Ford improved this version of the Mustang with more refined handling, communicative steering, upgraded interior materials, and standard electronic stability control. While the ride is decent, it doesn't feel quite as tied down and composed as it should. The transmission shifts very smoothly and the engine delivers a throaty V8 note. Plus, 20 mpg is quite good for this level of power. The rear seat remains cramped, but the upright styling helps visibility and cabin access, making the Mustang a livable daily driver as well.
