Half way thru 2023 and it’s still a fckn beast

[@Insufferable_Furry_Trash]

Probably the best body style of the Mustang.

[@marcotoni231]

no way bro, 1999-2004 is the best body style. fact

[@allahuakbar7247]

+marcotoni231 looks good , but so outdated :/

[@capricorn0322]

Best looking......... Falcon gen, without second thought,

[@OneworldOnelove36]

Great review. Probably the most detailed car review I've seen. I love the Mustang and want one for myself. It's my dream car.

[@ReidG_RN]

OneworldOnelove36 They're incredible cars! Just something about these 3V GT's that you just can't beat.

[@philhenderson5748]

I HAD A MUSTANG YEARS AGO, BUT THESE MODALS HERE IM GETTING ONE.🔥🔥🔥

[@ArcadeGames]

So you are telling me to start the Mustang all you have to do is put the key in the ignition and twist the key??? Holy crap, I thought you had to pop the hood and stick a screw driver on the starter terminals! Just kidding lol.

[@killcha_in]

He was probably just saying that cause push to starts a thing lmao

[@1CITRADREAM]

He must of been around the early 60s mustangs.A trick with a carb,cardboard in front of radiatior in winter.And yes screwdriver across solenoid 😉

[@doyleholloway1818]

I JUST PURCHASED THIS SAME 2006 MODEL MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE G.T ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SILVER COLOR EXCEPT THE INTERIOR IS LIGHT GREY IN COLOR... ITS HAS A TOTAL OF 14,365 MILES ON IT AND ITS LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR... BOUGHT IT FROM A PRIVATE PARTY WHO JUST PURCHASED A 2013 MUSTANG 5.0... I LOVE THE SOUND OF THE 1000 WATT SHAKER 6 CD AM FM RADIO WITH BUILT IN 2X10 INCH WOOFER SPEAKERS...I LOVE DRIVING THIS CAR ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY..

[@davidburke1352]

Doyle Holloway what did you buy it for?

[@syndan9245]

David Burke I THINK HE BOUGHT IT FOR A FAIR PRICE, IM NOT SURE WHAT THAT PRICE WAS BUT HE SEEMS LIKE A GUY THAT KNOWS STUFF. LIKE WHEN HE HAS CAPS LOCK ON

[@Hands4Surgery]

"I would not get a stick shift ". LOL! You need to drive one man! And you'll return your automatic to the dealer the same day!

[@ReidG_RN]

+Hands4Surgery My daily driver is now an '07 GT with the 5-speed manual, and I'm very glad I went with the stick. Much more fun.

[@danielgilazar4088]

I'm learning how to stick and I'm almost there...but I don't like stick...is really nothing special just a 3rd pedal and a stick. But meh to each their own

[@BlakeCodGuy1]

@@danielgilazar4088 in a fast car it’s so much fun. I wouldn’t want to drive like a suv in stick lol

[@skunkfu6ultimatee]

All around, this car is pretty darn handsome. The one problem I have with it, however, is the back seat. There's hardly any leg room.

[@silvaniancu5880]

It depends on how tall are you , i think that the reviewer in the video is 6'minimum . I don't know why all guys reviewing mustangs are taller than usual people :))) . I'm not so tall at 5'9 (around 176cm ) and i would really like to know how would i fit in the back seats of the mustang . In Europe there are not many mustangs so i can't just go to a dealer and seat in one of them .. :(

[@DEPDelight]

@@silvaniancu5880 you would fit totally fine, i put my 6,0 friends back there all the time no problems

[@publikenemi49]

Not designed for rear leg room. Every mustang I can recall back to the 1980s lacks back seat comfort .

[@johnsimpson4542]

I also have a 2006 GT premium convertible (Black w/red interior, red Stripes). I have put 60k on it, no problems. This is my favorite post-classic Mustang. I was tempted to get a new 5.0 for the added power, but like the look of the S197 better. My brother worked on the exhaust for this car at Ford NVH in Dearborn.

[@travismccutchan3144]

At first I thought you meant you put $60k in it, and I was racking my brain with how many after market parts you must have on it 😂

[@baderalbuloushi8369]

Boost (turbo or supercharger).. power solved and kept the style you wanted

[@kaybee31217]

This car looks almost just like mine. Mine has black leather. Good explanation of the car. This is the best car I've ever driven. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. This car as well as mine has a satin silver paint that looks kinda rat rod/Shelby muscle, very sexy. I give it a 10+. Shaker1000 hits hard, love it. Steering response is amazing, it's a race car right out of the box. Sequential turn lights, that is cool. I can't say enough about this car, it'll make you feel some type of way.

[@ReidG_RN]

kevin Bridges I actually just traded for an 07 Mustang GT 5-speed manual and I couldn't be happier. Great cars!

[@importcarenthusiast]

WOAHHH!!!! i love the exterior driving shots

[@ReidG_RN]

Thanks! I thought they would add a nice touch to the video.

[@BowmanOverland]

To answer your question in the video info, yes it is. It's more nimble than the Camaro or the Dodge House Boat I mean Challenger, but still not very good at the curves. However, the Laguna Seca Model and Shelby GT500 model can actually handle quite well, but the rest of the line up is indeed a straight line queen. I don't know whether its Mustangs themselves, their owners, or a combo of the two, but I've never liked them. Aside from my personal views of the vehicle, your reviews have always been good, but they are getting much better. Keep up the good work man.

