2010 Ford Mustang User Reviews

Pros

Strong response time, ample features, fantastic tight handling

Cons

V6 behind-the-times, poor gas mileage

Purchased As New

I've had my pony for nearly a month now and I've been loving it. The car is very responsive to anything I do and the handling is superb. I've been able to do spins and take turns at speeds I'm sure would have sent my previous cars flying. You can feel the Mustang gripping the road.

The amenities are ample - heated leather power seats, electrochromatic mirrors, automatic headlights, voice-sync media/phone - at times I can feel like I'm in a $40,000 Lexus or Infiniti.

The car definitely attracts attention. People look all the time and smile or ask for a ride. If you're an attention kinda guy, this is a good option....read morehide

Pros

great 2010 exterior , great engine sound , refind.egronomics, breaks , 87 octane capable.

After 2 weeks of driving the new 2010 GT (manual tranny) i can put my 2 cents in a balanced way ( mind you - in my own humble opinion).

First the good :

Refind ext' , the car looks great , the new Stang' is realy a nice balance of new aggresive look with a nicely done hood and front facia that looks at you with tons of bite & attitude.
the interior looks much better as well , indeed it is still a ford and yes there are lots of "cheap" feel plastic that even on a honda accord looks better and so it feels. but again its all about priorities. and with this car there are no exeptions to the rules. (and lets compaire apples to apples.) the interior is way better than the 09 and its a great upgrade.
the car handles very good , the steering is a alive . responsive , but somtimes it feels like you need more feedback especialy on a slalom while pushing on 3rd @ high reves ( a minute point though).
Performance wise: this car rocks ! i clock'ed 5sec 0-60 . and topd of @150mph. it out performs the camaro SS in the breaking dept :60-0 in just 106 ft.-- on stock breaks & no fade, ( no brembos - GM ,,,)
I really like the new engine cold Air intake tube connector to the cabin which gives the car a fantastic & rewarding sounds . - i turned on the stereo only once in the past 2 weeks , i much rather listen to the engine. - fantastic ! !
The 2010 GT is a rewarding car . it is truely a genuine muscle every day car , you can drive with ease , and you can push it - the car will respond.
Rated at 315HP & 325 pft. its strong but not super strong - note that the power to weigh ratio is great , its is relativily light car and performs very good, there is enough room in the trunk , and a small 2 back seats . the 5 speed is good, not amazing . (could get a 6spd & a smoother short throw.
but again for the price you pay it is absolutly a great deal .

The Bad :

As always first things you notice are usualy the visual ones , and some exterior parts could be put together a little better (i.e. trunk lid odd back shape and gaps ) which dont really match the natural flow of the rear facia. also you will notice the plastics.
Small fuel tank which at 16 gallons you'll stop quit often @ the pump. EPA is 16/24 which are great numbers for the sporty GT V8 but i would try to maybe add the 6th ratio gear to cut on that + compete with the Camaro and the cometition from the mopar guys, and still save weight by not adding 5 gallons to the tank and save the great total weight margin besting Chevy & Dodge by 300+lb.

To sum it up, - the new 2010 GT is a fun affordable daily driver which lets you enjoy both worlds without having to sacrifies comfort , drivability , and fun, all in one package . great looking car , and for the price (especialy with the new Ford Lease program back) you can get yourself in one heck of a deal that neither GM & Dodge can compete with.
As far as reliability - as i wrote , i have the car for 2 weeks only and will have it for a total of 2 year Lease , its hard to say how reliable will it be , on that one we will see.

If you are in the market for a sporty coupe U.S built or foreign , i would definitly stop for a test drive at my local Ford dealer and check the new 2010 Mustang GT 5spd Manual.
it will make you smile every time you will pass that 3500rpm's and those 325 pf torque will leave a taste of MORE .......read morehide

Pros

great changes for 2010, Very sporty and love the retro pony edition

Cons

Heavy car with 210 hp, but knew that. For what I paid it works for me.

