"Purchased 2012 Mustang for 16y/o because of the insync and emergency safety features. Of course, love the look of the 2012. The transmission leaked and we had two failed tires in the first six months. I vowed to never buy another FORD. However, my 16 y/o was in an accident, 2 blocks from home, the car was totaled, driver sustained an arm abrasion from the airbag. Car activated the SOS Emergency system. The ambulance and police arrived before I did. The car crumpled, but the passenger box was intact. Everyone from the police to the tow truck were amazed she was not killed. I replaced the totaled car with another 2012 Mustang. No transmission or tire issues with the second one."

"Your expert reviews did the car justice. However when one gets over the horsepower, braking and cornering ability, and starts exploring the Sync system with Nav, I am left wondering if I made the right decision. The sync system is the worst user interface I've ever touch my hands too. It's unreliable, reboots, freezes, drops Bluetooth connections, and constantly has USB removed errors. Trying to get Ford to fix, and not point fingers to everyone else, has left a very bad feeling about what else lies ahead for the electronics in this car. If you buy one of these cars, don't get sync or nav. And that's the only way I can recommend this car."

"I am very happy with my new 2012 Mustang Convertible. Thanks to cars.com, I found the dealer that had the exact car and color I wanted. That dealer turned out to be one of the best car buying experiences I have ever had in my 55 years of buying automobiles. Ford is doing a great job these days building a quality American car."

"I do love my mustang, but it wasn't really made for people under 6'. The inside is nice but it's difficult to get in and out with the seat so close to the dash. Other than that it's great. I have the V6 305 hp coupe and it does actually get pretty good mpg. Between 16-29 depending on driving habits and speed. The get up and go is good except with the AC on, then it's lacking. Love the styling of the exterior. I've only had it two months, so I haven't really experienced any mechanical problems."

"For those stuck with choosing Mustang or Camaro it all depends on what you want. I have had both a 2010 Camaro V6 and now the 2012 Mustang V6 MCA. The Camaro is a Great Cruiser and honestly I believe it looks better. But the Mustang by far is more fun, you feel more connected to the steering and the suspension where the Camaro felt very bland. The Camaro is a bigger car and is great for long drives. I still love the Camaro but if you looking for a "driver's car. The Mustang is the better choice."

"Yes, my 2012 Mustang bought on 3/3/12 is a "senior muscle car" because I am 70 and my great muscle car is only a V-6, yet it has plenty of umfff."

"I purchased a new Mustang GT convertable 3 months ago and have had a blast driving the car every since. Ford has done an excellent job in engineering this car the performance, handling and ride are all excellent. I am a former BMW owner and this car is everything my prior BMW's were for a lot less money. Keep up the good work."
