review also notes a 10-speed automatic, a six-speed manual, launch control on manual cars, and a Drag Strip mode on automatic cars.
• Safety package: The Mustang includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, driver monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts. The lane-keeping assist can be switched off if you find it intrusive.
• Infotainment: Look for the 12-inch digital instrument cluster, Sync 3 touchscreen infotainment, available navigation, rearview camera, Ford Sync Connect, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The system also includes Bluetooth and performance-focused Track Apps.
• Fuel efficiency: The review says the V8-powered GT consumes 12.5 L/100 km in combined driving, and the test loop returned 12.6 L/100 km.
