2012 Ford Mustang Overview

Vehicle Overview
Ford has evolved its rear-drive four-seat Mustang pony car in recent years by blending retro and modern styling cues. For 2011, it boosted performance and fuel economy with a new 3.7-liter V-6 engine for the base Mustang and a new 5.0-liter V-8 for the GT. Playing on the retro theme, the Mustang lineup includes the high-performance Shelby GT500 and, new for 2012, the limited-production Boss 302.

Mustang continues in coupe and convertible body styles, and its primary competitors include the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

New for 2012
In addition to the new Boss 302, the 2012 Mustang is available with a new selectable steering system that lets the driver choose from three levels of power-steering assist.

Exterior
Recent styling changes give the Mustang a more modern, less retro appearance. It still features a forward-swept grille, but it has a compressed look and a power-dome hood. GT models have a small but significant styling feature: 5.0 badges on the front quarter-panels. Exterior features include:

Progressively illuminating LED taillights
Standard 17-inch aluminum wheels
Available 18- and 19-inch rims
Available high-intensity-discharge headlamps

Interior
The Mustang's cabin uses premium materials, including a soft-touch dashboard surface, a change made for the 2010 model year when it was significantly updated. Interior features include:

Retro gauges
Standard air conditioning
Standard CD stereo with MP3 jack
Standard cruise control
Available 8-inch touch-screen navigation system with Sirius Travel Link

Under the Hood
The Mustang is offered with V-6 or V-8 power, and both engines were new for 2011. Each engine can run on regular gas, though the V-8 will see a slight drop in output; it requires premium gas for maximum performance. The engines drive the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Mechanical features include:

305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 with 280 pounds-feet of torque
412-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 with 390 pounds-feet of torque
Available Mayhem Mustang Package for V-6 models features a 3.31 rear axle ratio, firmer suspension tuning, 19-inch wheels and performance tires, a strut tower brace and a Sport mode for the stability system
A Brembo-brand brake kit is available for GT models that features 14-inch front discs and 19-inch wheels with performance tires

Safety
Standard safety features include:

Electronic stability system
Front-seat side-impact airbags with head-protection extension
Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes

Yes, my 2012 Mustang bought on 3/3/12 is a "senior muscle car" because I am 70 and my great muscle car is only a V-6, yet it has plenty of umfff.

I would recommend this vehicle to a friend: YES
