The Mustang has been redesigned for 2010. Fresh new sheet metal wraps around an updated interior, giving the icon a more modern look and feel.
The Mustang is available either as a coupe or convertible. Each is available with a V6 or a V8. The 210-hp 4.0L V6 carries over unchanged. The 4.6L V8 receives an increase in power - producing 315-hp for 2010. A five-speed manual transmission is standard; a five-speed automatic is optional. New for this year, all Mustangs are equipped with standard electronic stability control and LED sequential tail lamps for enhanced safety. The standard aluminum wheels grow in diameter for this year - now 17" and 18".
"Our week with the new Mustang was far too short. It's without question the car that was hardest to part with. We still dream about the raucous growl of full-throttle stomps and the aggressive looks in Grabber Blue..."
"But, unlike the Shelby, which has an automatic tranny, this features a sweet shifting and well-placed 5-speed versus the automatic. Translation: violent tire-smoking burnouts, at will, even with the traction control “on”. It truly feels like you are breaking the law just getting into this beast."
"The Shelby GT-H is definitely not a luxury or economy car. Road noise and rough pavement could wear a person down on extended road trips. Although, one could fight off the weariness by pressing..."
Strengths: Looks, speed, ambient lighting, overall fun car to drive, love the handling, aftermarket options.
Weaknesses: clutch seems week, no interior trunk release.
Summary: Love this car. There is endless aftermarket parts for personalizing. Car is fast and constantly gets lookers. Interior is comfortable, and it is a blast to drive.

Year / Model Reviewed: 2008 Mustang Convertible v6
Strengths: The car is beautiful with the top up or down, but that is mere opinion. Engine has nice torgue - which is what really matters. Drives like much more powerful car in normal driving because of the torque. 60k drivetrain warranty.
Weaknesses: Plastic interior is attractive, but feels cheaper than should be. Poor mpg - only a tad better than v8 that has 100hp more power. Had a squeak in top connection posts (fixed with a clean and silicone).
Summary: Great car for the money. Fun to drive. Don't be fooled by lower hp. Shelby quote: "HP sells cars. Torque wins races." I wouldn't race any vettes or GT's, but the torque will make tooling around town fun. I bought because I wanted the convertible and appearance, without spending a lot. I get lots of looks (was surprised). When people compliment the car (often), I have to fight the urge to constantly tell them how little I actually paid for it. I bought a former rental. Never worry about that if it has less than 15k miles. Yes, a renter or two may have been rough (only for a few miles), but 99% of people are gentle and drive well. I've never had a problem with former rentals. Just check all the tune up components. I checked the air filter and was shocked at how gray it was (for 15k mils). LA must be more polluted than I thought. Just love the car.

Year / Model Reviewed: 2007 Ford Mustang Convertible GT
Strengths: Power
Handling
Stereo
Over all look
Comfortable seats
Can really dress this car up with chrome
Weaknesses: Convertible top is a pain to latch
No GPS option
Automatic doesn't give you a shift option
Summary: My wife earned the V6 Pony from her company and we paid $5500 to upgrade it to the GT.
Wasn't a car that I would have ever considered buying but I must say that I'm very impressed with the car. Very fast and the stock engine sounds very throaty with its 300 horses!
We get a ton of compliments on the car, it is a beauty!!!
The traction control is nice because the back end will get squirrely on you if get heavy on the pedal.

Year / Model Reviewed: 2007 hard top
Strengths: Excellent Paint, Looks, Wheels, Engine, Overall fit and finish is quality. Quiet ride but a again, a nice throaty engine growl Cockpit like a fighter.
Weaknesses: As indicated in other reviews the interior plastic parts are a liitle bland and the carpet is cheap. LEather seats are nice but not plush
Summary: Great bang for the buck. A real head turner that looks a mustang should! I opted for the 6 cyl (for daughter) with side airbags, ABS, auto, sirrius, leather, antitheft system and the pony package. Its a peppy engine that has a nice little growl to it. Car rides stiff but handles well. Got a greta deal through the X-plan and NUMEROUS cash back incentives.

Year / Model Reviewed: 2007 Mustang Pony 6 cyl. Coupe
Strengths: Beautiful car, retro style. Fuel efficient V6 with good power. No problems of any kind during the first 2,000 miles. Car draws a lot of attention and comments. Handles awesome - no body roll. Top safety rating.
Weaknesses: If you want a GT, buy a GT. The V6 is not a substitute for a V8. Shop your insurance agent first as the GT's insurance is nearly double the V6. Anti-lock brakes are an option, but should be standard on all models.
Summary: Beautiful car with excellent fit and finish. My father bought me a new 2007 Mustang. I wanted a GT, but the insurance was outrageously expensive as I m a new driver. I drove the 6 cyl. immediately after the GT and there is a big difference in bottom-end power. The 6 cyl. just does not have the torque of the V8. My car has the Interior Appearance Package and tan leather. It has two-tone door panels and looks sweet. The Shaker 500-watt stereo is great. The seats are very comfortable. The back seat has surprising room. I got a Pony Package car and the fog lights look better than the GT, in my opinion. I also really like the "bullit" style polished wheels. The Pony Package also includes 17-inch, Z-rated tire GT sway bar. The Torch Red paint draws a lot of attention. Visibility forward is good, but there are blind spots. I'm tall(6'2") and I am glad we got power seats. Make sure you get the V6 Safety and Performance packages. I can't understand why anti-lock brakes and traction control are options. They are standard on GTs, but not on V6 models. I read that the Mustang is top-rated for safety.
