This review is for an ex-Hertz rental 2016 3.7 V-6 Mustang AUTOMATIC convertible purchased with 48,6XX miles. Car had a few dings and one fairly serious scratch, so we got a great deal. Excellent car overall so far, and running great as of 51,000 miles. Practical folks will be glad to hear the steering, braking, visibility, and reliability are all excellent. There is a sweet camera for backing up. Insurance costs on this car are very reasonable. Supposedly, the iron-sleeved aluminum V6 engine makes for better balance and more nimble handling compared to the much heavier cast iron V8 in the GT. I haven't driven the V8 enough to know. Interior electronics and controls are all visible, logical, efficient to use, and attractive to look at. Cloth seats are sculpted nicely with nice bolsters for lateral support. The cloth seats in the base convertible do not burn your butt on a hot day even though they are black. Climate controls are simple and functional. The convertible top is a vast improvement over previous models, especially for ladies. To unlock the top, there's a big, easy-to-grab D-handle right above the rear view mirror that you pull down and twist one 1/4 turn. Then you press a button until the top is back. That's it! For the fun-loving folks, acceleration from 0-60 is 5.3 seconds (this car is quicker than a '99 SVT Cobra Coupe). The speedometer says "GROUNDSPEED", as if there is some other sort of speed we might be measuring. A little hokey, perhaps. I love, love, love the glowing LED taillights. Period. Whoever came up with those....you rock. 2015-2016 taillight styling is already a huge improvement over the 2010-2014 models, and the sequential turn signals are just a bases loaded home run. ///CONS/// 1) GARAGE DOOR OPENER: NONE! Could use an integrated garage door (Homelink) button on the rearview mirror that shuts off when car is off. Our Jaguar XK8 convertible had Homelink buttons in the mirror, which they simply disabled when the ignition was off, to protect your garage contents. That's a great way to design it, imho. 2) KEY FOB: The key fob is kinda big. (Yes, I get that there’s an Emergency key inside of it.) 3) COLOR SCHEME: Not crazy about the black interior in most of the base models. Base model convertibles tend to have the black interior and a black top. Would have liked some sort of lighter camel or gray color on both, but we bought our car used. 4) CABIN FILTER: There is no good reason to make a cabin filter so hard to change. This stupid design has one strange screw holding it together. To make it worse, it is at an angle that makes it hard to see what tool you need. Thank God for the iPhone camera to let me see into tight places, and the internet to confirm what I see. Turns out, it is a T20 TORX head screw. WHY would they do this? To create billable hours for unskilled dealer technicians? I have a Torx toolset, but I still find this design completely ridiculous and unnecessary. This could have been assembled with a single plastic snap strap like my Hyundai. Ford added complexity here for no added value. That kind of engineering is OFFENSIVE to me and they are just ripping off their consumer. HINT: If you are agile and flexible, it is possible to change the cabin filter very quickly as follows: 1) Top down. 2) Move passenger seat all the way back 3) Tilt the backrest all the way back 4) Sit on passenger seat 5) Rotate 180 deg until your feet are toward the back seat and head is in footwell; you can now observe the underside of the dash 6) Observe the single Torx head screw 7) Remove the screw and pull out old filter 8) Insert new filter and reassemble ///SUMMARY/// OVERALL: There is a tremendous value here for the money. The Mustang has been improved over previous years I shopped for in nearly every possible way. Nearly every amenity you could think of, good looks from every angle (top up or top down), and great performance. For top down cruising, it is loads of fun. The rave reviews are not an exaggeration.

OK just a quick update from my previous review: So the dealer found the cause of the rear end noise, it was Lungnuts rolling around where the spare tire would be if there was one. The car has locking lungs on it so, someone put the spare lungnuts in trunk. Boy was I releaved! It has been a week since I purchased the Mustang and I have to say "It is my Dream Car"! It drives great & handles amazingly well. It was warm enough to put the top down...what a great day cruzing.

Love this car best I've owned. Back seat may as well be storage area. Instead wish the rear seats would fold down like the fastback.

Just bought the 2016 v6 Convertable Mustang drove it home went to park the car in my garage and I heard a "clunk" noise in the rear of the car. Wow you can hear it every time you stop the car even at 1 mile per hour. It takes the luster off your new car purchase. I'm headed back to the dealer tomorrow morning, I hope to get it fixed or get a replacement. It is very fustrating went are so excited about your purchase and it disappoints you!!

Really like this car. LOVE the white and tan leather interior. Wish there were some body stripes to make it more sporty looking. The biggest downside is the price….Its still Listed too high.
