This Year's Model Updates:

Lower-line V6 models get standard 16-inch alloy wheels and a new hood while losing the fake side scoops. Premium models can be equipped with a Mach 1000 audio system. Both this system and the Mach 460 get speed-sensitive volume. Later this year, an MP3 player will be available. Performance Red paint is replaced with Torch Red.

Pros:
  • Strong V8 power with GT, fun to drive, appealing all-American style, good crash-test scores, ragtop option.
Cons:
  • Solid rear axle, excessive gingerbread detailing on GT, poor stereo ergonomics, flaccid seats.

  • Wow - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Perfect blend of quality and value. The interior is far more roomy than my old 97, though the back is still very small. Seems to handle flawlessly, with the exception of hitting a bump or a groove on a bridge while turning. Traction control is amazing, got me out of my parking lot uphill on glare ice where my old car would be running in place. Stops on a dime and you just get the feeling that it is an extremely safe car once you start driving it. Might not be the most gas-efficient but you will not find another car with this kind of performance that will get you 20/28 mpg.

    I love this car! Its fast, sporty, comfortable and a real head turner. Outstanding handling and pick up.

  • Good Value - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I bought the GT as a "second" car for fun and to be an owner of the most popular performance car ever. Its a good car - no big complaints. Acceleration is adequate given the factory gear ratio. Cornering and handling are merely average considering the weight of the vehicle. I got the Mach 1000 option and am only marginally satisfied with its performance considering the price ($1200). Build your own stereo system, swap the axle gears to a 3.73 or 4.10, add a Predator tuner, and buy a lowering/performance suspension system and youll have a great car.

  • Ford Mustang -- fun to drive - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car has definitely been fun to drive it handles great and has a lot of power. However, I just spent two weeks in a rental because of rust on the panel above my windshield. The seal was faulty and 3 months out of warranty. I dont suggest an aftermarket car starter. My car has issues with starting due to it. Other than that, I love it!

  • LOVING MY MUSTANG - 2002 Ford Mustang

    I finally got my Mustang and I love it. The car has been very reliable and I look forward to driving it in the future. Everywhere I go, people cant help notice this beautiful car. It really is a classic and I am very proud to have it.

  • 2002 GT - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    2002 GT bought in March of 2002 and I love every second of driving it. The only thing that is bad as far as Im concerned is how thirsty it is. But thats understandable cause I new what I was getting into when I was buying a V8.

  • Slow But Fun Stang Vert - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have a silver 02 v6, automatic Convertible which is so much fun to drive. But not a lot of get up and go from a stop, but has plenty of highway power. I should have either got the GT or a 5 speed for to dead stop power.

  • 3.8L V6 1998 Mustang - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    The Mustang is surely one of the best muscle cars in todays market. The design is very original and distinctive. Both the V8 and the V6 versions offer plenty of horsepower and make this car very fun to drive. Handling is good and predictable, but could be improved. The seats are confortable and the overall build quality is very good. The interior is stilish but the door handles are way too cheap. The trunk is surprisingly spacious and functional. This car is perfect for everyday driving.

  • Good Bang for your buck - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Since I have always owned V8 powered cars, including Mustangs, I was a little skeptical that this car with a V6 would have any guts or fun to drive factor. Well, I was wrong. It has good power and decent handling. The interior needs improvement as well as the seats no thigh or lateral support.

  • BEST CAR ON THE MARKET - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have had my Mustang for awhile and it was the best investment i have ever made. Its perfect if you are wanting a car that will really turn some heads or just wanting a all around great car for everyday driving. Everyone I know has let me know how much they like the car, but none of them like it as much as I do. It is and in my mind always will be the greatest car ever produced by any manufacturer. I highly recommend this car to anyone wanting a car with a perfect blend of looks and comfort.
