  Im 33 and this is my 5th Mustang, Love LOVE it - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By Mandi Williams - September 29 - 8:53 am

  Coming from someone who has owned a 1964 1/2, 1995, 2000, 2005 and now 2015 the 2015 is by far my favorite to drive. Its important to note that this Mustang handles much better on slick roads (Im hoping snow too). I live in Ohio and deal with very harsh winters and driving a Mustang can put a damper on your parade when trying to get to work. Since I bought the car just this summer Im not sure how it will do in the snow, but Ive had zero problems in the rain. I dont slide around in it like I did in my other ones. This Mustang reminds me more of a sports car than a muscle car (which I happen to like). Even the base model offers many, many features. (my favs backup camera, bluetooth, push button start, keyless entry, steering mode, etc). The only complaints I have about my car is the lack of storage space in the cabin (where is my sunglasses holder??) and no XM on the base model.

  New Pony is a real treat - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By Robert - July 22 - 3:01 pm

  So I loved it from the beginning, but then I’m from Europe and would prefer a slim, elegant vehicle over a box on wheels, especially one that looks this great and has a powerful engine with manual transmission at a price that only gets me a third of an equally powered Mercedes-Benz AMG of BMW M series. Some people may decry the morphing of the new Mustang look from retro Americana to sleek James Bond, but I think it remains the icon, only with a style and driving dynamics that finally caught up to discerning global tastes at a value proposition that’s simply unbeatable. How the folks at Ford can give us this much power at $40k, I don’t know. While its appeal should be global, the car still attracts traditional muscle car enthusiasts. Random guys on motorbikes and other sporty vehicles have shadowed me lately and some drove alongside the Mustang to check it out, to then accelerate and pass with a thumbs-up. By far the most impressive part is the handling, my Recaro seats hold me tightly when cornering, and the Pirellis push the dangers beyond my own driver limits. Acceleration is smooth and seems to redline way too early, a beautiful transmission is a pleasure to shift, the responsive steering has three settings from comfort to normal to sports mode, and the sound of the 8cyl is aggressive enough to make me smile every time I push the start button. Only thing I regret is getting the performance package. It requires a much smoother surface than Michigan roads can provide.

  Five shop visits in the first 6,000 miles! - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By icarumba - June 8 - 11:30 pm

  Fords complete indifference to customer satisfaction and its insistence in producing an unreliable product has ruined yet another potentially world-class car. This car is a blast to drive, but the abysmal quality is surpassed only by the arrogance of its dealers. In the first 5 months of ownership I have had the following issues: *Rumbling and vibration between 50 & 70 mph. *Drive shaft replaced at 1100 miles. *A/C not cooling properly/blower fan surges. *Radio malfunctioned 3 times, replaced once. *Windshield wipers malfunctioned. *Both front seatbacks have mechanical issues. *The amount of Convertible "cowl shake" has gone from acceptable to "wet noodle" in only 6000 miles!

  Extremely satisfied with EcoBoost Premium (A/T) - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By mojo_mike - May 11 - 5:43 am

  Im thrilled with the EcoStang. Nice power / torque as delivered. Have tuned the Mustang with the Cobb Accessport, and its now even more fun. The car rides / drives great for this segment. Shopped the Mustang vs. the Camaro and Challenger. The Mustang BY FAR gives you the most car for your $$$. Have heard lots of complaints about the noise the turbo makes. As delivered, its not great and could be improved upon. I know that in-line turbo 4s can be tuned to sound like something special. Highway cruising nets me an honest 33mpg, and 27 combined. Like having the variable drive modes as well as variable steering. Lets you customize the cars behavior to your mood.

  Best Mustang Ever Infotainment is Nightmare - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By simplecars - January 19 - 6:10 am

  I ordered my 2015 Mustang GT AUTOMATIC (for some reason Edmunds only lets me pick a 6 spd manual for this review) in MAY 2014. Needless to say, I wanted it early. Styling: Love it. Each angle has another inspiring look and sexy curve. WARNING: You will get compliments and questions at gas stops, etc. Car is real head turner. Performance: Outta this world. It moves quick, and the 5.0L v8 is smooth, powerful, and WOW just perfect for this car. If you like Mustangs or pony cars, you should love this car. Interior is high class, well thought out, and after 1600 miles, still wows me when I get in the drivers seat.

  Great Vehicle, But Terrible Customer Service - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By dk10 - December 24 - 8:38 am

  The last (and only) Mustang I have owned was a candy apple red 1968 "289" automatic coupe. It was my first car so of course it was awesome...but wait a minute, this 2015 V-8 GT Premium Automatic Coupe is really AWESOME! The power (very quick/fast), ride quality (firm yet smooth), comfort (very comfortable seats and quality feel interior materials) and handling (you have to drive one) are simply amazing. My wife and I had previously rented a 2014 Camaro and after 1-minute we both agreed that the 2015 Mustang is far superior to the Camaro in every way. The new Mustang is the most fun vehicle I have driven in the last 40-years! I find myself making excuses to run "errands"...fun fun fun.

