  Poor Build Quality On the Cosmetic Parts But Fun To Drive! - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By maczs007 - February 19 - 9:39 pm

  I ordered mine from the factory, a 2013 GT Premium with 6-speed manual transmission and extra premium interior. No problems with the engine and trans as that is the main thing Ford got right (except for the occasional missed shifts in 2nd and third). One the other hand and under warranty Ford has replaced the following due to defects: left rear tail light ( visual quality issue), speaker grill (broken at factory), rear end bearings (noisy), front bumper cover (warped), rear view mirror (vibrating) and drivers leather seat cover (premature wear on welting). You would think these things would be caught in the factory is Quality was Job #1?

  No competition for the price - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By mustangdavey - July 15 - 7:05 pm

  Ill start off saying I might be biased, Im a second generation Mustang owner, and I hope this is my first of many. This car feels powerful, especially for the price. 325hp - and you can feel every pony (pun intended). Fuel economy is good, I get about 21-26 mpg highway, city can go down to 17 if its bad. It really does not feel under powered like the V6 Challenger does. Sequential turn signals are spiffy too. The one thing to be warned about, is if you are a lead foot like me, you can get some pretty scary axle hop as the suspension isnt independent like cars twice the price. And it is cruel and unusual to put adults in the back seat.

  Simple fixes could make it better - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By gam2 - July 26 - 11:39 am

  My 2013 GT (6 speed manual) was purchased new. The 2-3 shift under anything over moderate acceleration sucks. Ive also had several instances where second has been difficult as well. Rear axle hop noticed in certain situations. I am not hard on this car. It has also developed the well known engine tick. Will have to visit the dealer. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Other than that I like it.

  Went from a BMW to this, and thus far very satisfied! - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By yankeejb1 - June 30 - 11:14 pm

  After previously having a total of 9 Camaros and Firebirds, I finally "defected" from GM to Ford and bought this Mustang, and I gotta tell you its pretty awesome! And after coming straight from a problem-plagued technological-overkill-on-wheels BMW 335i, this car is quite a breath of fresh air by comparison. Sure its a bit cruder in some spots, but at the end of the day theres nothing like an all-American convertible icon with a honking V8 engine and retro style and attitude that this car has in spades.

  Not what I expected - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By kommentlhogin - April 18 - 12:39 am

  The car is quick, comfortable and smooth, but it lacks that taut, sporty, nimble feel.

  Beautiful design, but it better be your second car - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By 1happycamper - February 2 - 9:45 pm

  We purchased the 2013 Ford Mustang GT in August of 2012. It is beautifully built, nicely detailed, has the Sync system which allows hands-free calling and streaming of Pandora, etc. However, the comfort of the car is horrible!! If this is your play car only, it might work. But if you have to drive this car any distance, forget it. You can definitely feel the road, but not in a good way. Every bump hurts after a little while. And forget trying to drive it in the rain...yikes! So Ford, you did a beautiful job in making a nice car, but the comfort factor made us sell the car within 3 months.

  Ford won me over with the Boss 302 - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By drdub - September 23 - 9:29 pm

  Ill be honest...Ford has been the punchline to many of my jokes for the last 20 years. But I traded my 556-HP Cadillac CTS-V for a 2013 Boss 302 and Ive never been happier. This is a "drivers car". Its simple, its fast and it has a driver-car connection thats unlike any Ive ever experienced. Its balanced and nimble, has miles of grip, race-spec brakes and copious power. The note from the quad exhaust is absolutely sublime. But as hard and loud as it can be when driven in anger, its very comfortable and quiet when highway cruising and has just enough tech to be modern (cruise, Sync, USB/Aux, Bluetooth). The Recaro/Torsen LSD option is a must-have.

  Amazed - 2013 Ford Mustang
  By phreaks115 - July 8 - 7:47 pm

  I got my 2013 GT Premium Convertible and have been surprised at how much I really like it. I have never really been a fan of the newer (1980 forward) Mustang designs until I saw this one. The new front and rear design is great. The car turns and handles well, even with the solid rear axle but not as well as the Mazda MX-5 which I upgraded from. The 5.0 V-8 is powerful and responsive with the 6 speed manual and when you stomp on the pedal, it always brings a smile. The upgraded Brembo brakes help a bunch and although you can feel that the car is heavy, it still is a load of fun to drive. Plus the car turns a lot of heads
