Car Profiles - Ford Mustang

FORD MUSTANG

America's long living muscle car may be late to the party (it was first made available in 2004), but we get the better engines when it was revised in 2010. Both engines are no slouch but V8 is overall pick of the range.

The Good: Acceleration with either engine
The Bad: Heavyweight 

Price Range: P2,989,000
Our Rating: ***