  Crazy Coyote - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By PC - September 18 - 5:07 am

  This is a straight-up serious sports car (finally). Now that Ford (finally) gave the Mustang a fully independent rear suspension, this is the car Lee Iaccoca envisioned when he originally designed it to be a sports car. Older GTs had way too much power for the rear-end (and they would fish-tail forever - which is NOT good). This iteration stays pretty much sticky to the ground (much less fish-tailing) and a more controlled ride under full throttle. It has a nice sound (not overly so) with 5.0L V8, the Coyote engine is fun to drive at high-end revs and low end too. Has all the bells/whistles anyone would want (and even some you might not want?). Front seats are comfortable and supportive. Back seats are a little less than small (but this is more of a glorified 2-seater, anyways). Fit and finish is good (have just under 17K miles and no rattles or clunks. I do wish the bluetooth phone (Sync) was a bit more clear (voices are sometimes difficult to hear, more bass than treble- Ford says this is "normal"?). But my older Prius has tone adjustments for calls. Im getting about 27mpg on the highway and about 18mpg in the city (22mpg overall). I use premium unleaded fuel (you can use any grade but the only way youre going to get the factory spec - 435HP, is to use the good stuff). Sound system is good (wish it were a bit louder?). Love the lane-sensors, which tells you there is a vehicle in your blind spots. Visibility out of the Mustang is just OK (its low to the ground but way better than the Camaro). Best Mustang GT, to date. Now go get one.

  One sassy lady - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By Vicki - July 12 - 1:55 pm

  Always loved the way the Mustang looked but never wanted one because I heard they were gas guzzlers. When I saw the 2015 Mustang I knew I had to have one and when I found out about the Ecoboost I was sold. There are no words to describe how much I love my car. It is one smooth ride with a great get up and go. I get so many comments on the way it looks. I commute 40 miles a day and only fill up once a week. There is not a lot of room in the back but its just my husband and I so I have no complaints.

  This Pony has more than one trick! - 2015 Ford Mustang
  By Dave - September 2 - 11:06 pm

  I bought this car in July 2015; traded in a 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR. The Evo was a rocket on wheels, but the Mustang is a true GT car (Grand Tourer/Gran Tourismo). Id subjectively rate this car as about 4.7, but theres no decimal in the star rating. I had test driven a 2010 GT, and HATED it. The engine was great, but the rest of the car was junk. It FELT cheap (brand new, rattled and squeaked, and only had about 15 miles on the odo). It did NOT like corners. At all. When the back end tries to beat the front around a corner, thats not a good thing. The interior was horrible, CHEAP plastic EVERYWHERE. That car had one trick ... go fast in a straight line, hoping the thing didnt vibrate apart along the way. The 2015 is several orders of magnitude better than the 2010, hands down! Particulars: The Mustang GT Coupe with a 6 spd manual has plenty of get up and go. Is it the fastest car out there? No. But, with 435 bhp on tap, it WILL move. It accelerated faster off the line than the Evo. The track functions are fun to play with in an empty parking lot, or a deserted mountain road. The brakes on this car are incredible! Gotta be really careful, as they grab FAST and HARD. There is pretty much no fade through use. So far, as for road-holding, you have to work to make it lose traction. Seriously. Taking some of the curves on the highways in Phoenix at 80+ mph is almost, dare I say it, yawn-inducing! No fuss, no muss, no worries at all. Steering is precise, and there is decent feel in the wheel. Its not like the old manual steering days, but you can still tell whats going on up front. The front seats are REALLY comfortable! I did a 16 hour road trip, only stopping for gas, and I didnt end up with any fatigue or discomfort while driving. The bolsters are good at keeping you where you need to be without being painfully intrusive like Recaros can be. Rear seats ... good for small people. I mean SMALL. Three feet or less. At 6 4", no "car" is easy to get into or out of. Trucks, yes. Cars? No. However, for average height people, entry/exit is a breeze. Ford did a really good job with the noise dampening. The stock exhaust has a pleasant, albeit quiet, growl at highway speeds. However, tire noise on worn tires can be a bit intrusive, but not obnoxiously so. Ride comfort ... see above about the 16 hour road trip. There are sufficient cubbies to lose stuff in. The instrumentation is clear and easy to read most of the time. There are occasions when the auto setting for lighting is less than ideal, like exiting a tunnel. The dash is pretty dark at that point and you may not be able to read the instruments until the lights kick back off. The interior is well laid-out and the controls are easily within reach. Commonly used controls are in good spots. The materials used are generally MUCH better than in previous generation Mustangs, but dont expect a Rolls Royce or Bentley. The radio is pretty good. I dont have navigation, but getting my phone hooked up to Sync was pretty easy. There are two USB ports for connecting/charging devices, or you could stream audio via BT. Climate controls are easily reached and used, and the heater/A/C both work well. The only niggling little things that I find annoying are a rattle that has developed behind the center dash stack, and the tendency of the transmission to be a bit balky shifting into 6th. Otherwise, I think this car really does follow the spirit or intent of a GT (Grand Tourer/Gran Tourismo) vehicle. It has power, comfort, poise, and style without getting into cartoonish or boy racer realms. While this car may have been marketed to a younger audience, it should also appeal to folks over 40 who dont have to worry about kids in the back seat. It can represent on the track as well as devour long miles in comfort. This is probably THE best Mustang Ford has ever produced! The early models in the 60s were great, but thanks to 50 years of evolution, these are just better in pretty much every way. It aint perfect, but it aint far from it, either. EDIT: Corrected a couple of grammatical issues. Also, wanted to add that, for the price (mine was just over $32K), you really cant beat it. The Evo was $47K! I would seriously recommend you check this car out before going for pricier European options, or even other American options. Ive driven Challengers and was not impressed. I drove an older Camaro (2011), and like it, but I like my Mustang better. Its not gonna be for everyone, but it should be tested before being removed from consideration!
