==High Points==
 
==Low Points==
 
==Performance and Handling==
 
==Gas Mileage==
With only [[V6]] and [[V8]] engines available for the Mustang, it's no surprise that gas mileage is less than optimal.  However, the base [[V6]] model still squeezes out a respectable 19mpg in the city and 28mpg on the highway.  This is good enough to earn it a 6th place spot on [http://www.autos.com/autos/rankings_mpg?cat=passenger_cars&segment=sporty_cars&rank=mpg&year=2006 Autos.com], but the 1st place finisher cranks out 25/30mpg.
 
==Safety==
In crash tests carried out by the [http://www.safercar.gov NHTSA], the [[Ford Mustang|Mustang]] performed well, receiving 5/5 stars for front impact and rollover and receiving 4/5 stars for side impact.
 
[http://www.autos.com/autos/rankings_safety?cat=passenger_cars&segment=sporty_cars&rank=safety&year=2006 Autos.com] ranks the Mustang tied for 4th in its class in safety, behind the [[Chevrolet Corvette]], [[Volkswagen GTI]], and [[Mazda RX-8]].
 
==Reliability and Maintenance==
 
==Interior and Comforts==
The interior of the [[Ford Mustang|Mustang]] is clean and surprisingly simple.  This is not to say that it lacks in features; amenities such as a 4-speaker CD stereo, tilt steering wheel, front and rear headrests, and power locks and windows all come standard.  However, the dashboard layout, climate controls, and stereo interface are all clearly displayed, easily accessible, and, aside from the available leather/chrome trim, retain a relatively simple look.  The spedometer and tachometer are large, contained within deep inset moldings, and, along with the three-spoke steering wheel, maintain the new Mustang's retro sensibilities as a bit of a throwback to earlier models.
 
Cabin noise is minimal, although the unmistakable roar of the [[V8]] engine may find its way inside.  Cloth stitching is the standard, but leather is available, and as with many sports coupes, rear seating is limited in legroom.
 
Some optional comoforts and conveniences include a Shaker 1000 stereo system with MP3 capability, oil pressure and voltmeter guages, a trip computer, aluminum and leatherette accents, and a systems monitor.
