Smiles on your face!

2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
2012 GT Coupe . . . perfect blend for an easy daily driver plus everything you'd want to put a smile on your face.
First, the smile factors . . . satisfying growl, neck-snapping torque, smooth clutch and tight 6 speed, balanced handling (you'll look for curvy two-lane roads) and appreciative looks.
And, this comes in an easy-to-drive commuter.
The engine is powerful enough so that you … don't have to "row" yourself down the street.
Gas mileage is 16/26 . . . you can get over 20 combined, but you'll want to put your foot into when you get a chance.
Did I mention the growl?
LOTS of bells and whistles with SYNC, bluetooth and the optional NAV system (recommended if you like music).
Good car, serious safety flaws

2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
This is a great car, with a huge potential flaw.
I, as well as others, have experienced a crucial flaw in the stability control system on some 2011 and 2012 Mustangs.
The stability control has a tendency on some vehicles to engage itself at around 50MPH for about 15-20 seconds.
During this time, the car cuts throttle, and engages the brakes - and can cause the car to buck, sway, and … behave violently.
Ford has yet to acknowledge this issue or supply a fix.
AWESOME TANG!

2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
I grew up with what I thought was muscle cars from the 70s,80s and 90s but have never experienced a power house like this 2012 GT California special (automatic) which is loaded with comfort and the latest electronics,also has an awesome sound system.I have 2,200 miles on it and I'm getting 28.5 mpg on the highway with the cruise set at 69 mph,with a combined city/highway at 23 mpg.I have … never been in a car that so many people (of ALL ages) have stared at while driving or just parked.The hardest thing to do in my life now is to turn off that 5.0 engine after I park my mustang GT in the garage for the night.FORD DID THEIR HOMEWORK ON THIS STANG!

2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
I bought my car over 2 months ago. I got the 2012 Premium GT with the Brembo brakes, Appearance package 5, 3.73 gears, comfort package and upgraded seats. Sticker was over $40,000 and got it for $35,800. I have had 6 Mustangs in my life (including a 1970 428 SCJ) but this is the best of them. Smooth ride for a Sports car and this car sticks to the road. I can't wait until the spring when … I can get out and cruise with the local Mustang club.
