Overview & Reviews

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.

• Strong V8 power with GT, fun to drive, appealing all-American style, good crash-test scores, ragtop option.

• Solid rear axle, excessive gingerbread detailing on GT, poor stereo ergonomics, flaccid seats.

  Great Daily Drive - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By scott221 - June 25 - 10:26 pm

  I finally dont need a family car and bought an 02 GT with 100K miles at age 50. It needed a little TLC. I added a radio, new COPs, a gear shift knob, + more. I love this car. I get better than 27mpg on the highway and 23-24 combined. The engine is smooth and has a higher power-to-weight ratio than any car or truck I have had. It took me a couple of months to tame this Pony. I changed the real seals, bearings, left axle, and c-clips. One c-clip broke and ground up inside the left axle causing that bearing to fail. The car is definitely a sports car. I have a Flowmaster catback and Nexen 3000 tires with Bullet rims. Other drivers taunt me on the road. I just smile and enjoy.

  Dream Car - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By fordmustang_27 - April 21 - 8:05 pm

  Simple put iv wanted this car since i was ten years ole. A couple months before i was old enough to drive i finally bought her. I got a 2002 mustang gt 5 speed manuel. Its a beatiful shade of red that goes perfectly with the edgy body style it boosts. I bought her with 62,000 miles. In the 4 months I had her i already dropped 3 grand into her with tasteful modifications. i put slp headers, bassani cat back which sounds awesome. tint in the back and chrome salean 5 star lug wheels. Also a couple other chrome accesories and looks sick as hell. Car turns heads everywhere i go. I get so much attention for it and i love her. sound system sounds good and performance is great. Great car.

  Fun Drive - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Robby - November 3 - 2:00 am

  I previously owned a 02 6cyl mustang and bought an 02 8 cyl mustang with the 5-speed transmission about a year after selling my 6 cyl. I got it when it had around 100,000 miles and have performed only routine maintenance in 10,000 miles. I was told it had the clutch replaced right before I bought it. I would recommend getting the 8cyl if you have the opportunity as it has been much more fun to drive. The trim was better shape than I would have expected for 100,000 miles. No leaks or rattles however my steering wheel and gear shifter were badly worn. Im not sure if this was from the previous owner or if this is common. Mach 460 Stereo has great sound. Drivers seat is also comfortable.

  modified gt - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By krzylry - February 11 - 3:37 pm

  Bought my 02 gt new as a retirement hot rod/project. It now is supercharged with 4:10 gears, drag radials, lowered suspension, modified exhaust, etc. Have done all the work myself and must say it has been a fun experience. This car will absolutely pull your head off and now handles like a slot car! Car is still dead reliable.

  Fun, Fun, Fun - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Cindy - February 5 - 9:40 am

  Love my convertible. Fun to drive and enjoy the power. If you have more than one child, makes for a challenge if they want to take friends somewhere. Not much trunk space. Looks good and sounds even better. Didnt buy the car for fuel efficiency, so gas mileage is not an issue for me. Multiple CD changer and sound system add to its appeal. Convertible top easy to operate.

  I sure miss my Stang! - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By glennt - December 27 - 10:00 am

  I purchased new GT back in March of 02. I was thrilled with the car in every way. Sadly, I only had it for about 3 months and 4,000 miles when some kid (without insurance) lost control on a wet road and t-boned me in the drivers side door at about 40 mph. The fire department had to use the jaws of life to pull the door off of my lap. However, all I came out of it with was 10 stitches in my elbow from the glass and a really sore hip for a couple of weeks. After I finally saw the outside of the car, I saw just how well it had saved my life. In conclusion, I had full insurance and will be getting the "exact" same color and model sometime this week.

  Decent Ride - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Adam - November 30 - 4:50 pm

  2nd owner at 40k. Sold at 72k. In my short time with the car I had no problems at all. It drove well and the only things I had to do were oil changes, battery died, and tires. I liked the look of the car. Interior was all leather and matched the car well. Only reason I got rid of it was because I live in NY and I cant stand driving it in the winter. Its RWD, and even with brand new snow tires and bags in the trunk it was still iffy. As far as driving it, it rode fairly smooth. needed a wheel alignment towards the end of my ownership so it got a little shaky but nothing terrible. I will say this though. I owned an automatic v6 3.8l and it was not fast at all. grab the GT stick if u wantspeed

  Very reliable - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Dan - October 2 - 12:54 pm

  I bought this car new in 2002 and have not had any major problem since. The engine check light came on at 30000 miles, I took it to the dealer and they replaced a sensor at no cost since it was still under warranty. I now have 90000 miles on it. It runs fine with basic maintenance such as oil changes, air filter and I change my fuel filter every 20000 miles. The car doesnt handle well in wet weather. Otherwise it drives very smooth and very reliable with very little repair cost (still on original battery, alternator, clutch, AC). I would buy another Mustang.

  I Enjoyed It - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By formermustangowner - September 3 - 4:18 am

  I purchased the 6cyl Mustang in 06 at 73,000mi as my first car and drove it about 13,000mi. It broke down twice, both times due to the alternator. The second breakdown was because an old alternator had been used to replace the first one and based on what Ive read reliability doesnt seem to be a common problem with this car. Other than that I really enjoyed the car the V6 had adequate power, although I would recommend the V8. I found that careful driving could get about 20mpg out of the automatic V6 Im sure a manual could be fairly economical. The car was fun to drive on short trips, and I never noticed any issues with comfort on longer drives. I would recommend this car to anyone.
