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.

  • 02 Mustang Premium Convertible - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Interior needs update, is old-fashioned looking. Gauge layout is blah. Seats have no lateral support.

  • Love my Mustang - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Ive loved Mustangs since I knew what cars were. This is my third Mustang and they never get old to me. I wouldnt recommend anything less than a V-8 though. Ive owned two automatics and my current 02 GT is a 5 speed. This car never gets old to look at or drive. You cant beat these cars for the money anywhere!!!!!!!!!

    This is my second Mustang, my first being a 1990 convertible 5.0. The improvement in quality is fantastic. This is a far, far better vehicle. The fit and finish, to date, are great. I have no qualms in reccomending this car to anyone.

    Overall its a very fun car to drive on smooth, twisty roads with the top down. Throw in the Mach stereo system and a lot of fun can be had. To get the most fun out of this car, it needs to be pushed: high revs and twisty bits of pavement will plaster a smile to your face. As far as practicality is concerned, this car leaves a bit to be desired. The trunk is small and the back seat is barely usable. Get this car off of smooth surfaces and squeaks and rattles abound. The FE isnt too bad for a V8. If youre looking for a fun, RWD, convertible that has great looks, a decent interior, a great sound system, youll probably be satisfied with this vehicle.

    Great car!! Fun to drive with great pick-up. I have already put 8000 miles on her in 4 months, and she is running great. I recently moved and she fit a lot more stuff than I had anticipated.

    All in all, Ford has put out a decent enough commuter vehicle and/or fun- car. As an owner of the 2k2 Mustang, I can say that its stock performance alone leaves you a bit wanting... you LOOK fast, but youre comparatively slow. However, very little money needs to be put in to make this a sleek and stylish vehicle for your everyday use (Namely, window tinting). And for those of you who plan to put some money into your stang, the modification possibilities are incredibly vast... so you can truly make your stang personalized.

  • My Blue Pony - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I am 23 and within reason, this is definitely my DREAM car!! I love the fact that I see all kinds of different people driving around in a Mustang-- frat boys, hot college chicks, moms, dads, even the occasional "Senior." This car is fun, fast and definitely an attention getter. I considered the GT, but decided the V6 was plenty of power and was told by a few other people that the little extra power you get is not worth the BIG insurance increase and frequent stops at the gas station. If you like to live life with the top down, this car will make you happy every day.

  • Good Looks/Performance, ok Build Quality - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    What drew me to this car is the great exterior design: The stance is good, the ride height is right on, the wheels are sharp, Mineral Grey color is gorgeous, I personally like the scoops. The acceleration is great for day to day driving, especially if you need to get around someone on the freeway. The handling makes drivingaround town fun. Ford puts a decent stereo in this car (Mach), but the exhaust note sounds even better. Im not too thrilled with the interior quality (seat foam, dash plastics that squeak), but I can live with it knowing what I paid for a V8.

  • The American Mustang - 2002 Ford Mustang

    This is the best car i have ever owned. It is fun to drive and all my friends fight over who gets to ride with me. In all reality it is only a two seater. Mustangs are the last of the pony cars and are a true American Icon.
