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.

  • 8 cylinders so you can hear me coming. - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I bought this car for the V-8 power and excitement. The leather and power was just to show off for the girls. It leaks in the car wash. Its noisy as all (blank) due to the flowmasters. It has cowl shake. The rear suspension is crap, but it puts the power down, and thats the point. Its loud and proud, its fast, and it eats the lunch of most challengers, especially those snippy hondas. If I wanted nice, I wouldve gotten an Acura.

    Extremely stylish exterior. Not too bad on gas considering it is a sporty car. Stops on a dime, and can get to 60 in no time. Also, I moved a while ago and I was able to pack a lot more in than I had originally thought I would be able to.

    I purchased my Mustang GT Conv. over a year ago. So far it is the best car I have onwed, over Camaro, TransAm and Honda. It handles best on the market and blows the doors of most other cars. The back seat is quite small but is far less noiser than any other convertable I have owned.

    With a V-8 and an exhaust that tells people that you are coming this is a really fun car to drive. Ford really did a good job of providing a car with a very nice power to dollar ratio.

    I get classic cars and that is what I like . Until I found my gt .well I did some thing I would never do .I traded my 1964 ford galxie 500 in great shape .but I did find my mustang gt 2002 . I thing is the best year I have found .I looked at a lot of them and found the 2002 to be like a tank yes its built that good .so I did find a classic .and I like the idea of having the 289 ci I loved that motor when I was a kid could not kill that motor .so I do not have a bad word to say .I found the classic I was looking for to keep for many years. thank you so much. ford you out did yourself.

  • Fun American Rear Drive Muscle Car - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My 2002 Mustang GT Premium Coupe is brand spanking new, with only 100 miles on it at the time of this review. This is my first Ford, so I cant comment on the reliability. What really drew me to the car were its styling and value. I love the exterior, but am not too crazy about the interior. The value is unbeatable; I couldnt find anything comparable in power or features anywhere near the price. Im looking forward to lots of good times with this American legend.

  • 4th Mustang Now - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Yes, you could say Im a mustang buff. Ive had V6s, GTs, convertibles, and a cobra. My current car is a fully loaded 2000 mustang gt. Completely a blast to drive, and looks good when its clean. If youre buying this car for ride quality, forget about it. Solid rear axle muscle cars arent meant to feel like youre riding on a cloud--theyre meant to tear up the pavement as fast as you can drive them. Get in, step on the gas, and have fun racing some camaros.

  • Rattling Piece of Junk - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I ordered/bought the 02 Premium GT in Jan of 2002. The car rattled from every seam in the vehicle, the cd changer had multiple problems, and Fords Service Dept is basically useless. I sold the car with 10,000 miles on it and took a huge loss. Dont buy one!!

  • Worst Ford ever owned - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I bought it in September of 2001 and it has already been in the shop 5 times. I noticed that there was a rip in the back seat. The car had a bad sincer within the 2nd month. When I am rolling the window down or up there is this very LOUD squeeking noise. I can not take it through a touchless car wash because it leaks. If that is the case then Ford should have their sales people explain that to the buyer before purchasing the car.
