The Boss 302 has taken much of the accolades for the Mustang family this past year, garnering awards from MotorWeek, Hagerty, Cars.com, Autobytel.com, Ward’s, Car & Driver and Automobile Magazine. The standard Mustang hasn’t been forgotten though. Today the Mustang GT was named by Consumer Reports as one of their ten top picks, winning the top spot in the sporty car category for the second straight year. Here’s what Consumer Reports had to say about the 2012 Mustang GT:
The heart of this iconic sports car has always been its strong acceleration and rumbling V8 power. But now there’s more to the Mustang than power. Agile handling, a decent ride, comfortable front seats, and very good fit and finish make the current version an inviting package. The Mustang delivers good fuel economy (22-24 mpg) for its class.
