first sports car I’ve owned.

Enjoying the ride. Handles well, brakes well. Comfortable. Good trunk room. Good visibility. Good ac and sound system. Back up camera great. Not a bad review for a woman who drives a Dodge Ram Hemi. I drive both, smooth transition.

Beautiful car, horrible functionality and reliabil

I purchased a 2016 ford mustang ecoboost with no mileage in 2017. The car has a sleek design and great visual appeal which initially caught my interest at first sight. The car has an almost luxurious look compared to other mustang models and really stands out. Unfortunately, this is where the positives end. During the 3 years I've owned the car, it has needed 2 fuel pump replacements a new mass air flow sensor and now the engine already has blowback at 100,000 miles (go figure just past the warranty). If you want a money pit car that looks nice ford is your go to. This is my second mustang, both were money pits. I figured the first one was just an unlucky fluke but man was I wrong. I will never buy a ford again, they are truly horrible designed cars from a functionality standpoint

Daughter's newer car

Sporty and economical vehicle rolled up into an eye pleasing package. Perfect for a deserving child ....first sports car...value minded individual that needs something with more pizzazz than a smart car.

Fun and reasonable

This car rides great, has the power to have fun and the comfort for an every day driver. The GT california special looks great and so far is the favorite car I've ever had, glad they brought back the coyote v8.

Looks nice. Poor build quality.

Fully optioned performance pack, black on black most expensive ecoboost on the lot. Car developed a vibration around 7k miles at 50-65 mph. Then shortly after the dash started rattling randomly in several different places. Took it into ford and they said there was nothing wrong with the car and noticed no vibration. I insisted they check tire/wheel balancing. Rebalance tires-no difference. Drove another 5k like that. Vibes rattles getting worse. Read posts about driveshaft issues on these and went back to the dealer. They had my car for a week. Pulled the shaft and sent it out for balance and reinstalled. After that the vibration was worse! Called ford directly and they gave me the run around. Around this time the car started smoking at idle when at full temp. Fed up with ford I decided to try and fix the car myself as no shops within two hours of where I live would touch it. I replaced the shaft with an aftermarket one piece. Vibe half gone. Balanced shaft on car and lowered trans member 1/4 in. Vibe no longer noticeable. Fixed dash rattles by taking dash apart and using tape and rubber cord between plastics. Smoking was due to fords poor engineering of the engines pcv turbo system. Pulled everything off the drivers side of the engine to get to pvc baffle on engine. Gutted pcv and installed a check valved catch can. No more smoke. Also replaced catylitic converter and spark plugs due to the fact of all the oil that went through it. This car was 34k before tax. I spent 3k of my own money on parts, plus a lot of time in labor and research that ford doesn’t seem capable of. Also the electronic power steering failed while I was driving the car home from work one day. An instant revert to a car with bad manual steering with a shot steering box. Got home and traced it to a bad ground connection on pass side shock tower. Fixed that and decided it was best to get rid of the car and cut my losses. This car was never beat and I always take good care of my vehicles. Maybe it’s not a coincidence theres a ton of these 15+ mustangs for sale. I’ve bought some expensive fords in my day, including two super duty trucks. I will never buy another ford.
