This Year's Model Updates:

The 2010 Ford Mustang puts a bounce in its gallop with rejuvenated styling inside and out. It also boasts larger wheels, standard stability control and more power for the V8-powered GT model. Handling has been improved across the board, and the GT benefits from suspension tuning from last year's discontinued Bullitt edition. An optional GT TrackPack further sharpens the Mustang GT's suspension for track duty. Additionally, Ford's voice-activated Sync multimedia integration system is now available for the Mustang.

Pros:
  • Powerful acceleration and great V8 soundtrack in GT trim, available Ford Sync system, good performance bang for the buck with the V8.
Cons:
  • Weak and outdated V6, unimpressive fuel economy all around.

    I just purchased my 2010 Mustang V6 Automatic about 6 months ago, used, from a Ford dealer. The best part of this car is the looks, its a very pretty car, and the interior has a nice look (though lacking in quality). The power is lacking. It drives and handles like a Toyota Camry not what you would expect. This V6 is just a family sedan on a sports car platform, for a little over 20 grand, THAT is why the mustang is desirable. If you want overwhelming power or speed, then get the GT, the real mustang. Long story short, Id prefer a 2007 C230 over this, but, the Mustang is a nice vehicle.

  • Fords Character Machine is [non-permissible content removed] - 2010 Ford Mustang

    I wanted a Mustang GT since I was 16. I was taking a walk around at my local dealers lot while my Fusion was being serviced and seen the black on black 5 speed GT. I wasnt planning on buying at the time but with only 10k km (6200 miles) on it and a price tag of half of that of the new Stangs I was sold. This is a dream come true. The car feels very solid and sounds great. There is power in every gear and at any rev. Most importantly, the car has character, which is missing from all these new boring cars rolling out. I chose the 10s over the 11s because the 4.6 is tried and true. Also heard about issues with the new 6 speed. Best bang for the buck I ever spent on a car.

    I bought my Mustang in April and it by far surpassed my expectations! I am 18 years old and this is one of the best purchases iv ever made. Everyone disses the V6 pony saying its a dog I would argue til Im blue in the face. I have outran V8s in my Mustang and the acceleration would make you think its a V8. Performance is good but what about handling? Its a rough riding car. Im not gonna lie. Personally, I like it. I like feeling every bump in the road and knowing the terrain im on. But since its bumpy as crud, it turns like a sports car. I can take 40 mph turns at 75. Kinda scary but shell take it! The outside looks somewhat retro but pretty cool. Its the inside that gets me. My color!

  • Good Mustang - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I got it as my company car, so I couldnt choose the premium version. The basic version lacks a lot of equipment and interior design of the premium and GT, so definitely get the more equipped versions. To my surprise, the 4.0 is actually a pretty good engine for a daily driver, the engine has very good torque for off the line acceleration and it almost sounds like a V8. Exterior Design is subjective but I honestly love it, unmistakably a Mustang. Ride is a little rough over harsh roads and the back end is a bit jumpy, but hey it´s a mustang and all of them are like that.

  • I wish it were true - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My 2010 GT Premium started life being scratched by the dealer before I got it. That took 5 days in total to fix. It now has less than 800 miles on it and its been back in the shop twice. This last time, its been two weeks. The problem was a major rattle coming from inside the dash. Only solution was for dealer to replace dash. Nearly two weeks and the dealer is waiting for the new dash to arrive from Ford. By the time I get it back Im sure the new car smell that it had will have been replaced by the smells usually found in a service department. I wish Id bought something else.

  • Exterior & Handling great - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I was shopping for Lexus & Lincoln. I owned three Lincoln Mark V111. They do not make coups anymore. Lexus Toyota still has stigma of accelerator problems. Mustang is fun to drive. I may have to sacrifice Suspension comfort of Lexus E350. But Lexus looks are not appealing.You may want to improve interior & quality of trunk carpet.

  • Step In The Right Direction - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    20 years since my 86LX 5.0. Just bought a 2010 GT. This is a huge improvement with solid handling, strong and flexible V8 with a fantastic sound. I ordered 3.73 gears with a manual trans which do not disappoint. I knew mileage would suffer, but I like the extra push in the back. Interior is very nice with a clean layout and comfortable seats. Very quiet and composed in normal driving. Its not a sports car and not an all out drag car(though its plenty quick), but it is the original pony car, the best iteration to date, and the most enjoyable car Ive driven under $30k.

  • Wheel well covers rattle! - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love my grabber blue mustang. The only issue I have with the car is the rattling noise coming from the wheel well covers. My dealership let me take out a few 2010 models like mine and they do the same thing. A review was sent into the Ford Co. Other then that I have no issues on wet pavement or massive puddles here in FL.

  • Mixed bag - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Having put 9K on the car, here is what I’ve come away with so far: The 6 cyl is solid and steady, but feels lethargic at times. The engine response is reminiscent of a pickup truck, and even the manual tranny does little to remedy this. Doing 80 on the freeway in a straight line, the car feels planted to the pavement, but if you hit any sort of uneven surface while turning above 30 mph, the experience is unsettling for both the car and driver. If the pavement is anything but bone dry, the Stang needs skill and a steady hand. With the V8 and the suspension you get, the GT is certainly worth the extra few K.

  • Dont even miss my BMW 335i Twin Turbo - 2010 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Black on Black GT premium coupe, automatic, 19 inch wheels, comfort package with heated seats. I am very impressed with this car and after coming out of a BMW that is saying a lot. I feel proud to be supporting an American Company and especially when they are building cars like this. The engine sound is intoxicating. The overall feel behind the wheel will take you back to your more youthful self. I am 65" and a big guy and I have no problems fitting in the car comfortably. Everyone wants to compare this car to the Camaro but have you sat in one? They should be ashamed to make such an ugly interior plus Ford did not take any bail out money! I now own 2 2010 Fords and love the direction.
