2010 Ford Mustang V6 Review

[ciboalien]

ok here's why ppl call american cars are stupid and never buy one. 4.0 liter v6 produce only 210hp??? and gives me 16/24mpg??? r u kidding me??

[ksa111ksa]

Im from saudi arabiah please let me know. If still. There that mustang And please Let me know here

Aabarqi@yahoo.co.uk

[whiteribbonman1]

Does ANYONE know why Ford won't add more leg room in the back?!! I would like to buy a V6 Mustang when I can afford a newer car but both of my sons are 6 ft so someone would suffer. I really like Mustangs but so far I will be buying a Focus or Fusion Hybrid thanks to the leg room issue.

[sprinkler5802]

that motors junk

[crimsoninred]

you think this car will fare good in the snow? with the added weight in the back and 4 winter tires with studs

[Orbot]

I found a place VERY near where I live, that has a 2010 mustang (non-convertible) for $13,995.......pretty good, and I think i may just go for it!

[imadreamer716]

Dan, do you think fords are getting more reliable as we go into the future? Just because I know that fords are well known for their bad transmissions, as well as a host of other issues. Thought you might have a good word on this.

[mpgomatic]

@imadreamer716 Cars in general have become much more reliable. Best place to check for that type of information is Consumer Reports or TrueDelta.

[thamoja]

can you review a 2011 or 2012, their engines have a lot more power i would like to see how they stack up to the camaro and challenger, on paper the both the v8 and v6 stang wins on all fronts.

[mpgomatic]

@thamoja I've been trying to snag a current Mustang for quite a while. Fingers crossed, we'll see one in the spring.

[Bzapp725]

How come you did'nt get in back of the camaro??

[mpgomatic]

@Bzapp725 There's a 2012 Camaro convertible in the driveway right now. I'll see if I can fit in the back seat tomorrow.

[Bzapp725]

@mpgomatic Just wondering if you are going to upload the camaro convertible review. Cant wait!

[mpgomatic]

@Bzapp725 It'll be a while ... just back from SEMA and I have a stack of tape to work through.

[chinchillawrangler]

are seat adjuster buttons the same as the power window buttons from older ford trucks??

[nynascarkid]

@chinchillawrangler thats the lumbar support

[chinchillawrangler]

@nynascarkid no look at 2:16....see how it looks exactly like the power windows buttons from the late 90's and early 2000's ford trucks

[creamyfilling102]

say what you want about the outdated weak 4.0, but by golly it;s a reliable proven engine with simple technology. less shit to go wrong.

[MicroOrginisum]

@creamyfilling102 the 4.0 is probably the most reliable v6 i nhistory.

[FreakyKing2]

Its amazing! the 2010 v6 gets worse gas mileage than than the 2011 GT, and the GT has 200 more horsepower!!

[EFIL4NAISREP]

Don't buy the 2010. Go for the 2011 and enjoy 19/31

[MegaDeathwarrant]

challenger does beat the mustang it has been proven but still want it.

[MaddDogg81]

16mpg is horrible

[lolialmostskate]

lmfao at 1:21 it looks like the car is sliding on the wheels

[MootPoon817]

aint no person sittin in the backseat, just me and mah bitch in the front

[TheVtieg6]

I feel sorry for the people who bought a 2010 version instead of waiting for the 2011 305bhp version

[TheWarHorsie]

@TheVtieg6 Don't be sorry for them. People who want the HP go for the V8s and those who want to cruise go for the V6s. The 210 hp 4.0s have more than enough power to getthe car moving. Peeps act as tho these 4.0 V6s are weak motors which they are not. My 2010 vert is more than capable, plus the better gas mileage and cheaper insurance is nice.

[Fussinated]

Venisons trying to figure out whether this convertible is wrecked or they can wreck it for free.

[creamyfilling102]

i'm curious to see how these new 3.7 engines hold up...pumping 300 horse out of a smaller engine might not be good for trying to get 200,000 miles out of the engine. that 4.0 is a good proven reliable engine that's for damn sure.

