Is The V6 Mustang Worth It? | 2007 Ford Mustang Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Oh, the Ford Mustang. Is it still a fun car without that rumbling V8? Today we're going to discuss the pros and cons of buying a V6 Mustang rather than the beastly GT.
The s197 chassis made waves when it was introduced in 2005. Our particular test car in this video is a Torch Red 2007 Mustang Convertible. This little Ford is equipped with a 4.0L v6, and an automatic transmission. Certainly a different type of car than the performance focused models we love here at The Left Pedal! Regardless, just because the V6 Mustang doesn't have the "oomf" of a GT model, that doesn't mean it's not a fun ride.
With the exception of an aftermarket headunit, our test car is pretty much totally stock. We're going to go into how these budget muscle cars perform, feel, and look without any modifications. In today's car review, we're getting to the bottom of the Ford Mustang V6 vs V8 debate. We're answering the question, is the V6 Mustang worth it?

    About 10 years ago I went through a really bad divorce. About all I had left was a gas guzzling 4x4 truck and my kids now lived 100 miles away. I decided I would find an economical vehicle. I sat my budget at $13,000 (this was 10 years ago) and I couldn’t bring myself to get into a 4 cylinder sedan. So I ran a search and ended up at that time with a bunch of Impalas and Fusions. Kinda settled on the idea I’d end up with something like that. Then there was this ad for a 07 red V6 convertible (just like the one in this video). I wasn’t looking for a Mustang so much as a decent V6 car. So not being a GT V8 didn’t matter to me. It was good on gas so I bought it. It was perfect for that season of my life. My kids loved it and we have so many great memories from that car. It literally brought me out of a dark time and changed my life and my kids life. Loved that car.

    Got mine 2 years ago 05 v6 because I liked mustangs and didn’t know shit about cars. Now I’m a lot more into the car scene so a gt is next on the list but with that said my car performs and looks alootttt different than it did in 2018. Would be dope if I could engine swap it in the future but that’s not an option considering I’m a 17 year old workin at a fast food restaurant 😭

Got 148,000 on the odometer and she still purin like a kitten!

I like a four banger civic just as much as I like a v10 viper. It’s about appreciation. He’s right , I don’t want to impress some guy that hates v6’s. Those guys are never ending with their builds. At the end of the day there’s always someone with a bigger engine that’s always faster. I don’t want to keep up with the “mustang-onses” and I learned that from a kid. !!! Good job bud 👍

    It's not embarrassing in the slightest. He's not addressing the older guys that just joke around harmlessly, he was aiming more at the ones that turn their noses up and throw out a bunch of specs to make themselves feel all high and mighty. Not saying the younger ones don't do it too, but the older ones can definitely be ruthless to people just starting out with lower caliber vehicles. He was very mature about it and at his age he's right for calling it out as it's probably happened to him before as it does a lot of us.

I don't need to melt the tires at every stop light and I already have a BMW M3 track car. Instead of driving a Camry (and falling asleep while I drive) I bought the sixxer. Looks great, drives great and doesn't taunt me to buy speed parts for it.

It has been my favorite car to own. Its been reliable for both my dad and myself, They look great and feel engaging to drive. I learned how to drive stick in it with my dad teaching me so that obviously makes me a little biased but man I love it. Shiny black paint, two white racing stripes, a silver gas cap and 18" rims, and a stereo upgrade are all that has been done to it and I don't see myself changing much more. Thanks for the video man, makes me want to go out for a drive before I store it for the winter.

    It's honestly one of the best first cars to get. It's not a fast car by any means but for a v6, it's got some get up and go still. The thermostat housing always cracks but just get an aluminium replacement and your good. Parts are plentiful and cheap, and aftermarket support is amazing, platform is easy to modify and they are pretty reliable too so long as you maintain it like all things. I did a lot of suspension upgrades to mine recently, including lowering springs, GT500 front and rear control arms, shocks struts, new Panhard, tie rods, sway bars, and more. Handles more like a sports car should if you give it some love. Throw on a Flowmaster axle-back to give it some bite, and it's a fun cheap weekend or daily driver. I absolutely love my little v6 to bits. A simple car for simple means, and looks good while doing it. Next time tho, I'm getting either a 2014 GT.

