I read a lot about Mustangs being I've owned mine for over 2 years and they seem to get a bad rap. I however love mine and wouldn't trade it for anything else unless I could get the same performance out of a 5th generation Firebird as I love their look. I've had no troubles or concerns with this car except the visibility of seeing who's beside you on the road. I got used to using the spot mirrors that came with the car so that's not really an issue anymore. I've made some tight turns and have traversed from one edge of the road to the other and the car handles with finesse. As to what those other crazies are doing out there causing accidents, I don't know. Perhaps they're bad drivers. The performance wasn't exactly to my liking as I would've preferred a V8 GT but didn't want to pay all the extra cash for one. True this car is limited to 118mph, but if you get yourself a digital tuner you can take that off. Thus far I'm sitting happy with a 87 SCT tune (93 with 750rpm idle for track races), modified Airaid/K&N CAI system, Poly-V drive belt, PowerStop drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic brake pads, Mustang/3.7 with MGP brake caliper covers, SR Performance one-piece aluminum drive shaft and strut tower brace, and H-rated Goodyear Triple-Tred tires. I am good to go! If I have money someday I'll get higher speed rated tires, headers and exhaust as well as a spoiler and sport stripes. But for now I'm happy as I can beat most cars on the road and ride in comfort when I feel like cruising. I've only been beaten by a higher profile BMW, Mercedes Benz, and a Charger R/T that someone obviously forked out a lot of cash to increase performance.. on the road, and at the drag strip by a 20XX GTO with NOS assist and a 6.1L SRT Challenger that I was right on his tail. Heck, my brother has one with racing tires, tune, and cyclone cold air intake and beat him.. wasn't easy.. he had me off the line but I caught up to him. All in all this is a great performance car and I tire of all the people who have something bad to say about it. Hey I respect all sports vehicles: Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, Lancers, Imprezas, etc... I like them all but I love my car and it's a blast. In a nutshell it's a good well rounded speedy car which can become a monster if you know how to tap into its resources. Thanks for listening. UPDATE: That being said, there are a few flaws. An exposed wire harness in the trunk for one. An exposed rear defroster wire on the inside of the rear window for two. My water pump went out at around 70,000 miles for three. The suspension started making noises around 80,000 miles, but I have had the car for 10 years. I also had to replace the refrigerant, but that wasn't so bad.. just that the place you stick it in is way back in the engine bay. Also, it's almost impossible to change your own transmission fluid is in the middle of the car plus have to drop the whole thing very messy job. Other than that the car is great, runs forever (motor and transmission), and I've beat it up a bit by changing axle ratio not knowing what I was doing. Changed it back and thank God the gear snapped back into place. I've driven it at 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile tracks as well as practice at an autocross track. The 3.7 has decent pickup, especially if you put a tune on it. I bought a digital tuner from SCT/MPT performance as well as an Airaid CAI, one-piece driveshaft, tower brace, and Power Stop brakes and rotors. Really like how the car performs. I also jerry rig my CAI cover it for better performance goes much faster. I definitely surprise alot of faster vehicles out there :) All in all I've really enjoyed my 2014 Ford Mustang 3.7 ownership. It's not the premium model either, just he bare bones 6-speed automatic. Mine has the Ruby Red Metallic paint and I added some 3M black stripes later had them professionally done, but unfortunately they only lasted a few years already starting to come off :( If you plan on getting one of these, you have my vote of approval! Mine has a little over 132,000 miles and I bought it brand new back in July 2014 from Sanderson Ford here in the Phoenix area. Thank you.

Wow ! Driving a 2014 V6 Convertible around Central Florida is FUN ! There are compromises - V6 for regular gas, automatic tranny more practical when I4 is a parking lot. BUT - this car hugs the road, loves curves, accelerates & brakes smoothly. I enjoy the handling as much as my wife appreciates the smooth ride. Still learning to use the SYNC, but I'm getting there.

