2020 GT Premium with PP, 401A, MT82, Active Exhaust, Safe and Smart package. I am a deal shopper for most part and was able to pick this up new for 39.5k. MSRP for an equivalent 21 is probably 51k. It had basically sat on the lot for a year in a small town.
It makes for a nice daily driver, but could still use some torque down low. Fun to wind out and the exhaust sounds amazing. I took it on a drive to Florida and back, which was 20 hours each way, and it was a very comfortable drive. I did not feel beat up and stayed alert while averaging 26.5mpg.
I did have a QC issue with it which I was very bummed out about. The passenger door would occasionally touch the fender when opening and that caused paint to wear off on the edge of the door. It had to be repainted and the dealership did a great job, but now that is on the record and probably devalued the car from a buyer's standpoint when I decide to sell it.

Good points. The main reason I want to trade my Mustang in is the lack of torque off the line and the fact I'm tired of the body style. I've been driving a GT since 2014 (14 base manual and 16 premium auto). I would consider a Mach 1 if they were not so overpriced. I did notice a loaded performance pack GT at my local dealership that looks pretty cool in the new antimatter blue color, but they are asking over 53k! Also way too much for a regular stang. I don't care how many options it has. Now if it was supercharged, then maybe...
