2016 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I had a 2010 Mustang GT I bought new, and was ready for a new car. Looked seriously at the highly rated Camaro SS, and also considered the Challenger RT. Really was in the mood for a change, instead of another Mustang GT. That said, found a great deal on a new 16 bright red GT, paying almost $9,000 less than I would have paid for the base Camaro SS. I know the SS is rated a little higher, is a little faster, etc, but for the price I paid, I am very pleased with the new GT. It has changed significantly from the 2010 model I traded in.... handles better, is quicker, looks cool, is much more planted on the road, and gets better gas mileage, even after adding 100 plus additional hp. For the price, I am very happy with the car. It's fun, looks great, drives great, and is way faster than I need to go!

Love my GT even more daily

2016 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 6M)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

This is my first Mustang ever as well as my first convertible. I never had a family member to own one or a close friend. I had "friends" in high school that did, but never rode in one. I rented this vehicle in August of this year and loved it from the start. The feeling of being in a convertible is like no other driving experience I have ever had. I also had never driven a V8 before either. It was a pure endorphin/adrenaline rush. During my car research I looked also looked at the Camaro 2SS, while it was truly a great car it was just too expensive. Another deciding factor in choosing the Mustang was that I had watched "A Faster Horse" on Netflix. For those who haven't watched the documentary it is a great film on how they designed and made the new 2015 model as well as how the original come to be. I just felt more of a connection to the Mustang and honestly Chevy had burned me before on a 98 Malibu I bought new. Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned. So it was an uphill battle for them anyway. So the car itself....biggest pro to me is the look of the car. I just stare at it in my garage and when I walk up to it at the grocery store. It is a race red black top GT and it is gorgeous in my opinion. Some folks don't like the new design, but I would not have considered this car without the new design. The other biggest pro is the power. Why you would buy an Ecoboost or a V6 in a Mustang is beyond me. Yes the gas mileage sucks, but man that car rumbles and has sooooo much character that you just don't get in the other smaller engines. It makes me smile every time I push the start button. Finally, the other pluses is all the technology in the car. This thing has got it all....I won't list them here as you can check it out yourself, but a hidden gem I found is that you can program your key so that the car wont go over a certain speed and the radio wont go over a certain level. It also tracks the miles put on the car with that key. So if I want my son, who is 16 and gets giddy every time I let him drive it (Im in the car with him), to drive it without me at least it is the realm of a discussion to be considered. The biggest downside to this car is the ride. It is bumpy and I mean BUMPY. You feel every divot in the road. I know this isn't a luxury car....I got that and I wasn't expecting a BMW cloud feeling, but for the first time ever I got slightly car sick after a 5 hour drive to see my family for the holidays. We had to stop so I could get rid of the motion headache I had. So, that is a big bummer. I feel that if they could have made the "Normal" mode just a bit smoother on the suspension that they would have a perfect car. Now I own it and I am sure I will get used to it. It does not diminish how I feel about the car overall. I love driving it around town, but wont be taking it on any long trips without at least a half a Bonine in my system. I do look forward to taking it to the beach...I mean.....it's a convertible...that is a requirement. The gas mileage is what you would expect from a V8....not very good. However, I was getting 27mpg on the interstate with cruise control on, but city is 18 to 19. A few other things to note before I close is that the feel of the steering wheel is great and adjustable with the steering mode. I keep it on Comfortable while driving around town, but kick it back to sport when I want to push it. The SYNC system is great, but I am still fighting the voice command a bit as she doesn't always understand me. A bit more work could go into that aspect of the software. The biggest thing here is that the car is just fun to drive. I didn't go for practical, I went for fun and if you want a fun car.... get the Mustang GT, and if you are feeling really spirited...make it a convertible.

Just so much fun

Got the GT with performance package and manual gearbox in Deep Blue with Black interior, all options for under $40K. What a car! Great build quality. Performance is very strong. Drives better than any Mustang I've ever had of 2 others and even my porsche and AMG Mercedes. The new Sync entertainment system is easy and intuitive. Fast and fun. No buyers remorse whatsoever. And, the GT350 just beat a $350K Ferrari for Performance Car of the Year from Road and Track. Get one with 6 spd manual and you will not be disappointed. Smaller kids fit in the back and have lots of fun. Good trunk space. Way to go Ford. Great to see the USA building a truly world class car.

Lots of great couple not so good

2016 Ford Mustang V6 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)

Fit finish are great. Features are impressive, especially the telemetry and endless things to monitor on the dash. Back up camera is awesome...and this is the lower end one. The v6 has power to spare and the ride is awesome. The wife loves the adjustable steering response. The Bluetooth has been a pain but it works. It would be nice if the delivery of the vehicle included a checklist of features on the vehicle...there seems go be a lot of confusion as to what we do and don't have installed. Also, moving the seats is clunky, folding them to get access to the back seats is clumsy. Overall, this is a very cool car!

I recently purchased a v6 with the 051A package which is a must. You get the beautiful 18 inch 5 star wheels and 6 way power drivers seat. The car has great acceleration and very good steering feel. The ride is very good and the seat is comfortable. The car gets compliments everywhere I go especially when at the gas pumps. After 3 years of ownership still love the car !