[@ReidG_RN]

I would definitely agree.

[@thomasmarquez6790]

Just bought one myself. It's a vert 5 speed manual trans. I'm use to driving a F250 with a 7.3l Powerstroke 5 speed manual granny low with 4:10 rear end as you can see in my profile pic. Alway wanted a GT a 90 model foxbody but hard to find. I love the foxbody looks but I like my 06 too. Love the way my 06 sounds but the sound of the 7.3l is bone crushing get the hell out of my way or you will get run over sound. The winding down of the turbo between shifts ensures you,you can pull a house down. So I guess you can say I got the best of two worlds. Great vid and love my GT!!

[@ReidG_RN]

+Thomas Marquez Thanks for the kind words man & congrats on the new ride! I just got an 07 Coupe with the 5-speed, and so far I'm loving it!

[@oEx0duSo]

I know this is a very old video but I am pretty sure that thing on the mirror is a compass showing which direction you're going.

[@publikenemi49]

We just bought an 05 GT with cloth seats. And glad we did. Leather seats in converts are not always good , especially black leather.

[@cjmfebruary]

First of all let me say that you did an excellent job reviewing this Mustang convertible. I own a 2006 Ford Mustang convertible. It is not a V8 GT but rather a V6 Mustang but I really enjoy it nonetheless. It is my dream car and I am thrilled to own it. I really enjoyed your video review of this car. keep up the great work!

[@ReidG_RN]

cjmfebruary Thanks for the kind words man! Congrats on owning your car. I'm sure it's beautiful!

[@budlight143]

Nice keeper system plug, we use them at work, i know its been eight years, do you still have the car? The hoods were aluminum correct?

[@ChrisHariis]

Find one with 100,000 miles and get a great deal. The 4.6 if oil changes and cared for run for 300,000 miles. Great car, fun and looks better than any Camry, Hyundai, Nissan. Any SUV. Just a fun car and reliable.

[@WifimoneyQ]

Seeing that whataburger sign made me hungry

[@TomHantzaridesDelray]

Thinking of buying a used 2006 GT with 73K on it. Looks like it's in excellent condition. Any thoughts on what to look for? Appreciate your help.

[@michaelmyersonrr9926]

Hey! I’m thinking of purchasing one soon, was wondering if you bought one aswell and if so how does it feel? Thank you.

[@TomHantzaridesDelray]

@@michaelmyersonrr9926 I ended up buying it 2 years ago. I was very lucky. The only problems I've had with it - needed to have the axle replaced. Also, make sure that there is not water damage. They are notorious for leaking into the cabin. I live in Florida and recently got caught in heavy rain for only a few minutes. Caused the smart junction box to short out. They don't make them anymore and it was very hard to find a replacement. Stiff ride - like a sports car. I have a 5-speed 4.8 GT. Very fast, tight steering, Somewhat noisy when the top is up (or down) but that's expected in a convertible of this generation. I must get weekly comments about the car. I keep it in great shape - dark blue with beige interior and top. If you want to upgrade the sound system I suggest a Pioneer. They have great units for these cars. I really did luck out with this one. Good luck!

[@jeepguy95]

my aunt has one, exactly like this, but hers is yellow with a black interior. the keypad is a ford accessory, but my aunt's mustang doesn't have it.

[@daveg9002]

Im trying to buy an 05 gt 4.6 3v wondering if they reliable or perhaps problematic

[@dave11686]

Very incredibly well done!

[@ReidG_RN]

Thanks Dave! Much appreciated.

[@BrandonHill1234]

When I put the top down on cars, I normally put the parking brake on, just for extra safety :)

[@ReidG_RN]

Haha thanks for the tip!

[@importcarenthusiast]

I love that color combo!

[@ReidG_RN]

As do I! Truly a beautiful car.

[@Mustangladyme]

You missed one. The instrument cluster will tell you too. A 6 will have 120 and the GT 150

[@IceAge20017]

But how's the legroom?

[@Blue99Si]

i'm currently in the market for one of these, but haven't decided yet on convertible or not. how much louder is the vert over your coupe? How about seeing out, blindspots etc.'

[@ReidG_RN]

+Mark Simpson It's considerably louder. I love the open top experience, but as far as visibility and wind noise goes, I'm very glad I have the coupe. Not to mention the convertibles are considerably less rigid than the coupes.

[@Blue99Si]

+RCGCarReviews too late. :-) I got a deal I couldn't refuse on a 06 GT Vert. 5spd and all the options, even the red/black interior. I love your in detail reviews. Keep it up!

[@ReidG_RN]

Thanks, Mark! Glad you found one you like, especially with the red interior. I'm sure she's a beauty!

[@yuribezmenov7623]

Great review

[@SuperH143]

I am thinking about buying this car now but i am really worried about the gasoline any advices ?

[@ReidG_RN]

Honestly, fuel costs aren't that bad at all. I spend roughly $200-ish a month in gas using 87 octane @ $2.00 per gallon. Very rough estimate, though.

[@kenplays1056]

I just got this same exact car a week ago and with gas prices in CA at $3 it's a little depressing. Fun to drive nonetheless lol

[@edwardsteinjolt3720]

you dont buy this car with gas in mind, my advice is dont buy it if you gonna whine about gas...go get an Mx5 or something

[@mattmayo3539]

That’s totally not aluminum on the dash. Lol.
