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.

  I got one of those lemons - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Dave S - June 20 - 8:51 am

  I bought this car to be an occasional driver - I have only put 13,000 miles on it in 3 years. Here is a list of things replaced on warranty and mileage when replaced: Differential - 500 miles Radiator fan - 1800 miles Door jamb switch - 1900 miles A/C compressor - 2900 miles Fuel pump - 6100 miles A/C high pressure switch - 7800 miles Alternator - 9200 miles A/C line - 10400 miles A/C recharged - 12700 miles The warranty has just expired and guess what? A/C not working again. For some unknown reason this vehicle does not want to have working A/C. Very frustrating. After my experience with this car I understand why the big 3 are in financial dire straits. Very shoddy workmanship IMO.

  Best new car Ive owned (Ive owned 8) - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Super critical - June 11 - 10:28 pm

  First the bad. Struggling to get a full tank is unacceptable. Turning the nozzle upside down usually fixs the problem. Car is kinda thirsty but for the performance you get on regular gas, its within the bounds of acceptable. I have an automatic and the hesitation on downshifting is unacceptable and unsafe when driving aggressively. Now the good. In over 39000 miles, its never left me stranded. Never been in the shop for repairs. Cabin is squeak and rattle free still. Took it on a 8000mi trip and NEVER got out of it with a back ache. Stereo is great. Seat, console and door armrest position is the best Ive ever had. I love the car and Im not an easy person to please. Worth a look!

  The Ultimate Mustang - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By wolverine - June 11 - 5:30 pm

  This is my third Mustang (84 GT, 90 GT convertible) and this is, without question, the quintessential Pony Car. At 47, I was ready to settle down and purchase an Accord or Toyota. Glad I didnt. You cant get more bang for your buck. And if you dont drive like a madman, you can get decent gas mileage (Im currently averaging 20.6 mpg - city and highway). Ford, you hit this one outta the park!

  THE BEST CAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By stangster - June 3 - 9:00 pm

  I cant say how much I absolutely love driving this car. I bought my 2006 Mustang GT in May of 2006 and could not be any happier with my purchase. You can immediately feel the power of the 4.6 liter engine and trust me this car gets everyones attention. I would recommend this car to anyone hands down!

  2006 Legend Lime GT, love every once of it and never tire of driving it at any speed. Great muscle car for under $30,000.

  Close but no cigar - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By dave - May 31 - 6:39 pm

  Car is fun enough to drive, but having had the battery die twice in my garage, first time after owning it for two weeks, and again in June 09. Auto feature on windows most times work fine, but often only work one way and not always the same way. Air conditioning is poor most of the time. Didnt work at all once, took it to the dealership- told it takes time to cool off - I guess an hour is not long enough when its blowing hot air. Next day it worked fine. Wouldnt take it on a trip in hot weather. Would not buy one again. Dealership charged me for an auto emission test, but not necessary if driven under 5000 miles in a year.

  2006 V6 Coupe Premium + Options - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By dmbandTX - May 25 - 11:32 am

  I have owned 3 mustangs recently a 2002 V6, a 2004 anniversary V6, and my current 2006 V6 coupe. The 2006 is by far the best of the three Ive owned. The sleek exterior reminiscent of the fastback look and retro interior are much preferred to the builds in the first half of the 2000s. My model is a torch red 5 speed manual which shifts much smoother than the previous vehicles. Options include all the V6 premium additions plus Pony Package (fog lamps / upgraded grill are sporty). The interior has a limited dark charcoal all leather finish, and the dash is upgraded to include the multi-function display below the speedometer and SHAKER-1000 Audio - much improved over previous MACH systems

  V6 is fast enough - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By lmmmmm - April 24 - 10:23 am

  I went with the V6 instead of the V8. Glad I did. Its plenty zippy, Im at 40mph before I know it. After 3 days everything feels solid and no rattles or squeaks. Definitely get the Pony Package. Drives very well. I test drove both the manual and automatic. I went with auto only because Im tired of shifting in traffic everyday. But manual definitely more fun and in my opinion the exhaust sounds more throaty. Maybe because you can really wind the gears more than the automatic.

  Shes exactly what I wanted - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Marshall - April 22 - 8:25 pm

  My 2006 Mustang GT is my seventh Mustang and by far, the best. The car runs 13s in the quarter, gets over 20mpg, sounds great, and is a blast to drive. Not the best handling car on the road, not the fastest either, but a solid platform that you can make into whatever kind of Mustang you would like. Tons of after market support including: wheels and tires, body kits, suspension system upgrades, power upgrades like blowers, turbos, nitrous oxide injection, super chargers cams, heads, etc... You take care of your Mustang and shell take care of you. I run premium fuel and full synthetic oil. Follow the maintenance guidelines, dont be cheap and skip over expensive services.

  V8 power - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Raul - April 20 - 11:18 am

  After owning a 98v6 mustang, and investing almost $2000 on paint, rims, body work, and lights, I new I needed a v8. I bought my gt because I got a good deal, and because Ive always wanted a v8 mustang. Acceleration is awesome, you can hear this thing breathe. Handles well also. Takes corners like its on rails. Interior is ok, not as bad as some say, well to my standards. Leather is great, convertable top is awesome. Mpg is not that bad for me. I get around 18 city, and 26 on highway, I have a heavy foot too. Love the retro style... Dont regret purchasing this beast. Wish I had more power, but I can fix that with aftermarket stuff.
