Black 2013 Ford mustang v6 sport.

I love everything about my 2013 mustang. I have not experienced any problems within my time owning. The performance is unmatched with the sport mode option giving the vehicle a faster and sportier feel. The leather seats with adjustable lumbar support makes for a comfortable ride every time.

Kim V

It's fun and sporty and affordable. People complain about the gas mileage but it's not that bad.

I love everything about the car. It's fast and sleek.

Shawn Hasty

The 2013 and 2014 in my opinion are the last two years before Ford completely ruined the body style.

I love my 2013 5.0 I love the look the torque and of course the speed. Restricting this beast is my only complaint. Im thankful that I can remove those wretched restrictions and run it as it was meant to be ran before our wonderful government had put their wrenches to it.

Ford mustang convertible the best.

Quality built, safe, easy to fix and great handling. Handles well on the road and have taken many long distance trips with it. Great for the summer and all year long in Florida. Have never had a problem with service either with ford. Great sound system and comfy.

Toniya D

Great car!! The maintenance has been low, not expensive, and very reliable.

The performance it great. I have had no issues with my car it is very reliable, it is sporty, comfortable for two people but has two back seat. The car has sync so I can use Bluetooth to connect my phone to talk and play music. The car also connects to my car garage so no garage door opener is needed.

Enrique D

That mustangs are the best and that I take it out to the track to race.

Love mustangs in general. Have it tuned and when engine roars it drives me nuts at how mean it sounds. Love it!

Tony M

Stylish Mustang convertible.

This has been a great car to own. Gas mileage 30 on the road 17-18 in the city. No major repairs in 50.000 miles.

Negative Owner Reviews

Rebecca P

Good exterior, average performance, not good as the only car in the household.

It is good overall, but it speeds up too slow. The quality is not bad, since I have only repaired it for like twice during the past 5 years. However, recently its water tank was broken and caused a heck of problems. I cannot drive it anymore since chances are engines could go broken if it fails to cool the engine down.

LaDeena C

The car is overall good but has some issues.

The car runs relatively okay as long as you keep up with the mechanic checks. The biggest issue we have had is that the Bluetooth connection to iPhones is subpar at best. It barely ever wants to connect to either of our iPhones. Also the plug for the aux cord is finicky.

Lisa B

Batman of Mustangs sums up the 2013 convertible. The body style is perfect!

There were (2) airbag recalls which were taken care of at no charge by the dealer. I really like the dashboard alerts like low tire pressure, miles until you need gas. I especially like steering wheel controls for music, cruise. Control. The digital hook-ups for phone, mp3 & all my devices are right there. Its low to the ground in the front so watch for deep driveways or you risk scratching your undercarriage.

Robert B

It's uncomfortable to ride in for long. Get something else if you are over 6ft tall and 200 pounds.

I like the styling and the performance. I dislike the interior room. It's not meant for large people.

Makenzie J

The pony package mustang v6.

Not enough room for my baby or other passengers, but is a very nice and comfortable car. This is a very smooth riding car, easy to drive and up keep is simple. Not very great on gas mileage but isn't horrible. Spacious trunk and very nice interior details.

WESTON L

Every part in the car is expensive.

It was great when I first got it, but lifespan is not very long on these cars. Once I reached 60,000 miles my power steering went out and everything else started going out after that. It is totaled without being in a car accident. Would not recommend if you want something to last.

James M

That it performs its function really well, despite its age.

I like that it's been quite reliable over the years. It was relatively cheap when I got it, and since it's held up so well, I haven't felt the need to get a newer one yet. As for what I don't like, the mileage is getting up there, so a trade-in is probably unlikely.

Travis G

Has incredible horsepower.

Brakes were in bad shape when I bought it. Also the interior liner is weak and fell apart fast. The engine runs very well but does not gas up as fast as I was told. The color is great, black has always been my favorite car color. The ac also doesn't work super well.

Performance package car

I wish with the performance package they had the brembo brakes too. But I added the 14" brembo's and had to get rid of that stupidly low top speed limiter, but I routinely can get above 30mpg and right now at 16k miles my lifetime average is 28+ mpg even with about a half dozen trackday events where I routinely get in the teens during those events. I added zero options other than the performance package and am very happy with the car, I likely should have added the recaro seats too for those track events, but overall I very much enjoy the car. This is my 8th Mustang, including a couple of Saleen Mustangs and several 5.0's from the 80's and my first of a 74' ghia mustang II, and a short lived 71 mustang with a 351. This one has been my favorite and even with its actual to the ground hp of just 299 it is better than the Saleens or any of those 80's vintage 5.0's. Of course the 6cyl haters will disagree even though at track events rarely can the 4.6 V8 keep up or even close and lots of fox bodies with stock or mostly stock 5.0's still lack the horsepower of this.

Things to know about the 2013 ford mustang.

Engine is fast and reliable. Comfort is ok, not the nicest seats but definitely not the cheapest. Came with power steering, windows, and seats. Heating option on two front seats. Has sync connectivity. The back seats a small but manageable, unless you are over 6ft. Medium sized trunk, and small rear window.

Pros from Owners

Tara B.

I love the rumbling of the engine mustangs have a distinct sound and I love their look and the way they drive is really smooth if you are on the blacktop. I have always been obsessed with mustangs and I love owning one.

Jodi A.

It runs great has keyless entry and start up great security features, great stereo system it links to my phone via Bluetooth for hands free calls, I am able to speak to my stereo and ask it to make calls or to play certain music, the safety features like airbags are top of the line, dent resistant doors great alarm system, huge trunk, starts up quiet and runs quiet I love it all around it's a perfect car for me.

Cons from Owners

Tara B.

It performs poorly in anything but sunny conditions, but it is a sports car so that is expected. If it is raining you hydroplane, if it is snowing you cannot go anywhere as you will slide. Gravel or grass terrain, hold on and buckle in.

Jodi A.

I wish there was more space in the back end of my car for passengers,there's absolutely no foot room for my backseat riders, but as for everything else I am a happy camper, there isn't one other thing that bothers me about my car that's why I chose this one, I don't often have backseat passengers but when I do they aren't very comfortable at all, the taller they are the more unhappy they are to have to ride with me.
