    No offense to s550 owners, but the 11-12 5.0 actually looks like a Mustang. S550 has aston martin fusion hybrid front end. Looks to eurotrash to me. S550 2018-19 rear end looks great though. But the 11-12 IS BEST BANG FOR BUCK. Take your Gen 1 shortblock and forge it, then add Gen 2 heads and cams plus a Roush or whipple on e85, and you have 800wheel solid axle practically indestructible monster good for 9's and last 150k miles. Sorry i am partial to 11-12 5.0. But it still looks like a mustang man👍

      I've owned my absolutely mint 12,000 mile 2012 GT for about a year now and I can't imagine ever getting rid of it. It's a Kona Blue 6 speed coupe 5.0 with a saddle brown interior. From what I can find out there was probably only about 100 of those cars ever made with that paint code and interior so it's a pretty rare combo. IMO the 11-12 mustangs are the perfect looking mustangs. They're the best overall look and blend between retro styling and modernity. 412 horsepower is nice too.

      +jennifer rice the reason they get that rep is because people try driving in snow on summer tires or some shit sll season if you have proper winter tires and can drive halfway decent it isn't an issue at all. just gotta change speeds according to the conditions...just be smart you can put snow tires on stock wheels and run different rubber for summer if you want it to be a year round daily. I plan to get one of these when I pay off my 16 fiesta st but it won't be my daily year round that's what my st is for.

    Dude, all S197s have cupholders behind the shifter. All you do is put the cup in the furthest one back toward the rear seats if the cup is in the way lol. Also I don't have those brake problems, might want to have a shop take a look at it.

    2011 was the last good year.. more balanced than my bmw at the road track. Premium kona blue with beige leather seats, sunroof, brembo brakes, nav.. FULLY loaded... I remember after I ordered it, I had to wait 3 months to get it when they first came out.... longest 3 months of my life! I think it was 40k out the door then? now it's like 50 or 60 for a mustang fully loaded. Do they have the sunroofs anymore? it makes the car complete.

    Yup. Cup holders are annoying. Seat motors are trash. One of the motors went out few years ago in my seat so now seat cushion does not raise up or down in the rear section.
    I guess the main thing I don’t really like about 11-14 is how unsupportive seats are. There is literally 0 bolstering on sides and when cornering its a slide show. I have TMI seat covers with new seat foam and it’s pretty much same result. Recaros are the way to go, but impossible to find and when you do find the price will be absurd.

    I have owned several fox and sn95 cars over the years the "issues" people have with these newer stangs aren't an issue at all for me. the interior is plenty nice for what it is. the trans is fine with an upgraded clutch (most of the problem) and proper shifter upgrades. the tranny itself has been known to take 600+ wheel hp no problem that is way more than the older trans were capable of so to me it isn't that bad of a trans...the issues lie in the stock clutch and shifter. I'm gonna get one of these when I pay my fiesta st off in a couple years the st will continue to be my main daily the stang will be my fun warm weather car I love these coyotes. I want 11-14 prefer 13-14 but 11-12 are almost as nice to me and can usually be had cheaper so we shall see. the ideal one I want is a 13-14 track pack premium coupe. I love the color on this one in your video it looks awesome. I'm gonna run a 17x7/15x10 forgestar drag wheel setup on mine you can shed a ton of weight, it looks awesome imo and it obviously helps alot with traction and launching not to mention tires for this setup is way cheaper than 18-20 inch wheels

They are not filled with technology and in my opinion they have the perfect mix of modern and classic. The 11 to 12 Mustang GT is my dream car and I cannot wait to own one.

    These 11-12 cars are practically bulletproof to 650wheel gen 1 coyote.

    Mustang is basically Ford's Corolla
    instead of Toyota's reliability
    it bets on big engine and loud sound

    You should have customized the car while at the dealer to YOUR liking, they have that option. You're just complaining about cosmetic details and nothing to do with performance. This is why aftermarkets parts exist and are available for everyone's needs, some they just like stock models. You just got another Thumb Down

      Because the performance is pretty solid...not a lot to complain about there. The point of the video for me was to talk about some of the things the real journalists would never talk about but actual owners would notice. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it but thanks for watching.

    10-12 are the ugliest s197 years, so much cheap unpainted crap. Might aswell get a 05-09 for the classic look or a 13-14 für the best looking mustang since the 60's

    I have the same car currently sitting at 140 thousand miles, and my seat motor has never gone out once. Just FYI
    Seems like you had some bad luck there
