2007 Ford Mustang V6 Premium 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 5M)

Review

We mulled it over for a while, to buy or not to buy just for a sometime driver. So I bought first Ford in many years (1990 was last). Loved the body style so bought just for body style, not as a daily driver. It has become my daily driver, parking my 02 V8 Tundra. Just made a 600 mile trip and averaged 30 MPG hwy at 70 MPH. Impressed with V6 power. It is plenty for me. Comfort is not great, cabin is not quite (primarily engine noise), but it is what it is, not a luxury car, not a speed burner, but good dependable transportation with style.

Favorite Features

Looks, shaker sound system, economy - as good MPG as an Avalon I previously owned

Suggested Improvements

Power seat back, passenger power seats, taller seating position, more leg room, more storage space

Best 4 seat convertible for the money

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

I've only had Japanese or German cars, but the Mustang has always stirred my interest a little, despite my general disdain for American design.That is, until this new body style came along. I must admit that I warmed up to it quickly and before long, I just had to have it. I wanted a convertible (actually did not mind a V6) and realized that since I'm a family man now, there are not a lot of choices out there:(Solara, anyone? Or worse, Eos) The Mustang fit the bill: Classic style, history, raw power and seats 4 to boot. Got the V8, who needs the radio when you have the rumble from the exhaust for entertainment? Crazy torque, handles well for its size and looks gorgeous with the top down

Favorite Features

Exterior style, Interior style (not materials), minimal shake for a vert, Awesome stereo (you can hear the songs at 85 mph with the wind rushing over your head), Passing prowess and drama with the manual. Surprisingly docile for city driving, corners well for a big car. Different colors on dash.

Suggested Improvements

Interior materials, more storage in cabin, relocate cupholders. One latch and one button top lowering. 18 inch wheels standard on GT, upgraded brakes. Better AV outlet cover (seriously!) Rattle during low speed 2-3 shifts. Cloth top standard. Spare tire.

I'm more Than Disappointed

2007 Ford Mustang V6 Premium 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 5M)

Review

After owning 7 previous stangs I am so disappointed in my 2007 V6 5 speed stang. Though the exterior of it gets my heart singing and remembering the great ones I previously owned, The clutch and transmission has been a real horror. The car emits a low growl on acceleration in the mid to back. The shifting is very rough and very hard to move into reverse. The starter failed, the door handles had to be replaced. The interior seats are cheap and the seat belt is hard to get ahold of. I've complained about the 10mph gas mileage, had been on the phone and my car at the shop for the last 3 payments. They say nothing is wrong with it. I am not used of hearing the shifting so rough and loud. Sad day

Favorite Features

The exterior design, the sound of the engine, that's if I can get it to go into reverse to back it out of the garage and put it into 1st without dropping the tranny or the throw out bearing.

Suggested Improvements

They need to replace the brass pieces in the shifting mechanism with something else and improve on the clutch. Redo seatbelts for better reach. Also they need an interior trunk button. Ford needs to have customer reps that can really help you instead of hanging up when you need them to mediate.

My 1st V8

Written by: sk13 on 06/16/2008

Vehicle

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Initially I was worried about fuel mileage but anyone wanting one should not be concerned. My mixed driving has returned anywhere from 19.8 MPG to 22.0 MPG and I did a highway test to see what I would get there and it turned out 26.7 MPG running 70- 75 MPH! The engine is fantastic, revs smooth, revs fast, tremendous torque will pull from anywhere in the rev range, can run down almost anything on the road. Interior is roomy and trunk is very usuable. Has tremendous ability to handle curves and also turns tighter than my '04 did. Looks superb, I get positive comments often.

Favorite Features

Fantastic engine response and surprisingly good fuel mileage. Roomy interior. Beautiful design, anyone instantly knows it's a Mustang V8.

Suggested Improvements

Firmer brakes please.

Gas Guzzler? Not exactly!

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

The funny thing about the V8 GT is that it gets surprisingly good MPG on the highway and I routinely get 28mpg going back and forth between New York City and Lake George (250 mi). Around town and stomping on the gas from green lights I hover around 20. My Civic got 32mpg highway. One goes 0 to 60 in 9 seconds, one gets there in about 5. The biggest chuckle I get is when I stop the car at home, reach into the back seat where my son's child seat resides and pull him out, much to the amazement of passerbys and even more when I pull out his stroller from the trunk. This is a big, wide, safe feeling car and gas attendents routinely are amazed when they can't reach across with the squeegee.

Favorite Features

Basically you can be in like almost any gear and step on the gas and roar away. Low RPM it's growl tends turns people's heads, high RPM you approach SuperBike/NASCAR types sounds. That kick when it hits 3000 rpm and starts to rocket forward faster and faster in any gear never grows old.

