  • Crazy Coyote - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This is a straight-up serious sports car (finally). Now that Ford (finally) gave the Mustang a fully independent rear suspension, this is the car Lee Iaccoca envisioned when he originally designed it to be a sports car. Older GTs had way too much power for the rear-end (and they would fish-tail forever - which is NOT good). This iteration stays pretty much sticky to the ground (much less fish-tailing) and a more controlled ride under full throttle. It has a nice sound (not overly so) with 5.0L V8, the Coyote engine is fun to drive at high-end revs and low end too. Has all the bells/whistles anyone would want (and even some you might not want?). Front seats are comfortable and supportive. Back seats are a little less than small (but this is more of a glorified 2-seater, anyways). Fit and finish is good (have just under 17K miles and no rattles or clunks. I do wish the bluetooth phone (Sync) was a bit more clear (voices are sometimes difficult to hear, more bass than treble- Ford says this is "normal"?). But my older Prius has tone adjustments for calls. Im getting about 27mpg on the highway and about 18mpg in the city (22mpg overall). I use premium unleaded fuel (you can use any grade but the only way youre going to get the factory spec - 435HP, is to use the good stuff). Sound system is good (wish it were a bit louder?). Love the lane-sensors, which tells you there is a vehicle in your blind spots. Visibility out of the Mustang is just OK (its low to the ground but way better than the Camaro). Best Mustang GT, to date. Now go get one.

  • Really fun car - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car is an entry-level sports car that begs to have a great time. It handles extremely well and power is abundant. Shifting is smooth and have worn the Pirelli Zero rears in about 8500 miles. Other than that the car has been a pleasure to drive,my wife thinks the Impact Blue is sexy and I love floorring it whenever possible. Just too much fun to drive-every time!

  • Mustang GT convertible fan - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    If youre looking for a commuter car to take the kids to soccer practice, this isnt the car for you. It doesnt turn on a dime, it doesnt have a lot of trunk space, and if youre looking for lots of places to store maps and sunglasses and purses and/or man bags, this also is not the car for you. I didnt want any of the things I mentioned. I wanted a convertible with a big V-8, a nice loud engine, a comfortable front seat, and a top that didnt take an engineering degree to put down. I got all of that and more with my 2015 mustang gt premium convertible with automatic transmission. Manual transmission was not an option as I am somewhat handicapped, but who cares? I put the accelerator to the floor and my mustang jumps ahead of traffic with a nice growl of the engine and pushes you back into the seat. The interior looks great. More leather and less plastic than the 2014 model. The audio system is amazing and rumbles just as loud as the engine. Putting the top down is quick and easy. Ive had the car for about a month and I get compliments at the intersection as well as the parking lot at the grocery store. Its a pleasure to drive and I couldnt be happier. I had a 1983 mustang gt convertible years ago but there is no comparison. Before you get to critical, try driving the new GT.

  • Vibrating Mustang - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Major problem with drive line vibration on the new Mustang..Google it!!!I have a 2015 base Mustang v-6 and it vibrates between 50 and 70. New drive shaft and still a little vibration. Ford knows of this problem and they still have not issued a T S B. Would not buy with out a careful test drive between 50 and 70.

  • Mustang Is A Disappointment! - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I leased one of the first 2015 models of the Ford Mustang EcoBoost. For years I wanted a Mustang. Never had one, but I envied those who drove those 5.0 liter pony cars. When Ford redesigned the Mustang for 2015, I WANTED one..badly. I read the reviews about the EcoBoost and the journalists RAVED about the power and gas economy of this EcoBoost wonder. I figured who needs a V8? I went to my local dealer, traded in my car, and drove off with the new Mustang. The day after I took it off the lot, nearly everyone I came across was stunned with the design of this car. No doubt, back in late 2014, it was a stunner, even though it looked kind of like a Fusion. But shortly into driving it, I felt it was lacking. The EcoBoost drove and had power like a Ford Fiesta I once rented. It felt like it completely lacked the 310 horses Ford advertised. The EcoBoost buzzed like my 2008 Altimas CVT. Loud, obnoxious, boring. The more I drove, I discovered that the brakes were already squealing as if they were worn. The radio would not pick up very powerful local stations without static. In the cold winter months, the interior window panes and the middle of the dashboard rattled constantly. The passenger side door did not match flush with the back fender. And now Ive been told that the timing cover has sprung a leak and requires a major repair by Ford. I test drove a Honda Accord Coupe V6 and the new Chevy Camaro V6. Both cars were so much more refined in interior quality and how they drove. I did not like the Camaro (felt like sitting in a black tub without windows) and the Accord was a little squirrelly on the freeway. But they were miles above the Mustang. I wanted a Mustang so badly, but I cannot wait to get out of it.

  • 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible V6 - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I just got my 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible v6 with red exterior and black interior. The driving dynamics of this car are absolutely amazing. It feels like a true sports car. The drive is firm but smooth and when you put your foot on the gas the car just flies. I remember when I was taking the car out of the dealer, numerous people passing by were commenting how beautiful the car looks in bright red. My only complaint is that the interior looks plasticy, outdated and kind of cheap. The materials are really mehhh...wish they had done something to make it look more upscale, but all I care about is how it drives and for that this car gets an A+.

