  Driving fun, technology, looks, move over Toyota! - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By American Citizen - December 1 - 9:17 pm

  OK, I never thought I would own a V8 even in a truck. The gas mileage is relative, but not awful. You only get one life, and I always went for dependability in Toyota/Lexus, but if everyone would support the American economy and buy American cars again, you would be in for a surprise. I didnt go for the Shelby because I didnt want my insurance company to punish me, but the GT is a pleasant surprise. I had a new Toyota Truck I traded in, and I did it because I have seen a drop in their customer service and the way they treat you in general. Sure, you might argue its fun to crawl over and down hills, but this GT put a smile on my face just driving it down the road. I didnt need to put the pedal to the floor, you cruise and maneuver knowing if you need it, the power is there. How many times did you need a burst of speed to keep from having a car ram you because you turned onto the road and misjudged they were speeding up to keep you from turning (you know who you are). After almost getting t-boned in a new vehicle with the response of a turtle, I decided to buy an American car. People, they know they have lagged in the market for years. That is why they have improved dramatically. You can dress it up as a sport car with stripes, or keep it simple like a Jaguar (the burgundy color looks awesome). The premium Shaker radio is great, although audiophiles will want to upgrade a door speaker or two, but it sounds great. Even my Sirius subscription sounds good again. I thought it was the signal, but it was the stereo. Even the JBL owners are upgrading the Tacoma speakers. And the technology is just fascinating. You can change the steering control, RPM engine response, interior lighting, set your seating positions for driver and passenger, and oh yes, you can open your garage door. I guess they dont have garages in Japan, but driving up in my new truck WITH the technology package I had to wave my garage door opener around in the window! What the hell? There is so much to brag about, all I can say is we bought Toyotas and Hondas for years and this is the year of the American car. I havent experienced anything bad yet at Ford, but I was treated like a farmer looking for a truck full of chickens at Toyota. We are in America, lets start owning it. Dont listen to me, just go to the Toyota/Honda dealerships then go to American dealerships and see how far we have come. By the way, my nice truck was assembled in Mexico. Dont we need jobs here in America? Start with looking at the Mustang GT. Even though the only complaint is the back seat, it wont matter with just me and my wife in the car. Check it out even if your not planning on buying for a long time. I guarantee you will be impressed. Buy American, you live here dont you?

  No longer an Ecoboost Skeptic - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By szaheer - August 8 - 9:09 pm

  I have always been skeptical of an ecoboost mustang, this car however is a fantastic surprise. Great acceleration , great handling and a fantastic interior (premium). Be aware, blind spots are an issue, so BLISS maybe a worthwhile investment. Overall, driving to work is now something I look forward to!

  Nice little speedster with the FRPP tune - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By alex_WI - July 20 - 6:41 pm

  Great little inexpensive sports car with good mileage....ecoboost is new and a bit of getting used to in a mustang....but when you can hit 0-60 near 5 second range, who cares if you dont have the V-8 rubble.

  2016 GT/CS Premium Covertible "Carolina Special" - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Michael Humphrey - June 25 - 5:09 pm

  I have owned my 2016 GT Premium California Special convertible (Oxford White) for 6 months now and every day I just look forward to driving it...especially with the top down! It has the 6 speed automatic with 3.55 LS Rear Axle, Nav, Adaptive Cruise Control, Reverse Sensing Safety system....well everything except the "Performance Package" which you cant get with the automatic transmission. Acceleration is awesome! Simply put, it looks GREAT, drives GREAT and sounds GREAT. No problems or regrets so far...This is the first vehicle built by an "American" manufacturer that I have purchased since 1985! Toyota and Honda (and a number of Mazda Mx-5s) have been and still are in my driveway, however I love this Mustang! Funny story...I rented a 2016 Ford Expedition for a week and was soo impressed with the quality and performance of the big Ford, I had to go drive the new Pony Car! Word of advice: Dont test drive one if you dont want to own one!

  Awesome Car ! - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By bill powell - May 2 - 10:33 pm

  I recently purchased a v6 with the 051A package which is a must. You get the beautiful 18 inch 5 star wheels and 6 way power drivers seat. The car has great acceleration and very good steering feel. The ride is very good and the seat is comfortable. The car gets compliments everywhere I go especially when at the gas pumps.

  Dream car Disappoints---UPDATE - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Terry - April 27 - 12:49 am

  OK just a quick update from my previous review: So the dealer found the cause of the rear end noise, it was Lungnuts rolling around where the spare tire would be if there was one. The car has locking lungs on it so, someone put the spare lungnuts in trunk. Boy was I releaved! It has been a week since I purchased the Mustang and I have to say "It is my Dream Car"! It drives great & handles amazingly well. It was warm enough to put the top down...what a great day cruzing.

