Ford Mustang

"The 2012 Mustang has the 3.7 L V-6 with 6-speed automatic transmission. It accelerates quickly and smoothly. The steering is very precise. It is easy to handle especially on curves. It has no over-steer or under-steer. It is fun to drive."

"The Mustang is a good sports car and fun to drive with the top up or down."

"Good - lots of power, very responsive handling, fun to drive Bad - road noise, but who cares - your in a Mustang!"

"We thought about buying a V-8, but our V-6 Mustang has all the power we need for freeway driving in the Metroplex, and is a joy to drive on the open road. Very responsive."

"So much fun to drive and handles so well."

"While the 8 cylinder GT has quite aa bit more power, this model, the 6 cylinder is powerful enough and handles well. It could have crisper handling, but it is good and fun to drive. It does have a tendency to lean too much in corners and the handling can get loose on windy roads, but if you are prepared for that it is still solid and handles well for its size."

"this is a Boss 302. Ford designed this car for performance and handling. I got what I wanted"

"Great ride and handling."

"Awesome. Love it. Makes driving fun."

"Very good acceleration, excellent OEM tires (for handling and grip), sounds good"

"We've put a tuning chip in our Mustang and it improved the fuel mileage and the idling of the car. I love the sound of the Mustang when we go from a complete stop and accelerate."

"The acceleration is crazy good."

"Awesome! A 6 cylinder with 300 horsepower that really moves and still gets us about 30 mpg on the highway and averages almost 25 mpg. And it handles so well, especially when you consider that it did not come with an extra cost suspension package. Just an awesome car for twisty mountain roads that won't break the bank when you fill up."

"Scoots when I want it to, predictable handling."

"Good acceleration"

"car accelerates quickly and handles very well for a muscle car."

"Fantastic V8 engine and very good handling"

"Excellent acceleration and tuneable handling to fit your type of driving."

"Excellent acceleration with the 5.0 engine. Handling is best of any recent Mustang, but it's still not a sports car."

"Handles very well. Acceleration and handling are excellent on dry roads. The Mustang doesn’t do well on snow or ice."

"It drives and handles very well"

"Very fun vehicle to drive. Excellent acceleration and handling."

"The 305 hp engine delivers plenty of power and acceleration for my style of driving, the handling is more than adequate. However, a super quiet pillowy (my word) smooth ride cannot be claimed."

"Seems to be pedal lag when accelerating, perhaps due to throttle by wire system."

"Drives like a road racing car, great acceleration, fantastic handling, cornering and braking."

"The Boss is a street-legal car designed for racing. The Boss is a MONSTER on the road and a joy to drive."

"Accelerates easily and with traction control on it is easy to handle."

"it's a SHELBY GT500!"

"it has the right amount of power for me. It can accelerate out of trouble situations, but it is not overpowered to lose control. It brakes and handles tight, which is how I like to drive."

"Acceleration is what stands out the most - having the ability to get up to highway speeds quickly when needed."

"It is incredibly fun to drive. A lot of torque is very addicting."

"Great power and handling. The V8 low end torque takes most of the work out of the manual transmission. It's comfortable around town, and lights up with a tip of your left foot. Great brakes, handling, and a fairly supple ride make it a pleasure to drive."

"performance package, manual transmission and engine are a terrific combo"

"This car is an automotive dream, fun to drive on the track (where it excels) or out on a spirited drive in the foothills. The free revving BOSS 302 engine is superior."

"great handling and excellent acceleration with the 5.0 engine."

"Fantastic"

"Just fine"

"It's a Shelby GT500 with legendary handling and acceleration, and an absolute blast to drive."

"Perfect blend of efficiency and performance. Great acceleration and is great fun."

"5.0 V8 is all you need to know."

"Sit back and hold on because when you step on the gas you get pushed back in your seat. I love it."

"Ford could charge extra for the sound of the 5.0 engine."

"The V6 engine offers very good acceleration and is not bad on fuel, depending on your driving style."

"My Mustang is a great driving car. Fantastic acceleration and handling. I love the interior too."

"while initially sluggish, the mustang accelerates very well. It's been a good vehicle."

"Most powerful vehicle I have ever owned. Grew up in the pony car days but never owned one. Never thought I would. The retro GT was affordable and insurable. I have and will always love that late sixties body style. I never intend to sell this car."

"Great acceleration and smooth handling."

"It is a very smooth driving car. The six speed transmission shifts very smoothly. The car really holds the road well."

"Despite the v6 Automatic model I bought, the Mustang is every bit a muscle car I expected it to be. I am easily able to hit 100mph (when I choose to every once in a while), and also possesses fabulous acceleration when needed to speed up and overtake / change lanes. And it hugs the road well on sharp turns."

