Review: 2015 Ford Mustang V6

I review the 2015 Ford Mustang V6. Which would you rather have, the V6 or the EcoBoost? Huge thanks to Guillermo and his girlfriend for driving all the way from Maryland so I could review his car!

[@ravesilly]

I hate to say it but I prefer the sound of the V6 over the ecoboost. Sorry :(

[@clock959]

LOL!

[@carsaregood911]

This is news? The EcoBoost sounds like shit.

[@CJLink96]

That V6 took me by surprise. Sounded much better than I thought I would.

[@nickyman1405]

Lol he doesn't respond to this comment

[@dylanhurst4950]

The v6 has less horsepower than the ecoboost doesn't it?

[@tjhunt_]

Ford really killed it with all the versions of the 2015 mustang. This base interior is better than my Limited Brz interior lol

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Lol yeah, I dunno how ford is making any money off of them. The margins can't be too big haha.

[@anthonygonzalez9422]

kkthxk The minute the 3.7 Cyclone went into the car in 2011, that car developed quite the following. Lots of online groups dedicated to those motors. Plenty of all-motor 3.7s running in the 12's on KZbin.

[@whitexeno]

***** They kept the v6 for fleets aka rentals ect.

[@whitexeno]

cool story bro.

[@davva360]

kkthxk Personally I would prefer the V6 over the 4 cylinder. I just prefer normally aspirated engines. Of course the V8 would be my number one choice and is what I plan to get in my next Mustang.

[@Neel-1]

People love to hate on the V6 but at this point in 2015, the base Mustang is such a great car loaded with so many features.

[@ams914]

This might be my next car.

[@Father_Paul_GT]

ams914 no

[@ams914]

Don't worry, going for GT now.

[@rubberduggy261]

ams914 I would definitely go for GT but I'm kinda broke lol

[@Father_Paul_GT]

Rubber Duggy v6 as i recommend vetter bang for ur buck

[@JjJj-ji7uu]

Don't ever get a v6 mustang or Camaro

[@jv6miata]

Why does the speedo say "Ground Speed"? Does it have a seperate one for the boat feature or the airplane feature?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha it's because the Mustang was named after the P-51 Mustang airplane.

[@jtkent28]

Well technically it should say "airspeed" then ; )

[@cooper6585]

No. Ground speed is correct, as speed relative to ground. Air speed, or IAS (Indicated Air Speed) is done via a propeller or pressure differential to measure speed, and changes with altitude.

[@jtkent28]

I guess what I meant to say was the dial should say airspeed if they are trying to make it airplane like, as the dial or indicator in an airplane reads IAS as you said (indicated airspeed).

[@cooper6585]

jtkent28 No, there are two indications, air speed and ground speed. Ground speed is more precise, therefore as this is directly measured from the ground, this is correct.

[@sputnik8407]

Hi there tell me now , some years later would you choose the v6 over the 4 cyl ??? Thanks ....

[@BarryAir]

bought one today....it does feel soft on takeoff but then comes on strong.....very noticabley larger than the 2011 I used to have.....so far I love it...

[@CJLink96]

Great review Matt! Glad to see someone cares enough to review the v6

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Great review. Thanks for reviewing the V6, like you said, it's hard to find a good review about this model. Definitely worth trying it before deciding which mustang to buy.

[@HDmanzano1995]

I've been waiting for this review forever!!! Thanks Matt and Guillermo! Such great bang for your buck. I want one!

[@enemroy]

I just bought the 2016 Ecoboost in black with premium package. And was very close to buying the V8 but decided against it. The V6 was never in consideration for a few reasons. First you cant get the premium package on it which you can on ecoboost base model and GT base model. The premium package takes the car to another level with all the features. Not saying the V6 is bad but you have to sit inside one to really know. I had the ecoboost with premium package as a rental for a week then went in and test drove the V6 and the GT without premium package. I was happy with the V6 and GT until I got inside and saw all that nice technology and leather missing. Also plan on getting the exhaust upgraded for my ecoboost. Also the ecoboost get better gas mileage then the V6.

[@pwrshots]

nice review. you actually drove it hard. picking one up as a daily driver,. you can always throw a turbo on it later. that color has grown on me. enjoyed your honest review.

[@justyouraverage2869]

V6 or Ecoboost is perplexing, but I'll settle on Challenger.

