This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • 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.
Cons:
  • No side curtain airbags or stability control, seats could use more lateral support, low-grade interior plastics.

    Love the way this car rides and handles on my back roads where I live. It is a blast to drive and is a head turner. The interior is great to look at and the Shaker 500 audio system will let you hear things you have never heard before.

    So far I have only 325 miles on the odometer and the car is still under the break-in period. There are few major changes from the 05 model. But my car has two: the new tungsten grey paint and the 18" wheels. Both are a wonderful addition. Overall, the car feels solid and rattle-free over bumps. The new 18" wheels and slightly adjusted suspension do a reasonable job of dealing with roadway ruts and potholes. The new grey paint is metallic and highly reflective. The exhaust note is worth the entire price of admission. The 5 speed manual is a joy to shift and is the best manual Ive ever owned or used. Rear seat is fairly cramped, but I expected worse.

    My first Mustang. It is incredible. The classic styling of it reminds my wife of her first car, which was a 65 Mustang! We are incredibly happy. ItÂ’s been washed and waxed truly detailed. Its beautiful.

    It is the under $30,000 bargain of the decade. Great performance, stunning looks, very comfortable on long trips and 26 mpg on the highway.

  • Overall performance of this car. - 2006 Ford Mustang

    I just purchased my new 06 convertible Mustang. All black! This car is amazing. Drives like sports car and the same time feels like you are driving an old Cadillac. I was considering getting the V6, but after driving the V8 with manual transmission, I was convinced that the V8 was my answer for my new toy! (hands down). If youre thinking about getting this car as an extra car for fun driving then I would recommend the manual V8. If you enjoy music and have an extra few dollars then get the Shaker1000.

    Always wanted a Mustang convertible! I have a Shelby Mustang so performance & fun is important. The price & insurance was surprisingly low. I lost my company car due to cost containment and never shed a tear with this as my personal replacement for transportation to and from work.

    I waited for Ford to bring back the Mustangs that I loved from the 60s. My GT convertible is a great car to drive. It has power, styling and the car sounds great.

  • I love my pony - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    We recently purchased a 2006 Mustang Coupe and instantly fell in love with it. Mustangs have been my favorite car since I first rode in one when I was a kid, so owning one now is incredible. The new body style is gorgeous and the ride is unbelievable. It handles like a dream and is very responsive. We bought a 5 speed manual so that makes it even that much more fun to drive. I mean come on...its just wrong to drive an automatic Mustang...takes the fun right out of it! I love this car and Ford did a great job redesigning it!

    I have owned many Mustangs from a 66GT, 85GT, 93LX, 99GT and a 91 GT that I traded on this car. This is far and away a better designed and assembled car. The automatic transmission in this car is the best shifting overdrive Ford transmission yet. It accelerates and shifts very fast for a stock car yet is smooth when driving normally. The power top is quiet and goes up and down quickly. The controls are laid out well and everything is within the drivers reach. The stereo is the Shaker and sounds okay (speaker placement is difficult in a convertible) but could be improved with the upgrade to the 1000. The fit and finish is the best Ive seen from Ford. No matter where you go people stare.
