Overview
The Ford Mustang is a coupe known for this above all: the last v8 pony car standing; dark horse is track-honest. It cross-shops against the Chevrolet Camaro, Toyota GR86, and like every vehicle it has a personality — strengths worth paying for and quirks worth checking before you sign anything.
