No kidding. The car felt bigger than even some 4 dr sedans i drove. Why did Ford make it so damn huge? The 4th generation car was garbage, but at least its size was somewhat reasonable.

It is somewhat large, but it does carry its weight pretty well especially if you get some good dampers on it. If you're used to the Z it really feels big. Now that I've been driving it for a while though it feels much smaller than it really is mainly due to how it drives.

The next generation is supposed to have smaller dimensions and will be no more than 3,350 lbs. I'm interested in seeing how that one turns out.

Because it is a Mustang.

Asking why they made it so big is like asking why they made the FR-S so small.
