Ford Mustang GT
 |
One of the Mustang's selling points continues to be its handsome, retro-themed exterior, which was recently reworked with a more aggressive nose inspired by the fire-breathing GT500. Other notable aspects of last year's update include standard HID headlights and trick tripartite sequential LED taillights.
Power is sourced from a 3.7-liter V6 that produces a healthy 305 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. That output, which is channeled to the rear wheels through the buyer's choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, is sufficient to scoot stick-shifted Mustangs from zero-to-60 mph in just over five seconds.
Fuel economy is rated at 19 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with the automatic, while opting for the manual dings highway mileage by two mpg.
Though it still makes use of an archaic live rear axle, the Mustang is commendably capable on curvy roads, especially when equipped with an available V6 Performance Package that adds a host of chassis upgrades and further livens up the driving experience. The firmness of the electric steering assist can be toggled between Comfort, Standard and Sport settings to better suit laid-back cruising or spirited canyon carving.