[@pyroreapernick8116]

One thing I've noticed from watching his videos is that when ever he says let's turn on to this back road, means let's floor it and slam some gears! Lol

[@MrSlowestD16]

Yeah, I agree with this review 100% - I haven't driven the 2015, but everything considered, that's my take on it. It really is still a great car, and at that price point it's REALLY hard to beat. So if you don't plan on modifying it, and you're comfortable with the power it makes, definitely the most efficient way to place your money, that's for sure....and in autoX it'll out-handle even a Focus ST which will run like 5k more, so it's hard to knock it too much.

[@CreedK]

As a 2013 V6 owner, I think Ford did a bad move by basically neglecting the V6 this year entirely. Hopefully when the new V8 comes out (or the Coyote is overhauled to have 450-500 hp if not more) then there will be an ecoboost V6. A turbo V6 now would no doubt come dangerously close to the GT in terms of performance, the GT right now is pretty bottle-necked since the entire car has been overhauled but the engine has remained relatively untouched. The I4 should take over as the base model, the eco V6 should be middle ground and take over the performance role of the GT, and the GT should have its price less restricted and be allowed to cost S40-55k and have performance almost comparable to the older GT500s. Another option would be to go the route of Dodge and offer multiple V8's (Doesn't the new Challenger have like 2 or 3 different V8 engines with multiple configurations? That's pretty insane).

[@ChickenChunkCheek]

Just a thought; don't call the back seat space great and then go ahead 30 seconds later and say only for if you're shorter or a child. If it was great, I get the impression it is good for everyone. Love the videos, I just wanted to share my 2 cents

[@kidjoker0737]

The V6 is a better option and if the low end torque is going to bother you slap on an after market cool air intake. Good bang for your buck car.

[@MrShikfootball]

The sounds of the birds in the beginning of the video are how you know its spring in PA

[@robertdevoy3119]

Speed is not that important to me. It may seem strange, but I am cross shopping the 2015 Mustang V6 against the 2015 Subaru BRZ. I have not driven either car yet, but will be soon. My next car must be fun to drive and handle well. Not far from my home are some excellent twisty roads and that's where you'll find me when I want to have some fun. It also must have enough power to get me safely on to the highway and the V6 has plenty of power to do that. I very much appreciate the small back seat of both cars for the ability to toss a jacket back there, or store a laptop on the floor etc. Pure 2 seat sports cars are nice, but I don't want to live with the extreme compromises. That is why I won't buy a used Porsche Cayman in the same price range, as much as I like the car.

[@mckookie2967]

+Robert Devoy BRZ sucks, my friend got it and is obsessed with my 2015 v6 stang to the point where i think he wishes he had it instead. Its honestly an amazingly fun car to drive. Meanwhile, the BRZ has half the power, literally of the v6. 200hp and 150 torque vs 305 hp and 280 torque. if u want a subaru get the wrx, the brz is a joke. very tiny too for passengers

[@satoshimilk]

@Robert Devoy I was in the same dilemma as you. I had a 2013 manual Scion tC and wanted to have a faster sportier looking ride so I looked into the 2015 BRZ since its damn near identical to the FRS, I went to the dealership and test drove it, the car was beautiful but when I took out on the street it was all bark no bite, there was absolutely no torque even in the lower gears so I ended up driving back disappointed but I was at a ford dealership so I seen the 2016 mustangs that I had in the back of my mind. I asked to test drive one that was a manual v6 since they were so affordable but all they had were the automatics so I test drive that instead and man it's like night and day, there was so much more torque and then I put it into sport mode and that was it I took it home as my new baby. So in my personal opinion I would chose the mustang like I did if you like the look of the car and want something with a lot more hp and torque. Although the BRZ handled very nice but no balls!!!

[@robertdevoy3119]

Thanks for he input it's been very helpful. I'm sure the BRZ is off my list of possibilities. For one thing the car is too damn noisy and it sounds like crap when revved. I'll either get the Mustang V6 or wait a bit for a used BMW 228.

[@mckookie2967]

Robert Devoy I own what he got too, an automatic v6. It turns way more heads than most cars out there especialy a brz. U cant even compare the two since the brz is not even a sports car, im pretty sure a fiesta st has more power tbh. its just light but like i said so is the wrx. Mustang handles very well with the new IRS suspension. The car just won Hottest car award at SEMA

[@AntLive29]

Ask any racer, any REAL racer, it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile! Winning's winning!

