GENERAL COMMENTS
 
"Buy the V6! Buy the V6! Buy the V6! I know this bucks what others have said, but the V6 manual Mustang ROCKS! It only has 20 HP less than the old GT, and with a manual, it's fast...probably as fast as the old GT with an automatic. Even better, mileage rating is 28 mpg on the highway. On a recent 200 mile trip, I got exactly 28 mpg at 75mph. Others have covered the virtues and vices of this wonderful car. My advice is this: Don't overlook the V6. You might just love it as much as I do. "
Los Angeles , California - January, 2007
 
"This is my 3rd Mustang and the best one ever! This is definitely a car for fun and good weather. If you live where it snows, and are looking for a year round car, this is NOT the car for you. The worst is a rear wheel drive car in the snow, especially a car with some 'guts'. You'll be doing more donuts than you can stand. I got this Mustang as a second 'fun' car to my every day front wheel drive car. I love the sound of the engine as it starts up & who can resist going top down as the good weather approaches? This car is a keeper for many years to come. I LOVE IT!! "

"This car with the 4.0L v6 engine was quite a suprise to me with how much power it has and how well it handles. it is very fun to drive and not to bad on fuel for what it is. i would recomend this car."
Steve K. (Riverview , Michigan - February, 2006)
 
"This car makes this 50 year old feel like a teen again! My Legend Lime GT turns heads everywhere it goes. This includes mine, every time I look at it in my garage. I can't help doing a double take. Driving it is a dream. My first car was a Mopar muscle car. This car brings back all the feelings of power with greatly improved handling."
Blountville , Tennessee - December, 2005
 
"This is the most exhilirating car I have ever driven. The power is awesome. The style is beautiful. The roadholding and handling are excellent. The build quality is superb. I could go on ad infinitum, but have one caveat: Ford need to equip it with a telescopic steering wheel to produce a more ergonomic driving position. Other than that, I have no reservations. As one admiring stranger said to me, 'So, Ford finally got it right.' They have indeed. "
Neill  M. (Maryville , Tennessee - December, 2005)
