2015 Ford Mustang | Consumer Guide Auto

2015 Ford Mustang coupe

Pros: Handling and interior quality are much improved over outgoing model; invigorating performance of GT’s V8; surprisingly robust 4-cylinder engine option

Cons: Cramped, difficult-to-access back seat; some complicated controls; still a bit heavy; topline models get pricey

CG Says: Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the original “pony car” for 2015 with a redesigned, sixth-generation Mustang. Highlights of the new model include rakish new styling, an independent rear suspension (a first for a mainstream production Mustang), and a peppy new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine option. Every engine in the model lineup produces more than 300 horsepower, so any model delivers satisfying acceleration. The long-awaited 2015 Mustang should more than satisfy both diehard enthusiasts and casual buyers who want a sporty, fun-to-drive coupe. The new car rectifies the primary shortcomings of its predecessor (a so-so interior and archaic solid rear axle) and adds welcome technology features, all while retaining the fun-to-drive personality and familiar styling cues that make a Mustang a Mustang.
