2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

I test drove a mustang convertible 16 years ago but put off the purchase because of the insurance cost. 16 years later I finally purchased a 2010 gt prem conv(one of the benefits of getting old...lower insurance costs) and could not be happier. This car is true American muscle car; its powerful, fun to drive and a great value. The cons (axle, handling.....) are all shortcomings I can live with. So if you are in the market for a muscle car I would highly recommend this car. I considered buying a late 60's early 70's muscle car but decided that the Mustang would give me the same thrill/feel without the hassle of dealing with an ongoing restoration project.

2010 Ford Mustang V6 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 5M)

Traded in our family car (2015 hyundai sonata) for 2ea mustangs with this being one. Let me say first off the v6 with the 4.0 and a 5-speed is one of the most solid setups these guys put together and it doesn't disappoint. Has great power and all but keeps up with my wifes 2014 with the v6 which is supposedly updated and has about 100hp on mine... hmmm lol Interior quality is lacking with hard plastic everywhere but it is a base model and this was bought with long range reliability in mind... and plastic won't rip or fade like leather haha. Seats are sufficient and almost exactly what I remember in my father's setup. Front passengers remain priority and the back has extremely limited room with smaller seats... adequate for 1 person to stretch across both sides lol. Where this car shines is the exterior and performance. The outside of this car is beautiful in the super red and has more than enough giddy up to have a little fun. Turn off traction control and it gets even better without blowing through tires in the v8. Overall they did a great job with this... Base model is really set up for the pure enthusiast that doesn't need/want many bells and whistles that over time will fail... and everything that could be improved upon has in new models... amazing job on this one ford. ***********************************UPDATE******************************* 2016-12-15 Had a few months to drive this car in all weather conditions and have a few extra notes to add. First off.... this car HATES the extreme cold of ND... I mean really. I know being up here I have to accept it and I did want it. That doesn't make it a deal breaker or bad, just a note... Now for further details: 1. The tranny in this car in the cold is really snotty. What I mean is it will be extremely hard to get into gear or after engaging and put my foot down it will occasionally pop out. I've learned to deal with this as once the car warms up completely the problem almost dissapears. 2. The stock tires are still on this thing and were clearly meant for Summer. So unless you're experience at how a car handles get a better set of tires and leave traction on. For me, I am choosing to make it through the winter on these before replacing them with Pirelli's. For now, I just turn off traction control before I move as it actually takes away from the functioning of the car and being able to rock it and almost ANY amount of gas will make the wheels spin in any snow. 3. Occasionally in the frigid cold that is ND, the engine will stall when coming to a stop of any sort and I need to restart the vehicle. This is in no part to do with any driving... it's just cold. I do run premium and will hopefully help solve this by Putting some Lucas in my engine next time I service it. My advice for now is unless you really know how to drive a car and can take something with a temper stay away from this one in extremely cold places. I am willing to trade hassle for handling in the warmer months and look to have this car for some time. For me, I'm willing to deal with all the above things as this car is rock solid and being able to drive it in this weather is a real feat some days, proving if I can do it anyone can. If you're in warmer weather you should absolutely LOVE this car. Nothing wrong with it.

Back to Domestics after 20 years

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

First domestic I've owned in 20 years, love it! Build quality is superior, paint rivals any other mfg in the world! I have a base model with one option: 3.73 axle upgrade. Very comfortable, love the engine sound tube into the interior, good economy considering 315 HP. I do lots of track days and it's very well balanced but quite underdamped, needs more shock damping. I've driven the "Track Pak" suspension on-track and it's worth the money, much better body control during cornering. Only other complaint is the seat, not supportive for sporty driving and the lower cushion gets uncomfortable after 2 hours.

Comfortable Muscle

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.

Traded in a 2005 V6 for the 2010 V8. As expected I was not disappointed. I shopped hard to find this car with the #4 accessory package which has the hood scoop and pedestal spoiler. Couple that with the candy apple red exterior and the 401A red interior and this car turns heads. The HID headlights,Shaker 1000 stereo.ambient lighting are must haves. This car rocks. Did my time with the minivans, SUV and 4 door sedans. The kids are gone and Dad is cruising.
