2006 V6

bought my 06 in May of 07, 18000 miles, now has 47000, it sits through the Ohio winters, It looks new, the only thing I did was tint the back window, drive it to Mecum in Indy every May, and all the local shows around Cleveland , it runs great and has good speed for highway travel, a real cruiser, I don't care much for the 2010 and up, but everyone has their own taste. I will hold on to it as long as I can drive.

Bait and Switch

They advertise cars at great prices that they do not have. Once you?re on the lot high pressure to try and get you into another vehicle. The old ?Bait and Switch? trick.

Best Bang for the Buck

I did a review on this car several months ago under the name 2 Snakes and just want to give an update. At that time the car had 71000 trouble free miles of enjoyment. I'm down to one snake now and it's a Viper. The Cobra R went to Mexico to a Ford museum. Now the car has 240,000 miles and is still going strong. Only major repair was a clutch replacement last month. Gee, the first one only lasted 235,000 miles! I'm retired now so I won't be piling the miles on like I used to so it's time to spiff it up a bit. My plan is for lowering springs and 20" tires/wheels. I'll have some paint touch up done to make it look new again and possibly put new carpeting in the front. The front carpet wore out on the driver's side even with floor mats. I guess they slid around enough over the carpet to wear it in places. Mechanically it's still sound and dependable and even though there are a few bruises here and there, there is no rust anywhere on the body. I can't help but rave about this car as it's as good as it gets and the best part of it, it is AMERICAN!

Beware of these years

The 2005 to 2007 Mustangs have a serious defect that Ford refuses to fix. You can't get any fuel into the tank. The nozzle keeps clicking off.

2006 Ford Mustang Convertible V6

Just purchased this car about a month ago- racing red with a tan soft top. Overall beautiful car, drives nice and ride comfort is good considering its a sports car. You can still feel the bumps in the road pretty good because of the sports tuned suspension, but nothing to crazy. We have a few issues with the vehicle that are considered minor in my opinion- there is a rattling noise behind the dash when idling and around 40mph, somewhat annoying. Than there is also the starting problem sometimes it starts on the first crank, sometimes it takes a few cranks. It is winter in NJ right now, but it should start on the first try. I bought the car from a Ford dealer, so they are standing behind the vehicle and fixing it free of charge, along with providing us with a loaner. Other than these 2 minor issues, the car runs great, and the engine has a beautiful growl and hum when you are accelerating. This car gets up to speed fast- don't underestimate the power of the 4.0 liter V6 in this car- if you push the car to its limits, you will be in shock how fast it goes. My car has the tan leather interior along with the shaker audio system. The shaker audio system is a must have feature considering how great it sounds! The bass is unbelievable and really 'shakes'! The interior on 06 mustangs and pretty much all mustangs is basic- nothing crazy just the basics you would expect. Manual air conditioning, radio, etc. If you opt for the convertible, it adds a few more interior controls. My car also has the pony package, which is highly recommended. It adds ABS brakes, fog lamps that look awesome on the front grill, and some other safety features like traction control. It also adds the MyColor option to the speedometer which allows you to control the color of the speedometer- cool feature! Overall, if you are in the market for a 06 mustang, it is a great car and expect many years of fun driving and reliability! as long as you maintain this car, it will last for a very long time!

Sporty Mustang fun to drive

I purchased a 2006 Ford Mustang for my son, (Bribed him to get good grades). I forgot how much fun it is to drive a sports car. V-6 still peppy enough to get down the road but no too fast to invite speeding tickets. My mini van is on a short leash.

Great sports car for the money

I purchased this 2006, white Ford Mustang and love it. I owned a 2001, red Ford Mustang that I bought in 2007 prior to this purchase and both have held up nicely and made driving a little more fun!
