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.

  • Best commute ever! - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I am one of those poor bastards having to commute 50 miles up and down every day. What better way than to do it in a Mustang convertible! It sounds great (both with the top up and down), not in the least because of the great Mach sound system. My wife loves it too, especially when she straps the kiddy seats in the back (they actually fit!) and the girls sit there with the top down trying to keep the long hair out of their faces. You should hear them screaming "Yahoo!" every time she pulls up from a traffic light.

  • Coveted For 30 Years-No Disappointments - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Coveting for 3 decades can lead to one heck of a fall. This ragtop GT has satisfied my every childhood and adult expectation, unwaveringly. The car came out of the factory problem- free, as specced. Not a single problem has arisen in 6 fine months of ownership. Worried about reliability? Forget it. My 89 LX 5.0 has 149+k and is STILL kicking fast, fast, fast. Fit and finish are excellent, as are the price, peformance, steering, braking and handling. You want upscale luxury and similar features? Thats your problem. Ill take this Ford and retire younger. Live below your means, folks. The real fun is behind that chromed galloping pony.

    This mustang is awesome, (the convertible) except it has very slow pick-up rates. I seem to have to floor it for a few seconds before it even starts going fast. It is a little disappointing. Heres a tip:try not to use the air conditioning, because it drains the gas and lowers performance.

  • Only 2 small Complaints - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    First and foremost, I love my 02 Mustang GT. This car is a blast to drive. I have never owned a car that I have just loved to drive without any particular destination. My only complaints with my Mustang: 1. The manual shifter is positioned to far forward to be comfortable for frequent shifting. It would be much more comfortable if the manual shifter was positioned at the first cup holder or even the second cup holder. 2. THAT INTERIOR BACK WINDOW IS A REAL...YOU KNOW WHAT TO CLEAN. :-) Im really looking forward to the re- designed Mustang in 04 or 05.

  • Moving UP - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I first started with a 98 LX silver Mustang and have been hooked ever since... I like the body styles and the performance for the price... I wish that the car could be a little more spacious.. Im very satisfied with the quality and I never had any problems with my 98 which I put about 45,000 miles on, but my GT has had some minor problems its first year... I cant wait til the 2005s come out and I plan on either moving up to the Cobra or another GT...

  • #1 car - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I own a red 2002 mustang and its a dream i mean i love my car, sure its not a gt or a svt cobra but it is still faster than alot of cars out there that dont have changes made to them. i got in to a majore accident recently and i hit a person head on and i came out of the reck with nothing but my neck and chest hurting from the airbags, it is very safe for how i drive an fast enough to keep up with alot of cars but watch out cause it is a magnet for cops i know.

  • Good car - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    No real problems so far.

  • Bad vibrations - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My 2002 Gt has very poor ride on the interstate. The vehicle has a constant vibration at 70 mph. The car has had 11 tires replced and the drive shaft. The car still has a vibration coming from the engine. Ford motor company tells me nothing wrong with vehicle. I will never buy another FORD.

  • Like it but dont love it! - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car needs more power! I feel like I have to work way too hard to blow some very ordinary cars away! It took me until 3rd gear to finally pull away from a Toyota Avalon the other day...Thats Embarrassing! It also needs more room. Im 63" and the seat needs to go back another 2" and down another 1". Ford definitely has the best looking muscle car on the market, but it needs more power, err muscle!
