The 2017 Ford Mustang has plenty of muscle, make no mistake. But it's not the "pure muscle" car of yore - this coupe (or convertible) has plenty of refinement, from its road handling to its well-designed and high quality cabin. Edmunds.com has a new review and, while recommending the V8 engine option, assures that you can't really go wrong with any of the variants.

The rear-wheel-drive Mustang is offered with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Three engines are available. A 3.7-liter V6 engine with 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque is standard on the base Mustang. The EcoBoost and EcoBoost Premium trims step up to a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine generating 310 hp and 320 lb-ft. Fuel economy (2016 numbers) is estimated at 25 mpg combined (22 city/31 highway) with the manual coupe, 25 mpg combined (21/32) with the automatic coupe and 24 mpg combined (20/29) with the automatic convertible.
Finally, Mustang GTs pack a 5.0-liter V8 that cranks out 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy estimates from last year stand at 19 mpg combined (15 city/25 highway) with the manual coupe, 19 mpg combined (16/25) with the automatic coupe and 18 mpg combined (15/24) with the automatic convertible.
