This Year's Model Updates:

Following up on interior and exterior revisions last year, the 2011 Ford Mustang receives all-new engines this year, including a 305-horsepower V6 and a 412-hp V8. They're backed up to new six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Other changes include a switch to electric power steering (from hydraulic), larger brakes, revised suspension tuning, added noise insulation, additional body bracing for the GT convertible, blind-spot mirrors and Ford's MyKey system.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6 and V8 engines, available Ford Sync system, good performance bang for the buck.
Cons:
  • Near ubiquitous street presence, no telescoping steering wheel.

  • 5.0 back just in time! - 2011 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This vehicle is incredible! I had a 2005 GT convertible that I regret having to sell due to financial reasons. However, when it came time to purchase a new car in 2010, I had my heart set on a muscle car again. I had already decided on the 2010 Mustang GT (after considering the Camaro) when I heard news of the 2011 with the new 5.0 engine! The car has a great ride with exceptional styling! It roars when accelerating, but at the same time is tame when cruising along. Perfect combo! The 412 HP really kicks! And no matter what, dont let the salesmen at a dealer convince you the car isnt going for under msrp! I got mine well under msrp!

    I have had this car about a week, it is a manual transmission. So far I cannot stop looking at it, very pleasing to the eye. Driving it is a lot of fun, I know I know its not a V8 but it has enough power for the average person who is looking for a fun affordable car. My car has the 3.31 gears, but I think it would benefit highly with a 3.73, if you are not worried about fuel economy and want a little more oomph. Having said that I would highly recommend this car to anyone in the market for a Sports car. The fuel economy is also very surprising considering the way I have been driving it. BUY IT ! Well done Ford!

  • Greatest Car In Terms of Value - 2011 Ford Mustang

    This car is absolutely astonishing. Sync is awesome, the performance is great, there is nothing lacking in this car. On Motor Trend this car posts 0-60 runs of 5.1 seconds, on par with the 2010 mustang gt. Also the lateral acceleration is 0.97g, better than the current M3. This package all for under 30,000 is equivalent to the bargain of the century.

  • The 5.0 is back - 2011 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I ordered this car months ago, 6spd coupe, Brembo Brakes, 3.73s. It was just going to be a fun commuter car and it has not disappointed. The engine pulls very strongly, especially in the upper rev ranges yet is docile in daily driving and it was TOO quiet when I bought it. I have since changed the exhaust. The ride is firm, but not brutal but handles like its on rails. I got a basic deluxe package so the interior is no frills. Dont even have a pwr driver seat. The benefit to not having the "goodies" is a light weight. At a truck weigh station it weighed 3480 lb with a quarter tank of gas. The new steering system feels great too.

    Amazing performance from a V6. Love the interior on the premium package. Just enough exhaust note while driving to not be annoying. Excellent fuel economy (29) and this is my first tank of gas! Was worth the wait, order in January.

  • Best (only) Mustang since my 1969 Mach 1 - 2011 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Overall a lot of fun and a great value among high performance cars. Fit and finish to a surprising high standard...this is my first American car in many years and I had almost given up. Powertrain is awesome and electronics suite is better than my Audi. Ergonomics and cabin convenience are sorely lacking. Glove box wont even hold manuals. No place to put mailbox keys etc. Cupholder makes shifting clumsy and needs better design. Yes, we do need a water bottle in the car in an AZ summer.

  • Zoom! Cruisin in my 5.0 - 2011 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car rocks. It is Extremely fast, it feels like it leaps when you step on it. The brakes and the steering are much better than the 2010. the electric steering makes it easy to park, handles great. I have put 300 miles on it so far and averaged 21 MPG, mostly short trips with a couple of 0-60 runs, this car should do every bit of 25 MPG on the Highway. The ride is comfortable and the car gets a lot of attention. My ride is Kona Blue with dark leather and an automatic trans. I got the base rims with the all seasons and grip the road just fine, you dont need the upgraded tires unless you are taking it to the track. the Sync comes 3 years free, works like onstar. stereo sounds great.

    I have had my V6 Mustang for about a week and LOVE it. I am averaging 22 mpg in combined driving and has amazing power. i can not believe how much attention I am getting with a base Mustang. I have the 6 spd manual and 3.31 axel ratio.

  • Perfect car - 2011 Ford Mustang

    Do your research, this is a car that dealers like to overprice due to it being eye candy for the dealer lot, a great deal can be had all you need is persistence
