2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium 2dr Coupe (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I owned 4 mustangs over the last 10 yrs but this 2016 ecoboost is by far the best. I'm very impressed with the performance and the new look is impressive. Considering that is a 4 cyl with 310hp the ride comfort and acceleration is amazing.

2016 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Review

First of all, I would prefer a Mustang in a V6 Premium Package, which is not available. That said, the EcoBoost 4 cylinder motor performs much better than I thought it would. It has gobs of power and is very economical. During a two day rental for the purpose of taking an extended test drive, we got excellent gas mileage. The handling is superb. The Shaker sound system and the other electronic goodies are very nice. The big turn off for us was the level of road noise. I felt this may have been related to the tires installed on the car, but we would not purchase any car with this level of road noise. If I was positive this could be mitigated by changing the tires, I might feel differently, but we were not willing to make an investment this large on an unknown. We loved the looks and handling, but hated the noise level.

2016 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)

I trade my BMW 325ci 2004 for the Ford Mustang and had no remorse at all. Mustang has everything that BMW has. The BMW has way too much plastic inside for a luxury car. Mustang is just a perfect interior. The performer is just like any other luxury car and is made in the USA. I really recommend the Ford Mustang. No lousy price for everything the car has. For V6 got enough power like sports cars and technology is the ultimate in cars. The only thing is the comfort of the seat, I take much getting used to the front seat, and the rear seat is way too small and has less space. But overall from 1 to 10; I gave a 9. After one year of driving, a get used to the car and I still love it from the first day. ( Update After a couple of years) May 2019 I'm still like the car. The paint, interiors, and all instrument panel are still in perfect condition. Well, I take care all the time. The air conditioning evaporator was replaced because of failure. But it was on the warranty when that happened. Today in an update on 2020, I still recommend this car. I was used to the seat that in the beginning was a bit uncomfortable. Now I feel the seat is great. Everything is still great for November 2020, I do not regret the change. After a while! my update is that I trade my V6 for a Mustang GT Premium Package. I love the car. Now from auto transmission, to shift transmission. I still love the car more than before.

I bought the 2016 Mustang Premium GT and am super happy. This car has all the bells and whistles. Car feels like a dream driving down the road. Has all the power I would ever need. I live in the city so I got the automatic due to the stop and go traffic of course. Extremely smooth transmission. Has Sync 3 which is really great. Navigation works flawless along with the Bluetooth and I love being able to tell the car what temp I want and it sets it. The interior looks wonderful from the leather seats to the classy gauges on the dash. Car holds the roads really well around curves and back roads. Many options to choose from such as steering handling and modes for the engine and tranny. I keep mine in normal mostly to preserve gas. I'm getting roughly 18 MPG. I think that's pretty good in the city. Anyway again I love this car and look forward to driving it each day. My first Ford car and have been totally blown away. Update: I still love the car. I have had a couple issues but nothing severe yet. I noticed that the projection side mirror light's image of the mustang isn't clear anymore. Not a big deal but haven't even owned the car a year and already an issue. One day I was getting out of the car and the electric side mirror started moving on its own. Was all messed up moving too far to one side and making an awful noise like was about to break off. I opened the door back up to get into the car again and it stopped. Everything seems to be okay and it hasn't happened again.

Poor exterior workmanship

2016 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 6M)

I purchased a performance package GT convertible in January. The exterior body panels were not bonded correctly by the roller at the factory causing noticeable creases at the edges of the trunk, passenger door and hood. The car has been reviewed by the dealer and 2 body shops and all agree this is a factory defect. Problem is that FORD CORPORATE says it is NOT their problem. Dealer is working with me to correct the poor workmanship but I am concerned that after the trunk, door and hood panels are all reworked and repainted that the value of the car will be depreciated. FORD should just take this car back and give me the straight car I paid $44k for.
