The Ford Mustang S197 II is a generation of the Ford Mustang that was produced from 2010 to 2014. It was based on the Ford S197 platform and featured a more modern design and improved performance compared to its predecessor. Ford re-used the S197 platform and facelifted it in order to save costs and avoid the risk of a new model being made. The 2013 - 2014 models were admired for their refined exterior and interior design and offered enhanced technology and comfort features.

This is my 2014 Ford Mustang, it has the well-known 3.7 Cyclone V6 Engine. Driving this car has been a blessing, I feel connected to it, and I always try to find a reason to drive it; therefore, the gas mileage isn't the best, but it's worth it for the driving experience. My main goal was to get the S550 (6th generation)* Mustang, that had all the premium features, but the units that could fit my budget were either base models or beaten and high mileage 4 cylinder units, which having a high mileage 4 cylinder turbo* engine could mean that it could become a potential headache. After searching a while, I found this car, where it had a great condition, and mileage. It was also a Pony Package premium trim where it did have the features that I was initially attracted to; therefore, I went to Victoria to pick up the car. This car holds a very special value for me, and I am very thankful that it entered my life, I also felt like it deserved its own mention in this website.
