2026 Ford Mustang review

Ford Mustang: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.6/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Ford Mustang sits near the top of its class. Strong brakes; engine note that rewards the throttle. Limited cargo space and premium fuel recommended, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $34,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Exactly what we needed

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the steering feel still impresses passengers.

Great daily driver

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Jenna L. · Portland, OR · 25 months owned
Exactly what we needed

Replaced an older Ford with this one. Big step up in steering feel; I'd like a little more trunk space.
