The Ford Mustang continues its reign as the world's top selling sports car. I've driven all the best ones and it's easy to see why.

  • The Ford Mustang sold more than 100,000 units globally in 2019.
  • This is the fifth year in a row that it's been the most popular sports car worldwide.
  • Its popularity comes from the fact that it's an objectively good car, which has options for every price point and performance level.

The indomitable Ford Mustang, bringer of power to the masses, has successfully taken over the world once again as 2019 marks the fifth consecutive year the Mustang has been the best selling two-door sports car in the world — coupes and convertibles included. My sincerest congratulations to the Ford Mustang.

The news comes via a Ford press release, which reports the Mustang sold 102,090 units globally last year, according to IHS Markit's most recent new-vehicle registration data. Most of the demand, it seems, came from here in the US, where 72,489 Mustangs sold domestically. But in particular, German sales increased 33%, Polish sales increased almost 50% and French sales nearly doubled.

Guess the Mustang is really something the Europeans want.

Jokes aside, it really doesn't come as a surprise to me that the car is so popular. The current-gen Mustang is not only one of the best-looking in decades, but it's also objectively a good car. It has back seats that aren't tiny. It has a big trunk. It's comfortable to drive. And there are more variations to choose from than ever. People love choices, and the Mustang gives them many.

Mustangs are also available at very reasonable price points. You get a lot of car in return for what you pay for.

Here are some of the best new Mustangs I've driven.
