  2008 Bullitt - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By Jeff - May 31 - 10:51 pm

  I cant believe a car that is this much fun to drive can be bought for this price. Plenty of power, great exhaust note (compare it to the weak sound of a 380Z), comfortable GT500 seats, aggressive exterior styling, and with amenities like the super smooth Tremec 5 speed, the light touch hydraulic clutch, and the 500 watt Shaker stereo this car is a dream. No wonder Ford is not looking for Govt. bailout money like GM and Chrysler.

  I couldnt be happier! - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By SFCJRice - May 16 - 6:21 am

  Overall a great car for the price! The styling is great and I get tons of compliments. I bought the V6 model for gas and insurance reasons and am happily surprised by the power. I have the manual transmission so I get more power and it is more fun to drive. The premium edition is a must have option. I plan on giving this to my son in two years and then I will be buying the GT version.

  Mustang GT Bullit edition - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By Uwe - May 12 - 6:52 pm

  This is a sporty car, not a sports-car, meaning it is fast but not Porsche, Corvette, or Viper fast. I like the price, the look, the engine & exhaust sound, 6xMP3 player w/ 500 watts stereo, navi, comfy seats. Interior looks and feels cheap except for the leather seats. Seat belt is strangling me. Cant say anything about reliability yet.

  Daily Driver - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By Uwe - May 1 - 2:49 pm

  I picked up my brandnew 2009 GT with Bullit & Nav option last week. Still breaking it in. Its a fun car that I use as my daily drive. Its quick, but that is relative of course (my weekend car is a 2005 Porsche Turbo S). Still, it is capable to pass the majority of cars on the road, and thats what was important to me. The interior looks and feels cheap (lots of plastic) except for the leather seats. Good sized trunk. Nice exhaust sound. The car "feels" a bit big for a 2+2 seater. Appealing price ("Internet" price $3k down MSPR + $3.5k Ford incentive). Good stereo (Shaker 500) with enough bass power to make the windows rattle. Pleasant overall experience at the dealership.

  California Special Package - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By Kimba - April 22 - 4:53 pm

  I own 2009 GT Premium 5 speed manual with the California Special package (it gives it the 1969/70 look) I couldnt believe the handling and stability of the drive! With the split axle option there is allot of get up and go!!! We have been able to maintain 25.8 mpg average. I am still re-learning the stick!

  Its worth every penny - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By CVale - March 4 - 5:53 pm

  I had been considering the Mustang, Challenger, or Camaro for a new sports car. I needed a rear seat for my child (unless I could leave the wife home more often). After doing much research on all the vehicles and test-driving the challenger and Mustang. I decided on the Mustang. Tried the Challenger RT and it was ok but just didn’t do it for me. I liked the outside of the new Camaro but didn’t like the inside so much. Everything I researched also swayed me away from a first year production model on any vehicle as well. Granted the “tested” numbers show the Camaro going slightly faster than the Mustang Im not concerned. The mustang is just great all around. No regrets at all!

  A Chevy person bought a Ford! - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By ChevyHuny - February 19 - 3:14 pm

  When I was up for a new car I tested every vehicle on the market. Absolutely nothing compared to the car I ended up buying. The price, all the options you get with it and the color options. I got the Brilliant Silver Metallic and it just shines. I highly recommend the OEM HID headlights equipped from factory. Putting on a after market kit will not compare in the least.

  Camaro Eat Your Heart Out - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By GoNavy - January 29 - 10:57 pm

  I was going to get a new 2010 Camaro, but the dealers were charging 6-10k dealer markup, pushing the V8 version of the car out of my price range. So, I wanted an American made V8 car, with horsepower and was fun to drive. Not many of those still being made by U.S.auto manufacturers. I decided on the Mustang for its looks, excellent ride quality, horsepower, blazingly fast acceleration in the 5-speed GT version I bought, and Ford had employee pricing on the car. Only thing is the interior, my right knee hits the edge of the dash so in long drives its a little discomforting. Other than that, the car delivers more bang for your buck than the Camaro could ever hope to accomplish.

  Best car I ever had. - 2009 Ford Mustang
  By joe henricks - January 28 - 11:47 am

  This is my 7th car. I owned mainly Honda accord and Nissan Altima. I dont like American cars, bu I have to say this Mustang really rocks. Better reability and low cost maintenance tha my previous Honda Accord Coupe. Best choice ever!
