2006 Ford Mustang V6 V6 from North America

Summary:

I do not recommend this car to anyone!

Faults:

I highly do not recommend this car, there have been so many problems with it.

First, the door handle frame around the window buttons became loose.

After that, the cover over the light in the trunk broke off.

Then the part that you use to push the seat up from the top broke off in my hand when I pulled it one day. I was so upset.

Also, another thing was one day while driving, the driver side speaker started to sound scratchy because the speaker was blown.

Then one day I went to move the shifter that jammed up and did not want to move, and the plastic piece around it broke.

Also, when driving the steering wheel after 10,000 miles, the wheel started shaking and it's a horrible feeling. They tried everything to fix it, but every time I left the same problem was there, it never changed.

When ordering any warranty replacement parts, it also takes forever to get them in. I waited and had to deal with the problems being broken for almost three months.

General Comments:

This car is a sharp looking car.

The seats are a great design.

I like how the dash lights can change so many colors.

It picks up speed very fast.

One thing, this young person should remember is in domestics you have to gradually break them in, not break them. I have an 05 with about the same mileage and no problems ever.

Sounds like no care is taken not even putting stuff in the trunk. Some dudes are like that..

2006 Ford Mustang GT Premium 4.6 liter V8 from North America

Summary:

A great new car ... highlly recommended.

Faults:

Two plastic interior trim pieces were loose.

Auxiliary power point in center console was inoperative.

General Comments:

While not as high-tech as some other cars, the Mustang shows that proven technologies can still be used to create an entertaining car.

The Mustang's 4.6 liter V8 is intoxicating... providing ample horsepower and incredible torque. Surprisingly, I've been getting about 20 mpg in mixed driving.

Commuting has become quite pleasant in my Mustang. The driver's seat is supportive, and its bottom cushion is comfortably high off the floor. The interior decor is really entertaining. Yes, there is a lot of hard plastic in there, but it looks quite durable. One glitch: the stitching on the steering wheel is a bit rough to the touch.

Exterior styling is retro, tough, and distinctive. Even though there are plenty of them on the roads, I still get my fair share of admiring looks.

While its ride is compliant, handling can be a bit floaty. Perhaps its relatively high center of gravity is the culprit. Regardless, this is an extremely rewarding car to own ... especially at its mid-twenties price.

The Mustang GT is hard to compete against. It is a tremendous bargain in a beautifully styled and well built car, that offers performance characteristic of cars costing ten grand more.

Pontiac encountered a major problem in marketing their excellent Australian built GTO here because of the huge difference in price. All in all, no car currently made can touch the Mustang GT for all out value and great performance.

I'm impressed (but not surprised) that you get 20mpg out of yours. Ford has done a lot to increase fuel efficiency even in their larger and more powerful engines. Thank you for a great review of a great car.

2006 Ford Mustang Base 4.0 Liter from North America

Summary:

Wouldn't recommend the new retro Mustang to anyone

Faults:

Weather Strip around the inside of the hood pealed off. (Dealer Fixed)

Air Leak in the back passenger rear window.

Would not easily shift into reverse.

Stick-shift boot had holes wearing in it.

Very loose door side mirrors.

Had to get front rotors cut after 1,800 miles.

Steering Wheel vibrated at high speeds.

General Comments:

This was a very flashy and Awesome looking car, but the problems I had with the car over shadowed the awesomeness of the car.

Oh man! That's too bad what happened to your car!

Keep in mind that the steering wheel vibration is actually normal. My steering wheel vibrates as well.

I also own a manual V6 Mustang and the T-5 Tremec transmission is hard. You have to shift it in 1st gear, move a bit forward and shift it back into reverse.

About the rotors, that is strange. My friend owns a 2005 Mustang GT, and to this day (5/15/07) he hasn't changed or cut the rotors. And it's his daily driver. Also, he races and competes in drift events, with the stock rotors.

As for the other things, seems like some unmotivated worker at the factory installed your car. That is too bad. I hope you have resolved your car troubles!
