I dont know if its because I dont currently own a mustang but that EB felt VERY quick. I have been driving modern V6's in wait of my order and I have spent over a week with the S197 3.7 and this EB feels quicker. Love the boost!

Yea, I was very surprised, especially with how I've read a lot of complaints on the weight. The seat are a big improvement as well, they hug you very nicely, almost in league with the Recaro's in the ST.

What a disappointment that the GT was'nt available for a test drive, its the only model I'm considering. Reading through these forums is it because of the recalls? I read one post where the dealers were pushing the vehicles around the yard rather than starting them? What about the delays in delivery?

yea I was bummed about no GT's too, but it could have easily been a logistics thing

Only GT ride alongs were available and only at some locations. So a real test drive was never in the cards for the Mustang Bucket List. It was/is nothing more than a promotional, advertising event.

I went to the Tyson's Corner Mustang event. I liked everything about the new mustang...the design, the refined interior and the technology inside. However, the drive was extremely SHORT. I don't think it was enough for an impression. I was disappointed.

Compared to my 05' V6, the ecoboost was really quiet even when I gunned it from stop. The 05 is the only car I've ever had so I'm not going to be used to another car. I really need to drive this longer to be satisfied. The brake sensitivity was SUPER sensitive compared to my 05. It made me feel like a 16 year old all over again. That was bothering me the whole time. I couldn't really focus on anything else.

While I was inspecting the interior, dark saddle matches really well with guard. I saw the soft touch was on the door even though it wasn't premier trim. It wasn't color matching though, just black. I'm confused about this, what's the difference between the premier trim and standard leather? I actually really like dark saddle. But I also really like the redline they had on the black mustang.

I'm a young guy who's only had one car the 05 V6. I am in the market for a new car but nervous about change and adjustment. So used to what I have. The nose feels longer and wider. All the buttons in the car were overwhelming and overkill even though i like technology. I think I have been looking at these forums too much because the observations about the driving and sound were disappointments. I have to agree. It was too quiet. I wouldn't be able to tell how fast I get up to speed.

Too bad, I don't have the money for a GT. Too bad, the V6 doesn't get any of the nice premium stuff.

Well the best thing to do is write Ford at their Twitter and Mustang Twitter and voice your view that the V6 should have premium features.

I actually went over and saw a V6 today at DarCars (didn't have time to drive it). Ruby Red was gorgeous (looks better in the sun). V6 sounds nice inside and outside. I wouldn't buy an EB till you drive the current V6. Last thing you want is a regretful buy.

You can also go to the V6 forums and upvote the Ford Social post for trying to get more options on the V6.
