Standard safety features for all 2014 Ford Mustangs include antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags (chest and head protection), traction control and stability control. We've also tested the V8 with the manual, and it recorded an impressive sprint to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. A regular V6 with the automatic did it in 6.8 seconds, which is still pretty quick. In Edmunds testing, a V6 Mustang loaded with the Performance package and 3.31 rear axle gear ratio accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Opting for more aggressive rear differential gear ratios will reduce fuel economy. The GT has a rating of 20 mpg combined (18 mpg city/25 mpg highway) with the automatic and 19 mpg combined (15 mpg city/26 mpg highway) with the manual.

The more nimble Hyundai Genesis Coupe is also worth a look. Then there's the Dodge Challenger, which is roomier and potentially more appealing if a retro muscle car experience is what you're after. The Chevrolet Camaro keeps getting better and has a slight performance edge over the Mustang. Nor is the Mustang your only choice, of course. The interior still has its share of cheap plastic trim, while the lack of a telescoping steering wheel results in a compromised driving position for some people. Plus, for just about any Mustang model, Ford offers an impressive array of options, including suspension and brake upgrades, available Recaro sport seats and the useful Sync voice-activation system. The Mustang GT brings even more tire-smoking power into the mix with its 420-hp 5.0-liter V8.
