$28,899 (as tested)

Say hello to the new entry-level Mustang. With Ford electing to slot the 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder further up the pricing chart, the V6 coupe is now the cheapest Mustang you can buy. And for only $28,899, you get a well-stocked ’Stang that’s no slouch in performance department. With 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft torque, the 3.7L V6 and six-speed manual deliver good o ff-the-line getaways and plenty of passing power. Sure, it doesn’t have the glorious howl of the GT, but it’s easier on the wallet and almost as fast.
