I was blown away by the performance, looks, and quality of this car. The interior components are not cheaply made and ill fitting like the Fords of the past. Everything is top quality and controls are ergonomic. This car is very fast, but also nimble and predictable in turns, unlike Mustangs of the past. I really love the aggressive look, still better looking than the ugly 2015 Models.

This car was purchased in 2019 (at 54k miles) to enjoy a better commute (60+ miles daily) after researching and test driving many vehicles with manual transmissions. The Mustang is great fun to drive and the aftermarket Roush exhaust system is entertaining in every gear. With the correct tires and with traction control enabled, the car handles very well in the rain, through corners, and during energetic acceleration. The ride is rigid, as it should be for a sports car; this model year still has a solid rear axle. With the stock gear ratios and regular grade fuel, sporty driving results in 19/26 mpg mix and very conservative driving has resulted in 23/30 mpg mix (maximum), a very acceptable range for a 420 HP V8. Aside from the strong V8/6-speed manual transmission fun combination, the Mustang GT also provides: super AC/Heat with intuitive controls, great sound system with Sync (this one also happens to have satellite radio), adequately comfortable rear seat space, surprisingly ample trunk space, easy to interpret and tastefully illuminated instrument cluster, highly functional and useful fog lamps (have had to use them and they work great), functional heat extractors in the hood, 19" stock Mustang wheels (other sizes available), bright-enough interior lighting, and good driving visibility that is enhanced with the unobstructed rear side windows and good side-view mirror function. Comfort depends on the individual drivers and passengers. Personal experience from the driver's position has been comfort for the driving duration. The driver's seat is a combination of electromechanical and manual adjustments. This model's engine is naturally aspirated and to date, at 96k miles, and keeping up with the scheduled maintenance, has only required a water pump replacement at 90k miles (was still able to drive to shop for service), and brake service on the rear for wear and on the front to clear the creaking of the caliper slides (a known issue), and new tires at 95k miles. Overall, this Mustang offers a preferred combination of retro and modern technical attributes, performance, practicality and reliability that immediately made the daily 60-mile commute seem too short. The reality is: the radio is rarely on, the windows are always down, every shift is thrilling and every exhaust note is musical. 2023 update: At 110k miles and still enjoying driving this Mustang and shifting through the gears. Replaced the AC compressor at 109.4k miles. So far, no other issues with the car. Keeping up with all scheduled maintenance. Daily commute is still 300+ miles weekly.

Beautiful design, but it better be your second car

We purchased the 2013 Ford Mustang GT in August of 2012. It is beautifully built, nicely detailed, has the Sync system which allows hands-free calling and streaming of Pandora, etc. However, the comfort of the car is horrible!! If this is your play car only, it might work. But if you have to drive this car any distance, forget it. You can definitely feel the road, but not in a good way. Every bump hurts after a little while. And forget trying to drive it in the rain...yikes! So Ford, you did a beautiful job in making a nice car, but the comfort factor made us sell the car within 3 months.
Great fun

The Coyote 5.0L engine is just a marvel! Matched with the 6-speed manual, 3.73 rear-end, and Brembo brakes, it is a LOT of fun! Relatively inexpensive, leaving $$ for upgrades to make it better. Coilovers and a tune to get a little more performance will make it even more fun.

I purchased my 2013 base model 6 spd GT in 9/12. Bluetooth was added by the dealer. I track the car so have modified the suspension, brakes, shifter and 'tune'. Also Recaro seats (leather) were installed and a harness bar. The car started as a base model but I wanted the track apps of the premium model - I actually didn't realize it didn't come with the base model. Poor research on my part. Anyway - I sourced a premium dash cluster and reprogrammed it to work. So now I have track apps. With the suspension/tire/brake mods, it now pulls over a 'g' on the track. Only minor complaints to date: the back panel between the tali lights delaminates. Apparently it's a common problem, the dealer claims cosmetics are out of warranty. Additionally, the left rear radio speaker is malfunctioning. Oh - I'm STILL waiting for the airbag recall replacement.
