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.

  • You Get What You Pay For! - 2002 Ford Mustang

    I bought this car as a "fun" car. I find it a pleasure to drive, especially with the top down. The V6 is one of the best in its class and has plenty of pep.If you want to race, buy the GT.Yes it has inadequate storage, thats not what its built for! Its built for pleasure, not hauling the family.For the price,I dont think you can find a better looking, more reliable convertible.People might immediately shout Sebring.My answer, buy a Sebring if you LOVE your service mangager, because youll be seeing alot of him.Been there, done that!Ford has done a good job of putting all of the essential options into an affordable package.

    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.

    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.

  • Best car ever - 2002 Ford Mustang

    I purchased the 02 V6 Mustang because my insurance went up due to the horrible crash history of my 2000 ZX2. I gained almost 50% more hp for about the same monthly payment and, because its a V6, my insurance only went up $40/yr. Niether one has a back seat, but now I have tons more leg room and a significantly better-driving vehicle.

  • An American Legand Lives! - 2002 Ford Mustang

    In the past I have had and driven my share of cars and I can tell you that my Mustang GT is by far my favorite. My other friends with their Hondas, Acuras, and Toyotas only wish they could keep up. Plus with over 300 pounds of torque, you can burn the tires until the cows come home. You cant beat American Muscle.

  • First Time In A Mustang - 2002 Ford Mustang

    Im 47 and just bought this car for some driving fun. It hasnt disappointed. The 5-speed shifts very smoothly. The engine growl is very pleasing from the inside cabin, even though it could be a bit louder from the outside dual exhaust. The Mach 1000 stereo is awesome. The ride even though stiff, doesnt bother me. I knew before buying the car that everything would not be perfect, but what is? In my opinion, the car rides great, sounds agressive enough, has plenty of power for my driving habits and is exciting to drive.

    Great car

  • What a blast!! - 2002 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My first car in 1979 was a 65 Mustang coupe my dad sold to the little old lady that I purchased it from new. I debated on whether or not to spend my money on vintage or new but not for long once I drove the new. This car is pure joy to drive around town and on the open road. Go 5 speed (I live in city and its no big deal.) Only use 1st occassionally, normally starting in second (try it).
