Definitely Fun!

I purchased a Royal Crimson Ecoboost with the 10 Speed automatic and man does it take off. It's super fun to drive and love the Suspension. My only regret was not buying a GT. There was a significant price difference when I purchased mine. The only downside is that they devalue a lot in the first two years. But so does another car, nevertheless, I definitely recommend it.

Already having issues

I only have driven the vehicle twice and haven’t made a monthly payment, and I already have it taken in for two issues. It’s already making a strange sound and the roof leaks water when it rains.

Feels Good to Drive this Car!

Traded in my '13 Infinity G-37x for a '18 EccoBoost Convertible in May of this year. I thought driving the G was fun but my Pony is hands down more fun to drive. The acceleration in any of the driving modes is good but drop her into Sport or Sport + mode and the I can't help but smile ear to ear. Obviously top down is the way to go and I drive that way as much as possible, but even with top up the car feels solid like a sedan and road, wind noise is not a factor to me. I take her through the automatic car wash at least weekly and so far no problems at all. All this driving excitement AND I'm seeing 20-22 mpg around town and 29-31 on during highway trips. All in all I am VERY happy with my mustang and if I need to keep her in the garage during the few winter days snow is a factor in New York, that is a small price to pay. I commute by train to NYC now but soon will have the opportunity to drive in and I am looking forward to driving this car every day. Test drive one and see.

Never Had So Much Fun Driving A Car

PROS: I recently purchased a new 2018 Mustang GT (in my always desires Race Red Color) and I’m in love with this car! I was hesitant to make the leap to a sports car/muscle car, but I’ve always wanted the experience (I’m coming from a 2015 Toyota Corolla). I’m extremely glad I gave in. This car is EXTREMELY fun to drive. The front cabin is very spacious and extremely comfortable. The V8 engine on the GT sounds like a monster when you turn it on. The car is very grounded and easy to drive. I’m actually having fun on the road again. It’s a great experience and well worth it! The Ecoboost also looks great too if you want to save more on gas mileage and sacrifice power. Overall, Ford did great with this car and I’m happy with my purchase! CONS: Very minor con in the base model is that the screen is small and not touch screen (c’mon Ford, it’s a 2018). But if you’re like me and care more about what’s under the hood, then it won’t matter. 5 Stars! Highly recommended!!!

Amazing Handling and Acceleration

This car has never failed to impress me. The ease-of-access in regards to its system quality, as well as, its ability to get up and go is impressive. It’s also very reliable. I commute to work-and this has been a great car in regards to gas mileage and cost effectiveness.

Ford Mustang GT

Fantastic, fun car. It’s very fast! Handles very well. Great ride as well. Comfortable, and seats are easily adjusted. Gas mileage on the highway is outstanding for a performance v-8 with 460hp! 25+ mpg on highway. Only negative so far was the gps system needed replacement with less then 2000 miles on the car.

Mustangs are the most reliable cars I've owned.

I had a 2003 V6 Prem. Manual 5 speed. Never had a problem with it. 120,000 miles traded it in, still had its original clutch and brake pads. Never snapped a hose or a belt, never blew a head gasket, never blew an engine. Never broke down, EVER !!! I had a few other cars after that, Suzuki, Subaru, but they did not compare to the Mustang. Then I had a 2012 Mustang of America edition V6 6 speed manual I bought it used, found out it had been abused and in an accident so in 2016 I bought a new 2017 grabber blue V6 w/6speed manual. Never an issue with that car either. At 45000 miles I got the new car itch again, and now I have a 10 speed Automatic EcoBoost Mustang. With the twin turbo, variable valve timing, and direct injection, it's actually as fast if not faster than the 2017 and 2012 V6's. It's a much lighter engine so it handles better and gets better fuel economy. I'm keeping this car for a few years. If gas engines are still around in 6 years my next purchase will be the Mustang Bullitt, if it's still available ? Mustangs are sporty, quick, agile, comfortable even more so now because of the independent rear suspension added to the 2018 model. The 10 speed is AWESOME !!! I'm feeding her only the best... Shell V-power, Nitro+ 93 octange. I opted for the 6 year 100k warranty along with the premium care service plan which adds about another 200/mo to my car payment. So I just bring it in every 5000 and Ford does ALL my scheduled maintenance for me and EVERYTHING is covered for the full 6 years/100k miles....hardly any out of pocket costs....and if anything major breaks, Ford fixes it and I pay nothing except for a small 50 - 100 dollar copay. It's like insurance against anything that goes wrong. I take extremely good care of my cars so I should have no problems. BUT, if anything does go wrong, I feel safe knowing I don't have to haul a pile of cash out of savings to pay for a new engine, or transmission, or A/C system, or Computer board, module, etc... I don't even have to pay for oil changes, everything is covered. I'd recommend Ford products to everyone. Fords are quality products and with the type of protection I now have I won't have to worry about anything. Just get in, drive it, and take care of it. Mustangs are AWESOME !!!!! Best car I've ever had and I've been driving now for 43 years and the 2018 Mustang is my 14th car I've owned.

Oustanding Performance value

This 2018 Mustang GT Premium is like the new (maybe the last) golden age of the internal combustion engine and it's evolution. Amazing amount of real world power, excellent street handling, and roomy front (forget the 2 seats in the back) even for a 6'2" driver. The 10 Speed auto is amazing as well.

Yep, still loving it

I traded my 2014 pony package V6 for my 2018 ecoboost in early November 2018. It's a 6-speed manual base model with 101A package and wheel and stripe package. The only major mod I've made is resonator delete, and custom magnaflow exhaust. Overall, love the performance (I drive in sport+ most of the time). Added bonus is the great mileage on 91 octane, as this is my daily commuter (22-23 mpg city, 27-29 mpg mixed, 32+ highway). Seats are more supportive and comfortable than my 2014, and the ride quality is comfortable without compromising in handling. If you haven't had a test drive, I highly recommend you consider the ecoboost (just do it before you drive the GT). That way, you can make a more informed decision.
