First let me say, that if you own a 2005 to 2009 Mustang GT you own something truly unique. I had a 2006 GT and a 2008 GT and in a way I wish I still had my 2006. Here is why: the look, feel, sound, gauges, dash, air conditioning registers on these years were retro and perfect and will never be duplicated again. Now about the 2010 GT, why would I buy a 2010 GT instead of a 2011? Proven and Perfect Motor, Proven and Perfect 5 speed, Proven and perfect steering, you can use 87 octane, the car is too fast and too quick for 95% of urban driving. What you have here is the perfected article. The safest, most reliable, most proven design to date. If you want the quickest get the 2011 5.0

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.
A dream come true..

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!!

Long time Honda buyer goes with a GT

This is the first Ford product I have owned in 20 years and I have to say that Ford has made serious progress. I have casually considered GT Mustangs for the past 10 years - I wanted that V- 8 engine - but was put off by many things. Among other things, the poor quality and ergonomics of the interior, the cheap black side mirrors, and rather bland handling. But I guess Ford finally listened to Consumer Reports. The interior is 200% improved over previous models and they finally put body-colored side mirrors on the car. The handling, however, is what really shocked me. It is on par with my Acura TL. The engine, of course, is what this car is about. It will not disappoint.
2010 Mustang GT with 3.73 rear axle pack

I got the GT (not Premium) with 3.73 rear axle package which came with better brakes and sportier stability programming. My 08 335i was repurched by BMW due to repetitive faulty high pressure fuel pump. So got a Stang to ride out the economy. The engine's power, torque, and sound are more fun than a 335's. Handling is shameful however..very loose and bouncy front to back and side to side. I find it necessary to spend $2k extra to upgrade the supension from 2005-FR3 package..which lowers the car and tighens things up. I hope that helps. Steering feel is light and dead numb unfortunately. Steering wheel is also to big.. Still, Engine makes up alot..Very Fun Car!
