Comfortable Muscle

2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

The 2010 Mustang GT Premium is every bit a high quality muscle car that I expected it to be. What it didn't expect is it has also been our favorite car to take trips across the country. This car rides very comfortably and after hours on the road my back and legs are still fresh and not sore at all. The exhaust sound is a muffled roar on the inside which I like because it's not too loud, but at the same time it's rather loud if you standing near it while it drives by. I like this too because others instantly know it's a muscle car but I don't have to shout to talk to passengers. This car runs very smooth and has never given us any issues in 54,000 miles. The 5-speed manual is lots of fun and the only thing that's not perfect on this car as sometimes the shifter will get a little sticky between 2nd and 3rd gear. Other than that excellent car all around. By the way I get 24.5 MPG on long highway trips.

Off the HOOK!!!

Fantastic machine! I have been a Ford fan for a while now, and have been patiently waiting for my chance to buy a Mustang; I am NOT dissapointed. Oh - and do not listen to the folks that say to wait for the '11s - this car has more power than a normal human being requires on today's roads!!! The car handles extremely well, and the five-speed is a dream to operate. Ford has also executed the redesigned and upgraded interior in such a way as to put most 'luxury cars' to shame! I liked the new 2005 Mustang, but this car is off the charts in execution, fun, and excitement. Heads are turning wherever I go - a very cool feeling. Rock on, Ford!!!

I recently bought a 2010 Mustang Convertible (base V6 automatic). What an awesome ride! It has more than enough power to get me into trouble, and is an absolute beauty. The lines are amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone.

This is the only new car purchase I have ever made in my lifetime and probably will remain so. I've always been a car guy since my infancy. The family up the street had a yellow '65 mustang with a black roof. I've been hooked ever since. I've owned several Mustangs including a 1979 GT and a '89LX 5.0. The latter became my daily driver for many years (over 235 thousand miles). My 2010 is treated to the garage when not in use and it has never been in the rain or snow. Whenever I indulge myself to give it a drive, I'm never in any hurry whatsoever. This beautiful, lively, fun resonant machine is my dream toy come true. I purchased it brand new in 2009 and it still looks completely new. Three years after purchase, I did experience a warranty problem with the clutch as several bolts were not torqued to spec at the factory. My dealership fixed it for free (including a brand new clutch). The car was quite fast when I purchased it. However, I noticed that acceleration and engine performance improved markedly after the first 7000 miles or so. I broke it in very gently (in keeping with how I take care of the rest of the car). Some reviewers scoff at the lowly 4.6 liter 3 valve V8. The Coyote 5.0 introduced in 2011 touting an extra 100 horses stole the hearts of many Mustang aficionados. The VVT 5.0 is a great motor. However, I think the 4.6 sounds better and it's plenty powerful enough to scare me sometimes. Honestly, it's all the performance I could ask for. 0-60 time in the 4.6 is about 5 seconds. The Coyote will cut off about 1/3 of a second or so from that. It's really no discernible difference for those of us who just like the feel of an old American V8. I don't race this car and never plan to do so anyway. If you're into 0-60 times, get a 5.0 and buy the necessary aftermarket stuff to really hot it up (don't forget your rollbar and throw in a blower while your at it). There seems to be no limit to how much people can modify these cars. I'll keep this car bone stock for as long as I have the mental and physical faculties which allow me to drive it well and appreciate it. Thereafter, I hope that one or both of our children get to enjoy it. I have made countless films and videos of it from every angle. To me it is rock-solid and pure with no clutter inside or out. Upon doing research to purchase it, I tried out a variety of colors in the computer simulated car on Ford's website and found that sunset gold was the color for me. It's quite different, beautiful, and, best of all, it can be readily seen by distracted motorists who might be bumbling about on the road. Altogether, I adore the V8 grunt of this thing, the smell of the interior, trunk and underhood areas, the totally American feel of the car and its great appearance and handling. The only options on my GT Standard are the 5-speed manual tranny, the 3.73 rear end and the upgraded front brakes that came with that option. The interior of this GT Standard is clean, simple and almost austere with no excess chrome, electronic gadgetry or gimmicky bells and whistles. Although, I love the shiny metallic bezels around the classic analog gauges. Give me A.C. - it's the only option I need. This is the first car I've ever had that runs just as wonderfully with it on full blast as it does off. The sound system is great to boot but I rarely turn it on nor play CDs. The simple V8 under the hood blowing out notes from the back is the best stereo I'll ever own. Whenever go through the gears, I feel like a musician performing a virtuoso piece on a well-crafted instrument. The car was actually built in May 2009. is now nearly 14 years since I drove it home from the dealership. I'm about to hit 32000 miles on the odometer. Still, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning every time I pop into the garage, get into it and crank it up. Cheers to Ford!!

BEST CAR, HANDS DOWN

I have a 5-speed boy-toy! It is fast, pretty, and comfortable. This car will fly low and feel good at the same time. I got the updated interior (in red). It rides smooth, yet handles better than my old sports car. The interior features are much better than past mustangs; it is almost luxury grade. It is the best car I have ever owned in my 55 years. I tested BMWs, infinitis, mazdas, mitsubishis, audis, and lots more. Nothing, save a porsche (which costs twice as much) comes close in "fun-to-drive" and full features. The only let down was gas mileage, but what can you expect from a V-8 that has to be driven fast?!