[@kasimov1994]

Nice review. Whats the 0-60 and 1/4 time?

[@AStanton1966]

The 0-60 time is 5.5 seconds.

[@DuelReviews757]

I would really love one of these!

[@jrag1000]

Thanks for reviewing all these cars, really helps.

[@jimmyg4307]

Nice review.....you know you now have to review the GT just to complete the trio

[@ManifestGreifing]

How his getting 26mpg? I have the EcoBoost and I only get 18...most of which are freeway miles.

[@ManifestGreifing]

Jorge Ocampo I have an automatic so that may be why? I mean I wouldn't expect that big a difference in mpg tho...

[@jorgeocampo7708]

Manifest I think these new auto transmissions actually get you better mpg than the manual now a days.... you should get it checked out bro... I had leased a 5.0 and the mpg was horrible took it in it ended up it had an internal gas leak...

[@rubygt2055]

That definitely doesn't sound right. My gt is averaging 19 and that's with quite a bit of in town driving. Definitely get it checked. Good luck to you

[@deankevin96]

You must not have an economist than lmfao. Because a 2011-2013 v6 can get up to 550 miles on a full tank.

[@disturbed1gamerz]

***** If you drive it like a prius you'll get better averages. If you run it hard its going to eat that gas up bad.

[@Fundaykidzz]

the v6 is great in three colors that resale better than any other colors they are: grey , silver and black. any other flavor including white (according to my freinds at carmax) makes the car look like a rental.

[@mckookie2967]

+Kevin Edwards No one has the green that is exclusive to this car and looks liek an Aston martin

[@jamieleightee]

I prefer my 2015 V6 only because it's the tried-and-true engine. I didn't want to drop $30K+ on a first-year engine. I'm sure they'll be fine, but I'm just not a risk-taker LOL!

[@abesickboy215]

hey subaruwrxfan thank u for making this video for the v6 mustang i just bought mine a couple days ago and i love it this video is what persuaded to get my 16 mustang keep makin more videos bro !!! Abe-

[@kanekavi]

Is this a good first car? I want it for lease and i also love the fact that it looks great, and SUPER cheap for such a great looking car. SOMEONE HELP.

[@mckookie2967]

+YO YO a car with this much power and rwd isnt the best first car but its reliable. i have it now and its great but u can go fast a lot sooner than u think

[@bronsoon808]

Thank you for doing a review on this! I'm thinking of getting one and can't find a good review anywhere!

[@alecfortin6958]

Those rims are ugly af

[@wclutch]

Alec Fortin Exactly why my first modification to mine was new wheels and tires! I've seen worse stock alloys though.

[@alecfortin6958]

Driv3n to Dr1ve ya i was gonna get one but the insurance was too expensive so im going to check out a scion frs tmrw i put a deposit on

[@wclutch]

Alec Fortin Nice! I also considered the BRZ/frs. I think one would be fun! I just needed more practicality and the mustang helped with that (plus more power lol!).

[@alecfortin6958]

Driv3n to Dr1ve ya i picked it up yesterday i love it so far its fast enough for me and im skinny so i dont need much room so it fits me perfectly; everyone says the sound system is terrible on them since i got the base 2013 model but its really not that bad i just had to tune it a bit and it was pretty good

[@AGBULLIT]

Another good review. I look forward to you reviewing the convertible Mustang. Will it have better rear seat head room than the fastback?

[@stchstrolling6264]

No offense the convertible is way heavy and is more of a feminine car.

[@TukaSlave]

Mustang Jones Approximately 93 million miles of headroom before the sun scorches your hairdo.

[@hellcatgirl1365]

I love this car so much! Pretty color, too.

[@integrafreak1]

Ford just punishes you for choosing a v6 .

[@ponekingpetch3595]

Nice job. I am going to buy one within the next month.

