2009 FORD Mustang 4.6L V8 5MT RWD (300 HP)

Vehicle Overview

An American favorite, the legendary Ford Mustang managed to survive through the years, with the first model being released back in the 60s’.

The muscular exterior design was well appreciated, however, the Mustang lacked a refined handling or a top-notch interior quality, compared to competitors like the Mazda RX-8 and the Nissan 350Z.

For 2009, the Mustang was available as a coupe or a convertible and came in four trim levels: V6 Deluxe, V6 Premium, GT Deluxe and GT Premium,

The base model, the V6 Deluxe included 16-inch alloys, cruise control, air-conditioning and keyless entry, while the V6 Premium added a power driver seat and an updated audio system.

The GT Deluxe trim level came with bigger 17-inch alloys, a rear spoiler, foglamps and sport seats.

The top of the range, the GT Premium added leather upholstery and a premium audio system.

Standalone options included 18-inch alloys, xenon headlights, remote ignition, ambient lightning and a new glass roof.

Safety wise, the Mustang came with standard front-seat side aribags and 4-wheel disc brakes. Optionally, buyers could choose antilock brakes and a traction control system, features that were standard on the GT trim level.

The interior looked a bit dated for 2009 and the quality of materials made the car feel cheap, with hard plastics all around.

The Mustang could accommodate up to four people, however, the rear space was cramped. The trunk was a decent size.
