Fastest Car I've Owned

I have owned my 2012 Mustang GT 6 speed car for a year and a half now and have loved every minute of driving it. It is as fast as I need it to by and can take turns within reason. It is still a heavy car though. The sound of the V-8 through GT500 axleback mufflers from Ford Racing is exactly how the car should sound!

Great, fun, affordable sports car.

Super comfortable seats (I am 6 ft. 3in.). There is plenty of power in the six cylinder engine since Ford introduced Ecoboost. Good mileage too. Can't beat a convertible for fun driving in the summer. I also drive it late into the fall with the top down, windows up, and the heater and heated seats on. Has only needed regular oil changes for maintenance. Styling gets looks and comments all the time. Doesn't corner like my mid-engine Porsche Boxster S did, but it is much more comfortable and way less expensive to maintain.

Stylish, smooth and suave

I own this car model, and since I bought it people are always looking at me when I drive past. Even though it is not a GT the motor is so powerful and the engine is very reliable, not once have I had a problem with it. Interior seats are well made and comfy. Best buy for your buck.

WOW what a fun vehicle to drive

This car blows me away 444 hp and it runs and drives super, I out ran a new corvette with my little 302 and I get 24 mpg. It is quiet if you want it to be or you can rack the pipes and scare the neighbors. It is a fun car to drive my wife bought it for me on our 27th anniversary. The best car I have ever owned. I have a 1955 chevy with 327 fuel injection and this Mustang out performs it and I get super mileage and all the horse power I could wish for. I have a dealer ship Bob Hurley Ford to help me out if I break it.

Mustang Disappointment

This is the third Mustang I have owned in my lifetime and the first to disappointment me. The car functioned well for the first 3 years, after that time I had an unexpected $3300 worth of problems. I traded the car in when 2 more unexpected problems appeared that would cost an additional $3000+.

Most reliable car I have owned

No previous owners No accidents or parts replaced Clean/ready title Oil changes performed by myself every 5k miles or 8 months whichever came first with Royal purple full synthetic oil and Royal Purple oil filter. Engine and fuel system treatment performed before every oil change. The car is in excellent condition, runs great, eye catching and is a lot of fun to drive. The car was garage kept, only driven short distances in sunny weather. Never left outside or driven in the rain or snow. Professionally detailed every other week, engine detailed and maintained every 3-5 months, this car was mostly used to go to car shows and driven short distances on the weekends. Paint has had a 3 stage correction, topped with a 2-3 year protective coating, then a sealant. The gloss and reflection is like a mirror.
