LOVE my V6 Premium.. It's everything and some and when I need the horsepower.. It jumps without a hitch.

@Freestylr88 9 лет назад

I agree with you 100%. I also have a V6 Premium and its great! ^_^

@andrethebest701 6 лет назад

All you people out there shaming this car are wrong! of course the 5.0 is better but I daily drive my '14 with 40,000 miles already and it works great (with a manual.) Also I get 32-33 MPG on the highway so no complaints at all

@bmwncadillac6132 9 лет назад

41k on the 13' V6 so far coming up on 3 years this June.

@cerebrix 11 лет назад

you wouldnt want to. the weak link in our car is the driveshaft. which spins itself apart at about 120. but once you replace the ds with an aluminum 1 piece for about 500 bucks, you can get the limiter removed and unleash hell =p

@e84LOL 11 лет назад

So far we put 27k miles on our '13 V6 Mustang and have done 5 oil changes and had a rear sway bar link replaced under warranty. So far so good. No CEL or any other problems, though it needs a new air filter (no biggie) and I plan on having the spark plugs replaced just before we hit 30k miles.

@RobDamnImFine 11 лет назад

Isn't is weird that some of the newer cars have to have their sway bar endlinks changed so early? But glad you love it!

@sfgiantpoet 10 лет назад

compared to the 08 the steering is absolutely slippery, but you can really take this car up.. .i love mine

@cerebrix 10 лет назад

the reason for it is the driveshaft. the driveshaft they put on the car rips apart at 120 mph. search here for videos of v6's on dyno ripping the drive shaft in 2. now that said, you can swap the shaft for a 1 piece, pull the limiter and its 150's all day

@V6MustangPerformance 11 лет назад

Nice Video!

@quatre5555 11 лет назад

i was surprised to see it was limited too. my '04 tiburon can do 140. speed isnt everything i guess since either one is illegal to do on the road anyways.

@fread51 11 лет назад

you just made that up went 140 in one this pass weekend

@Blackhawk6699 12 лет назад

love the mustang

@wranglerlife4ever42 11 лет назад

Nice!!

@butterpoop 11 лет назад

yes and no it's debatable. Yes, there is a video out there from AM however Ford determined that it was a factory mistake and replaced his driveshaft for free. Personally, once I get a Bama tune I might switch out for a one piece all aluminum for peace of mind but also weight reduction

@ProfSnipes1 9 лет назад

I love my 13!!!

@newjdm 11 лет назад

Why is it speed limited to 115? Interstate fun goes right out the window.

@SeanKimStyle 12 лет назад

Would V6 mustang be more reliable than the GT 5.0? I'm buying one soon, but I just can't decide if I should spend more money for more horse power, but I'm coming from 200 horse power. So 300 is a huge jump too.

@ksegura14 12 лет назад

the reason why it's limited is because if it hits 130ish mph, the driveshaft will explode.

@JosephCee 9 лет назад

the poor man's 5.0, no shame.

@BahhJustaLamb 11 лет назад

wonder if you could remove the speed limiter..

@MidagedgamerBlogspotter 8 лет назад

My friend has a sweet '14 V6 Premium with the performance package and some factory custom touches. Sweet car but still would be nicer with a coyote under the hood.l

@e84LOL 11 лет назад

@jsal, you do know that the base v6 Camaro's are heavier than the v6 Mustang, don't you? Weight is the enemy.

@RainbowConure 11 лет назад

Have they announced when they'll stop producing the Mustang?

@AQCE245 11 лет назад

i want to get the gt v8 premium it the one that has the california special package i'm going to change the exhaust to a slp loudmouth

@cantfindaname1396 10 лет назад

does anyone know please how many gallons does a v6 premium hold in its tank?

@inachu 10 лет назад

Ditto on the drive shaft upgrade if you really want to speed. Saw that video of the driveshaft tumbling out. of the car.

@RayLaskyOutdoors 11 лет назад

Tuner, and I hit 157 stock shaft performance package

@Fr8lb 11 лет назад

what is the best mustang 2013 or camaro rs 2013

@charles43110 11 лет назад

YOU WOULD THROW YOUR DRIVE SHAFT @ 135mph driving -a few FORD Hi Performance company's do make an alloy HI PERFORMANCE Drive Shaft conversion & if a V6 High Performance package "13" V6 is parts upgraded & the limiter turned off the car can do about 155mph for about $35,000 really well trimmed & w/lots of after-market performance upgrades & POWER option's installed

@syvarris467 11 лет назад

The SS does yes, pay attention to models and trims.