[@waynefilkins8394]

one of these going for $10k locally and all my stock options just fucking dropped...so close to selling them and buying it lol

[@JoeBlow_Atlanta]

Its always funny to hear people down talk a car they don't even own! lmfao unless you have either model please STFU. I have a V6 and with gears, tune, shorty headers, exhaust you're good to go. I raced a ecoboost last weak and the only advantage was his was a manual. I walked him down but car is governed at 120

[@mckookie2967]

+Don Capo lucky. i wana race an eco in my v6

[@JoeBlow_Atlanta]

+MCKOOKIE they have torque advantage but thats all. we have too end advantages

[@thesqueakyvlogger6228]

I like your honesty.

[@everythingihad8967]

Great review ... can't wait to get my hands on one !!!

[@GonzzAD]

I feel the V6 opinion of the Mustang, were made for people with a budget or first cars, but V8s are the way to go

[@Quintolloo]

Julio Gonzalez as far as a v8 would you go with a 11-14 mustang 5.0 or 11-14 challenger RT as first v8? As far as cost, fuel, handling the power etc? Kinda leaning with the 5.0 since i have a 4.0 mustang, thinking the challenger may be a bit too big

[@BRIANBOBCHAPMAN]

NICE Review: 2015 Ford Mustang V6

[@Joshuas_99]

love the review! this car sounds amazing

[@chinchy111]

didnt know they made a v6 for the new generation. i guess its for people in between the 4 cylinder turbo and the v8 gt

[@zamora3D]

great review man. keep em coming

[@michaelfletcher6094]

Subaruwrxfan would you recommend the v6 as a first car for a teenager ?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Michael Fletcher Yeah, as long as the larger size doesn't bother you I think it would be great.

[@thevidmaster101266]

Awesome review! I can tell this is a great entry level performance car.

[@AgentFrosty]

frabadob Seriously?? Well you're either a Chevy fan or European to be spouting useless dribble like that. This vehicle is neither slow, nor a heap of shit, and would make a great first car. If anything really, its a little too powerful for a teen's first car...

[@JC-ej3er]

frabadob Not every person who buys the car is on the street racing. Some people DO buy them just because they like them, always wanted one etc. Some of you people seriously act like it's only about racing, I enjoy racing but some people just like the car.

[@cerrystyle]

I think you should learn driving before getting a fadt car like this it's too much for a teenager, come on it's a V6 get a 4 cylinder maybe turbocharged and then after 1 or 2 years you'll get something else

[@spikz4213]

Great and honest Review of the V6. Any idea what is the 0-60 time for the V6 vs your Ecoboost ?

[@mckookie2967]

+spikz 5.6 for both

[@AveryPlaysBass]

I believe they kept the V6 because of 1. Rental Fleets 2. People buying vehicles for their kids do not want to buy their kids anything with 8 cylinders or a turbo. All the teenage girls (and some boys) driving this will ask their parents and they will say "yes" if only to a base model without the largest or more powerful engine.

[@Xenios9]

No....thet kept it cus it sales simple as that. ..the sales came out and the v6 and ecoboost was almost identical at 25%

[@cloudparter]

AveryPlaysBass I'm 34 and I don't meet any of your criteria genius. I bought a V6 cause I couldn't afford the EcoBoost or V8. The V6 though was right at the top of my allowable budget. It's a great value.

[@mckookie2967]

+AveryPlaysBass V6 is the best of the 3 for the price. and everyone loves my car, especially after the exhaust addition. i see more v6s here in LA than the other 2

[@cafn8ed74]

It's funny. As I watch this video in 2022 and hear $22k, a 2015 V6 Mustang with 30-40k miles is about that much or more.

[@supersaiyanpilaf4085]

For real lol

[@rotatingcats]

my question is how's the sound system? I have a 2006 premium and the sound system is great. since the premium package isn't available on the v6 how's the sound system?

[@jessepayton6869]

I'm not sure how you get a very good idea of how a car handles by taking corners at those speeds. Yes, you are staying within the law but you aren't at the point where you'd feel the Mustangs weight or grip.. Just my opinion.

[@Viper-cr6rm]

No satellite raideo is kindof a loos for me but it is a great car.

[@williamhstevens]

ehh...the V6 is pretty boring. Can't wait to see what mods the EcoBoost has.

[@BasementBerean]

You can't get satellite radio?

[@mckookie2967]

Been debating on which one to pick up in May, but the sound alone sells the V6 over eco. A few reviews have mentioned a smidge of turbo lag also in the eco. Is that true with yours?

[@pipeline_hank5277]

Why is he called subaru WRX fan, if he doesnt have a Subaru wrx, and only reviewed two?

