Only have 1300 miles on the car and the car started to have 2 major problems. The first is when you reach speeds of 50mph or greater the car vibrates and gets worse the faster you drive. The second is the shifting makes metal pinging noise. I have been at the dealer twice so far and they still have not fixed either problem. I am bringing the car back to the dealers again and I do not have much confidence that they will get it fixed. I have looked into these 2 problems and it seems that a lot of Mustang owners have the same problems without having their car fixed. I hope Edmunds reads this and looks into these problems. If anyone reading this and has these problems, please let Edmunds know and maybe they can help us out.

...looks great, lots of power and a lot of fun to drive. My Mustang has the performance package and is black on black with black emblems and smoked out lights. It draws much more attention than I ever thought it would. It has a lot of power. The car is geared low and driven by a high torque engine that easily breaks the wheels loose even when you are not trying. I think the vehicle would be a better ride geared just a bit higher...unless you want to drive it like a drag racer. I have wanted a muscle car for 50 years and this one is great. I would most certainly buy it again. Now I'll mention a couple of things that could be improved on. When the wheels break loose the car exhibits wheel hop. It is especially noticable if you are turning. There are some relatively inexpensive after market fixes for the problem but out of the factory you should expect wheel hop. The 6 speed shifter is not smooth. It is notchy and easy to miss select gears. There are a lot of after market shifters available for a few hundred dollars that would probably be a big improvement. I would have already put one in if I could install it myself. Since I don't have a lift I can't and I'm not comfortable giving my car to some potential mechanic hack to take it apart and put back together so for now I'm going to live with it. But all in all it is a great car for the money. If you are thinking of buying one, go for it and you won't be sorry.

Yes, They do! finally a mustang for modern America. With the new suspension in the rear this car drives! Instead of the old mustangs where going into a corner meant ending up at the coroner's, this mustang lets you power through in control. Fun to drive with a stiff but yet forgiving ride. Can't wait to take this to the track, both the drag and the road track. This does not however mean it's all roses for the new mustang. The interior leaves you wanting and thinking why? For example there are very few fake aluminum-plastic lookalike pieces, 5 switches 2 accents and the cowling around each primary air vents. With so few of these items why not use real aluminum? It would have increased the cost by 60 bucks so it leaves me saying why? Secondly the GT coyote engine suffers from a lack of tech. Ford makes the all amazing ford GT which has an engine that has the capability to turn off cylinders, and has the red light "stop start" function, these or at the very lest the "stop start" should be a must for this engine and would help massively with fuel eco. That being said the noise the cayote engine makes and the power it produces is something that must be experienced to believe! Two year update: Mods: X-force Mustang GT cat-back exhaust. Piston support for the hood. Rouche open air intake. I am still in love with my mustang, and now with the adjustable exhaust it can be extremely aggressive or, for my neighbours quiet and restrained. The open air intake completes the engine bay along with the support pistons for the hood I no longer need the hood prop stick. Taken a few long road trips and this is the mustang you want.. some times the computer is not the greatest system but with Apple car play I rarely interface with the base systems. Any negatives would be one of the plastic trunk latch covers has broken off, but I use this mustang to transport 2x4(s) for home projects and servers from DC to DC so I use and abuse the trunk and with all that use one broken plastic cover is honestly a surprise I was expecting far worse. An improvement would be soft touch closing trunk would be awesome and a sun/moon roof or all glass roof like the Jag F type would put this mustang over the top. Two years in and my opinion has not changed the 2017 mustang GT is the best mustang that has been made since 1968, and well worth anyone’s consideration! Good luck in the hunt for the car that suits you!
