Edmunds Rating

From a base EcoBoost all the way up to a decked-out V8-powered GT, the Ford Mustang provides ample amounts of style and performance. It also makes the appropriate nods to the Mustang's heritage while staying current with the latest technology features. Among today's muscle cars, the Mustang is hard to beat.

Strong power from both the four-cylinder and V8 engines
Civilized ride and low noise levels
Cabin blends modern convenience with retro style

Cons

Impractical back seat
Performance-package ride quality can be harsh
Long, heavy doors yet mediocre cabin access

What's new

Carries on without changes before a new Mustang launches next year
Part of the sixth Mustang generation introduced for 2015

The 2023 Ford Mustang is one of the three muscle cars on the market, providing lots of horsepower and an exciting driving experience at a reasonable price. We think it's the best in its class: It is more engaging to drive than the Dodge Challenger, and it's more comfortable and easier to drive day to day than the Chevrolet Camaro. Whether you're considering the base turbocharged four-cylinder or the high-octane Mach 1, there's a Mustang variant for anybody with a need for speed.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2dr Coupe (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 6M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.96 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

The current-generation Mustang is now in its ninth year of production, which is a long time in car years. It doesn't have much time left, however: The new seventh-generation Mustang will debut for the 2024 model year. Check out the Expert Rating below for our test team's complete evaluation of the car's performance, comfort and more.

What's it like to live with?

Edmunds has had a few long-term Mustangs over the past few years, including a 2015 Mustang GT coupe, a 2019 Mustang GT convertible, and a 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 that we just can't seem to quit. We've racked up around 50,000 miles between the three vehicles, so check out our coverage to learn more about things like comfort, fuel economy, maintenance and performance.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Mustang drive? The Mustang GT is impressively quick thanks to its gutsy V8. The brakes are also fittingly firm, giving you plenty of confidence to brake hard. In Edmunds' testing, the GT covered 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds and stopped from 60 mph in 118 feet.

The steering effort changes depending on the drive mode you've selected. Regardless of mode, there's a good amount of feedback for the driver. Even without high-performance summer tires, the Mustang handles corners well thanks to well-managed body roll and impressive overall stability. The 10-speed automatic works very well too. It picks the best gearing without seeming overly busy.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Mustang? You'll be comfortable for hours in the Mustang, which is quite a feat considering how performance-focused this car is. The seats offer great support and the cabin is fairly quiet. The V8 sounds great, which is precisely what you'll want to hear.

The climate controls are front and center, and well-placed vents evenly distribute cooled air for front passengers. The automatic climate control rarely needs any adjustment once set. The ventilated seats are quick to cool you down on hot days and keep you comfy on long drives.

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The controls are thoughtfully placed, and there are enough adjustments in the steering wheel and driver's seat for most owners to find a comfortable driving position. The Mustang's doors are long, which means they're hard to open fully in a tight parking space. Rear passengers will have a hard time stepping past the folded-forward seat when they're squeezing into the back.

Backseat space is limited even for children. Outward visibility is pretty good, though, with relatively narrow windshield pillars and a large enough rear window for a near-full view of what's behind you.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? Muscle cars don't exactly scream "high-tech," but the Mustang gets high marks for the availability of newer features. Ford's Sync interface has top-notch voice controls, an 8-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. The optional digital instrument panel not only looks cool, but it is functional and is a great secondary control screen.

The advanced safety features (blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, etc.) are well tuned to avoid false alarms. The forward collision warning is appropriately startling. The adaptive cruise control executes with smooth inputs and maintains the set speeds on steep downhills.

Storage

6.5/10

How’s the storage? The Mustang has a sizable lead in cargo capacity over the Camaro, but the Challenger still has the most. The 13.5-cubic-foot trunk has a wide opening and a low liftover height. Two golf bags can fit across the back when it’s equipped with the standard stereo.

Inside, there's just enough space for personal items but not much else. The cupholders and door pockets are merely average. Installing a child's car seat will be tough because of the limited backseat space and the restricted room you have to load it in.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? Fuel economy for the V8-powered Mustang GT is about average for the class. We managed 23.6 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route, but it took a lot of restraint to get there. That explains our 15.1 mpg average over the full two-week test time.

