2010 Ford Mustang

Review

With all of the anticipation surrounding the new 2010 Ford Mustang, the most important question is does it stand up to the many expectations imposed on its arrival? There are many consumers who spent their time gawking at the aesthetics of the 2010 Ford Mustang while many others are skeptical of the ability of its performance to equal that of its appearance. Therefore, you can only expect the reviews to be geared towards comparisons of the two.

Many reviewers all agree that the 2010 Ford Mustang's visual package is a cover up for an even better inside. The look of the car doesn't take away from its performance. The new 2010 Ford Mustang is an upgrade to its older counterpart. The addition of improved parts has catapulted the 2010 model to a place of elevation amongst its reviewers. The only similarity the 2010 Ford Mustang has to the older model is the roof. The new Ford Mustang is a lot sleeker. On the inside, the manufacturers have pulled away from the common interior and added an interior that adds to the drive. The aluminum trim and soft touch plastics along with the shiny instruments and noise reduction implementation make the 2010 Ford Mustang's interior a pleasant environment. On the outside there is an addition of sculpted mirrors, an improved grille, a bulge in the hood and hidden windshield washer nozzles all add to the stealth appearance of the 2010 Ford Mustang.

All of these added components are a real treasure to have with the new 2010 Ford Mustang however the real excitement comes when you pop the hood. It shares the same V-8 engine as the older model however it now has 315 HP rather than 300 HP. This is made possible by the added cold air intake from the Bullitt. This cold air intake is also the reason there is a .3 second time reduction when going from 0 to 60. There is also a new part that comes with the standard package on the 2010 Ford Mustang. The added front undercover decreases the front lift by 23%. These added components gives the 2010 Ford Mustang an edge on the older model. Many will say it is not only better looking but it is also faster and has an even better interior than before. The price for the standard 2010 Ford Mustang starts at $28,045.

All of these benefits come from the 2010 Ford Mustang in its standard form. There is even more benefit in the optional packaging. There are two packages you can choose from. You can get the premium pack or the track pack. The premium pack comes with a 4.6-liter V8 engine, the SYNC entertainment system, 18" wheels, added aluminum on the dash, the covers on the pedals, the shift plate and the shift knob. The premium package also totes with it a leather steering wheel. This would put the 2010 Ford Mustang at an estimated $30,095.

There is also a track package that you can choose. This package has all of the additions in the premium package but it also has dual piston calipers, an axle ratio of 3.73, performance quality brake pads and a recalibrated stability control. The track package will put the 2010 Ford Mustang at about $31,540.

The drive of the 2010 Ford Mustang has also improved. It offers a more controlled ride. It sticks to the corners and has great handling rather than the sloppy ride offered by its later model. The 2010 Ford Mustang offers more of a sports car ride rather than its earlier performance of a muscle car. The ride is swift yet stable. The overall improvements to the 2010 Ford Mustang has afforded it a place outside of being abundant stock for rental car companies. It now has its place in the retail market that will satisfy the taste of anyone looking for an affordable car with options to upgrade. It is a refined class act that stands up to its image and delivers on its performance.
