Ever had a desire for a sporty American coupe? Now is an excellent time to check out the 2016 Ford Mustang GT. This newest Mustang is civilized and packed with modern tech, but it still holds on to all the trademark swagger and performance that has defined it for 50 years.
Traditionally, muscle cars have come standard with a certain degree of crudeness, but today's Mustang is a global product with enough refinement to make even premium brands take notice. We're not saying the fun-loving Mustang has become a personal luxury car, exactly, but it's classy enough to make some Audi or BMW buyers think twice. At the same time, it retains the tire-smoking exuberance expected of an American performance icon.
The 435-horsepower Mustang GT has the performance part covered, delivering formidable acceleration in a remarkably smooth manner.
In general, RWD vehicles can sometimes have difficulty gaining traction on slippery surfaces, especially if they don't have winter tires. That being said, the Mustang GT is also equipped with traction control and stability control systems, which can help improve its traction and stability on the road.
Now we know that some of you might be thinking: "A Mustang in the snow? You have to be crazy!" We disagree! Though the performance coupe comes in RWD configuration, it comes with snow mode, which reduced throttle response and improves traction. With a set of winter tires, the Mustang GT is very drivable in heavy snow!
So throw away your preconceptions about driving a Mustang in the winter and have a look at our Mustang lineup at House of Cars!
