2006 Ford Mustang consumer reviews

The looks are great, the mechanical parts are excellent and parts are plentiful and cheap. the convertible top works perfectly and never leaks.

This was my first Mustang. I was looking for a V8, but this V6 came along at a price I couldn't refuse. I was black with a 5 speed transmission. Only 2 previous owners made it very appealing as well. Style wise, the car is amazing as it reminds me of the late 60's to early 70's body style. The interior is laid out well and it's far more compforartabe than I expected it would be. The only draw back, and all cars are built this way, are far too many plastic pushpin hold it together. All in all, it's a great car with plenty of get up and go for a V6.

Low mileage and in great condition. The owner was very friendly and easy to work with. This car was well taken care of.

4L V6 wants to go. Easy top to put down and great sound system. Beautiful lines that give a nod to the classic 60's mustang. I love this car!

This is my daily car. It has all the bells and whistles you could ask for in a Mustang. Horsepower, looks, sound and reliability are just a few words to describe the pleasure of this car.

For the 2006 4.0 V6 with a manual transmission, from the factory, things start wearing out at about the 70,000 mile mark. If they have not been replaced, you can expect the clutch (and slave cylinder), transmission (if never serviced) and front suspension pivot points to be ready to be replaced. I had all that done, and added a lot of other stuff to make this car my first Muscle car. I ended up putting more money into it than I should have, and incompetent performance shops/garages did not help, but I did it because I never had a Muscle car growing up, and I am living my USA while I still can. It is a truly fun car to drive now, with a roots style blower (from 210 hp to 340 hp) and other goodies for handling and gearing that has it performing better than the GT's of this model year range, accept for the brakes. I feel the brakes are too week in stock form, (most compact cars have better brakes IMO), and wear out much faster than the parts I went through above. The E-brake might as well be disconnected, (because you don't dare use it anyway), as they will keep your rear disks at a "well done" overheated blue. The E-brake lines drag, or the linkage is a bad design, because they keep the pads on the disks. In less than 80,000 miles, I have replaced the rear disks and calipers twice, the front disks once, and they are almost all worn out again. Even driving it every winter, the chassis is pretty clean, with no advanced rust problems, and all the electronic, (and mechanical, accept for the E-brake) functions still work. I think I will restore the car to show condition over the next few years, and keep it for a long time.

I've owned my 06 mustang gt for about a year now. Has 72k miles. It's a solid, fun to drive car, and I average 18mpg daily driving. I do have a few problems: the smart junction box has failed internally and caused the alarm and remote keyless entry to not work. Also, the speedometer doesn't work when its cold outside (bad stepper motors inside of the instrument cluster), I've also had the notorious dash rattle near the a-pillars from the worn felt tape. Had a water pump leak and seized e-brake cables. Maybe the first owner neglected it. Overall its a fun car to own and drive.

I bought a brand new 2006 Mustang GT convertible premium and I love it. It's comfortable for either getting to and from work or going for a long drive. I love the retro but simple modern styling inside and out, the 80's and 90's were too boring and the newest mustangs are too flashy. The 4.6 V8 is very smooth and when you gunn the motor it pulls with amazing power. The automatic tranny is good, but it prefers heavy acceleration and doesn't like to be babied, which is a good thing for people who drive it fast, especially me. I never had any issues with the car. I plan on keeping this car and I'm willing to rebuild the engine and transmission when it comes to that time. It's the best car I have ever purchased.

Bought a 2006 v6 w/ Pony Pkg. @ auction; black w/ tinted everything Bought new tires & new battery; a little bumpy due to older-style suspension & pot-holes Runs & looks as good as when new 1 complaint: the fan Off switch is not with the fan control where it should be! It's on the vent control?! 2 problems: a) there is a clicking sound sometimes when I adjust the vent control (going from head to foot, or to windshield) (may have been due to the old battery, though) & b) the Driver's window LOWERS instead of raises after I shut the door! (just started this week)

I bought a GT in 2006. It was a dream come true, and still is. 8 years later she's still a head turner. In addition, you can purchase bolt on parts that will increase your horsepower significantly. I put a supercharger on mine, as well as new suspension parts, cat back mufflers, and bigger tires and rims. That's what is so great about Mustangs.... It is, and always has been, one of the most customizable cars ever produced. No two are the same, each being a unique design that the owner created. It's like the gift that keeps on giving. If you're thinking about buying a Mustang, do it, and don't look back!
