Overview & Reviews

The new model year brings a handful of changes for the Mustang. V6 models can now get the Pony Package, which includes an upgraded suspension with larger stabilizer bars, 17-inch wheels, ABS, traction control, foglamps and unique trim. The GT gains two additional wheel options, both 18 inches in size, complemented by unique suspension tuning. An additional darker aluminum interior trim upgrade package is now available.

• Solid V8 power in GT models, about as well mannered as a car with a solid-axle rear suspension can get, slick retro interior, good cabin ergonomics.

• No side curtain airbags or stability control, seats could use more lateral support, low-grade interior plastics.

  Love it - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By nis350ztt - July 23 - 10:53 am

  Ive owned mine for a year, and I love it. Only complaints are fairly minor. The build quality isnt great. Youre most likely going to have problems with it, whether minor or not depends though.

  Best Mustang Ever - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By edorgon - July 20 - 9:45 am

  First had a 67, and of course regret ever getting rid of it. Bought this as a leftover in December 06 for a steal, loaded with rebates, dealer concessions, etc. Best buy in a car ever. Solid as a rock. Fast, and the sweetest engine rumble. Handles exceptionally well, and goes almost as quick as my supercharged 01 Jag XKR. Rougher, more raw power, but it adds to fun. Amazingly solid for a conv. A truly fantastic value with auto, premium everything, etc. Great car. Tempts me to get rid of my Jag and match this conv with an 08 fully loaded GT coupe!

  first new car - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By K.P. - July 18 - 1:33 am

  Wow! My first new car at 40 years old. I am having so much fun when my wife lets me. Now she wants one. It is truly a dream car. And the dealer was the best. We had the best experience a couple could have buying a new vehicle. I can’t say enough about how this car looks, runs; what a special prize at the right price. The color vista blue is an eye catcher - everyone comments on it. They ask what year it is because of the older style. Good choice! V6 with power but with great gas mileage. 18 in town.

  NICE TOY - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By JEFF - July 15 - 9:10 pm

  Quick -- hard to keep tires from braking loose -- holds the curves well -- see people looking at the car as I drive down the street -- got 19 miles per gallon on first tank -- cruises smoothly in fifth gear and accelerates well in fifth -- fourth gear runs well all the way down to about thirty mph -- good sounding exhaust -- a little more growling from the exhaust would give the car more appeal. Nice toy.

  Former Vette Owner - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By MustangConvert - July 15 - 10:00 am

  Less than 500 miles on my Legend Lime GT and lovin every minute of it. The sound of the engine when you start it and when you open it up cant be beat. This car is every bit as fun to drive and powerful as my 1996 LT4 and the styling, both exterior and interior, puts that car to shame. My eight year old fits in the back seat just fine, but I wouldnt put any adults back there. I get positive comments every time I drive it. The 18" polished chrome wheels really set this car up nice.

  Grand has a new toy - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Jeanie - July 5 - 12:30 am

  Wow! I was going to get an 05 but waited and am I glad. This is the most fun Ive had since I was in college. It is great to drive and gets looks from everyone, especially when they see the driver is not exactly a youngster. I love everything about this car. I have perfect strangers tell me how cool it is.

  Love My Stang! - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By grybohhk - June 15 - 2:06 am

  Until this latest generation of Mustang, I have not liked any of the designs since 1970. I opted for the V6 Premium with Pony Package. I have a long commute and gas mileage was a concern. The 5 speed manual transmission gives the V-6 plenty of power. Only issues I have had were poor adhesive on the Pony side stripe and a hose for the emissions equipment came loose. Dealer took care of both of these under warranty. So many aftermarket parts are available to give the Mustang its own personality.

  Mid-life fantasy - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Dave - May 30 - 12:12 pm

  I bought a convertible before I got too old to appreciate it, and Im glad I did. My grandkids complain Im too old to be driving such a hot car. Car is an absolute blast to drive, head and shoulders better than my 2000 GT coupe. Car looks super with top down, and I frequently get compliments. Power top has been trouble-free, no leaks to date. Biggest issue I have is interior squeaks/rattles I never had with my 2000 GT, which are annoying when top is up. Shaker 500 stereo is nice but Im not sure speakers are suited to it. Rear defrost switch is in awkward position, hard to operate/see when in 5th gear. Using cupholders can make shifting awkward. Still, a tremendous value, super to drive.

  "Payback Pony" - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Lizard - May 25 - 1:07 pm

  While in hospital for 4 months, I used the latest style Mustang as my "carrot to recovery." My 1st "pinned in the seat" experience was in a 68 428 (I was 9). V6 goes like a small V8. In Canada, Ford markets this as the "Pony Pkg," which includes the handling pkg (ABS, traction control, and rear sway bar). Beautiful "Bullitt" wheels (17") and Pirrellis, are included, along with Pony badging. 5 speed auto is smooth and saves gas (22 mpg imp). Build quality rivals my Camry. The vented, 4 wheel disc brakes are amazing! Car really handles well, too. Overall, Im very pleased, with this well balanced car. The 210 horsepower V6 is ample for todays economy/gas prices/speed limits.
