Used 2006 Ford Mustang Consumer Reviews
Best bang for your buck!
This is my third Mustang, my last being an '88 GT convertible that I also bought new. What a difference 18 years can make! This car is faster, smoother, quieter (yes, I know a convertible is noisier, I'm comparing to friends' '88 GT hatchback), quicker around the corners, stops better, sounds better and gets better gas mileage to boot. What's not to love? This car was love at first sight. I sold two cars to swing the downpayment and special ordered the car with all the toys - 18" wheels, and a 1000 watt 6 disc with subwoofers in the trunk. I'm a stick shift guy and this car has a wonderfully smooth transmission that shifts much better than my '88 GT. I commute 55 mi./day and get 22mpg
Great retro fun, but...
Bought this car after convincing my wife we "needed" a convertible. Since we have a child, we needed something with a back seat. Since I needed a "sports" car (re: not FWD), the Mustang was the only real option. After years of disliking Mustangs (Fox platform versions), and driving several Japanese cars (Civics, WRX, etc), I was pleasantly surprised how quickly this car reminded me what's important in a car...a good sounding and performing engine, great looks, and back-to-basics simplicity, which means living with some shortcomings. The rear live axle can feel a little unplanted on rough roads during spirited cornering. The interior materials quality is also low-rent in look and feel.

Return of the Mustang
I bought this car two weeks ago and have loved every minute I get to drive it. I even think about driving it when I'm working. Mine is a beautiful Windveil Blue that brings a tear to my eye every time I see it. And the power! I've always loved the old '60's Mustangs, but haven't been impressed by any of the Mustangs for the past several decades. I was so happy to see a return of the true muscle car look.
Mustang Man!
This my fourth Mustang in 5 years. I just traded in my 2005 for a 2006. These new models ride better, are quieter, and look like a Mustang should. I get stares and compliments all the time. The engine is strong especially in third and fourth gears in the higher rpm range. The car handles well with the almost 50/50 weight distribution. The only problem I have had is with rattles. My 2005 was in the shop three times for this problem. My 2006 has a small rattle. Even so I would still highly recommend the new GT to anyone.
Hot ride
I love this car. I used to have a '67 Fastback GT 390ci back in the day. Just had to have this one. Over all great car. However, there is a lot drive train clunk at lower speeds. Excellent customer service.
