2006 Ford Mustang V6 from North America - Comments

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.

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..

No, you DON'T have to "gradually break them in". I'm a mechanic, car enthusiast and racing fan. Some years ago a racing mechanic friend of mine told me to drive a new car the way I wanted it to run from day one. I took his advice and he was 100% correct. Newer domestics (or imports) no longer have a "break-in" period. That went out with the 50's. When I test drive a car it is red-lined on take offs, driven to 100+ mph if conditions permit, and generally flogged half to death. New cars (especially domestics) can take it. If they couldn't I wouldn't buy them. After I purchase a new car it is accelerated flat out every chance I get for the first 500-1000 miles. I've put over 200,000 miles on a number of cars with virtually no repairs and zero oil consumption. All of them have been very fast compared to other examples of the exact same car.

I currently own a 2007 Mustang 4.0 V-6 and it has been absolutely flawless. I NEVER, EVER buy the FIRST YEAR of ANY new design. The first year of a new model is prone to mistakes that are not corrected for a year or two. All new designs have bugs that show up, and the buyers end up being the ones to discover them, so I wouldn't be too hard on this young reviewer. (And I am NOT a "young person". I'm a senior citizen who has been driving for 48 years).

The only thing I really suspect may be the reviewer's fault is the blown speaker. Young people DO tend to enjoy destroying their hearing by listening to music at dangerous decibel levels. My Mustang has the really awesome Shaker sound system and if the bass is turned up and the volume is too high, it literally will shake the whole car AND destroy the speakers, along with the car occupant's eardrums.

I am about to buy one and it is in great shape but is it safe for me to buy one I am 15 and I am going to buy one for nine thousand dollars is it in good shape?

Sounds like the first poster is a bit heavy handed on the interior of the car. I've had one for a year and haven't had anything break off. Plastic is plastic. It breaks if you're too hard on it.
