"I have owned a Mustang for 2 months now and it is fantastic! I typically buy GM cars, but after few disappointing drives in the Camaro, I decided that I would give Ford a shot. All I can say is WOW! Ford really really beats Chevy in almost every aspect. The power is unbeatable for a V6, 305HP with a 0-60 averaging in the mid 5's. Some V8's can't even beat that. The fuel economy is excellent for being a performance car. If I drive fuel consciously (which is not easy) I can achieve around 20MPG City and 34MPG Highway. Handling on this car is great, it definitely can take the corners! One of the cool features to enhance your driving experience is the adjustable power steering setting in the car's computer. You can choose "Comfort" which makes it very easy to steer, "Sport" which requires the most effort, but makes driving more fun, and "standard" which is in between the two. The interior in the V6 Premium is top notch, especially compared to the older plastic Mustang interiors. The styling is nice and Ford used some high quality materials on the interior. The front seats are pretty comfortable with plenty of leg and head space, which is more than I can say for the Camaro. The back seats are not bad for being a coupe, though I wouldn't recommend anyone over 5'10" sitting back there. The SYNC feature is pretty easy to use and is convenient when people call while you are driving or if you want to listen to music through your phone. Another neat feature is the color changing gauges and ambient lighting, something that I only see on high end luxury cars. Last but not least, the safety features. All the seats have headrests (unlike the Camaro), the blind spot mirrors are very helpful despite the fact that this car does not have many blind spots. (If anything, the Camaro should have these mirrors for as many blind spots that car has.) The MyKey safety feature is good to have if you have other people driving your car (especially kids) as it can limit speed, limit audio volume, mute audio if passengers are not buckled in, and prevent the driver from turning off traction control. Overall, I am very happy with this car and with Ford in general. The only thing I can say the Camaro has that the Mustang doesn't is a better looking exterior (they are both nice but the Camaro has a bit better exterior styling) and the Heads-Up display. This car really has the most bang for your buck with great styling, comfortable yet fun handling, and just the cool features that Ford has incorporated along the way."

"Absolutely the best performance bang for the buck on the market. Truly world class sports performance and can be used as an every day driver too."

"I traded in my 2010 Challenger RT for the 2012 Mustang V-6 convertable. I completely enjoy the Mustang from the time I get in, until the time I park it. Better gas milage, lots more looks and having a convertable is just insane. Got a speeding ticket 4 days after owning. Even with a high price radar detector. Lots of head room unlike the Dodge. Just something about owning a Ford Mustang anyway. Camaro's are way to uncomfortable getting in and getting out. Can't see much either once your in. Get a Mustang people."

"We rented a new Mustang V6 for ten days in the fall of 2011 and drove about 1000 miles in southern Utah. The car was such a gem--perfect for touring through red rock canyon country--that we decided to buy one. We got a very good deal on the exact car we wanted: Kona blue Premium w/ pony package and 6 speed manual transmission. The auto magazine reviews are right on the mark when they sing the praises of this car! The styling, while not the "classic retro" 2005-09 Bullit car, is clean and simple, and the drive train is superb--a short throw gear shift mated to a powerful (305 hp) engine that provides excellent acceleration and remarkable fuel economy, about 28 mpg in real world driving that is mostly on the open road. The seats are comfortable for long distance driving--I recently did 750 miles in one day. The ride is firm, giving good road feedback, but not harsh, and the steering is light and accurate (zero wandering). I now have about 6500 miles on the car, and there is nothing I would change. It has adequate luggage space for long trips (use soft bags, not hardbacks), a fabulous heater so that you can start early on a frosty morning with the top down (and windows up), and the stereo (w/ single CD and Sirius capability) is a joy--bluegrass plays especially well! Because we live in a snowy climate, this convertible is a summer car. It comes with stability control and ABS, so would likely be fine with four snow tires in winter. But it will live in the barn from December-April, and we're counting on driving it in good weather for 20 years--it's that much fun! Ford got the '64-66 Mustang convertible right, especially with a 289 V8 and four speed. I'd say that this one is even better."

"Bought my convertible 2012 V6 Mustang Premium Package from Ford as a CPO used car. The car handles flawlessly and it has plenty of power for a 6 cylinder, it even gets great gas mileage! The 6-speed automatic transmission is smooth and adapts to your driving style. The seats are comfortable and supportive for my 6' tall frame. The convertible top is easy to use and requires next to no effort to operate. The SYNC stereo system takes a bit to learn, but once you do it is VERY useful! My only complaints are minor - the stereo bass isn't as strong as the previous generation (Shaker 500). The rear view mirror has auto-dimming feature, but it isn't fast and doesn't get quite as dark as I'd like; we would have appreciated a flip down feature on it. The blind-spot mirrors are kinda weird, still on the fence on those. All in all this is a fantastic car for both spirited driving and daily commuting. It puts a huge smile on my face every time I start 'er up! Lastly, we flew 400 miles to pick this up, and our dealership [Barber Ford, Ventura, CA] was awesome. We feel fortunate we dealt with them. Mr. Maranzi was great, they even picked us up at the airport!"

"I love my Mustang! This is the third one I own: 2000, 2005, and 2012. My last two have been convertibles, which I really enjoy. The only con to this car is the lack of space and difficulty loading luggage into the trunk, but that's to be expected given it's a sports car and a convertible."

"I traded off a 2006 Mustang V6 convertible for a 2012 Mustang V6 covertible. The 2012 has a 45% increase in horsepower and a 20% increase in mileage from the 2006 model. Additional advantages of the 2012 vs the 2006 model include: a better ride, significantly improved electronics and increased features. The 2006 model was a reliable vehicle and it was purchased by my son-in-law. I have no reason to suspect that the 2012 model won't also prove to be quite reliable."

"I have owned mustangs over the years,,the style ,perf of the 11 version I enjoy very much,,the new V6 is a very nice balance if power and design,,avoid the 11 stick shift as for some reason they were made in china and ford has been paying warranty claims since,,the recent announcement of a "restyle' in the future seems a mistake assuring these cars as classics"
