The 1996 Ford Mustang brought a line of more efficient engines to the model. Gone was the 5.0-liter V8 that had been part of the Mustang engine choices for over 20 years, across three generations of the pony car. Ford instead opted for the more efficient 4.6-liter V8 rated at 225 horsepower.
The Cobra came standard with a 4.6-liter V8 rated at 305 horsepower. The 1996 Saleen continued to provide the most thrilling ride of the bunch, with an S-351 rated at 500 horsepower.
A new color was introduced with the 1996 Mustang: Mystic. This color looks black on cloudy days, but when the sun is out, reflects purples and reds.

What owners say
"The 1996 Ford Mustang receives mixed reviews from owners. Many drivers appreciate its fun performance, strong acceleration, and handling, making it a thrilling car to drive. Owners also love its sporty appearance and relatively good gas mileage for a performance car. However, some have voiced concerns about the build quality and power limitations of the V6 model, with several noting the need for repairs due to its age. Overall, while it's seen as a fun vehicle, some drivers feel that upgrading to a V8 might be a better option for more power."

March 30, 2008Fun, well handling car. Put the top down on a warm sunny day and push the gas to make her go! This car has 60,000 original miles and drive like a dream. Very well taken care of and will be in the family for a long time.
April 16, 2011Great car fun to drive for any person. Would be a lot more fun if it was a manual. Doesn't need a lot of repairs even for an american sports car. If anything I wish the interior was better looking. Nothing to really complain about 190,000+ miles and stilling running strong. While the V8 GT is the real mustang, the V6 has its pluses. Uses a lot less gas and insurance cost is GREAT. The manual would be more fun but harder to find at low price.

August 19, 2008i never had a single problem with this car. it was fun and i was proud to call it mine.
March 5, 2008Have no dislikes. Car is lots of fun, and economical also. I like the safety of how well it handles, and accelerates, as well as the economy. Easy to modify, parts readily available, and reasonable costs to upkeep make it an all around good car.
January 12, 2015With five speed transmission the acceleration is great. The custom exhaust system makes it all that more fun to drive. Braking is great with four disc brakes. Handles great. Feels very smooth at highway speeds. The car is always a thrill to drive.
June 15, 2014I bought this car in 2008 with just a little over 100,000 miles on it. The performance on this car is amazing. It's acceleration is strong and the braking and handling are astonishing. The car is a dark green with a tan top and tan and black interior. The gas mileage so far is pretty good. It is a blast to drive this car!!!
July 13, 2008Pulls great through all gears due to square torque curve. True muscle car feel without a lot of negative drawbacks
June 16, 2008performance is good, acceleration well it is a 96 its not get up and go but it sure aint slow, braking is good, handeling is good. build quality is good, it has needed a few repairs a new roof due to wear and tear being a 96, no squakes and rattles appearence is good very nice looking car, gas mileage is okay 60.00 to fill depending where you drive its pretty good. it is a very fun car to drive
November 12, 2011Great fun to drive, tons of power! •Performance - acceleration -10, braking - 10, handling -10 •Build Quality - 10 squeaks/rattles none with over 125k miles on it! •Appearance - both interior and exterior styling are fine with me. could use more cup holders but the fixed that with later year models. •Cost of Ownership - gas mileage- its not a hybrid, but is good on highway driving, maintenance- low cost, parts are easy to find and fix! •Fun Factor - Very fun to drive!
