  Mustang 2006 - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Shark attack - September 15 - 3:20 am

  This is the hottest car I have ever owned. It may not be as practical as a Honda Civic, but it makes up for it when youre out and about. Its a head turning gorgeous machine.

  New GT... WOW! - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By PM Escala - August 22 - 4:36 pm

  My first car was a 1967 Mustang and ever since then Ive been waiting for one to exceed it -- I found it! This 06 is the best car Ive ever owned. Ive had two Lincolns and a Cougar, but this GT just blows them out of the water. The design is great, features are basic and appropriate, and being a tall person (65") I have enough head room and leg room. Now, theres very little if no room in the back seat, but who cares? This car is all guts and glory; everything a Mustang should be. If youre looking for a touchy feely type of car, keep looking. If you care about gas mileage, this isnt the car for you. If you like speed and performance, BUY THIS CAR!

  This is one fast, fun car to drive. The engine is powerful, the 5 speed transmission shifts with ease. The Mustang GT looks great, I get comments about it everywhere I go. Shaker sound system will blow you away.

  Perfection within the framework - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Spartan - July 29 - 8:26 am

  My wife and I have had this car for 3 months and it is exactly what we wanted and expected. The 5-speed transmission is easy to operate and the horsepower is always just a pedal away. The car has nice balance and really hugs the road at speed. Tire spin and oversteer are not difficult to avoid, but reliable in their consistency with no nasty surprises if youre trying to slide around a bit. The only complaints I could make are the lack of a few creature comforts. A power passenger seat, heated seats, and climate control would be nice. But I understand that Ford left out a few frills to keep the price down. This car was designed to go fast and look good doing it. Mission accomplished.

  Mid Life Crisis Ride - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Robert E Ohara - July 9 - 5:16 am

  Ive had it for a month and its lots of fun. Every man turning 50 ought to get one. My kids like it too. Its fast. At least, so I am told; I gave up on leaving rubber about 20 years ago. Its surely a pretty car, and, with the top down, its mighty fun to drive. I like it in all respects and cant think of a thing Id change.

  One Bad Yellow Steeda - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By ScubaSteve - June 13 - 2:56 am

  I just love this car. Its a blast to drive. Add some Steeda magic to it and it leaves the competition wondering "Whered it go?" A few fit and finish issues keep it from scoring higher with me, but I love it so much, Im going to get another. A Grabber Orange convertible will be added to our stable of Fords very soon. Look for its tail lights on a street near you.

  The Pony Returns - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Terry Kauthe - June 4 - 7:26 pm

  Purchased 9/3/05. Sonic Blue/Black GT Premium Convertible w/auto, leather, IUP, upgrade rims, Shaker 1K, alarm. Convertible feels just as stable as coupe. Little to no body twist. Thats why I opted for convertible vs coupe. Very quiet w/top up under most normal conditions. Low noise w/top down. Average MPG is 21.2 for the 1st 800 miles (90% city).

  Excellent Sports Car, Reasonable Price - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By weatherbee - April 30 - 11:53 pm

  The 2006 V6 model Mustang is a definite improvement over the aging 1999-2004 models. With 210 flywheel HP, there is a noticeable and noteworthy acceleration with this car. However, do not expect to get anything close to V8 performance. It is reasonable, and will help keep insurance cost, and gas cost (compared to a V8) down. The fuel economy on this vehicle suffers when caught in stop and go traffic. I have averaged roughly 14-19 MPG, while on the freeway 23-26 MPG. For a V6 engine, the gas mileage is a slight disappointment, though I can be blamed for wanting to stomp the acceleration for the pure joy of it. Exterior design is great, while interior design feels a little cheap.

  2006 Mustang GT - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Mike Perry - April 23 - 1:06 am

  Pros: Very fast, I have the 5-speed auto and love the way it keeps up the RPM through the gear, especially the first three. It handles great and a blast to drive. Cons: Had to have the trunk lid repainted. Has a clunking in the front end at low speed on bumpy roads. Has a very prominent vibration at approximately 1200 RPM. Dealership said front end is OK and the vibration is resonation from the exhaust. I have my doubts.
