This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

  • Having fun - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Im having the time of my life! After years of minivans & sedans, my wife decided I needed a "fun" car. Ive wanted a Mustang since drooling over the 67s as a kid. This has all the style of that vintage, with the benefit of some 21st century engineering. The V6 has plenty of get up and go for my needs. I enjoy the modestly "throaty" sound, especially on startup. The leather interior and Shaker 500 sound system just add to the fun. While I would like to get even better gas mileage, its hard to complain about 20 mpg (my average so far) given the power available. No more "lugging" up hills!

  • My 1st Stang ! - 2006 Ford Mustang

    This car is a blast. I purchased my 06 Performance White GT Premium about 4 months ago. It drives like a dream, its everything I ever imagined. I wanted one since the day it came out and Im not sorry for the purchase. I get a lot of compliments. So far I have not had any problems what so ever. I have taken it to the Ford dealership I purchased it from for oil changes and everytime so far everything has been 100%

  • great car bad battery and window system - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love to drive the car and to look at the car. I have had problems with the battery draining. Ive jumped it 5 times. Ive also had problems with the driver side window. I had to take it to the dealership 2 times for the same issue. The 3rd time it was out of warranty and the dealership didnt want to take ownership of the problem.

    Bought it new and have 63k miles. Never a problem. Added some goodies, headers, catback, CAI, 373 rearend and hurst short throw. 360hp. Love this car. I still get comments from people. I have never had a brake job and Im at 63k miles and still have 20% wear left. Solid, solid, solid is what this car is. I wont ever get rid of it. Best thing Ford ever did.

  • Dreams are well worth working for! - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ive always wanted a V8 Mustang since my dad showed me a certain Steve McQueen movie called Bullitt, I just loved the styling and ferocity of McQueens highland green 68 fastback GT. Nothing else was cooler. Then Ford released the 05 model, now thats a Mustang! Well in a nutshell I found a tungsten grey 06 GT auto with 7k on it and bought it. Best decision ever. I love this V8! Its fast and it sounds great, though mine now sports a cold air intake and Pypes Violator exhaust and it turns heads with its loud rumble. Also this car is built extremely well. 31k on it and not even a rattle, not a problem. This is one I WILL NOT BE TRADING IN!

  • RED FIRE GT - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ford did an excellent job of combining the sound & power of the 70s muscle car with the technology of today. The retro style brings back memories of so many past Mustangs; it is amazing the different years people see in this car. The power is more than enough to pin you back in your seat. I was surprised most by how quiet the interior is while outside you can hear the rumble of the exhaust. Sometimes I just roll down the window to listen to the roar of the exhaust. DONT BUY THIS CAR if you dont want to be noticed or like talking to strangers. No matter what age or where people stare and point at you as you drive pass or come up to you and start talking about the car.

    I have been very pleased for the most part with my 06 Mustang GT. I think the retro styling of the car is great. Its like driving a 60s Mustang only better. The steering response is great and it corners like a dream. I am 62 and have never had a car that felt this comfortable. The Shaker 500 sounds awesome. I have had aftermarket setups that didnt sound as good. I only have a couple complaints. The rubber strips used to seal the inside of the windows scratch the hell out of my window tint when running them up and down. There is a rattling noise under hard acceleration that almost sounds like detonation but I am running 92 octane fuel and have ruled that out. Very impressed

    Bought new, my red dream stang has performed, well, overall. Interior, passenger side vent rattles, interior tail light housing held in place by flimsy, plastic screw assemblies. Closing the trunk causes the rear lights to blink. On positive side, average over 20.5 miles per gallon, everywhere!. Car used mainly to go to gym and back and to the beach on weekends. Runs fast, but interior is noisy. Hope Ford adds interior insulation package to 2010
