Like a hot girlfriend!

It has the looks and is fun on short drives but don't count on it for much more than that. Not comfortable on a long trip and not especially reliable. I've replaced the water pump twice in two years. There's an occasional knock in the steering or suspension linkage no one has been able to pinpoint. The stretch belt design for the a/c compressor is the stupidest design in history. Even experienced shop mechanics have a rough time putting one on.

1-Just purchased so can't address reliability yet 2-Lots of controlled power 3-I perceived too much hesitation before power kicked in with the automatic highly recommend manual tranny 4-Please thoroughly research Brembo Brakes when deciding on options - not a great option for average folk in my opinion w/high maintenance cost and no spare tire

Bought my V6 Mustang in 2012 with 7K miles on it. At 158K miles, I have only had to have 3 repairs made to it, and 2 of those were minor(away bars). The one expensive repair was replacing the coolant hose on the tranny. I expect to put 200K on it easily. Fun to drive and I still get compliments on how cool it looks. Overall a great car!

My 2012 GT Premium Convertible with Automatic

Bought the car used. Had many muscle cars growing up. Mostly GTO's. We love our Mustang. It is Triple Black. I get between 17 and 20 mpg on average. I don't drive as hard as I used to so that's probably the reason for the good gas mileage. As stated before, the Mustang is really a two seater. We done have a lot of the tech stuff the new ones have but we are quite comfortable in it. By the way, it's an automatic.

This Mustang replaced a 2007 which was a good car. The 2012 is more refined across the board. Besides expected replacement parts like tires, batteries and wiper blades, plus scheduled oil changes, it has never been back to the dealer. It only has 34K miles on it and the black exterior and interior are still like new. I also keep the car in a garage when not on the road. I get lots of compliments even know.
