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

Great car - but caution about the Performance Pack

The Performance Pack sets the car up for the racetrack. Yes, you get the fantastic Brembo brakes which are astonishing - but the ride quality is jittery, bumpy and nervous with steering that wants to follow every road imperfection. Felt like driving a car with very little suspension. In other words, exactly what you want in a track car but hard to enjoy day to day. Power is astonishing when driven right, keeping in mind that this engine is not a torque monster coming off the low end, but it has eye popping mid-range and high rev power. The sound when revving is scary good. I had the 3.73 rear end, and never could shift into 2nd and floor it without the car getting sideways. I tried but I could not live with the beast on a daily basis as a commuter. We live in the country where the roads are pot-holed and not so smooth and that amplified the very firm ride. Because it was so uncomfortable as a daily commuter (45 miles each way), I traded it in within two weeks. BTW, I am used to sporty cars, having driven a VW GTI for 15 years. Also, being 6' 3" it was hard to get in and out of the car, and I never really found a comfortable seat position. On the plus side - the power is addicting but be ready for 18 mpg overall if you use it often. If you take it easy, 26 is possible. The manual shifter is excellent. I really loved / feared the car - but I can't live with it. To be honest, I wish I had kept it and replaced the springs with some from a regular GT. Hard to convince the wife to let me try one again, ha ha ha. 6 years later - Traded the Mustang in for a new VW GTI. Been a great little car, 100% reliable, pretty darn quick with a Stage 1 ECU flash applied... BUT I wish I had kept the Mustang, had every option and it was freaking MEMORABLE.

A dream car for sure!!!!!

The ride is amazing. It's amazingly quiet of other vehicles or I'm just mesmerized by the purr of the 5.0 V8 sound. Extremely comfortable while driving. Seats mold to you, lumbar support for driver is great and I love the option of heat or cool for seats. I love everything about this car. I have the new color---Guard Metallic. It's gorgeous!!

Terrific California Special

Great rider,fantastic acceleration,exterior paint quality is OK, not great, Sync3 great improvement over 2015. Much better vehicle than competition. Add Catback exhaust and Airaid induction and you have a great running machine

Beautiful, powerful, comfortable GT

Most people assume it cost my much more than it did.

Great car
