Why it stands out

The 2016 Ford Mustang stands out because Ford chose not to treat it as a simple carryover after the car’s 50th anniversary year. Instead, it arrived with some old favorites and new surprises meant to keep the pony car feeling fresh, including hood-mounted turn signals that first appeared in ’67, new Black Accent and California Special packages, and the GT Performance package finally available for the convertible.

That mix of heritage and updates is a big part of the Mustang’s appeal. It gives buyers a car with recognizable style and a sense of history, while also adding enough fresh packaging to make the lineup feel more special. Owners also praise its fun and smooth ride, performance, handling, and stylish design, and many see strong value compared with similar cars. On the other hand, some drivers noted missing features like Apple CarPlay, and fuel economy can be a mixed point depending on the model.
