Used 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible Consumer Reviews

The 2015 Mustang GT is finally a sports car. The removal of the solid rear axle was the best thing they could have done. The rear end hop has been eliminated which has taken a drag racer and made it into a touring car. The stock ride is surprisingly comfortable for the driver and passinger. Both have heated and air conditioned seats the driver has lumbar support and I don't know why they didn't put one in the passinger seat. As always the back seat is more of an ornament than anything else. Child seats or a few grocery bags is really all that you'll be able to use them for. The power and sound is great for a stock car but I'd like the exhaust to be just a bit louder. The headlights and signals are top notch I have the adaptive cruise control system and it's been problematic. The automatic windshield wipers will suddenly come on for no reason and the adaptive cruise control shuts down in heavy rain and ocasionally for no reason at all. It claims the sensor is blocked. The remedy is to pull over and restart the car. The adaptive cruise control is operated by a radar head mounted below the grill and it also serves as a colision warning system. It beeps and puts a red bar on the windshield. Having that shut down during a rain storm is not something you want to happen. The interior far exceeds previous standards and it isn't a plastic rattle trap that we've come to know and love. It has plush parts now and real metal. The navagation screen is sharp and large enough to read. The home screen can be reconfigured with personal wallpapers of anything you want. Unfortunately the leather on the passinger side dash started to bubble on the inside front corner. Ford had to replace the entire dashboard and the replacement dash has done the same thing. Two dashboards before the first scheduled oil change is a bit much. The car handles well even in normal touring mode. There are 3 steering modes and as far as I can tell they just decide how much power steering you have. By putting the pedal to the floor the tachometer gage will turn red at night when you touch the red line. I haven't used the line lock feature and probably won't. New tires are expensive. The car comes standard with W rated tires and I personally feel that they should change that to the Y performance rating. The car is very responsive and I have broken traction once on a tight curve. When these tires wear out I will be replacing them with a Y rated tire if for nothing else better traction. The convertible top has an insulation layer that reduces road noise and makes for a quiet ride. I can recommend this car over the Camaro and Challenger. The Camaro has 1.2 more letters but you only gain 20HP. The Camaro isn't as comfortable to ride in and has less features. ** UPDATE: I have had a total of 3 dashboards and have been informed by Ford Motor Company that it is normal for the windshield wipers to come on without warning while in automatic mode. When I pointed out to the dealership that my wife's Lincoln Navigator L has the same system and has never had any problem and I never had any such problem with my Mercedes that I traded in for the Mustang. They told me that this is a Ford not a Mercedes. I pointed out that the sticker on this Ford was over $5,000.00 higher than the 2013 Mercedes SLK that I traded in on the car. If Ford wants to charge premium prices they need to deliver premium goods. I will be getting new tires for the car soon.

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.