Value

7.0/10

Is the Mustang a good value? In the muscle car category, pricing for the Big Three is pretty much neck and neck. Ford's basic and powertrain warranties are also average for the class. Free scheduled maintenance is not included with the Mustang, though you do get roadside assistance.

Wildcard

9.0/10

The Mustang GT, even without any performance options, is a hoot to drive. It's stable and fast, yet you can also make it a tail-sliding hooligan machine if you want to. The available active exhaust adds an amazing sound to the car and encourages you to drive it hard. It's capable of raucous performance yet it's also a pleasant daily driver. That means it can fit your personality or mood on the fly.

Which Mustang does Edmunds recommend?

We think the GT is the way to go. If you're going to get a Mustang, you might as well get the one with twice the cylinders and a lot more power than the base EcoBoost model. It also offers improved handling and braking, and it's available with lots of comfort and tech features.

Ford Mustang models

The 2023 Ford Mustang is available in five basic trims: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium and Mach 1. The EcoBoost and GT models are available as both a coupe and convertible; the Mach 1 is only available as a coupe. The Mustang offers both four-cylinder and V8 engines, both of which are available with a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic. No matter which model you choose, the Mustang sends every bit of its power solely to the rear wheels. The 760-horsepower Shelby GT500 is covered under a separate review.

GT Premium 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 6M)

I shopped competitive convertibles: Jag FType, Audi S5, BMW M4. They are really nice cars with alot of character and potentially some challenging maintenance issues. The Mustang in my opinion is the best value by far. Gobs of power, great looks, excellent build quality and not overwhleming in the techy world of a BMW or a Audi. The Jag might have a better looking interior- but it also …

I'm 62, owned a ton of vehicles and don't need the "fun" or the ego of a standard and jumped at the 10 speed after owning the Ranger. Glad I did, the car is just incredible.

Fun Cars Under $40K | Dodge Challenger, Mazda Miata, Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang & More

