Is a Mustang a good car for traveling?

Next summer my best friend and I are planning a road trip from Portland to San Fransico. I want to take the scenic route down Highway 101 and drive my brand new Mustang convertible. Is a Mustang a good car to travel in?

Your summer road trip from Portland to San Francisco sounds like a west coast dream! There are two elements to consider to answer your question–fuel economy and space.
The Ford Mustang is an iconic sports car with a powerful engine, is engaging to drive, and has decent fuel economy. The 2022 Ford Mustang achieves up to 21 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway No wonder it was the world’s best selling
sports car and sports coupe
in 2021!
With spacious front seats you’ll be comfortable driving down Highway 101, with the top down, and wind in your hair. The Mustang convertible’s tight back seats and 11.4 cubic foot trunk doesn’t leave much room for your belongings.
You and your friend can pack lightly on this trip with these tips:
  • Use a duffel bag. Avoid structured suitcases and opt for a soft-sided bag that can squeeze into tight spaces.
  • Roll your clothes. Instead of folding your clothes, roll them. This will free up a surprising amount of space.
  • Go light on the shoes. Be realistic about which shoes you’ll wear on your road trip.
