Bought this for summer touring and it seems to be a good choice. Just finished a 4500-mile trip averaging 31.5 mpg. Ample power- mash the pedal at highway speeds and it gets up and moves. Drivetrain seems a little clunky- U-joints may have suffered under rental use. Body flexes a bit, but hey, it's a convertible. Dislike the AC/heater and audio controls- designed to look good in the sales brochures, you have to look at them to use them (touch screen w/menus or small hardwired buttons). These divert your attention from the road. Brakes excellent. Seat backs don't recline much, given limited rear-seat space, so not comfortable to sleep in (tried it). Seat cooler stopped working one day into the trip, but in the spirit of the pioneers, I pressed on. On the salt flats in Utah I tested max fuel economy- at a steady 45 mph on level ground, this thing gets 53 mpg (indicated). If that's real, that's amazing. Even at 31 mpg the 15-gallon tank will take you farther between stops than you want to go. Mileage around town is in the low-mid twenties, so this pony clearly prefers to run. For the money, this Mustang is quick, comfortable, and (largely) reliable. At a gas stop in Nebraska, a young man wearing his baseball cap backwards leaned out of his friend's beemer and said "Bro, tight wheels!" Have to admit, that feels good.

This car is really a pleasure to drive. It is every thing that I expected and more. I find the cloth seats very supportive and comfortable. As with every generation of Mustang the back seats are very tight. Love the handling as it has improved over previous models.

2017 Mustang Air Conditioning weak

I shouldn't be having Air Conditioning problems with such a new car and under 7,000 miles. My air conditioning went out and I took it to the dealer. They said it would be 2 to 3 days before they could get to it. Cars brought in on Monday and Tuesday were ahead of me and they were backed up. They never offered me a rental car until I spoke to the service manager and he checked to see what extended coverage protection I had. Fortunately I had the Extended service protection plan and so I qualified for a free rental car. No one would volunteer that information. Only after I pressed did they finally admit that I was due a rental car. They called Enterprise for me. So I am expecting my car to be in the shop for at least a week. The computer screen is also shutting off and restarting as we drive and the Blutooth disconnects during calls randomly. We love the car but the dealership is hard to work with and these small problems can be fixed...... Hopefully

2017 Mustang GT/Performance Package

S550Ryder, 04/07/2018
2017 Ford Mustang GT 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)

The Performance package stffins the suspension a lot to the point of a very bumpy ride on roads that are not real smooth. The ride is liveable if your expecting it, so if you are looking for a Touring ride, the performance package is not for you. The 6speed manual is a little disappointing. It clunks when shifting into gears from a stop, and is very notchy thru the upshifts. Ford says this is a normal action with the manuals, so beware when selecting a manual transmission. As expected the fuel economy is averageing 12mpg, with the 5.0 so don't complain about the lousy mileage. The GT handles very well with the GT package and steering response and brake response is excellent. Otherwise a nice package and I would buy it again but in the future I may opt for the new 10spd auto transmission which was not available in 2017.
