Anonymous, TX (2016 Ford Mustang)"Styling acceleration"

MICHAEL B., TX (2016 Ford Mustang)"Got the 5.0L V8 GT, love the power on demand. Steering and handling are suburb! Due for a speeding ticket any day now!"
Anonymous, MI (2016 Ford Mustang)"This car is illegally fun to drive. It has "cutouts" in the exhaust that can be activated with a switch on the dashboard that gives it a fantastic growl, especially when you wind it to it's 8250 RPM redline. Acceleration is awesome (though my old '07 GT500 had much more torque). Handling is the best I've ever experienced. The steering is extremely precise, but there's a downside to that. Freeways develop grooves (or pathways, maybe) over time, and also over time, lane markings change as the"
MIKE S., WA (2016 Ford Mustang)"Acceleration and handling are excellent"

ROBERT R., FL (2016 Ford Mustang)"Excellent!"
TERRI J., CA (2016 Ford Mustang)"The standout features that I have noticed are 1: The tightness of the car. It is put together beautifully, NO shortcuts. I had a 65GT and there is no comparison. 2. The handling is like no other Mustang I have been around. More like a Porsche. 3.Power way beyond what one needs but it is a extremely fun and comfortable."

On a recent trip I checked fuel consumption on 10 mile stretches of highway. @65 mph=39mpg; 75 mph=33 mpg; @85 mph=27 mpg. Test conducted with cruise control engaged and air conditioning on. The 2.3l EcoBoost is a fantastic piece of engineering!"

Michael B., BC (2016 Ford Mustang)"Very responsive in acceleration and steering Looks Good"
Anonymous, FL (2016 Ford Mustang)"The 4 cylinder Ecoboost is a remarkable match to this vehicle. It will out-accelerate a comparable 8 cylinder, while giving (I expect) twice the gas mileage. Ford did a great job of tuning the exhaust."

John W., LA (2016 Ford Mustang)"like I tell my kids it makes me happy when driving it"

Anonymous, NY (2016 Ford Mustang)"It's so smooth, so quiet, and such a good handling vehicle!"

Max I., IN (2016 Ford Mustang)"Great acceleration, sharp handling, excellent gearshifter"
Anonymous, CA (2016 Ford Mustang)"Ford has done a great job on styling and performance. 526 HP yet 23 mph on the highway. This is a performance car, not designed to be quiet or soft riding. Put the peddle down and it puts you back in the seat, turn the wheel and it goes where you point the front. Love it."

Anonymous, TX (2016 Ford Mustang)"A track car for the streets. What else needs tom be said."

"It is a blast to drive. It's very fast and handles like a car built for the track. Plus, it is very easy to drive and has great visibility for a fastback roof line. I compared it to the Dodge Challenger and the Camaro before buying and my Mustang GT is a far better car than either of them."