With the right mods you can take one of these to around 400HP, and with the current low-ish prices, you can build one that’ll take a non- blown GT pretty affordably. The way I have mine set up, with a TR6060 manual, 4.30 rear gears, and plenty of handling mods, including a Watts link, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Just straight up fun to drive.

Its absolutely spotless with no rust underneath whatsoever, and the crazy part is that is mustang is exactly what i started practicing driving manual with and my god what treat that was. Sure some may hate that its a V6 but power isn’t everything plus a v6 sounds really good. But there will be people out there who will see a premium and compliment on how immaculate it looks! My dads getting his 69 firebird restored after all these years, and grandparents had cars from corvette t tops, to a 65 gt fastback 2+2 and 67 vinyl top. And lemme tell you what, the ‘65 was that one car that inspired me to get a mustang of my own, whether is V6 or V8, didn’t care what it was.

The floor boards were almost gone from rust (NY winters). My car with a stick has great pickup for local driving, and its low profile makes it great on Highways. Great car and tons of space in the engine bay when things like the Thermostat housing has to be replaced.

    I have an 07 4.0 V6. Premium. It has all of the bells and whistles, just without the V8. I was so skeptical at first but after 3 years of ownership, it still makes me smile. Ive modded mine to an extent that it sounds good, gets up to speed quick with new gearing, and I never really stomp on it to make me want to feel the aggressiveness of the V8. I'm currently building a 5.8 from scratch and will be swapping it into the Mustang in the spring. I don't want to follow the masses by doing the typical Coyote swap. Just have fun and do your thing.

    Just picked up an 07 Mustang 4.0L V6 (5-speed) for $2000 and it absolutely rips!!! Needs an alignment and some bodywork but other than that its a great car to rip around in.

    I love my 2006 V6 Mustang! Living in the Netherlands you don't see them a lot over here. I get loads of compliments on the car. Thumbs up from old and young people. I don't need a race car. Just a nice car for road trips and touring. I love it. It's a keeper and I keep it as original a possible. Although gas prices are horrible over here driving this car is such a cool experience.

    My biggest reason for buying a V6 Mustang is the OBNOXIOUS noise I hear on the road from other Mustangs. Some of those have V6 engines with rumbling exhaust systems. But most are V8's with even LOUDER exhausts. I'm retired and just want a fun car to drive to Sonic or DQ occasionally. My 07 Premium convertible with Pony Package in Redfire and saddle leather seats meats all requirements.

    I dont have any experience with the 4.0 V6 but my fiancee has a 2012 3.7 V6 "Mayhem Edition" which simply means that is has the front and rear control arms from a Cobra, suspension, brakes, strut tower brace, 6 spd manual and 3.31 rear end from a GT (yes, these could be ordered from the factory). I will honestly say that it RIPS. I drive a 2013 Mustang GT Premium and on some days we will swap cars and I am never mad when I'm driving her V6. It legitimately goes! She got this car for 10k with 58k miles 2 years ago and she never wants to sell it. Ford definitely did right by the v6 with the S197 models 4.0 and 3.7.

    Love my 2005 V6 mustang, i drove a 1962 Fairlane for twenty- eight years, turned every nut and bolt myself and made the car run twelve's in 1320 feet,,, 351, FMX and Locker,,, bulletproof Ford gear! Then after selling my 1962 Fairlane to a dude in Germany, my life was a bit empty,,,, in came the 06' mustang,,, Now way will it compete with my old ford but, with KYB upgrades to the suspension and sticky BF Goodrich on all the corners, this car is a blast on the country roads,,,,, Killer stereo, beautiful mettalic light blue "windveil"factory paint and a pony package added by myself, the car will remain stock save for a Transgo shift kit to make the shifts way more positive,,,,, IM SOLD ON THIS ONE! Take those crappy door panels to an upholstery shop and they can restore them,,, and the rest is good!

    I decided on a 2013 3.7 v6, which absolutely blows the 4.0 out of the water. It has 312 horsepower stock with 93 octane. With a good tune and fbo it beats the 5.0 coyote off the line. The fastest one right now has ~600hp and a 9 second ¼ mile. The 4.0 is still good, but if you're gonna get a v6 id spend a little more on the much faster and better 3.7. All of the mustangs are cool and should all be respected.
