Ford Mustang California Special
A 4-seat performance car with 450 hp, 0–100 km/h in 4.2 s, and a 250 km/h top speed, the Ford Mustang California Special delivers good value in its segment. Best for highway drives and weekend trips, but its 12.5 L/100 km fuel use and 258 L trunk make city and cargo-heavy routines less convenient.
