What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Ford Mustang

2012 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather. see full Ford Mustang review
2012 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD
My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review
2011 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD
Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2012 Ford Mustang

2012 Ford Mustang Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
This car has loads of power and is an absolute blast to drive. see full Ford Mustang review
2012 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8

412 horses, nuff said... see full Ford Mustang review
2012 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Amazing 5.0 engine, good six speed manual transmission. With 3.73 rear axle, performance is incredible. Not much comparable in terms of performance for the dollar. see full Ford Mustang review
2012 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD
Terrific engine. Docile at low rpm, but comes up on the cam nicely around 4k. Great noise too. Lots of bad reports on 6spd manual trans, but I seem to have a good one. Refinement of drivetrain surprisingly good overall. see full Ford Mustang review
2011 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed automatic RWD
The V6 has plenty of power available, and the transmission works well with it. see full Ford Mustang review
2011 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Power per pound of car weight. see full Ford Mustang review
2011 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed automatic RWD
The engine looks great and has amazing power. Easy to get even more power out of it with simple DIY canned tune and CAI. Hushpower mufflers sound great but do not effect hp.Auto tranny well-matched to power curve, paddle shifter would be nice. see full Ford Mustang review
2011 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
New 5.0 liter engine is the best you can find in a pony car. The technology is ahead of the competition. see full Ford Mustang review
2012 Ford Mustang Powertrain: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6

Concerned about transmission longevity considering the owner complaints of shift quality problems with the 6-speed manual. see full Ford Mustang review
