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.

My first white pony! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Matt T. - July 15 - 5:11 pmLove the car, hands down. We did have to have some repairs done within the first 10,000 miles such as the shifter, fuel pump, etc. The gas tank on occasion will not accept a full tank of gas? This happened to my buddy also and he had his fuel tank replaced, sounded like a design error.

Best bang for your buck! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Alan - July 15 - 12:00 amThis is my third Mustang, my last being an 88 GT convertible that I also bought new. What a difference 18 years can make! This car is faster, smoother, quieter (yes, I know a convertible is noisier, Im comparing to friends 88 GT hatchback), quicker around the corners, stops better, sounds better and gets better gas mileage to boot. Whats not to love? This car was love at first sight. I sold two cars to swing the downpayment and special ordered the car with all the toys - 18" wheels, and a 1000 watt 6 disc with subwoofers in the trunk. Im a stick shift guy and this car has a wonderfully smooth transmission that shifts much better than my 88 GT. I commute 55 mi./day and get 22mpg

If only I could afford the V-8 - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Sean - July 12 - 8:50 pmMy mother has a 6 banger 04. My 06 pony package is far superior in every category (not taking into account fuel). Yeah, I have a lead foot. With a GT I would be in jail as speeding is way too easy with the Pony. The handling is nice for such a heavy car but for the money you cant beat it. Be ready for some road noise, but get the Shaker sound system and youll never notice it. Ive only put 5000 miles on it but havent had a single problem other than the frequent compliments.

Love our Mustang - 2006 Ford Mustang
By ida - July 11 - 3:24 amWe were going to wait till next year to buy a car but when we saw the Mustang we were sold. Everything on it we really like. There is so much room for my husband who is 63". Owned a smaller vehicle but was always cramped. Would recommend it to anyone. Brought back old memories of the Ford Mustang. Going to put it in a show on July 19.

Awesome Car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Awesome!! by Tom - July 6 - 6:50 amThis car is a head-turner, everyone comments on it. Took a friend for a ride and he said "I didnt think they made cars like this anymore, this thing is unbelievable. I had the GT-500 stripes, side window louvers, taillight bezels and special grill added to this. I am planning to add a Roush supercharger to take this to 415hp. I love this car. This is the most customizable car on the planet. There are thousands of cool add on parts for this car.

A Great Pony - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Snotrocket - June 19 - 9:13 amI bought mine new in July of 06. v6 Legend Lime w/pony package. I went with the V6 due to price and insurance cost. After adding a S&B CAI, Predator tune, and GT muffler, I bumped up the hp to that of a small block v8, about 240hp. A 4:10 is going in shortly to makeup for the automatic. The v6 is a great platform to start off on if your on a tight budget. Responds well to S/Cs which take the v6 to the 310hp range. I dont have that many miles on the car, but I havent had any issues with it. I still get many compliments from people when I am out and about. I have no regrets with this car. Its a blast.

Good car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By good car - June 12 - 12:33 pmLoved the car. Im 6,5" 260 bodybuider frame and never felt crowded, lots of legroom. Usually got around 22 mpg per fiilup. No problems. Just got the fever for the new Jeep unlimited Sahara 4dr, but will probably regret the trade

Nice Pony - 2006 Ford Mustang
By david - June 11 - 9:28 amOptions on our car include the Pony package, leather seats and upgraded stereo. Having owned a 65 Mustang Fastback for many years I really wasnt expecting to be impressed by the new Mustangs. Boy was I wrong. With each session behind the wheel of the new Pony, the poor handling, braking and lack of air conditioning of my classic Pony becomes even more evident. The new Pony really is more fun to drive. Even though I bought the car for my daughter, I do get to drive it when it needs gas. Which isnt that often since the peppy V6 gets 18-20mpg in town & 26-30 mpg on the road. So many styling cues taken from the early Mustangs I feel right at home in this car.

Mustang Sally - 2006 Ford Mustang
By arblanken - June 11 - 8:08 amIt look me years and years to get my Mustang. Wanted a 66 because of the body style but had to wait for the restore until "my body style" was available. Love the car, the gas mileage is ok with the tough gas prices lately, but love the car!

Just Good - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Brian Schrock - June 11 - 2:07 amThe car is a great commuter car. Not really a quick car (0-60mph 7-7.3 sec) from my experience (I have an auto). The tires are loud on the freeway and can get annoying on long trips. The ride comfort on the freeway is good, but a litle stiff on city roads. Also there is a lot of body roll while cornering at over 18 mph. The transmission shifts nice and smooth, but it is not the quickest shifting transmission. The fuel economy is not bad in the city I get 18-20 mpg, but if I use cruise control on the freeway I average 24-28 mpg.
