Standard equipment in the Mustang for 2006 and 2007 includes the 4.0 liter engine by Ford, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twelve valves. A 5-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Convertible arena.

The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The Mustang is 187.60 inches long, 74.00 inches wide, and 54.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 107.10 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the Mustang is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 60 months or 60,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the convertible market.

The listed retail price in 2007 (MSRP) was $30,520, with a dealer invoice cost of $28,058. This price is on target the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2007 Mustang is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.

The 2007 Mustang gets 23 - 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city. This is subpar for a convertible car.

We Think...

The 2006 model began the promise of the Ford Mustang. The 2007 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Ford hopes that the Mustang Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
