  over all to this point - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Randall Bateson - December 9 - 12:57 am

  The car as a whole is truly awesome so far. Its too early to rate reliability having few miles and not owning long yet. The handling is very solid. The more power you apply in the turns the more the car grips the road. Love the way it feels going down the road. Manual trans is very smooth and responsive. It is a coupe so its kind of hard to get in and out of the car. But this is expected for the style of car it is. And it was known going in looking at the Stangs. I would recommend this vehicle to this point. All though I could NOT recommend the dealer!

  No longer an Ecoboost Skeptic - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By szaheer - August 8 - 9:09 pm

  I have always been skeptical of an ecoboost mustang, this car however is a fantastic surprise. Great acceleration , great handling and a fantastic interior (premium). Be aware, blind spots are an issue, so BLISS maybe a worthwhile investment. Overall, driving to work is now something I look forward to!

  Love my GT even more daily - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Alex - January 22 - 1:31 am

  This is my first Mustang ever as well as my first convertible. I never had a family member to own one or a close friend. I had "friends" in high school that did, but never rode in one. I rented this vehicle in August of this year and loved it from the start. The feeling of being in a convertible is like no other driving experience I have ever had. I also had never driven a V8 before either. It was a pure endorphin/adrenaline rush. During my car research I looked also looked at the Camaro 2SS, while it was truly a great car it was just too expensive. Another deciding factor in choosing the Mustang was that I had watched "A Faster Horse" on Netflix. For those who havent watched the documentary it is a great film on how they designed and made the new 2015 model as well as how the original come to be. I just felt more of a connection to the Mustang and honestly Chevy had burned me before on a 98 Malibu I bought new. Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned. So it was an uphill battle for them anyway. So the car itself....biggest pro to me is the look of the car. I just stare at it in my garage and when I walk up to it at the grocery store. It is a race red black top GT and it is gorgeous in my opinion. Some folks dont like the new design, but I would not have considered this car without the new design. The other biggest pro is the power. Why you would buy an Ecoboost or a V6 in a Mustang is beyond me. Yes the gas mileage sucks, but man that car rumbles and has sooooo much character that you just dont get in the other smaller engines. It makes me smile every time I push the start button. Finally, the other pluses is all the technology in the car. This thing has got it all....I wont list them here as you can check it out yourself, but a hidden gem I found is that you can program your key so that the car wont go over a certain speed and the radio wont go over a certain level. It also tracks the miles put on the car with that key. So if I want my son, who is 16 and gets giddy every time I let him drive it (Im in the car with him), to drive it without me at least it is the realm of a discussion to be considered. The biggest downside to this car is the ride. It is bumpy and I mean BUMPY. You feel every divot in the road. I know this isnt a luxury car....I got that and I wasnt expecting a BMW cloud feeling, but for the first time ever I got slightly car sick after a 5 hour drive to see my family for the holidays. We had to stop so I could get rid of the motion headache I had. So, that is a big bummer. I feel that if they could have made the "Normal" mode just a bit smoother on the suspension that they would have a perfect car. Now I own it and I am sure I will get used to it. It does not diminish how I feel about the car overall. I love driving it around town, but wont be taking it on any long trips without at least a half a Bonine in my system. I do look forward to taking it to the beach...I mean.....its a convertible...that is a requirement. The gas mileage is what you would expect from a V8....not very good. However, I was getting 27mpg on the interstate with cruise control on, but city is 18 to 19. A few other things to note before I close is that the feel of the steering wheel is great and adjustable with the steering mode. I keep it on Comfortable while driving around town, but kick it back to sport when I want to push it. The SYNC system is great, but I am still fighting the voice command a bit as she doesnt always understand me. A bit more work could go into that aspect of the software. The biggest thing here is that the car is just fun to drive. I didnt go for practical, I went for fun and if you want a fun car.... get the Mustang GT, and if you are feeling really spirited...make it a convertible.

  Cool car! - 2016 Ford Mustang

  Great car horrible engine - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Jon - March 6 - 9:22 pm

  Ive had this car as a rental for 8 days. The ride is very smooth and supple. There is some cowl shake at times but its mostly well controlled. With the top up road noise is muted from the tires but noise comes through the windows easily. The ecoboost 4 cylinder is no where near 5.9-6.1 in the convertible. Best time I got was 6.9 It lacks any authority in acceleration and is a very poor choice. The fuel ole age I got was 19.3 mpg My 5.7 Hemi manual challenger gets that. The seats are quite good as I have three bad discs and spinal stenosis and arthritis in my sacrum and these seats were a dream. The stereo system leaves a lot to be desired. My Boston acoustics in my challenger easily outperforms the shaker system. I rented this car to see if I want to buy it. I do but not this powertrain. Do Im either left to v6 with no options allowed by fire or step up to the GT. This powertrain is a joke.

  Lots of great couple not so good - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By NIck Minneti - February 21 - 12:56 am

  Fit finish are great. Features are impressive, especially the telemetry and endless things to monitor on the dash. Back up camera is awesome...and this is the lower end one. The v6 has power to spare and the ride is awesome. The wife loves the adjustable steering response. The Bluetooth has been a pain but it works. It would be nice if the delivery of the vehicle included a checklist of features on the vehicle...there seems go be a lot of confusion as to what we do and dont have installed. Also, moving the seats is clunky, folding them to get access to the back seats is clumsy. Overall, this is a very cool car!

  only ford I wanted - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Greg - December 7 - 8:09 am

  On the test drive I didnt put it through its paces. After taking it easy for the first 300 miles I was able to go down some higher speed (65-70 mph) roads. The drive train had a vibration. The dealer indexed the drive shaft. Didnt help. They ordered another one. Didnt help. They indexed that one and the problem was fixed. The bad part was that the dealer said the vibration was normal for a Mustang. I had to talk to the dealership owner to get it fixed. I checked online and found out it is a common problem. I really enjoy it now. The only real downfall now is that the passenger seat is very low and on mine its not adjustable for height. My wife is short and has to sit on a cushion to see over the dash.
