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.

The Best Mustang Yet - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Pam - September 22 - 5:54 pmI have owned many Mustangs. From a 1965 Coupe to a 2003 Mach 1 (I still own that one). This is the best Mustang yet in every area. It handles well, looks great, and has much more room that any previous Mustang. I have a five speed manual and it gets over 30 mpg on the highway although it is not rated that high. This car is the best "all around" car I have ever owned. In addition everywhere I go everyone compliments me on the car and wants to know all about it. I have found that not only is this car welcome at Mustang shows it is also welcome at all local cruise ins, car shows, etc. Try that with your SUV. It is 1965 all over again with this latest generation Mustang!

Great Mustang! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Nick - September 20 - 12:51 amIve had my 06 Mustang GT for two and a half years. Overall, I love this car! The modern-retro look, the powerful v-8, the American-muscle rumble, its got it all. I always love driving it, even in my routine communites. In the world full of soccer mom mini-vans, clunky pick-up trucks, and ho-hum sedans, it feels good driving a car that stands out and demands attention. This just doesnt become a "daily driver car" like your grand am, accord, or malibu. This car becomes a part of you. Youll eventually end up giving this car a name like Shelby, Sally, or Eleanor. This is the type of car that you pass down to your children. So, buy one, throw in your fav AC/DC album, and drive and live!

Great Stang - 2006 Ford Mustang
By KIKI - September 4 - 11:33 pmGreat car, dollar for dollar the most gratifying car Ive owned. After coming off a slug slow but reliable BMW this is a very fun exciting ride. Wifes Audi which left our world last month feeling like a recovering crack addict, put her in the new 2009 flex. Average mileage 60% city 40% freeway/speedway southern california avg hghwy speed 80 mph overall mileage 21 on the Mustang v-8 quite impressive. Cant say enough about this car plan to hit 300k before retirement then it will still be worth a rebuild for weekend duties and fun.

Dream car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By jim - September 1 - 6:07 pmI wanted a lime 68 as a kid but never could afford one. Now I am 50 and Ford not only brought back the color, but they made it look like what I wanted. I had been looking for a 68 or 69 in that color, which is impossible to find so I saw this 06 on the internet at my local dealer. One test drive made me realize that I didnt want an old one anymore. I got the looks coupled with power handling and a quality in the build that the 68 and 69 were lacking. So far I cant say enough good things about the car and hope to get a grabber orange to add to the 89 convertible, 98 coupe and 06 GT that I have now.

Fun, Fun, Fun - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Jack Donohue - September 1 - 10:56 amThe most fun Ive had driving a car in a long time. From the time I first saw the 2005 as a convertible I knew I had to get one. To get it the way I wanted I had to order it. Black, tan interior, tan top, 5 speed. I am very surprised & delighted at the good quality throughout. Fast, handles & looks great. Hardly a day goes by without someone commenting on what a great car it is. Traded a BMW Z4 for this pony & the fun factor went up by 100%.

Great car, and holds up well - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Brandon - STANG281 - August 16 - 7:54 pmIve owned it for about 2 1/2 years now, I have about 45,000 miles on it. This was my first car, first manual. The clutch has been slipping for the past 10,000 miles or so (but held up well in my opinion). The handle/knob broke off of the driver seat release to lift it forward in order to get to the back seat. The rear differential has the TSB whining noise during low speed turns. And I also had a problem a few times with the TSB of water leaking into the passenger floorboard and causing some electrical problems. Overall, its held up very well considering the abuse its received. The seats are uncomfortable on a 2 1/2+ hour drive. The gas mileage is bearable, and not bad for the performance

Amazing Car - Too much fun - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Darrell - August 13 - 2:50 amThe car is fun to drive and very comfortable during distance driving. Ive owned it 2 months and still cant get the smile off my face. The only negative is the interior. The plastic is cheap but the overall car makes up for it. The car is a head-turner.

Love It - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Biscuit - August 5 - 6:40 pmThis is my 9th Mustang. All 5.0s. My buddies giggled when I showed up with mine. That was until I took them for a ride. Now four of them own a V6. Two more are in the market for one. I installed the dual exhaust, cold air intake, and a reprogrammer. This pony bucks now! It also rides like a dream. The fuel mileage is great on the highway, not so much in town. But thats my fault. Definitely get the 5 speed.

Larrys Fourth Mustang - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Larry - July 20 - 10:33 pmSounds great for a six cylinder. Great pick-up/power for a six cylinder - plenty of power. Not too pricey for a sporty car like this - reasonably priced. Good buy for the money. Shaker 500 sound system sounds great. Gas mileage - about 20 mpg around town - is satisfactory. Ive had Camaros, Trans-Ams, a Corvette, and Mustangs, and this is my favorite so far.
