051A Guard V6 Review

If you have sight issues, order the Park Assist for $295 and listen to the beep, beep, beep. No spectacles needed.

Personally, I don't care if it has a backup camera. I just want the V6! My wife wants the back up camera and I don't want to have to buy an EcoBoost premium in order to get a 'easily viewable' image. If I can convince her the V6 image will be okay, it will go a long way to convincing her the V6 is okay.

Read my post above Bill. Sales person there said you could add MFT aftermarket to the V6 Mustang. Bigger image.

Im getting the park assist for the corners of the car. Camera covers the direct.

Congrats Zack! Beautiful ride and great review! I think I might have to buy one in a couple of years when my GT is paid off. I hope Ford continues to make them.

Wow, that would be a god send! Fingers crossed it's do-able!

Yah I hope so also. If I can find out certain things are doable (MFT, front seats and toggles), I'd get the V6 over the GT. The GT is overkill for me but right now it's my 1st choice but I'm hoping Ford changes some available options on the V6.

Ditto. Don't know why the V6, which was the second coming in 2011, is now the bastard child.

I do believe I sat in your car first :-) I got a phone call the second your car came to Upper Marlboro. I was so anxious to see a 2015, that I pretty much immediately drove up there to see it inside and out. Congrats on your purchase! I'd be ordering my 2015 right now if I wasn't about to be purchasing a new house in the next few months. It's a beauty!

Blame the EPA, more specifically CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy). Gas mileage has become the Holy Grail for auto manufacturers.

Haha! They said they had someone come and look at the car before I got there! Said that the customer was more interested in the GT's though. That must have been you!

Out of curiosity, how does your 2015 sound compared to the 2014 during normal driving? I'm under the impression from your videos that it would be quieter?

Zack, when you hit the traction control button, are there different modes, or is it just an on/off switch? I was hoping it would still have a sport mode or something for the stability and traction systems.

What happened to the toggle switches? Is it not on V6?

Not on any of the base cars. Only premium versions of the EB and GT. If you look at his interior pics on the first page you'll see there are no toggle switches, just a traction control off button and a button for different steering modes. That's why I'm curious to see if he has different traction and stability settings or if it's just an on/off switch.

Supposedly you can make all 4 drive modes on the base by turning things on/off via the TC button, picking a steering mode via the button (3 steering modes) and also if you have the Sport+ Auto transmission. The toggles just do it for you in 1 click. If you have the base, you have to do it manually.

So supposedly Sport+ mode on the toggle would basically put the steering in sport, the auto trans in Sport+ mode and most likely turn TC on with one flip of the toggle where on the base you'd have to engage all 3 yourself.

I know there is also a Snow mode on the premium models available with the toggle buttons - is this mode still on the base v6?