[eleanor202]

this is a great review it helped me alot on my choice to buy a 07 convertible mustang.

[4freexboxlive]

the 2011 mustang is much better than the 2010 please review one soon!

[pzipischiquo]

I HATE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION!

[patch9894]

he says 210 horsepower... pretty sure its 310?

[xitup1]

@patch9894 ummm nope...its 210.

[Artyfil]

@patch9894

the 2010 model put out 210 hp... the 2011 (which looks almost identical) has the new V6 putting out over 300 hp.

[ruunit]

@Artyfil not to mention the v6 in the 2011 mustang is actually smaller, and gets better gas mileage. WTF was Ford doing before 2011?.

[condorlacey65]

@Artyfil Yeah and the thing I love about the 2011 that looks(and sounds) different than the 2010 are the duel pipes coming out of the back!

[heartlessvietboy]

Mustang's are the best. 

[jimimmm]

210 hp. lame.

[Ambition42]

My dad just gave me one. Hows the 0-60 and the Quarter mile run???

[5acr3dn1ne]

hey guys i have one of these. does anyone know the 0-60 time for the v6?

[plksnatchers]

can it beat a challenger

[SuperStuffforsale]

@plksnatchers it can beat the v6 challenger but thats the only one because its lighter

[blackice228]

@plksnatchers yupp, easy

[MrYonkocostelloinsac]

Cool video

[Ladon68]

@20Torrent08GXP Yup, 305hp. finally ford doesn't use the outdated v6 engine anymore.

[MikeReiner]

Any luck getting your hands on a 2011 V6 for review yet?

[gasflame62]

I didint like the deign before, but now that you have reviewed it, i want one, why drive a v8 when you, can take it easy in this one?

[mpgomatic]

@gasflame62 The engine in the new 2011 V6 Mustang is a huge improvement over the previous years. I've spent a few hours behind the wheel of a few of them, but need to get one out here for a week to shoot a proper review.

[nightxhawk95]

@mpgomatic hey which do u recomend 2010 or 11 cuz some ppl are saying the 2011 v6 aint as good as 2010 cuz it has too much hp for a v6 and that might hurt the engine. also, is this good fuel efficiency wise?

[mpgomatic]

@nightxhawk95 I would go for the '11 over the '10, hand down. The '11 does quite well in the MPG department, considering how fast it is ...

[JobeMinacum]

@mpgomatic I'd stay away from ANY 11' mustang, considering the transmission problems they're having. I know someone with a Blue 2011 V6, and he's on his 3rd transmission within 10k miles.

[MicroOrginisum]

@nightxhawk95 3.5 does have alot of power and mileage, but the 4.0 is basically bulletproof, and is a great engine.

[ninjakid164]

i have the v6 premium version

[ruunit]

wait isn't it a 3.8, not a 4.0?

[kolbpilot]

I haven't had a new car in so long it's hard to remember. I average about 15 yrs. old. Still I like 'em all. Gotta love the new electronic doo dahs of today, with the whole tachometer turning red at redline. (1:13).

[leaf16nut]

My 2008 V6 Mustang convertible is alright, but there isn't enough balls in the 2010 and below mustangs [V6]

But I'm jealous of the little things on the 2010 v6, the red line meter, speedometer and tachometer go full and back when you start it, much nicer than in my car

:(

Oh well V8 here I come!

[madden903]

Woah, how do you make the RPM Gauge change red when you shift? Mine doesn't do that.. I have the MyColor thing and I can't find out how to do that.

[wirayut123]

American car FTW, doesn't matter if its 2010 camaro or mustang :D. Worth the money now aday.

[wirayut123]

its soo much lighter why would fuel economy is so bad? my Camaro v6 get 29 on high way. Is it because 4.0 Liter engine? don't know much about car XD

[Yonsen8]

Keep a feather foot and the 4.0 can even hit 32.5 Highway. Done it. Not a fun engine, but pretty sturdy!

