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.

  Good solid little car - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By car lover - August 26 - 2:00 am

  I like the car. It is a great deal of fun to drive. The interior is reasonably comfortable and the controls and displays are laid out quite well. It handles well except over bumps(the solid rear axel has to go. The engine performance is OK not great. A 3.8 liter v-6 engine should be providing at least 220 HP. The engine is also unrefined, could run a little smoother and less noisy.

  6 to one, half dozen to the other - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By bigfly - August 16 - 8:53 am

  We had the car for a month or so until we noticed the ground effects in the front were warped. We were told by Ford that we could either leave it alone or have them replace it.I elected to leave it alone. Overall, we were impressed with the acceleration and amenities of the car, along with the build quality of the somewhat dated interior. We were happy with the looks of the car and the Mach 460 sound system whether the top was up or down!

  Fun Fun Fun! - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Lauren - June 8 - 9:40 pm

  I bought my convertible GT in Febuary and fell in love. She had less than 25,000 miles on her when i bought it. Very reliable and very fun to drive. She really has some pick up and go! Not only is the convertible fun to drive, its fun to play with as well! I have flowmaster mufflers, a cold air intake, and various other modifications. The cool thing about mustangs is that its not just a car, it can be a hobby.

  Love my Stang - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By dcstang - June 3 - 5:57 pm

  I have always wanted a convertable for my long commutes home. This is real therapy. I love my car- it has been very reliable. No problems AT ALL from 60-110,000 miles Ive had it. Soon it will need some maintanence, but probably expected. Gas mileage could be better, but its an older car with a TON of power under the hood. Pretty comfortable, but the back seat is impractical for adult use. I think only small kids actually fit. Good sized trunk for the size of the car and it always feels safe. I like the traction control feature and the handling is superb. Its an easy ride, although mine is a little loud which makes it difficult to hear sometimes. Its been a great ride and lots of fun!

  Great Car! - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By coloradodano - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Overall, a very fun car. Jet black w/black interior looks sharp! Handles great, love the way it corners. The V6 is pretty good, and given the cost of insurance for the V8, its very acceptable. The MACH sound system is fantastic!

  Dark Horse - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By James Little - January 7 - 10:05 am

  I bought my Mustang used. I have always loved the Mustangs. The only problem I had with mine is somebody changed the rear end oil and didnt seal it properly. I had to replace the gears and lsd. I replaced the 3.27s with 3.55s. Amazing. I have alot of mods: intake, exhaust, gears, suspension, rims, tires, shifter, audio, hand held tuner. The car responds well to mods. Through on an Eibach Pro System Plus Kit with good tires and the handling becomes go kart like. I recommend buying a Swarr Bar for the rear axles if you have a GT. This will make the car more predictable on take off and in corners. Only true problem I have had is the traction control kicking in too fast. I just turn it off.

  Roar - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Roar - November 28 - 6:31 pm

  Overall this car is great for anyone. It doesnt have 350 horses under the hood but its got so giddy up. Its quick and always reliable. I have owned a Pontiac Trans-Am and this Mustang GT and by far I like driving the GT.

  Great Car - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By Tim Smith - October 23 - 4:03 pm

  I have had my Mustang GT now for over a year. I bought this car based on a lot of the reviews I found on this very site, which led me to want to write my own. My review is this: What a great car! Havent had a single issue since I purchased it. The V8 runs fantastic at 79,500. Car handles well and the ABS/traction control work great. The build quality is as advertised, excellent. No rust, no broken plastics, no faulty or cheap electronics. Everything works and works well. The Mach360 stereo rocks like the day it was made. The 6 cd changer acted a little funny the first time I used it but since then hasnt had a single problem (the person I bought the car from didnt use it.)

  This pony is a gelding - 2002 Ford Mustang
  By isleofdogs - September 7 - 10:00 am

  I drove but didnt by the GT pony. Im 57" and found it to not have enough head room. The interior was very plain. My biggest problem though was the big drop in power when shifting into second gear. The car REALLY dropped out of its power band.