[@JLJE54]

"Alright so uhhh let's turn on to this back road here and see...how it does😈😎"

[@stevep4574]

Idk this new style looks a little overboard/out there. I would rather have a 14 which looks closer to the classic Mustang of the 60s, even the dash.

[@casualsuede]

the v6 mustang hits their specs and numbers with 87 regular or does it need premium? I heard the ecoboost sucks at 87.

[@NotSoHeavyD3]

The numbers for gave for the V6 (300 HP and 280 LBFT) was with 87. There's rumors that if you put in 93 it jumps a little to 305HP.

[@FranciscoSantos-Mora]

Someone explain why they ain’t coming out with twin turbo V6’s this goes for both mustangs and cameros I need answers!!!!!

[@eazyc404]

funny the main people talking shit about the v6 can't even afford the v6......

[@aronzoetebier1546]

eazyc404 V6 is less expensive than the ecoboost

[@patricioperez8662]

Ikr why the hell do people want a v8? They are fuel eaters

[@Cornkake]

Because they're more powerful, subjectively sound better, and provide the true american muscle vibe that real enthusiasts crave. I own a 2015 5.0 myself but I don't hate the v6, it just doesn't compare to the v8 by performance standards. I can get 16 MPG in the city with fairly conservative driving; Not great, but not the worst.

[@DavyDave1313]

I went from the 2016 V6 to the 2017 V8. Its a new world man the sound is so so good and it hauls ass so much on that first and second gear pull its insane. However coming from a V6 I cannot hate it. Its a powerful car, better bang for your buck (V6 300hp arouns $17k now whereas a subaru 250hp is $30k+) than even the V8. Miss my silver stang V6

[@anthonygonzalez9422]

The V6 is an awesome buy for a lot of people. That 3.7 is one of the best motors the Mustang has ever had in it, including V8's. Forged crank, reinforced block, 6-bolt main bearings...just to name a few. Fords arbitrary decision to not offer a Premium or Performance Package with it was too bad.

[@MichaelScarbroughcat]

Nice review. I just bought a 2016 Mustang V6 with the automatic. I chose the V6 over the Ecoboost because the horsepower rating is with regular unleaded & not Premium like the ecoboost. The V6 makes 300-hp on regular vs 275-hp on the ecoboost on regular. Insurance for me was identical on both cars. Maybe because I'm 51 years old. This is the best Mustang I've ever owned by far.

[@umarery]

The Ecoboost has 310hp and 320tq. And the V6 has 3000hp and 280tq.

[@arifnaim9925]

+amg4330 wow 😂

People are never satisfied. This V6 would beat a 5.0 87 fox body Mustang that everyone brags about. 300 hp 0-60 under 6 seconds, how much do you need?

[@CeeStyleDj]

300 Hp and 280 ft. lb is no joke. V8 Mustang GT's only had 260 in the early 2000's. I would say today, V6 is the choice. Remember these are now MID-level engines, not entry level. the 2016 Camaro is going to have 335. Something a v8 owner could only wish for stock just a few years ago.

[@brandonmckibben1164]

Great video man, thanks for reviewing the V6 version. I've been looking at this version for a while now and it is the only mustang I could really afford, plus I really love V6s so it was really good to see a review of one.

[@vtrippster]

Yeah same, i can definitely fit 2-3 people in my trunk... do it regularly

[@donaldbienko5241]

8 if you chop'em up:)

[@USARealMan-ls3zj]

I own a 2016 Mustang V6 and highly recommend it over the ecoboost. The V6 exhaust sounds like the V8.... sounds soooo much better than the ecoboost and this engine is actually a few tenths quicker 0-60 than ecoboost. I have raced a couple ecoboost mustangs and every time I pull ahead slightly despite the advertised peak HP ratings on paper being slightly higher on the turbo 4. Less to break down the road with a N/A engine. And better throttle response off the line too. V8 is nice but less than 1 second quicker to 60 and like $6k more plus higher insurance? Not worth it. This car will smoke 99% of cars on the road. I got the 051 package which gives you fog lights, premium rims and some other stuff... remote start etc.

