A quick look at Ford's newest take on its classic muscle car
Driving Impressions
We put almost 200 miles on a 2010 Mustang GT outfitted with the manual gearbox and newly available 19-inch aluminum rims. Acceleration was immediate and ample, and the action of the five-speed's linkage was smooth; each gear change delivered a satisfying mechanical "snick." Based on past experience with Mustangs, we did not have high expectations for a smooth and quiet ride, but the 2010 Mustang benefits from new chassis bracing and a recalibrated suspension that yields a more refined ride and gives it more stick in corners.
