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.

2006 Mustang with Pony Pack - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Al - September 24 - 7:36 amFrom the living room came a call from Heather, my 16 year-old daughter, "Dad, mom needs you in the driveway! Being a dad I thought something was wrong with Kerri Ann, my 21 year-old, whom my wife said she was at the mall with. Kerri rounds the corner driving my wifes 2003 PT Cruiser. Now confused, I asked, "Where in the world is your mom?" Then the sound...the low murmur of a V6 engine with a beautifully tuned exhaust caught. Then, from around the corner, I caught the sparkle of Vista Blue paint on the unmistakable nose of a Mustang, with the 1967 GTA inspired grillwork. It was my wife behind the wheel of a new 2006 Mustang with Pony Package! Red bow and all. Life is Good!

3000 MILES / 3 NEW TOPS - 2006 Ford Mustang
By mjbeamer - September 4 - 9:13 pmMy top was torn on delivery; it is having its 3rd new top installed (the installer messed up). Most of the miles to date are going back and forth to the dealer. The interior styling is kind of stone-age, but it looks nice from the outside. Gas mileage isnt as good as I hoped. (21-22 mpg) Suggestion: Wait for the Camaro.

2006 XMAS PONY - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Andy - July 29 - 12:53 amExcellent vehicle. This has truly brought some joy back into commutes. Fun to drive coupled with great gas mileage. 1200 miles in 2 weeks and still having a great time. Smooth manual transmission allows a more sporty feel. Exhaust system could use some deepening, and a low frequency rumble has been noted at the 70 mph marker but not above it. This is a vehicle to watch your acceleration on, before you know it you are doing 60 to 70 all the time. Good Luck and enjoy this corner hugging pony.

Powered by Ford - 2006 Ford Mustang
By chris d - July 26 - 5:56 amI traded in my 03 GT for this one. Man let me tell you something, good call! Its black, fast, manual tranny, 18 inch rims stock. The cockpit is truly a thing of beauty. The old late 60s look is a real head turner. I get looks and comments all the time, from the young and old. This car blows my 03 GT out of the water. The power throws you back into the seat!

Horse Whipped - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Jim Elsasser - July 25 - 4:43 pmThis is my 8th Mustang since 1972. Its the best one yet. A thrill to drive and I love the sound of the exhaust. I bought an 05 V6 Mustang automatic and just couldnt stop thinking about the GT. Decided to trade in the 05 and havent looked back since.

Incredible Triple Black GT! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By John Catalanotto - July 21 - 3:56 amI ordered my triple black GT back on June 15th and picked it up today, December 3rd. I have to tell you it was worth the wait, I can not believe that money for money there is a better car available today. The purr of the engine, 18 bullets, leather interior, 500 watt 6 disc stereo, My Color dash and more. If you are thinking about one, stop thinking and go get it. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

1800 miles...Review #2 - 2006 Ford Mustang
By VC - June 23 - 7:30 pmCheck my first review on 6/8/06 after a week of ownership. Now Ive had my Tungsten Gray GT Premium/5 speed around 6 weeks and almost 2K on the odometer. Wow! I use the car as my daily driver (mixed commute) and Im averaging 22.5 mpg. The car has really settled in and the shifting is smoother now. I can still say that I get a smile on my face every time I fire her up plus I have gotten a lot of people to stop me just to talk about it...everyone loves it! Im still in shock that the car is so comfortable/economical for a V8 muscle car. Ford has really come a long way from my 67 Fastback 289 cu.in. in the areas of quality, driveability and safety...not to mention "out of the box" performance.

Reminds me of my 68 - 2006 Ford Mustang
By jetmyke - June 17 - 11:33 amIt was time for my wife to get a new car. She selected the V6 Mustang. It has been a good choice! We were looking at the GT, but it only gets about 17 mpg around town (real world, I work with someone who has one) and the insurance was a bit high. Our Mustang is getting 21 mpg around town, which isnt too bad for a car this size. We have the pony package, so this car has TCS, anti-lock brakes, 17" wheels and GT suspension. Well worth the money. On the open road it rides quite well and has plenty of passing power. I plan on putting a cold air induction system and a Banks free flow exhaust on the car, should bump the HP up to 245. That will be plenty of juice!

Built my Mustang for my 17 year old girl - 2006 Ford Mustang
By Mike Viafora - April 30 - 3:56 pmVery safe car for teen because it has side air bags ABS and it is almost impossible to roll over. Ordered a loaded V6 with the pony package which makes it handle like a GT with less power to get in trouble with. Did not order chrome all over dash. It puts out glare in sunny areas. No My color display.

Looks arent everything! - 2006 Ford Mustang
By ChuckH - April 20 - 11:23 pmWOW! What a GREAT looking CAR. Inside AND out! Too bad looks arent everything. Worst quality control Ive seen in years. After 3600 miles this car has had a noisy rear end, exhaust vibration, front suspension noises, and three rattles in the dash! It also takes dealers more that one trip to fix. Huge disappointment overall.