[@morphanok6932]

+USARealMan177669 Its that badass of a car huh? I'm thinking about getting one

[@USARealMan-ls3zj]

+morphanok69 I love it. The selling point for me was the V6 engine sounds like the V8, much more so than the ecoboost. Ecoboost sounds like any other ford 4cyl. Sure the V8 is better but again for $6k more, and less than 1 second quicker 0-60, I'll take the V6 with the lower insurance rates. Car looks identical to the V8 minus the badging. I do recommend the 051 package which includes upgraded rims, fog lights and a few other things, power seat etc. Btw remote start is standard on automatics along with paddle shifters, not available on manual.

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

i have a 15 v6 mustang as well. i wouldnt say it sounds like a v8 but it does sound really good. upgrade the exhaust and it sounds fking mean.

My first mustang was a ‘98 V6 5 speed. I put dual flowmaster exhaust and it was a blast to drive. I was 20 and insurance for a V8 was crazy so I had a lot of fun with my V6.

[@resplendentwitticism]

Thank you for reviewing a v6! I have a 2012 v6 Camaro and they can be forgotten, even though they are incredible standalone cars. Obviously a v8 is king, but there's something about revving out a v6 and hearing that sexy induction noise that does it for me. I prefer naturally aspirated engines and you can't beat the Camaro/Mustang for the money. I'm tempted to get a Mustang someday because of the interior quality and visibility...however I love my Camaro and I've had zero issues with it.

[@generalmaximuspatton6909]

good review. I just bought a new 2016 and have to say I went in ready for ecoboost, but opted for V6 for several reasons. first, regardless of HP or power band it's still just a 4 banger. The V6 works less and will have a longer life. second, ecoboost is just a new name for a turbo and they have the potential to break down. third, the sound of the V6 is a nice warm rumble whereas the eco sounds like a ratty little 4 cylinder when you rap out the accelerator. gas mileage difference is little as I think eco drivers will be more likely to be "dipping in" to the power around town. You're absolutely right about the interior. The standard carbon fibre dash is 10xs better looking than the cheesy brushed silver looking premium dash as is the white stitching on the seats over plain leather. Mine also came with the auto trans and paddle shifter, which is a must! With the difference in cost I was able to get it in convertible which is without a doubt the single most pleasurable feature of any car. After 2 days I love it even more than the first. I think the V6 is a proven classic and the market 10 years from now will be flooded with burnt out ratty 4 cylinder ecos.

I agree with you 100%! I've never looked at the V6 in that way, you my friend have transformed my mindset from getting a EcoBoost® to a V6 and save the extra bucks!

[@abrian8282]

+harris3693 exactly!

[@MsTlc333]

You nailed it. I went to buy a '17 ecoboost premium and left with a v6 fastback. I even made the sales guy take 2 different ecoboosts out, just to be certain. In the end, the v6 was more fun to drive, about $8k less expensive (NY prices), sounded better, and I had greater confidence in the reliability department. The fuel economy is a gimmick imo, and if you put 93 in a v6 it will give you a little extra hp and performance anyway. As far as the options go, I wasn't impressed with the leather and I find big infotainment screens very distracting. The v6 offers everything you need in a daily sports car. It's plenty fast and you save money which can be used for mods. Really, the only downside is dumb kids constantly asking if it's a GT.

[@pooploopify]

Forget what they say about the intro! Your intro makes me happy! And my happiness is far more important than their opinions!

[@Unb3arablePain]

Just asking... Why didn't ford drop the Ecoboost V6 in the mustang?

[@MrGovenator1]

Just a thought, but maybe they didn't want to step on GT sales?

[@Unb3arablePain]

MrGovenator1 MUH PRECIOUS 5.0L!

[@Zackmd1100]

Won't fit is my guess. The 3.5 EB actually takes up more space then the 5.0 and it is already a tight fit in the 15. I'm guessing the 2.7 ran into other clearance problems. Didn't want to redesign the engine so they dropped in the 2.3l that they were developing for the new focus.

[@mckookie2967]

The new Ford GT is a 600hp EcoBoost V6

[@sdnative2387]

Unbearable Pain Think about it. That would have defeated the purpose of have the 5.0.

[@JeffDeWitt]

I've got a 2015 V6 convertible, it's really been a great car, and it's got the option package that includes nicer wheels, driving lights and power seats (which I could do without). It's been very reliable (except for Sync... Sync sucks). A couple of years ago I was able to take it on a Route 66 trip... North Carolina to Chicago to LA then north to San Francisco and home. Over 8,000 miles and for one or two people I can't think of a better modern car for the trip.

