2011 Ford Mustang GT
The 2011 Ford Mustang GT is great fun to drive, and shows excellent styling.
The car is a looker, and its big engine
makes an impressive sound under acceleration.
But its EPA fuel economy requires a driving style that takes all the fun out of it.
Expect real-world fuel economy in the midteens, which also means shortened driving range.
Although not part of the muscle car mystique, Ford's standard and available cabin tech for the Mustang GT are very good, offering a set of very useful features with the navigation system.
Sync remains one of the best technologies for integrating phones and MP3 players.
The Shaker audio system is a letdown, but could probably be improved through a set of aftermarket speakers.