[Arsenaloid]

The difference between Mustang and other is : Everybody Wants To Have A Mustang ...e v e r y b o d y . RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i love it

[DualofChaos]

I like how it turns red when you reach redline. THATS REALLY COOL. I bet your $70,000 BMW cant do that.

[krudco2001]

I actually just bought the convertible, nice review thanks!

[wonderbreadkw]

i dont mind the back seat. my friend is 6 foot 6 and he fir comfortably. in my 07 pony

[Wonder184]

How much gas consumption does have that AWESOME car ?

[guitarsnowmobiler]

in the 2011 Ti-ViT or whatever, what is the V8 horsepower?

[Yonsen8]

@guitarsnowmobiler  412hp/390tq at the flywheel.

[kenneykole]

Big person sits front and small or kid sits in back.

[bkvintagecorp]

i thought the 2010 mustang had 300 hp

[abram7117]

@bkvintagecorp no these 2010 have the old low tech 4.0's {making a lousy 210 HP} the 2011 have the 3.7

[kenneykole]

@abram7117

In 2011, will have 300 hp. 3.7L V6.

Also in GT version will have 5.0L V8 410+ hp.

[wonderbreadkw]

@bkvintagecorp no. once the v6 camora came out with 300hp ford had competition so they uped the v6 mustang also. but because of it the price is about 6 to 9 grand more depending on the package of the v6

[rushnut1958]

I bought one. So far, so good

[MrMigootwo]

THis is my dream car! no... actually I want to get a Lamborghini, but this car is still sweet!

[CobraPS3]

they need to take the front seat release off the back of the seats, looks horrible w/that leather

[KingMacintosh]

Thanks for the review (1:10 - 1:16) I don't like how when it's gets to the 6-7 how it gets red. I think I'd find that distracting, even just from the corner of my eye.

[rockpaintballer92]

@KingMacintosh i know this one was automatic but some people that get the manual version of this car may not have driven a manual before and i guess need help shifting....idk. only reason i can think of why Ford would do that

[IMediaCorp]

good reviwe!!

[5959512]

that engines a joke

[CobraPS3]

i have a 3.0 V6 Camry 2002 i think it is like 192hp... i love mustang true to heart, had one..next car will b a mustang, but to c this 2010 a 4.0L with only 210hp and 16mpg is beyond sad, more than excited for the 2011 3.7L 305hp..its how it should've been...

[KarlT01]

Yes, but that 4.0L makes lots of torque...

[mboboo]

I'v just dreamed this car.

[lolz2561]

Thank you for this review sir. Why can't other people make them thorough like this?

[mpgomatic]

Thanks for the kind words, Lolz2561! =)

[lolz2561]

@mpgomatic absolutely!

[74camarolt]

Oh my god, it's better than the competition because it has a smaller turning radius! Why didn't I buy this muscle car instead of my Camaro? Damn...

[pantstofry]

or because its not a brick and cheaper

[BlackTransAmdude]

screw the 2010 it's all about the 2011 new motors and new beginnings

[matrixlone]

i havent seen thoses are there any vids ima check

[matrixlone]

shit the 010s just came out and now the 011s damn

[FordNissanChevy]

I thought it was a pushrod v6.

[Biojack]

Nice car, I spent lots of time testing this and the 2010 Camaro, and i was very open minded. To summarize the high points and best perfomer in each area:

Performance - Camaro (by Far), Handling - mustang (close), Comfort and roominess for driver - Camaro, comfort/roominess for everyone else - mustang, exterior apperance - Camaro, gas mileage - Camaro. The gap in performance was the main factor, Camaro was just head and shoulders above..and handling was very close

[MrCF545]

great car

[hankmiestro]

no sense getting a muscle car with a v6, id get a v8 with no option than a fully loaded v6.

[zeal117]

I can't wait until you can review the 2011 3.7l V6 Mustang which is supposed to have 30mpg with 305hp.=}

[mpgomatic]

Me either! =)

[ericsyutubeaccount]

a 3.7 v6? thats disapointing...