  Just so much fun - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Kevin - January 29 - 6:35 am

  Got the GT with performance package and manual gearbox in Deep Blue with Black interior, all options for under $40K. What a car! Great build quality. Performance is very strong. Drives better than any Mustang Ive ever had of 2 others and even my porsche and AMG Mercedes. The new Sync entertainment system is easy and intuitive. Fast and fun. No buyers remorse whatsoever. And, the GT350 just beat a $350K Ferrari for Performance Car of the Year from Road and Track. Get one with 6 spd manual and you will not be disappointed. Smaller kids fit in the back and have lots of fun. Good trunk space. Way to go Ford. Great to see the USA building a truly world class car.

  Love my GT even more daily - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Alex - January 22 - 1:31 am

  This is my first Mustang ever as well as my first convertible. I never had a family member to own one or a close friend. I had "friends" in high school that did, but never rode in one. I rented this vehicle in August of this year and loved it from the start. The feeling of being in a convertible is like no other driving experience I have ever had. I also had never driven a V8 before either. It was a pure endorphin/adrenaline rush. During my car research I looked also looked at the Camaro 2SS, while it was truly a great car it was just too expensive. Another deciding factor in choosing the Mustang was that I had watched "A Faster Horse" on Netflix. For those who havent watched the documentary it is a great film on how they designed and made the new 2015 model as well as how the original come to be. I just felt more of a connection to the Mustang and honestly Chevy had burned me before on a 98 Malibu I bought new. Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned. So it was an uphill battle for them anyway. So the car itself....biggest pro to me is the look of the car. I just stare at it in my garage and when I walk up to it at the grocery store. It is a race red black top GT and it is gorgeous in my opinion. Some folks dont like the new design, but I would not have considered this car without the new design. The other biggest pro is the power. Why you would buy an Ecoboost or a V6 in a Mustang is beyond me. Yes the gas mileage sucks, but man that car rumbles and has sooooo much character that you just dont get in the other smaller engines. It makes me smile every time I push the start button. Finally, the other pluses is all the technology in the car. This thing has got it all....I wont list them here as you can check it out yourself, but a hidden gem I found is that you can program your key so that the car wont go over a certain speed and the radio wont go over a certain level. It also tracks the miles put on the car with that key. So if I want my son, who is 16 and gets giddy every time I let him drive it (Im in the car with him), to drive it without me at least it is the realm of a discussion to be considered. The biggest downside to this car is the ride. It is bumpy and I mean BUMPY. You feel every divot in the road. I know this isnt a luxury car....I got that and I wasnt expecting a BMW cloud feeling, but for the first time ever I got slightly car sick after a 5 hour drive to see my family for the holidays. We had to stop so I could get rid of the motion headache I had. So, that is a big bummer. I feel that if they could have made the "Normal" mode just a bit smoother on the suspension that they would have a perfect car. Now I own it and I am sure I will get used to it. It does not diminish how I feel about the car overall. I love driving it around town, but wont be taking it on any long trips without at least a half a Bonine in my system. I do look forward to taking it to the beach...I mean.....its a convertible...that is a requirement. The gas mileage is what you would expect from a V8....not very good. However, I was getting 27mpg on the interstate with cruise control on, but city is 18 to 19. A few other things to note before I close is that the feel of the steering wheel is great and adjustable with the steering mode. I keep it on Comfortable while driving around town, but kick it back to sport when I want to push it. The SYNC system is great, but I am still fighting the voice command a bit as she doesnt always understand me. A bit more work could go into that aspect of the software. The biggest thing here is that the car is just fun to drive. I didnt go for practical, I went for fun and if you want a fun car.... get the Mustang GT, and if you are feeling really spirited...make it a convertible.

  Cool car! - 2016 Ford Mustang

  Great Buying experience great car - 2016 Ford Mustang
  By Howard - December 22 - 6:07 am

  This car is very impressive with the interior of the vehicle. Its completely changed from the 2008 that I previously had, alot more power and the ability to change the steering. The ride is 100 and 10 percent much better than the past mustangs that I have owned. The ability to change the suspension makes the Ford GT a more attractive buy. I really like my buying experience thru Golf Mill Ford, Jimmy and Andrew were amazing. The customer service was outstanding fast and friendly financing not like your typical car buying experience.