[@RawrITSFrancis]

I drove the EB. didn't like it. Maybe because I'm a V8 guy. I floored the pedal and I fell like the car was doing so much afford to go fast. Everything happens when you hit 3rd gear. Don't get me wrong. Great car. But coming from a 2012 modified GT makes things slower.

[@theunknown4772]

The new looks on the mustang has officially grown on me though I love the previous front headlights just SLIGHTLY better. Nice review and can you possibly review a '14 Camaro 1LT RS or a 2LT. I've seen you review a '10 RS but this one is updated, New engine and interior. Thanks!

[@lKingRichardl]

It is true, the Mustang is a great car all the way from the base to the 350R. Personally I like the sound of a lighter front end and more torque (40 more lbs ft isn't nothing) in the eco boost, but no doubt the base model is a 10/10 for the price. Great value!

[@NoFeelinMetal]

what really makes me laugh about the 2015 v6 is that ford detuned the v6 when they added the ecoboost so they could say the ecoboost makes more power and sell it for a higher sticker price. The 2011-2014 v6 are quite a bit quicker than both 2015 ecoboost and v6, 5 more HP and lighter.

[@BernonCars]

Maryland pride lol

[@rooftopshootaz8927]

Hell yea!!!!!

[@thesadzebra]

Bernie Hi

[@coolrides]

Hey, Matt! You confirmed what I thought...it's the best buy of the new Mustang lineup! Glad you've given it the attention it deserves! :) Jack

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

Nice drive. What makes the car fun is the manual transmission. Very very hard to find a 2015 to 2017 V6 with a manual. Most of them were rental cars with the automatic. Too bad Ford did not continue to develop this engine. It could easily have had 330 hp with 300 ft lbs of torque and still get 25+ mpg. Less complicated than a 4 cyl turbo. Oh well. An electric Mustang in a few years may be the best solution. If Camaro and Challenger can continue to offer a V6, why not Ford?

[@MrBasinator]

I wish this car was for sale in Holland. We only have the ecoboost and the v8, which is 100k...

[@DONDIVA1969]

V6 don't get no love

[@TheJokesterSCR]

As a proud owner of a 2015 V6 mustang, I would honestly like to know something. How is there less mod potential for the V6 versus the Ecoboost? All I have to do is slap on a procharger and get an extra 130-160HP more than it has, putting it at 460HP. The ecoboost is already turbocharged, so there's not much more you can do to it. I can also upgrade the exhaust, get new headers, H or X pipe, pulley system, and cool air intake with a bigger throttle body. I could EASILY get my V6 up to 500-550HP to the rear wheels. I'm no mechanic, so maybe I'm mistaken, but it would just seem to me that if you put the same turbocharger in the V6, it would demolish the 4 cylinder in speed and power, no to mention all the other mods I threw out there. I love this car, by the way! Amazing handling and so much fun to drive! I have the automatic, but putting it in standard mode and using the paddle shifters is really awesome as well! I've had so much fun with it. Anybody who is more experienced than I on this subject, please weigh in. I'd like to know more. Thanks!

[@sangbyunglee1331]

OneSickDrummer this is exactly what i thought. Maybe subaruwrxfan is a bit biased since he owns ecoboost.

[@TheJokesterSCR]

***** Well, here me out. At least here in Texas, the V6 start around $26K, while the Ecoboost starts around $29-$30K. With that extra $3-$4K saved on the V6, would you not be able to turbo or supercharge the V6 and make it much more powerful than the Ecoboost? A supercharger should give at LEAST an extra 100HP. The procharger claims to give an extra 160HP. After that, the other mods aren't too expensive. Like some headers, H pipe, upgraded exhaust, cold air intake, a pulley system, and a tuner. Could a 4 cylinder even handle all of those mods, and even if so, could it put out as much or more power than the V6 using the same mods? Just doesn't seem plausible. But again, I'm no mechanic. I could absolutely be wrong here.

[@TheJokesterSCR]

***** Also, I absolutely LOVE my V6. Even it being a completely base model, it feels like it's got so many upgrades. I feel like I'm sitting in a cockpit of an aircraft while driving it, haha! Then again, I'm not use to having all of the extra stuff. My main vehicle is a Toyota Tundra (which I hate, but need for work). I've never had a vehicle with so many extras. It does not feel like a base model at all.