[DrDodge24]

Dan You Must Have The Best Job

[mpgomatic]

It's not a job. It's a calling ... not exactly what to call it, though ... :)

[tven99]

i want to buy this car but no offense, my 2.5 toyota pumps out 216bhp, but i'm planning on moving to us, and buying this.

[volker185]

There is talk of the Mustang getting the twin turbo v6 Taurus Show engine for 2011.

[killercan10]

ahem...its SHO, not SHOW...

[volker185]

I know, just printing too fast.

[volker185]

I just bought a 2010 vl conv. last month. Love it. Only thing I wish is I would have got the automatic seats. My last two cars had them. But what the h----!

[SupercarsReporter]

well i got a 2005 but not a difference in performence right?

[EatmyDust1311]

the 2010 is much more refined,better handling,better gas mileage,better fit n finish, whole new car

[KiranStevens]

This was a very good review. Motor trend take notice.

[2k5mike]

@KiranStevens and cars.com, there worse

[Felyxorez]

great review, very interesting for me as German.

Fuel is so expensive here, about 8 $ the gallon.

by the way, how "cheap" is in in the USA atm ?

[Chris08TT]

3.09 for super and that in ny

[EatmyDust1311]

2.15 avg per gal of regular, varies. gasis prob so much in germany cuz everyone blasts around the autbahn at 150 mph getting 4 mpg :) lucky ******s

[P3DR1N1]

hey men great video i got a question do you modify the motor or smthing??

[mpgomatic]

Unless otherwise noted, all of our review cars are equipped with factory stock motors.

[telj1]

ECO boost, yes!

[bg1379]

This isn't Ecoboost, Ecoboost involves turbocharging.

[telj1]

Yes I know that....... I was speaking for the future as the guy referred to on the video.

[bg1379]

Oh, sorry. My bad.

[vanquishman]

i like how it blinks red when it shifts

[megafortress84]

Also, the Pony Package has the cool-looking stripes on the doors

[megafortress84]

This has definitely cemented my goal of saving up for a 2010 Pony V6 convertible. Initially, I wanted to get an '05-'09 GT, but not anymore. I don't NEED a V8 (nor do I want one; touch the gas pedal, and you're at your destination!).

[hankmiestro]

omg get the v8! sooooo much cooler if moneys an issue just get a v8 thats like a year or 2 old rather than a new v6

[auxmike]

Fantastic review as usual. You have a great voice too. I don't like Fords, but that leather looks top notch and I love that it's NOT black or grey!

[bg1379]

Can you turn off the sequential rear turn signals?? They drive me insane when I'm following someone with them.

[hankmiestro]

i think there cool haha

[utubeyaw]

it sucks to live in New York City, no matter how light you are on the pedals, you can reach epa estimates.too much traffic here.good work on beating epa numbers.

[lovecars890]

Have you guys ever tested the Mercedes Benz CL550?? My favorite car.

[hankmiestro]

nah i drive an 2008 s550 all the time they are somewhat similar tho.FAST cars tho

[thatfatboiforu]

whoa dude i'm the second person to watch this. Nice vid man. Gotta love the stang but I've never thought of it as a gas sipper. Fun as hell with a manual though.

[mpgomatic]

I'm hoping to get the chance to test the V6 manual, one of these days ... not to mention the V8s ... =) It's all in the way you drive it ...

[musthavejava]

Good review as always. I know a lot of enthusiasts like the new Camaro better, but this pony feels like leather gloves you can't do without! Heck, even the deer seem to approve @ 1:44!

[mpgomatic]

Thanks, MHJ! The deer love to watch when I shoot video on that road and I need to watch them, too... not the smartest animals on the planet. :) There can be as many as fifty of the critters spread out across the fields.

The 2010 Mustang V6 isn't as fast as the Camaro V6, no doubt about that. But I'd have to give it the edge when it comes to handling. I love 'em all ...
