The car is a good value considering what you get for the money but...
Seriously uncool. 99% of people who drive them think they're the fastest thing on the road-including the v6 guys. There are more cocks driving these than bmw, audi, and benz drivers put together.

Good bang for the buck.... butt (and a BIG BUTT)
The people who buy them make the car a massive cock, ass, prick magnet. Ironically the more powerful you go up in the stang totem poll the cooler the drivers are. The V6's are driven by high school/college jocks who think there the shit and can beat Veyrons and CCX's. The 5.0 drivers just chill but tend to overestimate their car. I've seen countless get mauled by STi, Evo's or the Uber Germans rockets The Shelby + guys... now they are awesome packages. Gear heads at heart and now there car can fodder 99.999% of anything that attempts to mingle... so they just chill back and look like a badass

Even as a past mustang owner, there are many better mustangs out there. You should do a Terminator wall. That would be a sub zero in my book. That car brought SVT back from the ashes. One of the best cars I've owned, just had REALLY crappy gas mileage.

Cool.
No matter who drives it, it's still a car that has bang for your buck performance, looks good and still can get you *****. Girls will always love the Mustang, it can get you laid if you play your cards right. Or if you go to Penn State. Hehe...

The look is classic in nature but they intentionally marketed to people who feel nostalgic for old muscle cars. Despite the fact that the Mustang was a pony car when Muscle cars were popular. It's a poseur now. The Camaro is faster and has had better handling for almost 30 years despite being bigger and heavier. The Camaro had the torque tube on the rear suspension long before the current one. The current Camaro had IRS an entire generation before the Mustang. The Mustang is intentionally designed as an underdog to win points, not races. The market it as competition with the Camaro, car in a different classification, yet it still sells surprisingly good.

Cool.
A mustang without choppy angles and corners is a win in my book (aesthetically). It's like the mustang the Japanese would have built if they were into that thing (once again, aesthetically).

420hp for under 27k is cool no matter which way you slice it.