  • One sassy lady - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Always loved the way the Mustang looked but never wanted one because I heard they were gas guzzlers. When I saw the 2015 Mustang I knew I had to have one and when I found out about the Ecoboost I was sold. There are no words to describe how much I love my car. It is one smooth ride with a great get up and go. I get so many comments on the way it looks. I commute 40 miles a day and only fill up once a week. There is not a lot of room in the back but its just my husband and I so I have no complaints.

  • BEWARE - driveline vibrations that Ford cannot fix - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    If you are considering buying one of these cars, be aware that there is an design/engineering issue which causes a vibration between 55-70mph. Ford cannot figure out the problem, many owners are having to leave their cars at the dealers for months waiting for parts to be ordered which may/may not be able to fix the problem. IF you are considering buying a S550 mustang (2015+) MAKE SURE you drive it to 55 MPH-70mph and pay attention to vibration. It may be subtle, it may be drastic. This isnt 1 in 50 this affects, its more likely 1 in 2 that this problem exists in. Reference: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15990 Recommendation: as pretty as they are, do not buy an S550 Mustang until Ford steps up and reengineers a solution to this problem. This may mean a completely new driveshaft, differential, and output flange for all users - BUT wait till Ford releases a TSB before you consider buying one of these.

  • This Pony has more than one trick! - 2015 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I bought this car in July 2015; traded in a 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR. The Evo was a rocket on wheels, but the Mustang is a true GT car (Grand Tourer/Gran Tourismo). Id subjectively rate this car as about 4.7, but theres no decimal in the star rating. I had test driven a 2010 GT, and HATED it. The engine was great, but the rest of the car was junk. It FELT cheap (brand new, rattled and squeaked, and only had about 15 miles on the odo). It did NOT like corners. At all. When the back end tries to beat the front around a corner, thats not a good thing. The interior was horrible, CHEAP plastic EVERYWHERE. That car had one trick ... go fast in a straight line, hoping the thing didnt vibrate apart along the way. The 2015 is several orders of magnitude better than the 2010, hands down! Particulars: The Mustang GT Coupe with a 6 spd manual has plenty of get up and go. Is it the fastest car out there? No. But, with 435 bhp on tap, it WILL move. It accelerated faster off the line than the Evo. The track functions are fun to play with in an empty parking lot, or a deserted mountain road. The brakes on this car are incredible! Gotta be really careful, as they grab FAST and HARD. There is pretty much no fade through use. So far, as for road-holding, you have to work to make it lose traction. Seriously. Taking some of the curves on the highways in Phoenix at 80+ mph is almost, dare I say it, yawn-inducing! No fuss, no muss, no worries at all. Steering is precise, and there is decent feel in the wheel. Its not like the old manual steering days, but you can still tell whats going on up front. The front seats are REALLY comfortable! I did a 16 hour road trip, only stopping for gas, and I didnt end up with any fatigue or discomfort while driving. The bolsters are good at keeping you where you need to be without being painfully intrusive like Recaros can be. Rear seats ... good for small people. I mean SMALL. Three feet or less. At 6 4", no "car" is easy to get into or out of. Trucks, yes. Cars? No. However, for average height people, entry/exit is a breeze. Ford did a really good job with the noise dampening. The stock exhaust has a pleasant, albeit quiet, growl at highway speeds. However, tire noise on worn tires can be a bit intrusive, but not obnoxiously so. Ride comfort ... see above about the 16 hour road trip. There are sufficient cubbies to lose stuff in. The instrumentation is clear and easy to read most of the time. There are occasions when the auto setting for lighting is less than ideal, like exiting a tunnel. The dash is pretty dark at that point and you may not be able to read the instruments until the lights kick back off. The interior is well laid-out and the controls are easily within reach. Commonly used controls are in good spots. The materials used are generally MUCH better than in previous generation Mustangs, but dont expect a Rolls Royce or Bentley. The radio is pretty good. I dont have navigation, but getting my phone hooked up to Sync was pretty easy. There are two USB ports for connecting/charging devices, or you could stream audio via BT. Climate controls are easily reached and used, and the heater/A/C both work well. The only niggling little things that I find annoying are a rattle that has developed behind the center dash stack, and the tendency of the transmission to be a bit balky shifting into 6th. Otherwise, I think this car really does follow the spirit or intent of a GT (Grand Tourer/Gran Tourismo) vehicle. It has power, comfort, poise, and style without getting into cartoonish or boy racer realms. While this car may have been marketed to a younger audience, it should also appeal to folks over 40 who dont have to worry about kids in the back seat. It can represent on the track as well as devour long miles in comfort. This is probably THE best Mustang Ford has ever produced! The early models in the 60s were great, but thanks to 50 years of evolution, these are just better in pretty much every way. It aint perfect, but it aint far from it, either. EDIT: Corrected a couple of grammatical issues. Also, wanted to add that, for the price (mine was just over $32K), you really cant beat it. The Evo was $47K! I would seriously recommend you check this car out before going for pricier European options, or even other American options. Ive driven Challengers and was not impressed. I drove an older Camaro (2011), and like it, but I like my Mustang better. Its not gonna be for everyone, but it should be tested before being removed from consideration!
