2013 vs 1969 - 2013 Ford Mustang
By John - January 3 - 11:18 amI had a 69 Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet. This 6 cylinder 306 hp will out perform the big assed Mach 1. I had a racing Corvette pull out in front of me on a deserted state highway. I either locked up the brakes or pass him. I chose the latter. I passed him at 120 and was still accelerating. I looked over and his mouth was open. It was worth the risk of a major ticket. I still get around 27 to 29 MPG while having fun. It was used and I got it for $13,500. A sweet ride at any price.

What an awesome machine ... - 2013 Ford Mustang
By JScotty - March 25 - 1:50 pmThe whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This car is all about V-8 acceleration, aggressive styling, and rough-around-the-edges American nostalgia and attitude. Its about the mechanical beauty and intoxicating exhaust note of the Coyote 5-liter V-8. Its about feeling a little bit like Steve McQueen every time you drive to work. And its about your kids actually wanting you to drive them places. The Mustang GT is not perfect, but nothing else quite compares - its more of a state of mind than a car. Buy the premium package with the 401A upgrade and you have little to complain about in terms of interior appearance and materials. Still some hard plastic, but hey, this is not a BMW. My wife has one of those and the interior is nicer but you pay dearly for it. My only complaint is as follows (who buys a car like this and then complains about gas mileage, noise, or rear seat accommodations?): The interior storage spaces are not well-designed. I cant keep my sunglasses or anything else useful in the door pockets, since as I dont have suction cups on my fingers, retrieving them is a two-handed operation involving scraped knuckles and bad language. The cup holders are horribly placed for a manual transmission car. The first month I owned the car I kept deploying the console bin lid with my elbow. These things make little sense to me in a car thats built mainly for the fun of driving. But thats really it.

100,000 a I still dont want to say goodbye! - 2013 Ford Mustang
By Ann - July 7 - 11:40 pmI bought the car used at 25,000 miles and have had no major repairs. Its great for the two of us to go on trips. 3 of us took it on a 1000 mile trip and we did ok. Just needed to pack light. Our original plans were to upgrade at 90,000 miles-but I just cant part with it.
