    2013 Gt Price Comparisons

    Need more information. What is the sticker on the car (I'm assuming its roughly $34K given your equipment list). And what is the dealer's price before tax, title, license, and other fees. That number will make a comparison easier, since everything that gets added on after can vary quite a bit...

    Engine Coyote 5.0 Engine Issues

    The secondary issues sound like the dealer didn't put all the sensors, and wires, and stuff back on right. On the bright side, they are covering it. Be polite and patient with them, because given that your engine failed because you ran it out of oil, they very easily could have denied a...

    Whats Best Oil To Run,whats Ya Opinion

    For now, I use Mobil 1 in my Mustang. I've used Quaker State Q off and on in my daily driver when its on sale. I've noticed that it uses less oil on Q than when using conventional.

    2011- Current V6 Mustang Good First Car?

    Mustang is definitely a level up than the other cars you listed. It can be a good daily driver, as long as you have something else to drive when it snows, and when you need to carry more than 2 people. The back seat in them are tight. Impreza Hatch would be practical and good in snow, but...

    7 Weeks And I Am Still Waiting For My Mustang. :(

    I know exactly how you feel. I ordered my 2011 in late June 2010. It wasn't built until September 21. I didn't get it until October 25. I think the dealer had a bit of an allotment issue, and there where transportation issues at the time as well (It sat on a lot in Chicago for almost 4...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    I think I set the mileage benchmark that no one will be able to beat. Last week, commuting, almost all highway, my 2011 GT 5.0 got 31.0 MPG on a tank. I have a fuel mileage friendly commute, and a fairly calm driving style (regardless of what I drive), but I was still amazed I was able to...

    New Mustang Owner

    I wouldn't sweat not having an extended warranty. Most of what Ford has been building lately holds up pretty well. My brother has an 06 Mustang with over 100,000 miles on it, and it has not had a single problem yet, not even a minor one.

    New Mustang Owner

    I'd let the oil change go a bit longer. On my GT, I did the first one at about 3300 miles (which was after a year...I don't drive mine as much as you:)). I remember a couple years ago, there was some kind of issue with the engines developing a tick if the first oil change was done early before...

    Why Did Ford Not Use The Tr6060

    I'm not thrilled about the made in China transmission either, but as others have already said, the actual failure rate a pretty low. Go to a Camaro forum, and you'll find a similar number of complaints for similar issues with the TR6060.

    2013 Mustang Gt Redline Engine Cuts Out @ 6500rpm

    I'm not sure where the red line is painted on the 2013s with the slightly different gauge design, but on my 2011, the red-line actually begins a little before 7000 (though higher than 6500). I read somewhere that it has a "soft" limiter (partially cuts) at 6700, and completely cuts out at 7000...

    2013 Leasing Question

    Unless the leasing company in incompetent, a lease will always be more expensive. The lease will always cost you more than the car will depreciate, because the leasing company is for profit, not charity. I understand the lease may have a lower payment, but that doesn't make it cheaper. A lot...

    2013 Leasing Question

    I would never lease a car. That is the single most expensive possible way to acquire it. But if you insist on doing it, unless the price is agreed upon in writing, it can change. I can't imagine it could change a lot in just 6-8 weeks, but it could change some. You may want to make sure 6-8...

    Okay Question.do I Run Car Down Strip With Trac Control On Or Off?

    Depends on what kind of driver you are. If you know what you are doing, having it off could get you a little better launch. After that, I don't think it matters with an automatic.

    Buying Used '11 V6 Perf Pkg W/sync - What To Get?

    There is a way to register your SYNC online for various features like turn by turn directions, service messages, etc....Not sure if that is password protected, or anything like that since I didn't and probably never will do any of that. Another thing you might need is the ESN# for the...

    2012 GT - TracKey

    I thought the powertrain warranty was 5 year/60,000 miles. Is the Boss different?

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    There is more ethanol in gas now than there was in 2006. That makes a big mileage difference. If you can find ethanol free fuel anywhere, use it. Where I live, it costs about 10-15 cents a gallon more, but I come out way head in the mileage increase. You might come up a little with summer blend...

    Wow Article On Yahoo Says 2013 Mustang Handles Bad!!????

    I just did a little research. Actually, Ford redid a whole lot of stuff to make it handle better. Remember the Track Pack in 2010? The suspension bits from that were made standard equipment on the 2011 GT. Compared to the 05-09s, the 2011+ GTs have stiffer springs and dampers, a strut tower...

    Oil life monitor seems off

    Does anyone know exactly how the oil life monitor figures oil life on these cars, because I can't make sense of it. I got my 2011 GT in October of 2010. A month later, I put it into storage, and got it out again in the spring. I didn't drive it a whole lot last summer. By October 2011, I had...
