New member, couple of questions
Hey all!
I just bought a new 2006 Mustang V6 Coupe...I got the Pony Package, Handling Package, Interior Upgrade Package Etc...Its black and its awesome.
Reason I went witha V6 is the insurance on the GT was Nuts...and the V6 still has a nice get up and go, so I am happy. I will post some pictures when I pick it up tomorrow
Three questions...
1) I am a first time mustang owner...from what I read they seem like really reliable cars as long as you dont Bag on them 24/7. I was wondering if anyone knew of any chronic problems with the new stangs that I should keep an eye out for.
I came from a 99 Grandam GT...Replaced Powersteering Pump, Altenator, Lower Mantifold Intake Gasket, Head gasket, EGR Valve...and that was just the start....
I am really hoping this mustang is a good car.
2) when I open the door the power window moves down about 3mm maybe? then when I close the door it moves back up. Is this to releave pressure so the door closes easier?
3) I have the ability to change the interior display lights to 121 different colors...how do I do this?

1) I think most people will agree that it's reliable car. As is the case with every vehicle, problems do pop up, but for the most part it seems to be a tough pony.
2) The window drops slightly so that it can clear the molding. If it stayed down all the time, there wouldn't be a seal, and if it stayed up all the time, the the window would still be in the molding when you pulled the door open.
3) To change the colors, hit the setup button, and scroll till you get to "MyColor." There will be an option to "hold reset to change the color" or something to that effect. After it enters the edit mode, you can adjust the RGB values.
Hope that helps.

Congrats, these cars will suprise you. Here is a list of issues on the 06, you do not necessarily have these issues, but this is still helpful when dealing with dealerships:

what did you mean by that. suprise as in they are more reliable than I think? or they have more problems then I am expecting?

There is a category at the top of the FORUM menu that lists any RECALLS and TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS.
My 05 has been solid so far. I was not aware that the non-convertible models had the door window that moves down to close. I thought was a convertible only deal.

My salesman said that the window feature is intended to relieve pressure inside the car, which extends the life of the seals throughout the interior. He might have been talking out of his *ss, but I suspect he's correct.

What is the Handling Package did you get that from ford or is that aftermarket ?
