  • Ford GT Convertible 2009 - 2009 Ford Mustang

    An overall great car to drive and very, very fun. Tons of power and very responsive steering. I also test drove a convertible BMW 330i which also was responsive and great to drive but the Mustang won out due to the lesser cost and greater power. I have never owned a convertible but now I wont go back to a regular coupe. I cant say enough good things about this car.

    Bought a 2008 V6, traded it in for the 45th anniversary 2009 GT. Mustang has always been in my blood and Ive been wanting this car since it debuted in 2005. The 2009 has a cool 45th badge and mine comes with the GT appearance package. I love the retro style more than new 2010. So proud of this car. Amazing fun to drive. ADDICTIVE torque and super fast for the money. I always wished I had been young in the 60s, now being young in the new millenium feels pretty close! Great car great job Ford!

  • tired of the bad 6cyl reviews - 2009 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I originally wanted to buy a Dodge Challenger the styling on those are far more superior, but with traction control and an upgraded stereo system yikes almost $25k, the Mustang has all that but was far more affordable at $17k. Ford really gives you more car for the dollar minus less hp, and the fact it has no independent rear suspension like its compettitor. Besides a slight sluggish response in overdrive i find myself only hitting the gas so often and the car smoothly driving itself. The performance is smile worthy and is far better than previous mustang 6 cyls but nothing too extreme, the car thrives on the highway, country roads and dry conditions, kinda fears backroads, rain, and snow

  • love a pony - 2009 Ford Mustang

    Love to drive this car. I have a 40 anniversary pony, now I bought this 45 ann. So far so good. Only complaint is the seat belt is very hard to get to it should be like the other pony attached to the seat. Better than the new camaro.

  • My First Pony - 2009 Ford Mustang

    Having been a Mustang lover my whole life finally had the option to purchase the 09, and couldnt be more happy. The V6 isnt as quick at takeoff, but its gas mileage and insurance benefits outweigh that for the financially strapped. The car is very comfortable to ride in, and for a sports car feels very roomy in the cab. The handling is exceptional and moves, dives and dodges quickly with a velvet touch. For the price the 09 Mustang is hard to beat, its a lot of car for such a small price.

  • Japan Car Fan Buys Ford-Friends in Shock - 2009 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Our criteria for a car, performance, braking, handling, and comfort without breaking the bank. Plus we need to both fit (she is short and I am tall)The melted down soap designs are boring along with the performance. But our surprise and complete shock was the Mustang in California Special trim. Absolutely beautiful to look out and the build quality was equal to anything we investigated.But to our shock and surprise, the car was comfortable quiet, and performed beyond expectations. Not a sports car (watch that live rear axle) but for an everyday driver, we now race for the keys in the morning. Gas mileage hurts a little, but its hard not to step on the gas for an ear to ear grin

  • Love the pony - 2009 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love the look of this car. I was always a fan of them and finally purchased my first pony this year. The outside is awesome and the v6 engine is especially peppy being a 4.0. It is not great on gas, but I do average in the mid-20s on the highway. the interior is fairly cheezy. the glovebox is pretty small (my old Dodge neon had a larger and more functional glovebox) and the center console is also kind of impractical, but all around it is more of a sportcar than anything else, so it is nothing to really get picky over. also they used a lot more cheap plastic than i would of liked. all around, i would purchase it again, and love it tho

  • This is awsome! - 2009 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My favorite thing about owning this Mustang is just the comfort of the ride. Its easy and relaxing, yet I have power too. I also love the back bench, I can now take both my best friends with me instead of having to either leave someone out or have to take two cars.
