Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Ford Mustang V6

-Light for a Pony Car, it Still Feels Heavy

Weighing in at 3,501 lbs., the V6 Mustang shows its weight in the corners. Understeer can be an issue, as that weight combined with 305 horses means it’s not hard to make it push when cornering.

Our test car featured the $1,995 Performance Package, which includes larger 19-inch wheels and high performance rubber, not to mention sway bars, a strut tower bar, custom front springs and upgraded brakes. An impressive upgrade over the base setup, with much less body roll, the Mustang still can’t help but show its girth. Our wish for the next-gen Mustang is a diet.