14 GT Up to task!

2014 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)

So this is my 3rd GT, 1st was an '05 automatic which was bulletproof. 2nd was an '07 manual 5spd, great car. In Oct. '15 picked up this '14 used with 37k miles. Got a nice deal. Mileage was kinda high but I'm hoping this one will last me at least 4 more yrs. Have 65k miles now. So far this car has been great! Only real complaint is the clunky 2 piece transmission. It clunks sometimes going from 1st to 2nd gear and occasionally 3rd gear, especially driving normal. like just cruising around town. Also, when sitting in neutral, then shifting into 1st there is a thump. I was told the center carrier bearing was worn out because it flexes up and down, but I believe it does that purposely because of the 2 piece design. The car is rated at 420 HP, so power at the rear wheels is probably more like 380, maybe less, like 350. Despite the clunky trans, I've got 65k miles and she's been rock solid so far. I had to do a lot of driving for a sick relative where I was driving almost 3k a month for 4 months. Gas MPG went up during those trips. I was averaging almost 27-28 mpg, which I think is good for today's muscle car. Definitely fun to drive, I just added Borla stingers on 8/2/17 and I'm so glad I did! Wow! I had MagnaFlow before which were ok, but the Borla really clears her throat, with no drone either!!!!! I'm not gonna complain about the backseat or plastics in the interior. I didn't buy it for that. I will say no spare tire. I need to address that. If I get a flat, then I'll be waiting for the Tow truck. I'll probably buy one soon. If your looking for a V8 muscle car on a budget, I'd say the mustang gt will check every box you need. Challengers are heavier, you can't see out of the Camaro's. Mustang's have the right mix of streetability and performance with bang for your buck. As far as gas goes, I usually run 87, then 91 every 5th tank or so. I always run full synthetic oil. Usually get about 7500-8500 miles between changes.

Ok so I bought my car in 2014 when it was "brand new" so ive had it somewhere between 2-3 years and the odometer sits at 38,000 currently. It is a v6 3.7, the power that these cars put out for what it is is phenomenal. It is beyond a step of the older generations of course. I have raced GT v8s of the older gens and have either stayed equal or passed them up by a bit which is quite impressive considering those don't get the gas mileage that I get. The interior of the car is great but definitely could be better, if youre comparing to the 2015+ years then it feels old and outdated of course but its still a great and comfortable interior. The only downside id say about the interior is that the plastic does creek, its annoying but probably repairable if youre dedicated enough as well as not much back seat space but if you bought or are buying this car for a family car then you need to get your priorities straight. Another thing that kind of bothered me is my water pump went out at about 30k miles (probably just faulty from factory because others never had that issue) and my warranty covered it so I cannot hold that against Ford. But if there is one thing that I do hold a grudge is that my local dealer has poor customer service, and it seems that everytime I go there its a bunch of nonsense with them but I digress. Overall if youre looking to get the best of both worlds for a sports car that you can daily drive then this is your car, the options you can throw on later down the line if you choose is almost endless, they make performance and styling parts for this car like crazy so you could always make your ride unique to you if you choose to, and its pretty affordable to if youre comparing it to other things out there.

My first Mustang was a 1984 GT. Wow, they sure have come a long way in 30 years. My '84 had 200-225 HP and a carburetor. This has a 6 cyl. automatic and 305 HP! While this won't rule the drag strip, it has plenty of power. Interior is equipped nicely and is very comfortable for my 5' 11" frame. SYNC is handy, radio sounds nice, auto up and down windows are cool. Reaching behind me for the seat belt would be my only complaint. Leather wrapped steering wheel is very comfortable. Switching from comfort, standard and sport steering is a nice touch. Sport gives you a great feel for the road. The optional thumb shifter for sport I find unnecessary, but time will tell. I have owned the car for 2 years now, and all I can say is WOW! This has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned and still performs beyond my expectations. It turns heads wherever I go and am getting compliments continuously on the ruby red clear coat paint. Took a 500 mile road trip and was impressed by the comfort over my other cars (mostly SUVs).
