2011 Ford Mustang V6 - Quick Ride

http://MPGomatic.com takes a quick ride in a 2011 Ford Mustang V6. No voiceovers, just the growl of the new V6. It's an automatic. (Gotta run what they brung.) We'll beg for a manual car when we do a full test.

Well, it's been well over a year, I can only assume you didn't have any luck getting your hands on a 2011 'stang for review purposes.. maybe you'll get a chance with the '12 model, eh?

@MikeReiner Apologies for the delay! I'm trying to fit one into the fall schedule, every time I check they're booked. I'll keep at it. I had a '11 GT as a rental car for a couple of days last month when I was out in LA for X Games. It was awesome. If I had room in the garage and the $ to spare, I might just own one.

STOP BUYING THE MUSTANG IN AUTOMATIC, YOUR GIVING IT A BAD NAME.

@BAWLS2894 Hey, I didn't buy it, I just drove it. PS: there's a Caps Lock key at the left side of your keyboard. =)

They should take the shift paddles out of the taurus and put them in the mustang v6 auto. They might actually be used and appreciated.

@CarbineGuy I dont have any statistics, hence the "many". Just look for "MT-82" on youtube and google, you'll find many posts and quite a few horror stories.

hey how come after you reversed in the video the transmission looked like it wasnt going into gear so easly?

Just drove a rental '11 'stang from Hertz and it's a mixed bag. Off the line, not so quick and the engine bogged for some reason. Handling is nice, turning radius is insanely small. The car must have had the 2.73 axle, as the motor was only turning at 2k at 82mph! Got about 30 mpg on the freeway driving in CT, less when I got on it. On the highway, there is lots of pickup with the revs up and the 6-speed auto giving those revs up nicely. Interior is 100x better than the Camaro I tried first...

@mpgomatic You're correct the guys who shout the loudest can't even find a clutch .As I've said before many times- in cities these days a standard is a pain -- and with a coffee in hand you're screwed .

My choice would be a double clutch like in their Fiesta or Focus .with paddle snifters like the Taurus

What a sad decision to put it in a family car the best engine tranny package the turbo 6 with the good transmission ---- and I dont like the shape of that car Who the hell is responsible