@biscuitninja 11 лет назад

It is speed limited because the driveshaft is WAY too long and it destroys itself around 135+. Pretty much a design flaw.

@newjdm 11 лет назад

I guess I'm not really looking for a technical answer, but rather I'm simply stating that it is *very* unfortunate. It's fun to open it up on the interstate, I mean, track, once in a while.

@bmwncadillac6132 10 лет назад

I'm almost at 32k miles on my '13 V6 -.-

@newtaurus1 11 лет назад

Sorry about that bro didnt mean to go so hard v6s are decent too yeah i use to own a v6 stang got a 8 cyl and it changed everything yeah i know we have to get what we can afford doesnt matter so long as it is a mustang

@GTR24 7 лет назад

those leather Recaro's !!!

@twistedwired 4 года назад

Really?

@skybluemarshall 11 лет назад

The drive shaft issue is greatly exaggerated. I've read plenty of blogs from guys with tuners, who logged 135mph without losing a driveshaft. I've personally watched several RU-vid videos of guys doing about 150mph in a 2011+ V6 Mustang. I'm pretty sure they all had a $690 one piece aluminum drive shaft and they must've have a $380 tuner, to remove the speed/rev limiter. Not bad for a $22,200 car, with about $1,100 in aftermarket upgrades

@RayLaskyOutdoors 10 лет назад

Cerebrix that is BS! Have this car limiter off 140 for 15 minutes plus twice a week in rural Nevada. The shafts broke because of gearing, anything north of 3:31 you need a one piece like shaftmasters ect... Anything stock 2:73 or 3:31 no problem

@PainCakeSoldat 11 лет назад

250 km/h and yes.

@newtaurus1 11 лет назад

Aint nobody got time for no v6 we want to here v8s yo

@ksegura14 11 лет назад

why would they? only way you can get to 130 on a '13 v6 mustang is by tuning it, when you buy it straight out of ford its limited to 112mph and it wont explode then... do you not understand?

@GKUgaming 11 лет назад

the V6 convertable 16-27 thousand dollars

@undertake782 11 лет назад

Wait! However, if you can afford the V8, you wouldn't bother with watching this review now would you? The V6 is the Economical Mustang. You act like the V6 is inferior when you don't even have one...

@Sherizati 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure the car was speed limited due to the poor drive shaft.

@GKUgaming 11 лет назад

Regular about 22-23 thousand

@browan582 10 лет назад

16 gallons

@itschallenger 11 лет назад

Nah, I keep trying to go faster than 115 but the engines shuts down at 115.

@Abcaabca920 11 лет назад

and how long does it take to get there?

@officernate4460 11 лет назад

ive gone over 140 in my v6...2013 and ive had no problem yet...its really smooth at speed to...look at it on my channel!!!

@jeep661c 11 лет назад

can you name one thats under 30k

@ADD8oi 11 лет назад

This car weighs 3523lbs....that is not at all heavy for a pony car. Hell with a rear seat delete kit and performance parts you're looking at around 3450lbs...without driver

@OutdoorAesthetics 10 лет назад

@mustangtibor 11 лет назад

v6 or v8.. your 16.. it will be tremendously high. You need a honda or smaller car for a first car, these have too much power for someone your age.

@newjdm 10 лет назад

I'm sure there's a solution, but it's too much work for a brand new car. Imagine paying $30K of your hard-earned money for this car and then trying to figure out how to make it do that. If you're a mechanic, maybe it's not a big deal, but for "most people" who just enjoy driving, it's a bit of a problem. Why can the Focus ST go 155mph and this Mustang can't. It's a rhetorical question.

@rotart12arx3 7 лет назад

First the car without a ton of options, just the performance package and the tech package had a sticker about 26K. With discounts you could buy the car for 22 to 23K. It is easy to delete the limiter and then you have a 140 to 150 MPH car at a bargain price.

@RayLaskyOutdoors 10 лет назад

Tired of the driveshaft BS, TAKE MY 2014 pp over 140 weekly in remote Nevada desert. Stock shaft! Did 120 to 145 for 15 minutes multiple times! Stop

@lfsracer79 11 лет назад

300 hp European cars do 155 easily...

@grapeeggplant3863 7 лет назад

its a V6 there's nothing cool about it at all

@samuelsawyer5967 7 лет назад

Daniel Five-Oh bro it's so much fun to drive. Unlike the 5.0, the handling and overall feel of the car is lighter and faster around corners. There's nothing slow about the 3.7.
