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.

  • The Best - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Love it. If the base model could have a little more horsepower maby get over the 200 rang and the scoop could accualy do somthing then it would be the perfect sports car.

    Classic styling and great performance...a true pleasure to drive.

  • Great car for the price - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Its fun to drive and reliable (I have had to do anything other than normal maintanence). If you want a sports car that is easy to live with, the Mustang is worth concidering.

    a nice over all car. . Somewhat Sparten interior compared to lot of cars, esp from the East. Dated would be a good word. handles well enough for most people. And under power for me, though once at freeway speeds, with a concious effort on the gas you will go.

  • Best Top Down fun for the price - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    You cannot get more fun in a car for under $25K. Sticks to the road, just enough torque to feel racy, and a great sound system, with a muscular, punchy styling. This car is solid and remains tight. One exception: squeeky windows that the dealer fixed. But not a single other problem since October 01. Essentially, Ford focused on the things a buyer like me wants, so there may be some paint runs under the trunk, but who cares? Do I wish it had about 40 more horsepower? Yes, its not quite as fast as its looks suggest, but that is being picky. Buy the GT for a few grand more if that is your concern. Overall, a surprisingly great buy.

  • Mustang GT a Real Pleaser - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    The Mustang GT is a real head turner. The acceleration and handling are outstanding and the Mach 460 stereo system rocks. The car is surprisingly refined for a rear drive muscle car and the quality seems to be very good. I would recommend this car to anyone whom wants a sporty, agressively styled car with the retro look and personality of a sixties musclecar.

  • Dont buy standard GT, 2002-BEWARE!!!!! - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    BEWARE of the 2002-2003 GT Mustang Deluxe....it has an engine problem that the engineers "are still working on" it idles VERY rough unless you have the air conditioner on- then it settles down. Since you cant drive in the winter with the air on..it is a problem.The service dept. says it is with all standard GTs of those years. It is building up carbon...so take it in!!!!!!!!! They are replacing sensors and such,,,but to no avail! Mine is not the only one!!!BEWARE!!!!!you will hate it. it is junk. I bought it at invoice and am upset down by 10,000. They do not hold ANY value...BEWARE!!

  • You Get What You Pay For! - 2002 Ford Mustang

    I bought this car as a "fun" car. I find it a pleasure to drive, especially with the top down. The V6 is one of the best in its class and has plenty of pep.If you want to race, buy the GT.Yes it has inadequate storage, thats not what its built for! Its built for pleasure, not hauling the family.For the price,I dont think you can find a better looking, more reliable convertible.People might immediately shout Sebring.My answer, buy a Sebring if you LOVE your service mangager, because youll be seeing alot of him.Been there, done that!Ford has done a good job of putting all of the essential options into an affordable package.

  • V6, but plenty peppy - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Bought a 2002 V6 auto a week ago w/just under 25K miles, and its awesome! I didnt need a car that goes 0-60 in 4 seconds, but this car still passes plenty of "sporty" cars without much effort. Plus, its fun to drive and looks good, too. I usually buy imports, and just hope that F.O.R.D. doesnt really stand for Fix Or Repair Daily! So far, it hasnt missed a beat. Smooth ride, and not bad on gas.
