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.

    I get mad looks when I am driving around town -- everyone likes to stop and talk about this car. I just got back from Iraq and I put a lot of highway miles on this baby. Passing those big rigs was/is fun and easy with this V8.

  • Fun to Drive - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have not been disappointed. This Mustang is Fun to Drive. It has get up and go, corners beautifully, and isnt bad at the pumps. The sound system is superb and easy to use. If you desire a head turner this is your car. For comfort I have enjoyed every mile Ive put on. It rides like a sports car and you will feel the bumps in the road but to me that is ok! This vehicle has my highest recommendation. Buy one and you will enjoy every minute in it

  • CLUNKY - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My 06 GT 5 speed transmission AND rear end clunk so bad, I hate to drive this car! Im a retired dealership auto technician, and cannot believe I cannot find other complaints on this particular problem. Yes, I’m very coordinated when shifting, but it’s impossible to even drive this car w/out this annoying issue. It makes me hate the car. When downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, it acts as if the clutch isnt completely disengaging ... the transmission dont grind, but it makes an awful noise. I’ve never banged a gear, or been to the drag strip. I’d be afraid the driveshaft would come through the floor! Very dissatisfied customer. This is my 4th Stang since 1994.

  • Ford Mustang GT Deluxe Convertible - 2006 Ford Mustang

    This is a great car to cruise in, to commute in, and to have fun being "bad" in. The power and the sound of the throaty exhaust will always put a smile on your face. Therapists should have very little business from owners of this vehicle. It looks great, handles surprisingly well, and has power to spare. My only regret is that I did not buy this car a year ago!

  • 06 GT - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ford did a great job with the style of this Mustang, however mine is in the shop for a new engine due to number 7 cylinder. Also, you will notice a piece of tape covering a hole in the firewall under the brake booster. I have contacted Ford about this but never got a reply. Once this tape dry rots and falls off, water and air will be able to come in to the interior. From what I have seen, they all have the tape covering this hole...so beware. Other then these problems, I love the car. Ford: pay attention and answer your emails and phone request for answers please.

  • Meet Isabella - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I fell in love with this car at first sight. I had been casually looking for a convertible for about 3 years. When I first saw it on TV in January 2005, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I have always had a sweet spot for the old Mustang GTs, but knew it still had some bugs. What turned my head was the retro body style. What hooked me was how the car performed. After my first test drive I was blown away. The car felt very stable on the road and around sharp corners (really fun actually!) If you were to consider getting the Mustang GT the one thing I would absolutely insist on would be traction control. The GT still has a light rear-end (much better than 2004), traction control is a must!

  • sounds like a can of loose rocks - 2006 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I bought my 2006 mistake this month (04 - 2006), and really thought I was getting a good car, but every time I shift, it shudders and clunks as if the drivetrain is going to fall off the car. I took it in on 04-26-06 to have it checked out. They came back and said they called Fords hot line and Ford told them to drive another Mustang with a 5 speed and see if it does the same thing Well it did, so Ford said that it is normal then, that they wont fix it because all the other v6 5 speeds make the same clunks on them, and if they get a lot of complaints on that, then they will research on that problem! Stay away from the V-6 5 speed.
