One Year Reviews-post 'em

Glad some of you don't have rattles.

I have my doubts. My car was rattle free for a good amount of time. After a few thousand miles and crappy roads the rattles are real. That's like someone saying their stock MT82 doesn't make any noises.

I have had 11 Mustangs. 10 V8's and 1 turbo 4 cyl (1985.5 SVO). This one is by far the best, EVER. Ford truly hit it out of the park with this thing. The style of the body is just perfect in my eyes. Every day I walk into my garage and see it sitting there, it just brings a big smile to my face.

The brakes are amazing on the GTPP. With my aftermarket suspension mods (Steeda), the handling and control of the car goes up 2-3 levels over stock. My fit and finish is about perfect. You will truly love your car.

OK, you just amped up my anticipation

My car will be a convertible GT with the PP. I couldn't pass on getting a manual for our "fun" car, and even with this being more of a cruiser than a track car, the PP just offered so much (and I figured if you option a manual, why not).

I also happen to love the GTPP wheels and dash setup, so for even just the cosmetic changes, it's not a bad deal. I think the manual with the 3:73s is going to be a _hoot_ around town

My original order was to be a 2015 Mustang GT PP Convertible but we all know that was not an option.

I am jealous that you all can get the PP in the verts now. REALLY jealous

I'm closing in on 14 thousand miles and this has been my favorite car I've ever owned (it's my eighth).

Rattle free so far, plenty of room for the dog, and as fast as I need and then some. Plus, it still holds my eye which says a lot for me - I've never owned a car longer than 22 months. She's a keeper for sure.

Also, the clear bra was a must have. I don't think I'll ever go without one again.

I love the car. I have a little over 10k miles on it now in 10 months of ownership (as of today actually).

It has a few rattles now that it is getting colder outside, and they are genuinely pissing me off. I think one is in the passenger side window regulator assembly. It's something internal to the door and not the door panel, that much I know for sure. I fixed the headlight switch rattle a while ago.

The MT82 still sucks, but now I have a throwout bearing whine. Havent been to the dealer for it yet. It's not super loud, but I hear it when the windows are down.

I took it to the dealership for the known ecoboost smoking issue (at 2k miles), Ford refused to authorize any repairs until they had a permanent fix. I've just dealt with it.

But the most important thing I have to say... I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I didn't experience this. Same location. Also DD. Do you garage the car?

Garage and baby it!

Glad some of you don't have rattles. The panel on the drivers side of the dash under the A/C vent drives me insane! I pull out on it a little and it stops for a short time. I'm about to rip it off and chuck it out the window one of these days... Mine isn't a daily and only has 3600 on it but only had it since April '15

I've got Headlight Knob, Glove Box, and rear window rattle/squeaks. Its going to be a long day for a dealership tech very soon.

I will be a year in about two weeks. I'll be at just under 12,000 miles. My car has been excellent. It's a non-PP so I had the squealing brakes, which Ford fixed. I am not thrilled with the seat coolers, and have chosen to wait for TSB 2.0 on that subject, if it ever comes out. If not, I will live with it. I have a tiny little intermittent rattle in the headlight switch, which I can get to stop for a week or so by pressing on that panel.

Other than that, this Mustang (my 7th) has been and continues to be outstanding. I love driving it, I love sitting in it. It's so upscale inside, downright luxurious even compared with the Lincoln that came before it. It would corner harder on better tires, but the handling balance is very good, just very light understeer and the rear is much more inclined to stay in the rear than my other Mustangs. I like that.

Sync has worked out for me. I was scared to order it, but wanted the premium interior and took a chance. Nav is useful and voice control works well on Nav and sorta OK on sound system and HVAC. But the controls are responsive and reasonably intuitive. The automatic temp control is the best (smartest) I have ever had; it doesn't blast hot air in my face on cool mornings and doesn't insist on running the AC on max all the time in the summer.

My paint has been pretty good. Just a few rock chips in the front, and the shine really came up when I clay-barred and polished the car for the first time. The windshield must be made from spun sugar. I am on number 3, which is silly. Get $0 deductible comp insurance. It pays for itself.

I have a catback on order, hoping to get it in another couple of weeks or so. But even the stock exhaust is opening up a bit as time goes on. I can actually hear it out an open window now, LOL.

I agree with Todd15Fastback. I would buy this car again and again. The fact that the 2016 Camaro is a few ticks faster doesn't sway me a bit. I don't want a Camaro. I love my Mustang.

This is my 4th mustang and the best one yet. I'm closing in on eight months and 6600 miles. Runs flawlessly, no creaks and rattles aside from the drivers door panel (after the dealer replaced it when they damaged my old one replacing my dash) and aside from the replacement dash debacle it's awesome. I have a minor chip on the front bumper and a small dent (still can't understand how it got there) and minor curb damage on the front passenger wheel (I suck at parallel parking) the body is flawless. The turbo 4 runs smoothly and the MT82 isn't as bad as I expected to be. Just some notchiness in gears 1-3. If I were to buy my car again I would probably downgrade to base trim to keep costs down and go back to basics.

I have some rattles at 1500 miles and the glove box randomly opens itself.

Jealous of some of you with perfect cars

I will hit one year next month. Car just hit 10k. No issues whatsoever and every day I fall in love with my car more and more. Engine continues to delight me and the car just continues to bring a smile to my face. I am very happy!
