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.

OK, I never thought I would own a V8 even in a truck. The gas mileage is relative, but not awful. You only get one life, and I always went for dependability in Toyota/Lexus, but if everyone would support the American economy and buy American cars again, you would be in for a surprise. I didn't go for the Shelby because I didn't want my insurance company to punish me, but the GT is a pleasant surprise. I had a new Toyota Truck I traded in, and I did it because the "Atkinson Cycle" engine is so poor in response time when you press the gas pedal. How many times did you need a burst of speed to keep from having a car ram you because you turned onto the road and misjudged their speed because they were speeding up to keep you from turning in front of them (you know who you are). Sure, you might argue it's fun to crawl over and down hills, but I'm not an off-road person (honestly, how many people do that?). This GT put a smile on my face just driving it down the road. I didn't need to put the pedal to the floor, you cruise and maneuver knowing if you need it, the power is there (trust me). After almost getting t-boned in my new truck with the response of a turtle I decided I wanted to stay alive. I decided to buy an American car to support our economy. American car companies know they have lagged in the market for years. That is why they have improved dramatically. You can dress it up as a sport car with stripes, or keep it simple. The burgundy color new Mustang looks awesome, almost like a Jaguar. The premium Shaker radio is great, although audiophiles will want to upgrade a door speaker or two, but it sounds great (you have to get the maximum speaker system I think it is 10 or 12). I always wanted a car that I didn't have to upgrade the stereo system. Even my Sirius subscription sounds good again. In my Tacoma, I thought it was the signal, but it was the stereo. Even the Tacoma JBL owners (a $2,000 upgrade) are upgrading the Tacoma speakers. I know this, it is complained about in Toyota forums. And the new Mustang technology is just fascinating. You can change the steering response, RPM engine response, interior lighting, set your seating positions for driver and passenger, and oh yes, you can open your garage door. I guess Toyota owners don't have garages, but driving up in my new truck WITH the technology package I had to wave my garage door opener around in the window! What the hell? There is so much to brag about, all I can say is we bought Toyota's and Honda's for years and this is the year of the American car. We are in America, let's start owning it. Buy American, you live here don't you? Don't listen to me, just go to the Toyota/Honda dealerships then go to American dealerships and see how far we have come. Even though my only complaint is the back seat, it won't matter with just me and my wife in the car. Check it out even if you're not planning on buying for a long time. I guarantee you will be impressed. The ONLY problem with my experience is Ford customer service is not even close to Toyota/Lexus. With Ford, it's like pulling teeth to get something done that SHOULD BE DONE ANYWAY. Toyota/Lexus would TELL YOU BEFORE YOU SAW THE PROBLEM, SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU, AND HAVE IT FIXED. It is disappointing to know they could do so much better if they would just emulate the competition's customer service procedures and attitudes. However, you only have to deal with their customer service a few times a year, you get to drive the car almost every day. As far as holding it's value, it really only matters how the car was maintained right? You can buy a used Toyota and not realize it never had the oil changed until the dealership changed it to resell it just as easy as a Mustang. Finally, it comes down to what you want. If you want luxury get a luxury car. If you want sporty get a Mustang. If you are going to want fast don't buy the Ecoboost 4 cylinder and put $10,000 into upgrading the engine, buy the V8 or Shelby. If you love stereo music don't buy the stock radio get the premium Shaker. I have ALWAYS spent at least $2,000+ and lots of time upgrading my car stereos, and this is the first time I don't feel the need to. It is a good feeling knowing I don't have cables and wires running under my carpet! Nobody can beat Focal/JL/Alpine but not having to rip my new door panels off is a good feeling. The bottom line is everyone complains about the economy in America then buys a Japanese car. Isn't it time to buy American? I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Just don't expect to be treated well after the sale.

An extra $3000 in aftermarket parts added to the GT premium with performance package makes for one great car. Cold air kit, long tube headers and Ford Racing by Borla exhaust, along with a re-tune, really supplies that extra boost in power and sound. The car is outstanding as a weekend cruiser, is a lot of fun at the local track and very comfortable for 2 people on a week long vacation. Can't say enough good things about it.

I've owned seven mustangs over the years and this one is the best yet. The motor and transmission fit together like a glove and run smooth. Acceleration is strong and smooth all the way through . The gauges and controls are well placed and the quality is great . It's one of the only cars I've ever owned that I truly love to drive . Ford's engineering team put alot of fit and finish into the final product. I'll leave my stock with the 3:55 rears and six speed manual . Everything from the tires and rims to push button start are right where the neex to be. It's a beast and is not for the faint of heart of the street racers. It's a refined automobile right off the line . Ghyh

Had a 2011 Camaro for 5 years - HUGE upgrade in quality moving into this GT Premium Mustang - LOVE IT! I'm in a unique position to review the 2016 Mustang, as I own both a 2016 GT Premium and a 2016 EcoBoost Premium - these cars are fantastic! The GT is my daily driver and I never get tired of how extremely cool it is, the EcoBoost is my roadtrip car for better gas mileage on long trips.