Suggested Improvements

Anything in the cupholders impedes shifting the stick. Slightly taller first gear.

My first convertible

2007 Ford Mustang V6 Premium 2dr Convertible (4.0L 6cyl 5M)

Review

I've always wanted a convertible, now I have one. The car is fun to drive, very comfortable for a sports car, and I am really suprised at how great the ride is. I expected more road noise with the top up, so I am pleasantly surprised at the lack of noise. You can carry on a conversation with a passenger in normal tones with the top down. Same goes for listening to the radio. The V6 has plenty of power for an old guy like me (late 40's) and is pretty quick also.

Favorite Features

Convertable top! Retro look inside and out.Front seats are very comfortable. The ease at which you can raise and lower the top. The way the front windows self seal when closing the doors. Automatic up and down windows.

Suggested Improvements

Self dimming rear view mirror should be standard. Trunk release inside car in easy reach of driver. Tilt wheel should be easier to operate.

My 3rd. Mustang

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

My first was a 1967 coupe, after that I was hooked. Then came the 2001 Bullet, then the 2007 GT/CS. I have loved them all. Driving this new one is a blast if your in town or on the highway or at the drag strip. It handles very well. The fit and finish inside and out are above avg. The Shaker 500 stereo is awesome.(wish I would have got the 1000 though) I have done a few minor mods and am pleased with the results. This 3 valve motor responds well to modifications.

Favorite Features

Stereo system, retro styling, handling, paint color. Mine is Vista Blue.

Suggested Improvements

Bigger horsepower option for the GT, shifter/shorter throw, trunk release button in reach of the driver, stronger lower end of the motor. My GT/CS had 3 small dents from the factory that were removed the paint less way for free by the dealer, but they shouldn't have been there in the first place

Review

I traded my 05 Acura TL w/ 30k for this 07 GT w/ 7.5k straight-up. Says a lot about Honda/Acura resale vs. Ford. My TL was flawless in 3yrs so I hope the 'Stang does as well. The comparo. is apples/oranges but things I'll miss are made up for w/ the style, power and my love for Pony Fords.(got a 70 conv.)Ride is stiff or course, but handles like it's on rails. So solid it feels like it has been carved from stone. Impressive! Big car, I'm 6'6" and have plenty of head/legroom. Check back in a year to see if I'm still in love. If so I may have to trade up to the Glasstop fastback coming ion 09.

Favorite Features

Power, Mustang bodystyle, retro/modern int./ext.. Handling is awesome. God bless traction control. Launches like a rocket.

Suggested Improvements

Memory seats or power seatback that returns to previous setting, Inside trunk release, Higher grade int. materials, Audio controls on steering wheel, replace Green LED displays w/ LCD, Steering wheel layout needs redesign. Auto/Man Trans., Auto Temp. Stereo needs EQ.

07' GT

Vehicle

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

No rattles, good handling, great mileage for a semi-hot rod. Rear quarter visibility is limited by the fastback design, but this is a nostalgia tradeoff to look like the 68/69 Mustangs. The front seat has great comfort, the back seat never was meant for comfort.

Favorite Features

Tremec transmission feels like you're driving an old muscle car.

Suggested Improvements

More optional cubic inches. Make the old 351 or a 392 stroker an option in the GT, it costs no more to build those engines. There needs to be a middle ground between the GT and the Roush. Don't wait for the new Camaro and Challenger to take the market.

Tangy Stang

Written by: Horkee on 02/02/2008

Vehicle

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Your a little late for your appointment and you must change freeways..entering the inside lane and then must crossover four lanes to make the first exit 3/4 mile on the right (the exit you hate). As you come down entrance in 3rd gear there are three trucks abreast in the right lanes. A white Camry is ahead of you with a gnarly mess of traffic behind the trucks.. but a break ahead of them. The Camry immediately moves to the freeway leaving you the rest of the entrance ramp.. You nail it quickly openning up 4-5 car lengths before you move over and hit 4th. Catching the break in traffic, you slide over the remaining lanes easily making the exit. That's when you know why you bought it!

Favorite Features

Nasty snarl in 3rd! Going on a Saturday night double date with your friends or being able to pick up a few supplies for your kid's soccer team after work. Let's face it, it's not the fastest thing out there (Vet?, Viper?,911GT3?), but for a practical sporty V8 car it stands alone.

Suggested Improvements

Needs Home Link, a place for sun glasses, and could use a plusher interior but for the price it's not bad. (Ford might think of doing a plusher stretched four passenger version of this vehicle with four doors (of course) and call it the "Thunder Bird".)
