I have been a member for a little while. Not too long. I just wanted to say hello to everyone else since I only frequent the sub sections of interest.
I will say first and foremost that I am not a Ford guy. In fact, I don't like Ford. Never have. However, the new Mustang look had appealed to me. It has a very mature look and sleek lines. Photos made me laugh at the car. Won't lie. But, seeing it in person made me change my opinion.
I've always been impartial to Chevys. Still am. In fact I was going to wait for the 2016 Camaro. But, after owning two 5th Camaros... The new Camaro while fast as hell... Was more of the same "appearance" wise. ...and sadly Chevy can't seem to make the back end look right after the 2010-13 models. The new back end looks like butchered Corvette lights with a Malibu end. Horrible.
I won't lie, I would be lying if I said at some point I will buy another Camaro.
With that said, this is my first Mustang ever. Never thought I would. I test drove the 2016 models. The two I debated with was the GT and the Ecoboost. The V6 was of no interest. I went with the Ecoboost... And after owning V8s... I had to think if I truly ever felt the pay of it was justified. Not really. The Ecoboost test drive left me intrigued. It felt great driving it and handled turns much better than V8. Maybe due to less weight. Plus, the platform has so much potential for exciting mods down the road. Only thing I dislike? The sound note. Even if it is a four banger turbo... Other manufacturers had been more than capable of producing an excellent note. Ford failed in this department.
Also, the build quality inside the car is iffy when compared to Chevy. While the outside is beautiful, the interior is nice, but it has squeaks and if you pay attention to certain areas it has flexing in the areas such as the center console if touched. My Camaros never had these issues. Also, Camaros are very much driver focused with interior design unlike the Mustang.
All in all... The Mustang has been a delight to drive. My roommate has an FRS and I turn corners with ease when we cruise together. I have had fun spirited runs with a Corvette and newer Challenger model. I'm pleased with the performance. My 0-60 no mods or tune was 5.1. Not too shabby.
As of now, overall - I am a pleased Mustang owner.
One of my 5th Gen Camaros. All work done by SLP.
My 2016 Ecoboost Mustang
Driving over 85mpg from Tucson to Flagstaff. Mileage over 35mpg. Impressive.
