Malcolm Flynn road tests and reviews the 2016 Ford Mustang GT Fastback manual with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.

The return of the Ford Mustang to Australian showrooms is almost as surprising as the resurgence of vinyl music records. You just wouldn't think there would be room for either in a digital society.

While the Mustang in V8 GT form is hardly cutting edge tech, it thankfully delivers its magic without any scratchiness to its character, and nor does it need to be treated delicately. Unlike a vinyl record that is.

We're particularly thankful for the manual coupe version of the V8 GT, so we spent a bit more time with the most 'Mustang' of them all to see what it's like to live with.

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
