Senior Muscle Car

Yes, my 2012 Mustang bought on 3/3/12 is a "senior muscle car" because I am 70 and my great muscle car is only a V-6, yet it has plenty of umfff.

put it down

the design is great all the new gagets inside are neat. been to the race track already and this car performs. MPG is really good for a V8 mustang 23MPG. i couldnt have got a competitor's sports care even close to this price. and this is the much better deal.

Best of the Breed

I purchased a new Mustang GT convertable 3 months ago and have had a blast driving the car every since. Ford has done an excellent job in engineering this car the performance, handling and ride are all excellent. I am a former BMW owner and this car is everything my prior BMW's were for a lot less money. Keep up the good work.

An excellent value for a convertible

I'm one of those weird people who keep a car a really long time. I drove a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron convertible for almost 21 years. When it came time to replace ye'ol LeBaron, I researched base model convertibles. I found many lightly used 2012 Mustang convertibles in the range of $22,999 to $24,999. Comparable Camaro convertibles were always $3,000 to $5,000 more. The base Mustang has a 305HP V6 that is averaging 22.5MPG in all city driving. The radio and stereo sound great, and even with power seats, the drivers seat has a manual height adjustment. Rear seat room is tight, but comfortable seating wise. If you are looking for the best 'bang for the buck' in a convertible, then the Base Mustang is the best choice.

Boss 302

Having owned many performance cars over the years, i had always wanted a mustang. This is definitely the best of the breed. A daily driver that is docile and easy to drive just cruising but with a bark and a bite with the mash of the accelerator. Superb handling, great power, excellent steering, great gear box with perfect gear ratios, comfortable seats. In easy urban driving achieving 20 mpg - who would have thought with 444 hp. This is absolutely a dream car for an enthusiast. Draw backs - cheap floor mats, basic radio deserves better speakers. The exhaust note will put a grin on your face every time. A dream car and a bargain compared with more expensive domestic and foreign offerings. Ford truly did a great job on this one. Drove a regular 5.0. it is amazing that two cars from the same family can be so different. Had to shop and shop to get a fair deal as too many dealers wanted over sticker. Purchased out of my area to get the deal I wanted.

Great new Mustang!!

Rented a 2011 Mustang V6 convertible for 10 days on vacation in Utah last fall, and was very impressed. Very comfortable over long distance, got 30mpg on the highway, and handled like a true sports car. We fell in love, so bought one when we got home: V6 Premium w/ Pony Package and 6-speed manual transmission. Shifts like silk, 300 hp provides plenty of torque without sacrificing fuel economy, and the leather seats are exceptionally comfortable. Although I would have preferrred the GT wheels and fog lamps, the V6 is a beautifully designed car, and great value for the cost. Feels like a long-term keeper!

2012 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

Very Powerful 5.0 engine and smooth manual transmission. Very little wind with top down or noise with top up. I have a little boy and the trunk is spacious enough for his stroller for the times he rides with dad. Space inside for storage could be a little bigger, but overall a great car for the money and even works well for a young family weekend driver.
