Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"Excellent overall for a 10 yr old car! This is my 3rd Mustang."
Anonymous, VT (2006 Ford Mustang)"Acceleration is awesome and effortless. Handling is nimble and precise and feels light and very tight! It's sure footed in straight lines but the live rear axel messes up handling around corners, uneven pavement, cobblestone and brick roads."
PETE T., FL (2006 Ford Mustang)"Acceleration is good. Handling is good also"
RANDY C., MA (2006 Ford Mustang)"It is very fun to drive. It handles and accelerates very well."
BRUCE E., CA (2006 Ford Mustang)"I love this car it's fast it handles great and it is stylish"
Anonymous, CA (2006 Ford Mustang)"My Mustang GT had good power to begin with, and the only modification I have made is a freer-flowing intake and filter, which adds about 5% to the horsepower figure, and is easy to maintain. My new Goodyear tires replaced the Michelin originals -- ten years old -- and offer a slightly better ride, and better grip."
ARCHIBALD M., RI (2006 Ford Mustang)"Fast still gets decent mpg. Easy to drive feels sporty good road feel."
ROBERT B., GA (2006 Ford Mustang)"Fun to drive, great acceleration and handling."
STEVEN H., KS (2006 Ford Mustang)"It is under powered and the suspension is stiff. Gas mileage is likely poor."
Anonymous, ME (2006 Ford Mustang)"A slight step on the gas and it moves, no hesitation just torque. Its built for curves so its perfect for the mountain and ocean roads we have here in California!"
TERI R., CA (2006 Ford Mustang)"I owned a few high performance cars before, but the handling had greatly improved."
Ron H., MN (2006 Ford Mustang)"Even though new models, including the 4-cyl ecoboost, have more power than my generation Mustang's V8, I couldn't be happier. It's quick, fun, and handles great, even factoring in the less rigid convertible body style."
Alex N., CT (2006 Ford Mustang)"Power, my GT can drive me out of most traffic situations very easily. It is extremely quick, but it does handle a little like a tank."
Anonymous, TX (2006 Ford Mustang)"Today, 300 HP is on the low end for a muscle car, however, the car accelerates quite fast and sounds heavenly doing it! It handles reasonably well for a heavy car and is a lot of fun to drive."
Lynn S., FL (2006 Ford Mustang)"great pick-up when getting on highway"
Anonymous, TN (2006 Ford Mustang)"The car jerks quite a bit on acceleration. It has been an issue since I got the car and hasn't improved with age."
Anonymous, IL (2006 Ford Mustang)"acceleration and handling are good for an 11year old car. Still doesn't use oil. just runs"
Arlan O., TX (2006 Ford Mustang)"quick, nimble and comfortable to drive"
Sallie C., ME (2006 Ford Mustang)"Really enjoy acceleration and exhaust sound."

Anonymous, CA (2006 Ford Mustang)"Acceleration and handling are great. Couldn't be better"
J R., OH (2006 Ford Mustang)"Very solid car on the highway. Fun to drive."
Anonymous, CT (2006 Ford Mustang)"Not the best car at any one thing but it is very good at everything."
Anonymous, IL (2006 Ford Mustang)"Even though it is nearly 13 years old, the Mustang GT still accelerates and handles very well."
Chuck W., MT (2006 Ford Mustang)"My Mustang is the GT version, equipped with a manual five speed transmission. It handles like a sports car, with the only downside being the solid rear axel which can cause back end hop when making a fast, short turn. The engine/transmission combination make for very quick acceleration! :)"
David E., FL (2006 Ford Mustang)"A truly fun car to drive"
R P., NJ (2006 Ford Mustang)"Peppy and sounds strong."
Seth J., DC (2006 Ford Mustang)"The car accelerates really well and is rock solid on highways. I beefed up the front and rear anti-sway bars so it corners really well."
Anonymous, CT (2006 Ford Mustang)"Acceleration exceptional after changing plugs at 85k miles."
Kenneth D., MA (2006 Ford Mustang)"ACCELERATION IS GREAT (V8)-WOW. THIS CAR CAN SAFETY BE DRIVEN 15 MILES PER HOUR THE SPEED LIMIT ON COUNTY ROADS,IT JUST STICKS TO YOUR LANE-FUN."
Anonymous, MO (2006 Ford Mustang)"very powerful and very good handling. turns on a dime and stops quickly."
Teri R., CA (2006 Ford Mustang)"Fun car to drive...mainly my daughter's"
Anonymous, FL (2006 Ford Mustang)"Both are excellent. Handling on curvy mountain roads is outstanding."
Anonymous, CA (2006 Ford Mustang)"The car has great acceleration and the handling is tight. The car responds so quickly to the steering wheel that it can be over steered."
Anonymous, TX (2006 Ford Mustang)"6 cylinder engine, although somewhat noisy, has been responsive and trouble free for twelve years. Excellent ride."
Anonymous, MA (2006 Ford Mustang)"It accelerates well And handles nicely."
Anonymous, VA (2006 Ford Mustang)"Sportish handling"
Anonymous, IL (2006 Ford Mustang)"Its a rocket; Handles as good as my sister's BMW convertible 2006 plus faster and $20,000 cheaper."
Anonymous, PA (2006 Ford Mustang)"I’m not a race car driver or anything...But I like the way it handles and accelerates."