"The handling is phenomenal. The engine is an amazing combination of low speed torque and high rpm power. The steering feel is exquisite, and the upgraded Brembo brakes slow down the relatively heavy car magnificently. Best of all, it's got 80k miles and I still beat the brakes off it daily, with zero issues!"

"Love the V6, ride is fine, very comfortable car for long distances. Disappointed with the handling -- a base Hyundai Accent feels more settled and secure on an imperfect, twisty road. Bumps in turns can really throw the back end and unsettle the whole car. Worse, this behavior isn't predictable. Not unique to my car (I've seen it happen to other '05-'14 Mustangs, forums are full of (mostly) guys trying to figure out how to fix it.). Very surprised that this didn't come out in your tests (or anyo"

"Amazing. More power than I can use, but very rewarding. Great driving experience."

"Ford called this the "best track car they ever built." Quarter mile in 12.1 sec and 0-60 in 4.1 sec."

"This is a GT 500. THe car has den driven 76000 miles. The clutch was replaced under warranty, other than that no problems. Still as quiet as the day it was purchased"

"Acceleration is very good for a six cylinder, faster than some V-8's. Handling is also very good but I would not say the car is actually fun to drive. It feels heavy. Mine is a convertible so there is considerable road noise even with the top up. I find is tiring on a long trip."

"Plenty if power, crisp handling and precise steering."

"Handling, excellent. Acceleration is off the chart!"

"The power never seems to end. It holds a line better than any car I have ever had, including a Corvette. The handling is neutral and predictable, even when pressed had on a track."

"it is a mustang I have owned 3"

"It's a boss 302"

"This vehicle replaced a 2008 Mustang GT. The acceleration and handling are greatly improved."

"No problem quick acceleration quick handling"

"The car has plenty of power and is fun to drive, even with the V6 engine. And, gas mileage is excellent at 23 mpg. A fun car to drive and not a gas hog."

"After driving over rough pavement the steering pulls left, then right, then left and right until it feels like something resets. The transmission is notchy, the economy shift function is agrivating. The back seat is useless. It's not a comfortable car. The auto dimming rear mirror is useless in the convertible California Special - the light doesn't reach the sensors because of the small rear window and the air deflector."

"This car is a smooth and quick ride when you need it to be. Great for cruising down to Key West and has the power to pass in the zones when you need to get from behind a "Pokey Joe"."

"Amazing. I've owned many sports cars over the years and this is by far the fastest and nicest"

"The Mustang is a retro hot rod with super acceleration and very good handling. I installed after market exhaust that is very loud. Great fun!"

"Too big, too heavy, primitive suspension, large turning radius, Terrible transmission."

"Very good handling, grip (changed tires as originals took too long to warm up) and acceleration. Lets you do as much as is possible on public roads, on closed roads allows for a good deal of fun. Seats are comfortable for long journeys. Nice engine"

"Fantastic acceleration, however the tires spin in first gear even with the traction control turned on."

"My Hot Rod Mustang: Accomplished several modifications, adding a super charger, 4.10 differential, performance rear shocks. Its a Hot Rod, but a pleasure to drive with docile stock characteristics, until you go full throttle. I LOVE MY MUSTANG!!!"

"Even with a V6, the 2012 Mustang is agile and responsive. It excels on the freeway, but really loves the open road. A joy to drive."

"Seats OK, lots of road noise, choppy ride"

"Very comfortable front seats. Rear seats are not but I don't use them"

"Comfortable front seats."

"This is one comfortable pony car. I don't factor in the rear seats, of course. No one ever sits back there. The front seats are extremely comfortable, and there is ample room in every direction. I love to have plenty of headroom, and Mustang delivers, unlike other pony cars. Seats are very supportive, and well finished in faux leather. The ride is also very good, in a pony car kind-of-way. More road feel than a sedan, as you'd expect. Visibility is also quite good, far exceeding any other Americ..."

"Paid extra for the Recaro seats and the seat cover material is terrible. Frayed and worn out with threads pulling in less that a year. Dealer replaced under warranty and same thing a year later. Total garbage"

"HATE the head rests. particularly on the passenger side. VERY uncomfortable. My chin rests on my chest. No back support. Hard to get in and out of the car."

"The seats are comfortable for me, while still being supportive enough during hard turns... and I'm a six-foot-tall, 230-pound male. However, it would be nice to have less road noise, but I don't think noise levels are unacceptably high for a sports car. Climate control works well (my car has the base, manually-controlled system)."

"Surprisingly easy to take on all day trips."

