| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Its my third mustang. full 2012 Ford Mustang review |
| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Third Mustang I have owned, each is better performing and more sophisticated (for a performance car) than the one before. full 2012 Ford Mustang review |
| 2011 | 2dr Convertible 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Nothing quite like a Mustang convertible.... or any convertible really. This car was great to drive... Gas mileage good, V6 runs on 87 octane fine. Power is adequate after the engine is broken in (60,000mi for mine) as it was on the Interstates 95% of the time. Brakes are very good, comes with 2010 GT (v8) brakes.... nice. Ride quality is still a sports car, but has softer springs/shocks than the coupe. This agrees with my 50 year old backside. full 2011 Ford Mustang review |

This is the 3rd one that I have owned. I find them a very solid and drivable vehicle. full 2008 Ford Mustang review |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
Like my previous Mustangs, this car is fun to drive. It takes commutes beyond the ordinary. Like Caddy asks "when you turn on your car, does it return the favor?" My Mustang does for me. Driving it puts a smile on my face. full 2007 Ford Mustang review |

| 2011 | 2dr Convertible 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Bad was the vibration that developed as the miles piled up... when decelerating the whole driveline would buzz/vibrate heavily in 4th, 3rd, 2nd gear with the 6 speed manual trans. It can be "fixed" but will entail replacing the clutch and flywheel at a cost of $2500 (dealership) due to the clutch dust buildup on the movable counter weights located on the flywheel. No thanks.... I traded the vehicle at 100K and bought a 2013 Mustang V6 premium coupe automatic. Life is too short to drive boring cars. /RZ full 2011 Ford Mustang review |
