2014 Ford Mustang V6 Premium 2dr Convertible (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
8 of 11 people found this review helpful
After the 1st year or ownership, I could not wait to get rid of it. This model was designed with a flaw. Everytime it got wet or rained the water off the top went into wells in the door that overflowed into the car floor. When I took it in, it took almost two years for them to own up to the design problem. Before they accepted the problem, they told me it was a maintenance issue for me to fix every time it rained by bringing the car in to have the plugs pulled out and let the water drain from the rain or having it washed. This "maintenance" cost me almost $300 every trip and during afternoon heat showers in the Summer, it was outrageous! What idiot designed this model? What does he drive?

2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
11 of 16 people found this review helpful
Model - 2014 Mustang GT Premium with the 5.0L V8 and the 6 spd manual. Engine - Excellent rendition of a smooth Japanese V8 with DOHC and VTec, but it lacks the torque and immediacy of the old 5.0L small block. You will need to rev the engine well beyond 4k rpm to realize any benefit over a V6 sedan. Transmission - The 6 speed MT-82 Getrag is a huge disappointment. Not only is it produced in China with inferior parts and construction, but the shifter is remotely mounted making gear changes a nightmare when the vehicle is side loaded. When you combine the remote mounted shift mechanism with the stock Turkish sourced clutch assembly (that can't handle the full rpm range of the engine) you end up with a non-performer. Expect to be locked out of gear while the clutch pedal sits stuck to the floor anytime you're shifting over 6k rpm with the stock components. Attached to the transmission is a heavy two-piece driveshaft, which was needed when Ford went to the short MT-82. The clunks you will hear during stop and go traffic are caused by its excess weight and play in the joint. Some people are able to adjust their clutch engagement method to dampen the severity of the noise. Brakes - Find a model with the track package containing up-sized Brembo calipers. The stock GT brakes are adequate once you get used to the soft squishy pedal sinking to the floor on hard stops. Steering - This model came with numb electric power steering. There are 3 modes to adjust the weight, but the system just reduces the electric assist instead of providing actual feedback. Don't hop from a sports car into the Mustang expecting a road course ready car. Ford provides a good engine with a car wrapped around it and expects the owner and aftermarket suppliers to perform the engineering and troubleshooting that should have been done at the factory. All the problems have solutions, but not all owners will have the time or money to implement them.

2014 Ford Mustang V6 2dr Convertible (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful
Got my wife an Ingot Silver '14 Mustang convertible a few weeks ago to replace her aging Taurus. Nothing but smiles every time she talks about it. Weather permitting, she drives everywhere with the top down and enjoys the comments she gets about her car. It is quick and smooth and the miles just melt away when going on road trips with the sun shining and the top down. Hands down the most FUN car in thirty plus years of buying cars together. Low front end caught her a few days ago when she pulled into a parking spot and drove the front end up onto a curb popping a bunch of things loose in the front end...minimum of $1050 to repair but still waiting to get it back and see the full bill.
Still a Great Fun Car for my 84 year old friend!

This is an update: I unfortunately had to sell my 2017. Became too hard to get out of. I loved it in every other way, but was hurting my joints, the bucket seat is so deep and low. I got a 2017 Honda CRV Touring new (#1 class rating), and I love it. It's not a convertible (but has a sunroof). All in all, I really like it and my Aunt and Uncle liked it so well, for the same reasons, they traded in their Lincoln Town Car and bought a new CRV, the same as mine, top of the line. Apparently they liked it!!! Haha! PS - I got $24K for my 7 month old Mustang, paid $42K for it. Terrible depreciation - 43%. KBB by owner price = $27K, which still stinks. Be forewarned: they allow NOTHING for all those extra whistles and bells. I expect the Honda to really hold value. Still, was worth the taking the beating to feel and walk better. Original reviews follow: I had a white convertible, medium stone interior since I live at a warm beach. This is an update, since I sold it to an 83 year old gentleman who is having the time of his life with it. 50K miles with only one A/C issue so far. I retired from work in Alaska, so I wanted all the fresh air and sunshine I could get to make up for all the time spent indoors up in the land of the great outdoors (like most everyone I knew). This car fills the bill. Road trips are minimal in Alaska, but after 30 years of travel commuting I am staying home except for a trip to Atlanta last summer. However, I plan to go to Seattle to see my son next Spring, and maybe more trips after that. For that and other reasons I bought a brand new 2017 Mustang convertible. Mainly, this is due to all the new accident avoidance technology. Decided on the Ecoboost and I couldn't be happier. I got the Ecoboost without the performance package (for a smoother ride), but all electronics for $42K. Straight line acceleration above usable for merging isn't most important at my age, but I did take it up smoothly to the electronic-limited 121 mph once. The rear diffuser makes it hug the road even more at high speed. Gets up to 32 mpg on highway. It is a wonderful car. Even my BMW friends are jealous. The open top is the main thing, and the GT noise would block out the birds singing. But, if someone doesn't have the money to buy a new one, I recommend the 2014 highly. Lots of fun for the money. It got me to the beach for my every morning walk with the early rays of sun on the water, and along the waterfront under the stars at night. My older friend is still loving it and he brags to whoever will listen. This is an update and he still loves that 2014. He has the old fashioned class with sports jacket and roadster cap and is a cool old man.

I have always wanted a Mustang Convertible! I did some research as to what I wanted, I knew I didn't want brand new. I found this baby for not only a great price but in perfect condition. I did have her detailed as the dealers just don't do justice for a wash. She is beautiful and I didn't think I would love a car as much as I love her! She just wants to go when I am on the open road. I live in a beach town so the convertible is a must and turns many a head! I am sure the gas will go quicker as I love to just drive her. There is not much room in the back for large adults so if you have more than two people on a regular basis, I would not go for this. But the average adult once in awhile will enjoy it as much as I do.
