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.

Dreams are well worth working for! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By MustangKenny - August 16 - 11:41 pmIve 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 carl - August 15 - 9:20 pmFord 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.

First Ford - 2006 Ford Mustang
By spike - August 15 - 12:37 pmI 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

Cant touch it for the money - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Macdadtexas - August 2 - 2:06 amFor what is really an inexpensive car, I have had more fun driving daily than any other vehicle I have ever owned. The level of performance that is available right off the showroom floor for $30k cannot even be contemplated by any other car. Throw in the fact that Ford understands and embraces the aftermarket phenomenon for Mustangs, and that the car is built for add-ons, and it can be a fun hobby. Spend an extra $10k in upgrades and you have a car that challenges Porches, and blows away Corvettes. Great job on this one Ford, now work on the rest of your line.

My show car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Cricket - July 26 - 4:51 pmLove "Mr. Steed". He is a "Bickford Built" one-off commemorative of a 1960 GT350 with $10,000 in upgrades. I have entered him in 6 Mustang Club of America National shows and he has won first place every time.

What a car - 2006 Ford Mustang
By carlisleandy - July 26 - 1:46 amThis is one of the nicest and fun cars I have owned, and I have had plenty of sports cars. I get alot of compliments, and the sound and power is unbelievable. This car is pretty comfortable on long trips, part of the reason is for the redesigned seats compaired to the 01 mustang GT I owned.

I have wanted a Mustang for 40 years. - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Don Watson - July 18 - 3:29 amI bought my car from an auction I work at ( Adesa Sacramento ) and I love it!! It is a v6 with an air aid cold air injector, throttle body spacer and a Flowmaster exhaust. The previous owner also added blacked out 17 inch factory rims. This beast will smoke any G6 or v6 camaro out there.... If you can buy a base model and do the bolt on stuff yourself do it!!!!

Local Boy Makes Good - 2006 Ford Mustang
By BigBeau - July 11 - 5:13 pmTook delivery in early January and due to the seasonal weather conditions had to wait 3 weeks to drop the top. I have had limited opportunity to really go through this vehicle but, as is, it runs like a scalded pup. The suspension and handling exceed expectations. All of the amenities that came with this car are substantial. As the aftermarket for the Mustang is so vast, Im looking forward to shopping for any "personal touch" items that I might add to this light blue pony. At age 55, the only thing I might consider right away would be installing a defibrillator -- oh yeah, its that much fun to drive. Tops down, everybody!

Like this car a lot - 2006 Ford Mustang
By pappydave - July 11 - 8:08 amI currently have 31,000 miles on this car and it has never been back to the dealer. I have been doing oil changes and routine maintenance. The only complaint I have is the Road noise seems a little loud to me. I get 25 MPG driving to work - mixed city/rural, and got 28 on a long trip on the freeway.