"only driver seat automatic passenger seat manual and on floor hard to enter and exist no room in back seats for adults outside rear mirrors not adjustable from inside no automatic turn off of head lights paid too much"

"Race type seat very comfortable and hold you in on the track. but a little harder to get out for a old guy."

"There are a lot of squeaks, groans and other noises that shouldn't be coming from a 4-year old car driven only in good weather and with only 60K km."

"Great handling and very quick at any speed. Have std heating/AC"

"The seats are the most uncomfortable car I have had in 30 years, we turned the headrest around to enable me to look where I am driving instead of looking at the steering wheel. Just spent $3000 on the air conditioner components."

"Super comfortable Recaro seats"

"poor visibility but side inset mirrors help"

"Bucket may be too deep. Seems like sitting too low but can't adjust any higher."

"Driver's seat very comfortable, passenger seat not so much."

"Seats and head restraints are uncomfortable"

"OE Tires (Pirelli) were severely cupped at 12K miles and made the ride very jarring and made an exceptional amount of noise inside the cabin. Recently replaced all 4 tires with Continentals with a wonderful improvement. The climate control system does not adjust the air conditioning response very well at high temperatures (above 85)."

"The air diverter has never worked."

"The headrest are too far forward for me to get into a comfortable driving position. Our Ford dealer said there was nothing they could do to help. Otherwise, love the car!"

"Clutch pedal too far away even with extender which means I have to put seat too far forward. Then I can't swing my feet to get out so I have to move the seat back and forth. I don't understand why it doesn't have a memory or exit seat. I am constantly adjusting the seat/mirrors so I am never comfortable."

"Paint pealing, 28000 miles"

"This is the best looking, best performing car for anywhere near the price. It not only performs great but gets above average gas mileage!"

"Performance package is fantastic There is no better performance bargain that is also a great grand touring vehicle and looks great."

"Good buy for the money"

"You probably can't buy more fun for the dollar than the Mustang GT. It's a great everyday driver, and it turns into a sports car with great power and handling anytime you want."

"My interest was in the 5.0 coyote engine and manual transmission. Candy red paint didn't hurt either. Wanted something that could perform on a level with most anything on the street. Not a lot of options on this base model however for $30K try to find a better bang for the performance buck."

"I got the 5.0 Mustang. It has performed sensational plus I got a convertible."

"Very reliable. Great acceleration and handling. Driver's seat very comfortable but front pax seat low and does not adjust. Pleasure to drive."

"The Sync system is awful, worthless, atrocious, dangerous. I specifically bought the Sync option in my Mustang - it has NEVER worked correctly. I brought it into Ford dealership several times to have it fixed. They never fixed it. When the vehicle finally went out of warranty they washed their hands of off the Sync problems completely - disgraceful!! The interior fit and finish is very poor/cheap. The exterior panels do fit/align well and paint chips easily. Overall a disastrous purchase and ver"

"Only problem is having the driver bag being recalled. Overall value is good"

"The car is so solid, responsive, and reliable - I am still surprised at how little it cost. It is so much better than my BMW which cost 3-40% more."

"The BOSS 302 is a great value for the money a lot of performance for the money. It is a great car"

"fair price under book price"

"Inexpensive to buy and maintain Fairly reliable Great engine"

"paid too much"

"Boss Mistang-exceptional performance."

"550 horsepower for $50,000? Where else could you get it besides the iconic Mustang? People STILL (usually young guys) go crazy about this thing. I get 26 mpg highway mileage, and it's simple but effective: Nav, bluetooth, nice sound (radio and engine). Reliable as Old Faithful, to boot."

"I paid 32500.00 through Trucar and when I tried to trade in my mustang on a smaller Ford with better gas mileage after one year the same dealer I bought the mustang from offered only 16,000.00 for the mustang..1/2 loss in value...No more Fords for me."

"Retro styling"

"It is a Califirnia Special GT. Unique styling features set it apart from the run of the mill GT. You rarely see one."

"I love the car except Ford's refusal to repair the corrosion and paint bubbles on the front of the hood. All Mustangs from 2011 - 2014 have issues with the hood paint. Apparently Ford used bad aluminum for the hood that had imbedded ferrous metals which caused the hoods to bubble, peel and rust. Ford knows about the problem but has instructed dealers to NOT fix the car. The government should sue Ford to affect these repairs."

"It's a bright red Mustang. Eye-catching, which means setting the cruise at the speed limit."

"Looks fantastic for an inexpensive car Very satisfying to drive"

"Full size sedan, very large trunk is great for traveling, rear window go fully down, A/C auto control is great, Cruse control is the best for down hill auto down-shift."

"I prefer the retro-styling as opposed to the newer models."
