    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    You may want to have it examined anyhow. I am sure I made it clear the car was not bought for me. Rather she bought it for herself, I just figured I would love driving as well since it is a Mustang. And yes you can sell a car that you lease. You need to pay off the lease that's all.

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    And that only proves that I thought it would great car before I actually had to drive it everyday. My wife on the other hand does not mind driving it as long as it is for a short trip (errand running). Ohter than that she agrees that the car is useless. It does make a nice lawn ornament on...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    She drove it and said she looked great in it so it would be great for her. I asked her how it drove and she said I don't know but the radio sounds ok and the dash changes colors :rolleyes: Well if that is the car you want go ahead I said. I saw no need to drive it since it was a 2006 Mustang...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    Wow you guys have some serious issues in how you deal with shortcomings. I guess when there is no way to back up the car you love you resort to humor. I guess if it works for you that's great. Believe me I am just as dissappointed as you all are. I had this idea that she would buy the...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    I really am not the sports car type. I just can't see being confined and uncomfortable just to try and look cool. At the strip the Mustang may be quicker but in the real world the Maxx has usable power when you need it. Plus it is far more nimble and driveable than the Mustang. At the track...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    No hybrids for me. Makes no sense. Why spend thousands extra for the hybrid when you can get a Corolla or a Civic that get almost the same mileage for much less up front. Plus there won't be unforseen expenses for things like battery packs down the road. Marketing deserves a pat on the back for...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    Well as I said, I do love how the car looks. The other nice thing is that there is no torque steer. Of course there is no wheelspin even since it is only the V6. The brakes seem to work ok as well. Other than that what is there to like? The radio, seats, interior space, suspension tuning...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    This has nothing to do with V6 Mustangs. All the 05-06 Mustangs around here in both V8 and V6 are driven by middle age 30-60yr old women. 05 Camaro? Hmmm............ yea, that would have been perfect. I could imagine it right now. Oh wait you were trying to be a joker right? And too...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    Well I can assure you it is not my car. She picked it out for herself. I have just been the one stuck driving it lately. As such I have been trying to figure out why people love this car so much. She was a little hesitant to get it since every 05-06 Mustang you see one the road is driven by a...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    I have no idea why she bought it. I was voting for the 06 Civic with 30/40 fuel mileage. And great interior space. In terms of the Daddy's money I am refering to 1988-1992 back when I was young and street racing all the time. It may be as simple as the solid rear axle but it seams like more of...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    I should have bought that Roadmaster wagon with the LT1 last year. Woodgrain and all. I wouold have stripped the woodgrain and repainted the car since I run a bodyshop.

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    I don't think I will ever get past the claustrophobic (sp?) size. I have always owned upright sedans with normal rooflilnes or trucks. Sports cars just make me feel too confined. I guess I will never understand how people can be so cramped just so they can sit in a car that looks good. Of...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    Nope it is not Auto. 5spd manual that refuses to downshift into second if the car is rolling at all. I wish we could find someone to take the lease over.

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    Nope didn't drive it. Took the word of the people from Hogback road (Car and Driver) that it was a great car. No bull**** on the fuel mileage at all. I have checked it several times and the also have the trip computer. Basically the car sucks in the fuel mileage department. Maybe it is...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    I have loved the new Mustang since the first I started reading about the new car. I wanted to love it as much as many of you all do. The Malibu Maxx we bought for utility and I fully expected to hate it. I let my wife pick out the vehicles since they are not that important to me anymore. So...

    Why should I love the new Mustang?

    My wife bought the new 2006 Mustang V6 5spd with Pony pkg. Now I will admit the car is a beautiful car but that is where it ends for me. I have been driving the car all week this week since I think she may be getting sick of it as well. She said it was easier to use our Malibu Maxx with all the...

    Just picked up 2006 V6 5spd w/pony package

    Really have not given it much thought. This was a spur of the moment decision. My wife drove by the dealer and saw it. We decided to get it the next day. Wheels tires and suspension seem fine. Performance is not bad considering we have no intentions of racing with it. Plus we leased it so we...

    Just picked up 2006 V6 5spd w/pony package

    Pics: 2006 V6 5spd w/pony package Love this car. Here are a bunch of pics. I was very happy to find out it uses the GT suspension. So far I have found two flaws. There is something rolling around inside the steering wheel. Maybe under the spoke covers or the airbag module. Second is the right...
