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.

  • Owner - 2006 Ford Mustang

    When I first test drove this car I was truly amazed at the way it performed. I had been driving SUVs for many years and the thought of a rear-wheel drive car was unrealistic. It handles extremely well, its sharp looking (Im always getting compliments on it) and it truly is fun to drive. I am completely sold!

    I am 37 and have never owned anything but GM cars or trucks. I have always bought REAR-wheel drive automobiles and the 2006 Ford Mustang was the best bang for the buck. I purchased the V-6 (my first - always have owned v-8s) due to the rising fuel costs. The Mustang handles well and accelerates nearly as well as my 95 Formula Firebird. Ford really did their homework well in putting together a car that captures what sports cars should look and handle like. GM - you better wake up and get the Camaro back out before you lose all your sports car followers. Lets face it, the Corvette is just too highly priced. Long live the Mustang.

  • Bills 2006 GT - 2006 Ford Mustang

    I am 58 years old and I recently purchased my first ever Ford Mustang. I built my GT on Ford Direct online with the exact options that I had to have. My local Ford dealer located my GT at another dealer with my options and we made a deal, below MSRP I might add. My absolute beauty is tungsten grey, black leather seats, 5 speed manual, 18" polished aluminum wheels, interior upgrade package with the anti-theft kit. My friends cant stop talking about how beautiful it is. Imagine, a 300 HP muscle car for under $30K. You will not find a better combination of style, power, handling & value anywhere. This GT reminds me of the 65 Fastback I dreamed of in high school but could not afford.

  • The American Muscle Car is Back! - 2006 Ford Mustang

    This is a fantastic car! The retro design is what caught my attention when I first saw one on the road in January 2005. Im 43 years old and can remember the Mustangs of the late 60s and early 70s where the new 2005/06 gets its design from. I got the 4.6L V8 deluxe with automatic transmission and I get about 20mpg overall which is not bad for a V8. The seats are firm but very comfortable. Ive taken one trip so far that was 4 hours long and I didnt feel worn out or tired at all at my destination. The car is also very well balanced and feels as though its "glued" to the road at higher speeds and there was no vibration in the steering wheel.

    Ive always wanted a retro style Mustang and now that Ive got it, I couldnt be happier. Excellent handling and enough power in the V6 that you dont need to drop the extra for the V8. Seat belts are tight, but that adds to the sports car/power feel. I have people stop me almost every day to compliment my car. Wouldnt have gotten it without the Pony package. Just adds exactly what is needed to make this one incredible machine!

    I just purchased this car at the beginning of the month, and I absolutely love it. Its very fun to drive and the design is classy. I feel very lucky that my parents bought me this great car. I would recommend it to anyone, young or old.

  • Saddle Up, Wanna Ride Along? - 2006 Ford Mustang

    I wanted a Mustang GT when they hit the lots back in 2005. I waited so long I could not order a 2005; they had closed the order banks. I ordered my 2006 GT in November of 2005 and took delivery a week ago today and have never looked back! This car rocks! The ride quality, the design, interior and exterior is simply put, awesome!. I want to drive this car everywhere.

  • Excellent Vehicle - 2006 Ford Mustang

    I have always loved the Mustang and after buying this car I am even more in love with it. From its leather interior to its premium sound to its powerful engine, this car leaves little to be desired from any car enthusiast.

  • Makes you feel good all over - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Having worked at the San Jose assembly (home of the original Mustang) plant in QC, I was very impressed with the build quality. The seams are uniform, excellent upholstery on the premium interior. A comfortable car for the driver; as a passenger in the rear seat (I dont go there). I have the 18" wheels, and the BFG T/A G force tires work well. 1st gear is a mite short, but 2nd pulls well, and acceleration is very good, rivaling a stock 438 SCJ Mustang without the tire burning theatrics. At 61, this is a way cool ride; my daughter keeps wanting to "borrow my car," no way. This is Dads ride, sorry bout that!

  • Back in a Mustang - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Just picked up a 2006 Mustang for my wife as a surprise Xmas gift! We both absolutely love the retro styling and redfire color. The Pony Package is a real bargain with the ABS brakes and traction control included not to mention the retro grill and fog lights. The redfire color combined with the optional (color matched) Rousch side window louver covers, pony cladding, and optional pony wheel spinners make this a real head turner. It drives great! We have owned a 65, 66, and a 67 Fastback and this 2006 reminds me so much of all those years combined. Ive been waiting for Ford to get it right and return the Mustang to its glory. They finally did it! Good looks, great performance, and competitive cost.