Purchased As New

The Sterling Grey premium pony is a great buy near $20,000 out the door,Added over the top black satin dual stripes and side rear and back louvers. This car looks great especially with the retro grill and chrome wheels and 18 inch tires. The leather interior with the dash and door sill lights that I can set to my preference is worth the money I spent on this weekend car. 23 mpg, just an outstanding value for what I got after dickering them down $6000....read morehide

Pros

Bold looks, no other V8 sounds as good, american heritage

Cons

Getting used to the design; underpowered, If you want more power wait for the 2012 model

Purchased As Not Purchased

I have own 3 mustangs and they have never let me down, I drive them very hard. I had a 98 Z/28 for a short while it was ugly, reminded me of a cheese wedge. At 30K miles the alternator burned out, then differential gave out, and at 50K the engine spun a crank bearing. The new mustang has the skeleton of last T-bird/lincoln LS and is very solid compared to my old 5.0. It is a luxury model with a great looking interior and exterior. Yes, it is underpowered compare to the camaro and 350z that cost a few thousand more. I went to test drive the 2010 camaro SS for $40K markup and really was not impressed the interior was very cheap and the A/C,heater, radio control cluster look like out of a toyota yaris. The gauge cluster design was awkard and the needles were bent. The camaro had plenty of power to spin the tires but felt heavy and exhaust sound is not as good as a mustang GT. I know many haters point out the low power of the ford V8 but remember it is 281ci ford vs. 360ci+ chevy. Unless you are going to RACE at every stoplight and cruise at 100mph is 426 hp practical? The 69 camaro copy exterior was nice but the rear end look exactly like a 76 nova with the backup lights floating in the middle of the bumper. If you want more power wait for the 2012 mustang with the new 400hp V8. I will be keeping my 06 stang GT a little longer....read morehide

Pros

Awesome V8 sound, lots of nice features, handling is better than expected.

Cons

Nothing.

Purchased As New

I have never owned a Mustang before and never thought of ever owning one. After test driving it I knew I was sold. It has one of the nicest V8 sounds I have ever heard. The SYNC feature is a must-have and the glass roof is beautiful. Handling was better than what I thought it was going to be and handled better than all of my previous cars. I am also impressed that it got all 5 star safety ratings. I would definitely recommend this car to anybody....read morehide

Pros

Great Exhuast Note, Quiet on Highway, Good MPG on Highway! No Rattles, Stability Control

Cons

Wish seats had 8 way instead of 6 way power seats.

Purchased As New

I recently purchased this car to replace a 2009 BMW 335i I leased. I ended up having someone take over my 335i lease. Loved that car, but HAD to buy American! Once they added stability control and Factory Sync, I was IN!!!

This car is truely amazing. Even though I loved my bmw (I leased 2 of them!), I have much more of a smile on my face when I drive this. (Especially with Top Down.)

When cruising on highway, I can achieve 28 MPG with a V8 powered car! (3.31 rear axle ratio) Car is at like 1800 RPM when your going 70+ mph.

Car is amazingly quiet on highway with Cloth top. I thought It would be very loud.

Cars OEM standard tires feel as though I have not sacrificed much handling to my Sport Package equipped BMW! Tires seem to be less than 150$ on tire rack! (Another Plus since BMW tires are over 300!!!)...read morehide

Pros

HOT

Cons

none

I bought the 2010 Sunset gold Mustang and it was the best thing I have done, "Duncan" runs like the best of them. Very good on gas, and very comfortable. Takes curves extremely smooth.

Pros

Great looks! Engine sounds/runs great! Very fun to drive!

Cons

None yet

Wanted the Camaro SS didnt like the wait and saw an all black 2010 Mustang GT and thought wow what a nice looking car! Test drove it and bought it the same day!!! Very satisfied with my purchase. Had it a little over a month now and still love driving it... Even the wife enjoys taking it out for a spin every now and then:o)...read morehide

Pros

gas mileage, power

Cons

none yet, still early though

Purchased As New

This basic model of the Mustang is exactly that. It's basic but not entirely lacking. The car looks great and gets plenty of looks and compliments. The interior is equipped with tilt, cruise, power windows, power mirrors and audio jack for iPod/mp3 player. I can't think of anything else I "need" on the inside. I like the seats and the cloth material.

Yes, the Camaro V6 has almost 100 more horsepower. I didn't choose the V6 for the horsepowser. The 210 horsepower in the Mustang moves the car very well and has me thinking how much more do I really need? If I wanted all that, I'd have gone with the GT. As it is now, insurance isn't as bad and its getting 22mpg consistently....read morehide

Pros

It is a MUSTANG

Cons

DUH, it is a MUSTANG

Purchased As New

I really love my car. I was the first around to have a 2010 Mustang, but to really ice it, it's a black Convertible. Life is wonderful and my pretty baby makes it the best. She goes when I press the accelerator with NO hesitation and the navigation system is fabulous. I love having the ability to record CDs and have my own collection at my fingertips. Nothong bad whatsoever to say about this car. The BEST ever!...read morehide
