2013 Mustang V6 Review // Still Old School

[@lilchungustm6444]

I liked the 2013-14 way more than any other model

[@dangerousvidsr220]

Lil’ ChungusTM it makes me feel more comfortable

[@RobertoGomez-hp8wu]

I have a 2012 v6

[@gabrieljames2k]

Even the ‘67?

[@thug2244]

It's just something about that MUSTANG sticker running at the bottom of the door, that I hate - thankfully mine did not come with that sticker - and there is not too much difference between a 2010 v6 and 2013 v6 - the ordinary person can not tell the difference - if you get those solid louvers that go on that side window (it totally changes the car - if the louvers are the same color as the car) - they make it look as if there is not a window there - those solid louvers make a 2010 look better than this 2013

[@dr.zippymcscoots8725]

The color scheme is great yet hard to find. Im an old school mustang guy. For those of you on the fence these 6 cylinder stangs are fine. My other cars is a 2010 Ford focus 5 speed with 140 horses. That Mustang is a whole different level. Get one its fine. Remember this important fact about Mustangs. The first Mustang was a 6 cylinder. there are two types of Mustangs, cruisers and racers.

Solid review bro. I'm actually in the market of buying one withing the next week or two. Just test drove the 2013 v6 premium today and I fell in love!!!

[@GrahamCain]

Thanks a ton! This is my first review so I'm glad to hear that you thought it was a good one! Also glad to hear that you're planning to join the Mustang community! I was the same as you, after that first test drive I was hooked. It's a solid car and after almost 30,000 miles with a car/driving enthusiast(myself) behind the wheel I've still had zero issues with it. It's certainly one of the best of not THE best bang-for-your-buck cars out there.

[@Golfzilla70]

welp, here it is in 2024 and after doing a little research, i went ahead and bought myself a used 2013 v6 mustang that popped up in a local dealership. I was in the market for a new ride, it was low-mileage, and well maintained. And I can attest that it IS a fun car to have and drive. I'm 53 years old, and the last mustangs i had were back in the 80's. I was never privileged enough to have a GT, the ones i had were one crappy inline 6 and the other a weak 4 cylinder. And that's probably for the best, because that was the only thing holding a teen from the 1980's back from driving fast 😄. This V6 from 2013 makes me feel like a young kid again! And what's better, i actually have enough sense not to push my boundaries on such a powerful machine (or perhaps i've found my boundaries and know not to get near them). I smile every time i walk out the door to go to work now.

[@xs8372]

Great review. Makes me love my 2012 V6 Premium even more.

[@GrahamCain]

+Xtian Susarrey Thanks man! Good to hear from a fellow Mustang owner as well!

[@ssiebenaler]

Great video! I have the same color 2013 V6 Premium with some upgrades. JLT Performance Cold Air Intake, Borla ATAK Cat-Back Exhaust, a Performance computer tune, and the full Ford V6 Performance Package. This thing handles like a track car and at the same time smooth enough to be my daily driver. I average 21mpg mostly highway in South Florida. The OHTSU FP7000 tires on it stick to the road, wet or dry. I had been shopping for a GT, but drove this and had to have it!

[@GrahamCain]

Thanks for sharing! Sounds you've got an awesome car!

[@monikhushalpuri]

One thing you should mention...change the waterpumps on these every 2 years or so...i just had my waterpump go out and wipe my rod bearings from the coolant contaminating the oil

[@stevewoods8116]

Thank you!!!! Long storey got my 19 year old son in a car he could look good in and not kill him self. Post purchase looking for affrimation i made the correct decision which this proved i did. got a 2013 with 27K for 15.5K

[@alfredulaj3985]

was it a premium?

[@Blballerboy]

@@alfredulaj3985 Jesus how are these cars cheaper 4 years ago? I’m seeing V6s for $19K with 60k miles, no leather seats wtf!!

[@marcoramos426]

@@Blballerboy I just bought one for 15k with 70k miles. I know it’s a lot compared to back then but right now with the chip shortage and inflation this is the “best” deal I could find anywhere near me

[@Blballerboy]

@@marcoramos426 that’s a real good deal

[@marcoramos426]

@@Blballerboy best deal I could find, been looking for months now. The car is reallly really clean for the amount of miles it has

[@halvey8518]

Hey Graham, just wanted to say as a 2010 v6 mustang owner myself, that the engine is extremely reliable as I'm about to hit 75k miles and most say it will last for another 100k. I'm inspired by many of your videos to mod mine, lower it on some springs, and change the exhaust. Love your videos I'll be subbed for a while👍🏼

[@GrahamCain]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you've been inspired! I bet it'll turn out great!

[@AntChiulli-Chiulli_RS]

4.0 gang?

[@bakes011815]

Excellently done review! I'm picking up the same tomorrow in white with brown interior... only 24k miles on it.

[@GrahamCain]

Thank you! I'm sure you'll love it!

[@chewsrc6072]

I just bought one of these in spectacular shape and I absolutely love it so far. Few things could be improved but love the way it drives.

[@GrahamCain]

Does the car have any modifications done to it?

[@Cba409]

I have one too and love it!!! Same color as yours. Mine is the base model with the performance package.

[@Delfo_Dominion]

Really nice job with the camera-work! Also nice ride dude. How old are you btw?

[@Cartlidge48]

My one question is, how does it handle daily driving?

