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.

  • Good Car - 2002 Ford Mustang

    We had a 98 V-6 Mustang and this new GT blows it out of the water! Massive improvement on power compared to our old car. Too many people want to race us now! Ride comfort is good and it has a good sound system.

    Performance is not as fast as the Camaro/Firebird V8s; but with a little tweaking you can hit that 300hp line and be right up there with them. As far as comfort; well the 5-speed stick is quite a reach to get to; the most comfortable place for it would be where the first cup-holder is. Same with radio controls; they are very hard to reach. The driver/passenger seat also do not recline very far.

    I bought my 02 GT in August of 04 and Im loving it. Ive had no problems mechanicaly or otherwise. I wish it had a little more handling than it does but the overall affect is awesome. I get about 24-26 mpg at around 70-75 mph which is just under 2000 rpm. Im 64 305 lbs and Ill be the 1st to testify that this the sports car for us big guys. Imports are cool but a Miata or Integra are too small for someone my size

    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.

    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!

  • 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!

    I love this car, its so fun to drive! Gas mileage could be better but thats a sacrifice you make when you drive a sports car. Drives great, comfy seats, beautiful exterior.. definitely brings out the inner racecar driver in you!

  • eh - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    First off, I overpaid for the car by about $2-3k. Which wouldnt be a problem because I love the design of the car, and the constant attention it gets. But the car loses value at an unacceptable rate. Its honestly sickening, its been sitting in my garage for 4 months and its lost over $2k in value!

  • Finally got my mustang - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Though I have only had my new mustang for a couple of weeks I am enjoying it immensly. It has just the right amount of get up and go and is good on gas. I purchased a stock coupe with an automatic and it has everything I need. Its a real pleasure.
