2013 Ford Mustang has been bred for one purpose: provide daily drivers with weekend-racer performance in a comfortable, yet affordable package. As usual, the Mustang is available in a variety of different trims. From the base V6 ($22,000) all the way up to the fire-breathing Boss 302 (42,000); there is a breed of Mustang for all walks (and wallets) of life. Our recent time with the top-shelf GT Premium V8 ($39,750) represents a fine balance of contemporary appointments and retro style, but our main goal was to see if Ford has managed to develop an even smarter pony.
The Mustang’s interior is well appointed, if not a bit barren. Large swathes of dash crash down in front the driver with little imagination or cohesion. Ford’s designers seemed to have glossed over simple ergonomics in place of a more retro-themed design. Both the tachometer and speedometer are housed in large circular clusters designed to recall images of 1960s ‘Stangs with bell-bottomed drivers, and afro-haired passengers. The seats seem wide enough to fit two, ensuring even the portliest of modern day pilots will rest comfortably. Interior of Ford Mustang 2013.
The 2013 Ford Mustang trots along with an impressive array of standard tech features, including Sync with AppLink, hands-free calling via Bluetooth, and a voice-activated music search. An optional electronics package ($2,340) includes voice-activated, hard drive-based navigation, HD Radio, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and Sirius Traffic and Travel Link, which provides various real-time information such as traffic (both on-route and nearby), five-day weather forecasts, fuel prices, and even movie listings.
aking an iconic car like the Mustang and bestowing it with a contemporary design isn’t a task we envy (actually that’s a lie, we envy it big time). But a quick glance at Ford’s latest breed shows a distinctively stylish and well-thought-out look that will appease longtime enthusiast and newcomers alike with its aggressive exterior, and host of retro styling cues.

Powertrain options for front-engine, rear-wheel-drive 2013 Ford Mustang consist of the base model’s 3.7-liter V6 (305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque) and the Mustang GT’s 5.0-liter V8 (420 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque). Drivers can also pony up for the even beastlier Boss 302, which builds upon the GT’s standard V8’s power output by belting out 444 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque.
