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.

  • Fun to drive/poor quality - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Bought the car in 2005 with 33,000 miles. fun to drive but gets the same, 20/22 mpg,in city or highway driving. Needs on more high end gear ratio so car doesnt stop when you take your foot off gas. Interior quality is poor. Automatic door lock dont work and the plastic trim is falling off. I live in AZ. and the air conditioner is very poor in hot weather. Car overheats, and a really big drag on the engine.

  • Have had my GT for 7 months now......... - 2002 Ford Mustang

    This is my fourth Mustang since 1983, and Ford, IMO, continues to improve on quality and performance with each new offering. Hey, this great bang for your buck vehicle aint a Corvette or Camaro, but if you really need a Chevy killer, order yourself a new 03 Cobra. Some of the above reviewers express a dissatifaction with their new ride; youve got to thoroughly test drive and check for interior/exterior flaws before you sign the dotted line! I went through 4 new GTs on 3 different lots before I found one with a flawless paint job and mechanical operation. Hood and side scoops are fake - so what! They add to the overall looks of a great car!

    Love this car. Bought it for my daughter but she cant get the 5 speed down so she doesnt like to drive it in town. So I drive it to work since its good on gas. About 30 miles on the hwy each day. Gets really light in the back end at over 100. I see why the GTs have the spoiler.

  • Lots of miles, still cuisin - 2002 Ford Mustang

    I purchased my Mustang GT through Ebay in 2005 (had 45,000 miles), with excellent success. I drive the car quite often, with multiple out of state trips. The highway mileage is 27- 29 mpg (this at 80 mph!), the city mileage is 20-23 mpg (depends on AC usage). Im nearing 100,000 miles, with absolutely no issues. I would buy another Mustang in a heartbeat.

    Bought this car clobbered, was hit in side and warped like a banana. So I bought another cut them in half and put them together, quite a job but the car is one of the most fun to drive cars Ive owned, love the drop top. decent power. But sad to say I must sell her. I need the down payment for my 2003 cobra convt. Rock On FORD!!! Keep bangin them out!

  • Mustang kicks *** - 2002 Ford Mustang

    I have never owned a better car in my life. OK, sure, Im a little Mustang bias, since my last car was also a 1991 Mustang, but I wouldnt keep buying the same car if it wasnt satisfying me. The ride is smooth. The power is supreme. The look is dashing. What more could you want?

  • 3rd Mustang, The Best So Far - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I had an attack of patriotism so I had to buy American, also 3rd mid-life crisis! More comfortable than I would have imagined, corners great and I love the sound. A little clunky, but hey, its a Ford. Fast enough that you have to watch the speedometer. I drove from Idaho to NY and averaged 70 MPH, I got 24 MPG on regular gas! Whats not to like? A lot of fun for the money!

  • A few flaws but not bad - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    First of all, I really got a great deal on my new Mustang and highly reccomend Traedwell Ford of Mobile, AL. Went back to the Mustang GT after a few years off and it as sweet as I remember it. I could do without the caution tags on the visor that will not seem to come off. Also the stereo buttons placement on the stereo make it very hard to see the stereo display when you are making adjustments. I hate the seatbelt warning sound when you are not wearing your belt and that the seat will not lay back. Please remember that the good over lap the bad by far but just some things to consider before you buy.
