Ex- Chevy guy

Finally, the new GT lives up to its reputation and becomes an ''adult" within the global community of entry level super cars. The lines, and styling are on par with any high end European vehicle, yet, retains the Detroit muscle look at second glance. The interior is no different, the word luxurious for an automobile that usually cries out, 20 year old kid with a wrench, can be used legitimately. Controls are ergonomic, easy to reach, and have a high quality flar. The front seats fit like an Italian glove, and make high speed cornering slip past with little notice. Shaker system needs no further explaining, nice. The suspension is surprisingly nimble for a heavier car, planted, but, not jarring. The IRS is a welcomed addition, and long overdue. An engine that not only makes short work of highway miles, is rev happy, willing to grunt out any twisties that you'd be more than interested in finding, and finding often. The 6 speed manual is light, crisp, and not a chore. Reverse issues have been resolved, and the added backup camera easily makes one feel in charge in tight situations. I cannot fault this new generation of Mustangs, other than a few more gallon capacity tank could provide more time carving up pavement...but, then again...pulling up to a crowded gas station? The smiles and nods of adoration warms the owners decision for their purchase.

Five shop visits in the first 6,000 miles!

Ford's complete indifference to customer satisfaction and its insistence in producing an unreliable product has ruined yet another potentially world-class car. This car is a blast to drive, but the abysmal quality is surpassed only by the arrogance of its dealers. In the first 5 months of ownership I have had the following issues: *Rumbling and vibration between 50 & 70 mph. *Drive shaft replaced at 1100 miles. *A/C not cooling properly/blower fan surges. *Radio malfunctioned 3 times, replaced once. *Windshield wipers malfunctioned. *Both front seatbacks have mechanical issues. *The amount of Convertible "cowl shake" has gone from acceptable to "wet noodle" in only 6000 miles!

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium 2dr Coupe (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
7 of 9 people found this review helpful

I picked up a new EcoBoost Premium yesterday and so far I really like the car. Having owned over 40 new cars over they years this is my first Mustang. I looked at 2014 models a couple of times but was turned off by the cheap interiors and this is something Ford has addressed in the new 2015. I selected the EcoBoost Premium over the GT because I don't need all that horsepower and the high insurance bill that comes with it. The EcoBoost has more than enough power to put your drivers license in danger!

Back in a Mustang after 41 years

The car itself is decent. The electronics leave a lot to be desired. The mirror on the passenger side has a mind of it's own. Often upon entering the car the mirror will move to the farthest setting and continue to attempt to move outside its mechanical limits. It pops and jumps until one turns on the ignition, then stops. The rear camera fails regularly. The dealership is at a loss. It makes ownership of an otherwise nice car seem crappy. Update: October 2020. The car remains dependable with no serious issues, although we drive it mainly on the weekends, so it only has 17K miles on it. The issue with the mirrors continues as both mirrors pop and jump for 15 to 20 seconds after one opens the doors. I figured that the mechanism would have stripped out the gears breaking them by now, however they so far they haven't. The car underwent a recall for door latches which were changed out. Ford sent out another letter a few weeks back wanting me to check something with the door latches, however I haven't had the time to address it yet. The car was selected to represent the 2015 year in a display at the Ponies in the Smokies car show in Tennessee. Once parked under the bright lights in the exhibition hall, the paint looked blotchy. Some experts identified the problem as "solvent pop", a situation where the solvent separates from the paint color and burst through the surface causing a blemish in the paint during the drying process. The problem is widespread in the models painted Deep Impact Blue. Ford refused to address the issue stating that as a production vehicle some flaws are to be expected. Our local body shop quoted me a price of 25K to repaint the car "correctly" or 4K to do a "used car paint job" that won't pass muster at any car show. It was suggested that we have a "color correction" and ceremic coating by a professional detailer. We paid $1500.00 for that service and are happy with the results. The detailer was able to finely sand/polish the surface and remove 90% of the blemishes. Of course adding a ceremic coating enhances any imperfections, so the paint has to look "perfect" before a ceremic coating is added. If we were serious car show people,, this paint issue would have likely made us trade the car for a different one, however we bought the car to use as a weekend cruiser, so we'll just live with the flaws. I upgraded the exhaust system with a Borla S type, and it sounds incredible! We added a cold air intake and a Bama tune which bumped the HP from 385 to 465. The back up camera still works intermittently. The dealer says there are no codes in the computer, so they are at a loss. Is this a fun car? Absolutely! Does the car attract attention? Too much! Does the car foster a sense of confidence of it's dependability? Yes. Given the issues experienced so far, does the car give the impression of quality? Not really. Would I buy this car again? No, the desire to own a Mustang has faded for us although we don't have plans to sell or trade the car at this time.

Crazy Coyote

This is a straight-up serious sports car (finally). Now that Ford (finally) gave the Mustang a fully independent rear suspension, this is the car Lee Iaccoca envisioned when he originally designed it to be a sports car. Older GTs had way too much power for the rear-end (and they would fish-tail forever - which is NOT good). This iteration stays pretty much sticky to the ground (much less fish-tailing) and a more controlled ride under full throttle. It has a nice sound (not overly so) with 5.0L V8, the Coyote engine is fun to drive at high-end revs and low end too. Has all the bells/whistles anyone would want (and even some you might not want?). Front seats are comfortable and supportive. Back seats are a little less than small (but this is more of a glorified 2-seater, anyways). Fit and finish is good (have just under 17K miles and no rattles or clunks. I do wish the bluetooth phone (Sync) was a bit more clear (voices are sometimes difficult to hear, more bass than treble- Ford says this is "normal"?). But my older Prius has tone adjustments for calls. I'm getting about 27mpg on the highway and about 18mpg in the city (22mpg overall). I use premium unleaded fuel (you can use any grade but the only way you're going to get the factory spec - 435HP, is to use the good stuff). Sound system is good (wish it were a bit louder?). Love the lane-sensors, which tells you there is a vehicle in your blind spots. Visibility out of the Mustang is just OK (it's low to the ground but way better than the Camaro). Best Mustang GT, to date. Now go get one. Still holding up well after 2.5 years. No further complaints. No squeaks/rattles. Although I do have an occasional issue with the back-up camera - where during warm weather it will go dead. It's intermittent, so I can't get Ford to fix. But I do have it "on the record" while the wty. was current.