[@TheJokesterSCR]

***** Thanks man!

[@Joshylg27]

U dont need a turbocharged. With ur V6 stock u can beat an EB. The thing is dat u "feel" faster on the EB. But like i said is only a feeling. Check the video of AmericanMuscle, 2014 v6 vs 2015 EB. There is no comparison.

[@JBWHITEGT]

Turbo that 3.7L v6 and itll smoke so many cars out there.

[@mckookie2967]

+JBWHITEGT it already does stock

[@JBWHITEGT]

Tellin me that v6 smokes alot of cars come on...im not new to mustang n i know that v6 is no slouch but it doesnt smoke alot. It would though boosted.

[@mckookie2967]

+JBWHITEGT the last '13 and newer stock are faster than a lot of cars

[@JBWHITEGT]

***** your logic makes no sense. Whether its an import or domestic either a supercharger or turbo doesnt make it rice or muscle. Whats your saying is just ignorance. Also because an engine is bigger doesnt make it better. If your going for a 10000 hp car yeah a bigger engine just makes sense. But anything under 2000hp alot of smaller engines can achieve the same as a bigger engine.

[@mckookie2967]

JIMBO SLICE For starters this car is faster than every Lexus on the road save the LFA, it has the same power as the precious RC350 F but is lighter and therefore faster. So yeah my comment is plenty valid amigo

[@nasomaz]

How has your mustang done during the winter, snow , ice??

[@mikeg5280]

My V-6 is fine in ice and snow. Traction control and anti-look brakes see to that. Just don't drive it crazy.

[@XCVi_MAC]

Got my 2015 v6 love it

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

Im looking to trade in my slow ass nissan sentra for a 2015 v6 mustang. How much did you pay for your mustang?

[@XCVi_MAC]

You need to take many things into consideration, do you have good credit? For example I am 19 my parent co signed. Take someone who is good at negotiating otherwise they'll try to hustle you. My v6 had a sticker price of 26 k but ended up at 2.9% interest rate. Paid Around 30 k. You could always wait a year I'm sure they'll be 20 k in a year. Regardless I love my v6! And my GT.

[@XCVi_MAC]

Paying 400 a month and 150 insurance.

[@XCVi_MAC]

The v6 is the base model they don't offer any packages for it. There main focus this year it seems was the Eco boost and GT. but that is a high interest rate for a while dude, I think you might end up paying a bit more than 23 k. I got mine 30 k after all fees and extended warranty.

[@XCVi_MAC]

If it's 338 x 84 months bro you paid 28 k. I took my mom she negotiated lol

[@vincentlee9638]

Do all 2015 mustangs have the normal cruise control as standard? Cuz I think there are buttons on the steering wheel for that?

[@coureurdebois]

ok, another Damn mustang review. please lay off the mustangs or a while. i wove yew senpai but the mustangs must stoppppp

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I did it because nobody has really reviewed a V6 and I had a lot of people requesting it.

[@coureurdebois]

subaruwrxfan NO! *slaps hand* NO MOAR SENPAI!!! no MORE!

Jonny MichTuCop calm down brah

[@TangoFox418]

2 reasons i would get the v6 over the ecoboost. 1. If someone asks "What kind of Mustang you got?" You have to reply "I got that ecoboost." It just sounds embarrassing to me. 2. The ecoboost doesn't sound as good as a v6.... unless you got an aftermarket exhaust. But you could do that to the v6 as well.

[@mckookie2967]

i have a v6 and most ppl who have the ecoboost refer to it as the turbo 4 since it isnt even a true "ecoboost" vehicle. flash tune it for 400 with the new Unleashed tuner and its faster than a GT. that being said i wouldnt trade my v6 for it.

[@trash3570]

Tbh i think people would think less of you for owning a v6?. The turbo hasbcharacter, a v6 you can find in any car.

[@TangoFox418]

+Seth Imola yeah I know, but uninformed people won't know it's a turbo

[@trash3570]

+TangoFox418 thats true,.most people just think "mustang" fast

[@mckookie2967]

Seth Imola WHen the car looks this good nobody gives a shit tbh from my experience with it for almost a year now, except on the internet of course
