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.

  Great Ride! - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Shivel - December 30 - 6:16 am

  I had wanted a Mustang since my teen years and bought one 30 years later. I bought the base model. I havent had any trouble with it since purchasing. Has great get up and go I love shifting gears! Holds the road great and that says something with all the winding country roads we have in WV. Good gas mileage on the highway, not so good in city.

  Drive It Like I Stole It - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By luangtom - December 21 - 12:01 am

  I got back into the Mustang as a retiree and do not regret it. It is a fun car to drive and fulfills all my needs as a daily driver. Ya gotta love the V8 using regular-gas. It is also easily personalized and that is what I am in the process of doing.

  Great car, and holds up well - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Brandon - STANG281 - August 16 - 7:54 pm

  Ive 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 am

  The 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.

  If only I could afford the V-8 - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Sean - July 12 - 8:50 pm

  My 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.

  Mustang Sally - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By arblanken - June 11 - 8:08 am

  It 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 am

  The 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.

  Great car until you have to put gas in - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By scott - May 7 - 3:31 pm

  We bought the car new 2/06. By August had trouble fueling it. Ford said some cars are hard to put gas in. They did nothing about. Will not do anything about it even under warranty. For me, it cured me of ever owning a Ford again. Much less a mustang

  Not Very Reliable! - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Jarred - September 12 - 1:32 pm

  I love my Mustang but I have had so many problems with it I wish I could get rid of it! The first problem was the rear end started leaking at 2,000 miles, fixed. Hood insulation started burning at 2,500, fixed. Trunk popped on its own, fixed after 3 dealer visits. No start or die at idle, dealer cant find a problem. Mustang stripes below doors bubbled up, not fixed! Two weeks ago my car totally died, after fighting with Corporte Ford a week they let the dealer look at it, ignition coil pack fell off, yeah fell off, how in the hell! Car still dies and trembles hard at low RPMs! Oh to top it off Ford gave me a Chevy Cobalt to drive while they fixed mine...Id buy a Cobalt, thats the truth!

  Waited 30 years to buy one - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By djsdad - September 3 - 7:50 pm

  Have had this car for 2 months and every day I like it more. The retro styling won me over the first time I saw one. 6 cylinder 5 speed fun to drive - wish gas mileage was better but thats mostly my fault. Very comfortable to drive but this is not for someone who actually wants to put passengers in the back seat, unless all four of you are short.
