New '10

2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Traded in '08 GT for new '10. Quite a bit different. Exterior is sleeker and interior is worlds better. Materials are much better, very quiet inside (until you step on it). Even turn signal is a significant improvement. Not really any faster, but definitely handles better. Friend just got SS Camaro. It is faster, but feels much bigger than Mustang on the road and more cramped inside (I am 6'1").

Favorite Features

SYNC is awesome. Stereo wheel controls very helpful. Averaging over 20mpg on regular. Comfortable ride. That wonderful Mustang growl (though more muted due to better sound deadening). Seats are more comfortable than my '08.

Suggested Improvements

Car will move, but need to get into higher RPMs. Shaker 500 is much better than base stereo, but not a great stereo. Will be going aftermarket. Shifter a bit stiff, though car is still new. Placement of temperature control is blocked when car in 5th gear.

Review

I've had my car for three weeks, V6 convertible Black on Black. I have never gotten so many looks and compliments about a car before. The styling is great the ride is fun, this is my first Mustang. Looked at other convertibles, but this one I had to have.

Favorite Features

Sound system is great, sync, convertible, Pony Package Ambient lighting really nice rims, and the price was nice. The Voice activated system is to Cool.

Suggested Improvements

Light on sun visor mirror, for the wife.

Best Mustang yet!

2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

I've driven many Mustangs in my life. This is by far the best quality Mustang ever. The power is there when you need it, it's comfortable (we took a 3,000 mile trip in it). The ride quality is unmatched when coupled with what it can do in corners. Fuel mileage is more than adequate as well. Trunk space is very good for a Mustang, not full size car worthy, but sufficient. I'm very impressed with the Shaker audio system and the SYNC system is beyond cool!

Favorite Features

Love the new exterior and interior. Add some exterior upgrades and it's drop-dead gorgeous. Shift feel is VERY good, I haven't missed third yet! The exhaust tips are a huge upgrade from the previous model.

Suggested Improvements

We have a bit of a door rattle from the Shaker audio system when the volume is up. While cupholders are better....they're STILL in the way.

Review

Just got the car two days ago and I'm still loving it. The V6 has pep but is a tad slow, and the attention to detail is amazing. The car handles very smoothly and responds to my touch when I want it to. The interior accent lighting (user customizable) and touches make it fun to show off, and the heated seats up here in the cold cold north were a great option. I get turned heads everywhere I go with the pony upgrade and racing stripes. The SYNC definitely takes some time to get used to - I still haven't figured out how to hang up a call. The Sat. radio, iPod connection, and 6-disc changer means you never run out of music and media. All in all a great car to own.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, SYNC, custom colored accent and dash lighting, and feel of acceleration

Suggested Improvements

Definitely needs a more powerful V6. It feels sometimes like it's 10+ years old. Even so, it's a lot stronger than some other V6's (and hybrids!).

Simply Amazing !!

2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Our first Mustang --> A 2010 GT Premium, black on black, with Aluminium Machine bright 19 inch wheels, HID light, navigation, rear camera ok, ok one word it is a - masterpiece (had to wait for 7.5 weeks to get one). Have owned Hondas and Toyotas earlier, Hondas are good, Toyotas are crap (bad experience and hence the opinion). Bottomline, never knew Fords were that good, wasted few years of my life by not driving one earlier. My highschooler is eagerly waiting to get his license and drive it. My 4 year olds just wants to be dropped off to school in the Mustang. Power, the roaring sound, head turner, great handling, the super cool indicators enough said I must say, it is --> Simply Amazing!!

Favorite Features

Looks, HID lamps, 19 inch Alum Bright Wheels, Navigation & Climate control, Sync, great sound under heavy throttle.

Suggested Improvements

A moonroof, already good for four people but a little more back seat room would be great and more horsepower would not hurt.

2010 Mustang GT Premium Convertible

2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Just bought the car new a few weeks ago. Have been enjoying it ever since. Lots of compliments on the car, especially the color -Kona Blue metallic. Plenty of power, decent comfort and handles surprisingly well for its size. Nice stereo. Sync system works well but takes a while to figure out.

Favorite Features

Driving with the top down and listening to that V8 rumble. Simply addicting.

Suggested Improvements

A car this nice really should have pneumatic struts to hold the hood up, not a flimsy low-rent rod. Same exact thing that was on my '74 Pinto for crying out loud! Also, the interior carpet only goes part of the way up the firewall and that looks tacky.

Review

Have had Carmeros and firebirds over the years including 67 bird 400 and 68ss 396 both hot tire burners. in the three weeks i owner of this basic automatic car the dark blue and 68 style has turned more heads the all the others. could be a little quicker shifting soft ride with firm handling gas mileage should be better but ok avg 20 well priced fun car- i think the grand daughter has her eyes on it in the next few years- great ride for two -kids only in the back-they don't mind they are in the cool ride. I will drive it in the northeast winter but the weight seems to be close to 50/50 should not be a problem enjoy ford better idea well priced

Favorite Features

price low for all models handles well on corners nice tone when you hit it quiet when you don't

Suggested Improvements

v-6 needs work more hp less gas 5-speed automatic should shift quicker

My Dream Car

Written by: Lepage on 10/01/2009

Vehicle

2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

I took delivery my dream car a Kona Metallic Blue Mustang GT Premium coupe 3 days ago. This color is amazing, beautiful metallic blue in the sun, purple at dusk or dawn, and black at night. I purchased the comfort package, security package, HID headlights, manual transmission, & Track-Pak option. As you can imagine the handling is phenomenal! The engine horsepower is more than enough for the average driver. However,as a performance enthusiast not enough power for me. The interior has excellent quality, with great ergonomics. I love the aesthetics, from Sync to “My Color” to the quiet comfortable interior. The audio system has a surprisingly great sound.

Favorite Features

The great exhaust notes coming from the car. The factory installed race car suspension provides fantastic road input through the steering wheel. The Kona Metallic Blue just blows me away! The car has styling cues from the Mustangs of the early seventies.

Suggested Improvements

Factory orderable engine upgrades at Premium GT level. The Track-Pak eliminates orderable Factory body kit options. The race car suspension needs different settings to match driving conditions, buckle up. The location of center console cup holder will get in the way when shifting gears.

Review

I have owned new GT Mustangs in the years of 91, 93, 94, 96, 04, and now 2010. I must say, Ford has finally devoted the attention to the Mustang that it deserves. The car simply handles amazingly, quite agile, and has the power needed to make it fun! The interior is impressive, especially the ambient lighting. The stereo sounds fantastic. I really can not come up with any suggestions for improvement. Take a drive, you will be "hooked"!

Favorite Features

Engine sound, agile handling, power, sound system, wheels, styling, and interior.

Suggested Improvements

I simply cannot think of any at this time, other than more choices in exterior colors.

Favorite Features

sync,glass top,and the great sound the car has under heavy throttle

Suggested Improvements

more horsepower,a little more back seat room