[@forbes646]

v6 is perfect for daily driving as it has great mpg for a muscle car

[@martindeleon9863]

The GT is good as a daily driver. I have a 14 GT and I cruise to and from work with no problems or complaints! It’s a solid motor!

[@NewtonWashinton]

2014 was like the last year of the Mustang, what they are making now seems more like a performance fusion, I do not like the new Mustang Period. I tried to like it but i cannot.

[@GrahamCain]

+Newton Washinton They're great cars and I heavily respect them; however, I'm with you in the fact that I do not like them as Mustangs.

[@tjsharpymarker3390]

@Newton Washington, agreed, the S197 will always look better than the S550. That body style will for sure be missed

[@work101work9]

They are ugly its 2019 they need to change the style. 14 was the last good yr.

[@AntChiulli-Chiulli_RS]

i’m surprised more ppl don’t have these or even the 2015-2017 v6. these are quicker then a lot of cars deemed “fast” for this price point especially. you can throw the 12 inch lcd digital dash and the 8 inch infotainment screen with the trim pieces that both come on the 2023 GT premium, if you really don’t like the interior and still be way cheaper to get into then a lot of other slower cars

[@lyndahammel9502]

I love the looks of your Mustang! I love my Ecoboost premium also!

[@idantheman1354]

Got me a silver one.. Just like yours,,window sticker was $30.553 dollars. its the best car ever,, one owner.i payed 10.500 91k miles. ive owned mustangs my whole life..68 fastbacks and 70 mach 351 , It was next best car i owned

[@resplendentwitticism]

Sounds really good

[@techmaniac43]

[@tWizt3dPtOwn]

How does it perform on wet streets? (V6 Model)

[@GrahamCain]

Robin Sneila I think that's down to your tires, really. Some grip much better than others on wet surfaces!

[@RickNethery]

Robin Aidan I drive a long commute in a 2013 Mustang V6. Great Car, but it does hydroplane easily. You must also be cautious on wet streets with the accelerator, the car has a lot of power. All in all, great road car, You just have to use extra caution in the rain.

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

Edgar Sandoval agreed with the gentleman above. Drive with caution in the wet. I've used a few different sets if tires. It does make a difference but with the acceleration part requires a gentle toe.

[@AStanton1966]

They come with posi-traction in the rear axle. So you won't sit there spinning if you got to goose it and move.

[@jakubkosowski7203]

Nice review, but saying, that this Mustang handles extremely well is an overkill. I have a 2013 V6 with manual trans and a Mustang Club of America package, and my two problems with it is steering is shit and liveaxle causes wobbliness on the back. Front of a car is planted, but rear feels like it's from another car. I need to install Watts linkage, maybe that will help. When it comes to steering, it's typical for older generation of the electric power steering, that I don't feel much feedback from the front wheels. When you try to link a slide/drift, the steering wheel won't rotate itself as it should, so you have to do it manually making a car not too pleasant for drifting. All in all V6 Mustang is a great daily, but it could be slightly better.

[@thegreatsilence1765]

There's a small car shop down here and they have this 2013 Mustang and it has 24K miles on it. They are asking $3000 down, but does not list the price. I am afraid to ask lol. Now with the tax refund coming up soon, I can put down $3K and get it, but I am sure because it is a sports car and the monthly payments will be higher then regular car as well as the car insurance, I do not think I can afford the monthly payments. Man oh man do I want this car badly. I also want to install some $1500 car stereo system with subs amp etc to listen and blast the hell out of my music {trance, techno, rock and roll, metal}. Tint the windows as well. Then and maybe then I will find a hot chick and get laid lol.

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

The Great Silence did your plan work

I can and will! Thanks for the idea!

[@peke2283]

Your welcome and thanks also!

[@lukasvitiello6434]

Hey man I need some advice. I got the 2013 premium mustang locally. The guy said he will do 9500. It’s got 50 k miles. Should I do it? I think the price is good but what do u think. I’ve check market and it is below it price wise.

[@GrahamCain]

Sounds like a great deal for a low milage premium! Always run the CarFax or the VIN though to check for any sketchy history.

[@SIIKAP1]

how tf? they’re selling for like 14k for that now

[@alanmxm1]

great video brother

[@garrettcasey9445]

Man I'm really hooked on wanting to buy this car, but everyone keeps dogging on how horrible mustangs are and like you said that I need to get a V8 but just sitting in it makes you feel like a badass! I'm under 25 so insurance is going to kill me regardless no matter what car I get so even with this at least I would love getting in my car every day! Lol

[@GrahamCain]

There's not a single thing that's horrible about this car! I've had mine for three years now, put 38,000 miles on it, and I've had no issues what so ever. It's extremely reliable, handles very well, has good power (more than the 05-10 GT), is good on gas for a car like this, and the build quality is very solid. If you like this car it's definitely a good one! Don't let the haters deter you! You won't be sorry if you get one!

[@garrettcasey9445]

+HeyThisIsGraham hey thanks for the reply man! I am more than likely gonna get one. Regardless of what people say or the insurance. I just love the way they feel. I drive a civic now and I just want power!! Lol

[@GrahamCain]

+Garrett Casey I understand that! Also, I'm not sure if you've checked yet, but the insurance really isn't all that bad for the V6. It's certainly a little more than a Civic I'm sure but it's not awful at all!

[@alanmxm1]

I like mine😉

[@GrahamCain]

It's definitely a great machine!
