Best Mustang - 2006 Ford Mustang
By cobra rick - November 17 - 7:46 pmMy wife and I own two 2006 GTs, this coupe and a premium cont. She drives ,the convert has only 6k miles ,they are both great cars and were fine stock ,I own my own mustang shop and modify the cars all of the time ,neither one of our cars is stock ,they are the best all around Mustangs ever built ,we have had no problems ,the shaker 500 is great ,and the back seat isnt that bad once you get in ,best bang for the buck out there. I have owned around ten Mustangs, including a task built 428 car the aftermarket is huge for this car, Ford did right by getting the aftermarket involved from the start

Buy It--New or Used (2005 or after) - 2006 Ford Mustang
By gtstangconv - November 4 - 10:43 pmI just bought a 2006 GT Conv with 13000 miles. Ive had it two days and already love it. My other vehicle is a Mazda CX-9 (for the family). This one is fun for me and I can still haul the family for fun trips. With the GT (V8), Im surprised that Im averaging 20-23 mpg--not bad considering the 300 horses and irresitible urge to nail it and nail it and well you get the point. Buy this vehicle. If $ are tight, I recommend an 06 or 07--great bargains out there. I personally chose a used GT instead of a new V6. I would have considered a used 05, but I never get a car its first year in production--no idea if theres any real basis in that- -just my personal hangup.

EXCELLENT ALL ROUND! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By GOldman - November 4 - 6:56 pmI had been battling with used cars for many years. Not that I bought bad quality cars, but I always needed to attend to something. I was tired of this and decided to get a new one. I fell for the Mustang because of its legendary name. The design team has definitely made the 2005-06 Mustang the BEST design since the 60s! I love this vehicle, the looks, the feel, the performance. It is definitely above the rest. And it still holds true to Iacoccas philosophy of an affordable race car,

My Dream Car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Jen - October 30 - 11:16 amAll my life I wanted a Mustang, and Im glad I waited till now to buy it. The mix of the old body style, in and out sold me on this model. Handles like a sports car should, road hugging smooth that pulls threw any curve. Power is more than enough, there may be faster, but I dont see people breaking their necks to look at the grandma styled competitors. Going top down is an experience everyone should have. From 6 to 6o year olds, Ive had them all point and compliments abound.

Working mans sports car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By P51 Flyer - October 28 - 8:26 amOpted for 5 speed and 18" polished Bullitt style wheels. Overall Im very happy with my purchase. Looks good and has enough oomph to get you in trouble. Almost couldnt keep the car cause I didnt tell the wife about it. I have a bad habit of trading cars in every year! This is my 3rd Mustang and it keeps getting better and better. Will keep this one for at least the life of the loan. Previous ones I had were model year 2000 and 2002. Im a fan of American muscle cars, old and new. This has high "bang for the buck" factor!

Best Mustang Ever! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By heather26 - October 25 - 10:48 amIve always wanted a Mustang, but never thought Id actually get one. I researched all the Japanese cars that got good fuel economy, but I could not get the Mustang out of my mind. Even though it doesnt get the MPGs I was looking for, it was totally worth it. And I dont know how happy my parents are having a 17 year old drive a fast sports car, they agree it is a great car. Every time I get in the car I have a huge smile on my face.

DONT BUY A MUSTANG! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By stnghot - October 19 - 12:41 amI made the mistake of buying one of these 2006 lemons. It is sitting in the shop w 46000 miles on it..the bill? $3000. Entire rear diff has to be replaced including the axles are shot. Theres a service bulletin so get yours checked! Ford offered to pay 750..I drive it like a baby and a rear diff should not go out that early. Research and you will find Im not the only one. Im not fixing this lemon. Its going to its grave and Im buying a foreign car. Called Ford..they said thanks for calling...they dont stand behind their cars so why would I put myself in one? Perfect personalized plate would be FORDLMN if I was gonna keep it. Save yourself the hassle and heartache....dont buy one.

Why did I wait so long to buy? - 2006 Ford Mustang
By GTConvOwner - October 10 - 3:41 pmAfter searching all the competitors out there, including the German and Japanse cars, how could anyone not consider a Mustang? I bought a GT convertible. Wow, for the money this car has no peer. Right out of the box the power and handling of this car are fantastic. To think I can get add-on accessories to boost this performance to even higher levels without breaking the bank is even better. Top down driving is fun. Your passengers in the back may ask you to roll up the windows on the freeway, but in the front seats the wind is manageable. The family loves the car and want to take it everywhere. Four seats. Great stereo with excellent bass response. Very comfortable seats (Im over 6) too.

My first Stang - 2006 Ford Mustang
By chemrxn - September 15 - 3:10 amBy far my favorite car Ive owned. Was wary about Ford but not anymore, has been very reliable. No rattles, no broken pieces. Car accelerates and handles well. Acceleration and cruising at high speeds definitely are strongest points. Love the exterior and interior styling. I get lots of compliments. Older style Mustang drivers strike up conversations. Little kids come up to me. College dudes and teens in small Japanese sporty cars often want to race. Trunk space sufficent. Compared 350z and rx-8 when looking. 350z was not dailly commute friendly, RX-8 too small. nothing compares with the brawn and muscle of a mustang right now. Only negative is handling in rain and snow.