MARK TAKAHASHI: Cars mean a lot of different things to different people. Personally, I prioritize fun over all else. But I also spend like a drunken sailor, so I can't really afford something like a C8 Corvette, or my dream car, a Mercedes AMG GT. My budget is closer to the average transaction price of 40 grand. So where does that leave me? Well hope is on the horizon because there's more fun choices under 40K than you think. But before that, hit Like and Subscribe below, and head over to edmunds.com/sellmycar to get some cash so you can afford some of these bad boys. Pony cars are pretty beefy these days. You get a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to horsepower. Seriously, guys? If you ask me though, it ain't a muscle car unless it has a V8. The Chevrolet Camaro SS is most certainly fun, and comes in just shy of our $40,000 limit. For the money, you get a 455 horsepower 6.2 liter V8, a six speed manual, sharp handling, and impressive acceleration. What you don't get is decent outward visibility. Seriously, it's like looking through a mail slot. Now if you want the same thrills, but want to see where you're going, you should check out my favorite, Ford Mustang GT. It's a bit less expensive, too, which means you can even opt in the automatic transmission and stay under the $40,000 limit, unlike the Camaro. But seriously, you should learn to drive stick if you're going this route. The Dodge Challenger RT, by comparison, is an elegant muscle car for a more civilized age. It's bigger and more comfortable, but it also makes less power than the Camaro or Mustang, and doesn't handle as sharply either. [CAR ENGINE RUMBLING] Like the Mustang, you can add the automatic transmission and stay under budget. And in this case, yeah, it kind of makes sense. Oh, and if you want the convenience of four doors, the Charger is essentially the same car. See? So you can have a family and still have fun. If you're looking for something more new school than muscle car, we've got the latest batch of hot hatchbacks. Considering that these have the potential for much better fuel economy, they could even be better bets for those on a budget. The Volkswagen GTI is all new for 2022, and is our current favorite. With 241 horsepower, zippy handling, and plenty of space for people and cargo, it's easy to see why. Now, we're not too hot on the new infotainment interface. And it's not quite as powerful as the next hatches on the list, but there is the Golf R that has more power and all wheel drive. But, it's disqualified for price. The Honda Civic Type R is another great choice, but you better try and get one now. The Civic has been redesigned for 2022, and the new Type R is still a ways out. There are a handful of last Gen Type Rs out there, somewhere? It may look a little goofy, but the 306 horsepower output is a pretty solid apology. The Hyundai Veloster N is a little more funky than goofy looking, and it should be a hell of a lot easier to find one for sale than the Civic. With 275 horsepower, it's not as punchy as the Honda. And the ride can be downright punishing at times. But for five grand less, you've got to expect some compromises somewhere, right? And we have reviews and comparisons of all of these hatchbacks so you can see videos of those here, or here, or maybe here. By the way, if you're selling a Type R, hit me up in the comments below. Now to our section about coupes, known to pedants and our friends across the pond as coupés. I can do this all day. And now, for the poster child. For motoring fun, the Mazda MX5 Miata. This pint size little drop top is just ridiculously fun to toss into corners, or go cruising, or just blast down the highway. It kind of does everything really well. As the only convertible on the list, the Miata is one of the purest cars out there. Now, the specs and performance numbers may not be all that impressive, but I guarantee you, once you get in a Miata, it is the best way to inject dopamine straight into your noggin. What's better, even in the top trim, it comes in under $40,000. For around the same money as the Miata, you can also get the redesigned 2022 Subaru BRZ, or its sister from another Mr., the Toyota GR 86. They're also on the weak side, but still potent enough to have some fun with. If I were to make one suggestion, it'd be to use the cheapest tires you could find because it's one of the easiest and funnest cars to drift at low speeds, not that we suggest that you actually drift though. Wink. Remember to drift responsibly, though, closed course, professional driving, all that stuff. There are some honorable mentions to add, too. We've finally got a new Nissan Z on the way, and we're expecting it to start right in the 40 grand neighborhood. There's also a redesigned Subaru WRXTI over the horizon. And for less patient shoppers, the Mini John Cooper Works hardtop two door, and larger Kia Stinger, are worthy of consideration. So there you have it. Maybe this wasn't the fun under 40 video you searched for-- don't want to know-- but, you can indeed have fun under 40 grand. Do you agree with my list? Are there any you think that deserve to be included that weren't on this list? Well, I don't care what you think. This is my video. I kid. Let us know in the comments below, in your usual civilized tone. Thanks for watching. And don't forget to hit Like and Subscribe, and head over to edmunds.com for the latest news, reviews, and information on any of these vehicles. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Ford Mustang vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E

Despite having similar names, the Mustang and Ford Mustang Mach-E really only share one thing in common: a focus on speed and handling. The Mustang Mach-E is a compact electric SUV that's remarkably fun to drive and has a more intuitive interior than, say, a Tesla Model 3. The top-spec GT model is especially potent, offering up to 480 horsepower and 634 lb-ft of torque.

Compare Ford Mustang & Ford Mustang Mach-E features

Ford Mustang vs. Chevrolet Camaro

We think the Ford Mustang operates at the ideal midpoint between performance and comfort, though its two primary competitors favor one or the other. On the sporty side is the Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro offers a range of engaging powertrains, from the surprisingly speedy turbocharged four-cylinder to the ultimate supercharged V8 of the Camaro ZL1. Compromised outward visibility and limited storage limit its everyday usability.

Compare Ford Mustang & Chevrolet Camaro features

Ford Mustang vs. Dodge Challenger

The Dodge Challenger is the antithesis of the lithe Camaro and, to a lesser extent, the balanced Mustang. This is a big, heavy cruiser that's happier charging ahead on the highway than cutting apexes in canyons. Dodge has done an admirable job keeping this aging platform up-to-date (it was introduced during the first Obama administration) but there's no doubt the competition feels more modern.

Should I lease or buy a 2023 Ford Mustang?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
