Overview & Reviews
The 2005 Ford Mustang is completely redesigned.
- Solid V8 power in GT models, about as well mannered as a solid axle suspension can get, slick retro interior, much improved cabin ergonomics.
- No side curtain airbags or stability control, seats could use more lateral support.

05 v6 auto - 2005 Ford Mustang
By crack007 - December 4 - 1:11 amGood reliability but the dash cluster sucks everyone I know that has one has went bad. The mpg for a v6 is horrible a v6 should get high 20s, I drive 84 miles a day and get 23 tops. The 2000 I had got 28 same drive.

Ready to Run!! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By bigginny87 - July 2 - 5:29 pmI really enjoyed this car, no major problems. It took most of its life in AZ where I bought it, in 08 with 48k on it, then drove it too NY, Now has 61k, never seen a NY winter. Its fast, and sporty or it can be a normal car, all depends on how you drive it, me I enjoy winning the races! Its roomy only in the front seats, rears are good for college books lol. Problems I have are popping sound while turning at low speeds, i cant find anything nor can the mechanics. Other thing is the 2 water leaks i had, a/c drain box, but that was just a drain plug, was plugged, the other i cant find but the driver side seatbelt fills with water when it rains.

Dont Stop! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Kim - August 21 - 11:42 amLove at first sight! Loved it even more when I drove it. Fast, fun, and eye catching. But have had to replace the brakes 3 times and have had many braking issues. The emergency brakes sticks and you dont know it until you smell it, then its too late. Back to shop for more brakes! The car has had a rattle since I purchased it. Drives me nuts, passenger seat belt has been replaced 2 times and still locks and latches my passenger in and will not release. I have to warn them not to put it on or put it on at their own risk. Ford sees nothing wrong with this. Brakes are not a issue either, their solution "dont use the emergency brake".

The Mustang is back! Ford got it Right! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By AJC-05GT - October 12 - 11:30 amFord finally got it right with the Mustang. The retro look brought me into the dealership to take a closer look. I have never had such a fun car to drive. Even though I have the great Shaker 1000 stereo system I spend most of my time listening to the growl of the engine. The car has great performance and handling characteristics off the show room floor. Make sure to get the 5 speed manual transmission as this is a true drivers car. With a few inexpensive bolt on upgrades and a computer reflash this car becomes a serious rocket and will easily pull low 13s in the quarter mile.

attention up the yin yang! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Roy - September 7 - 1:16 am2nd Mustang Previous was 90 LX 5.0 Ive owned several sports cars 80,85 TA 89,01 Corvette. This 2005 GT has got great styling with very comfy seats. Mine has the red leather with every option except the automatic. the ride is soft yet firm enough to do some mild performance driving. I never had so much attention in a car. I get stopped all the time and people want to touch and talk about it. Its a big hit for FORD so buy FORD stock and you will do well.

fantastic horse - 2005 Ford Mustang
By frank figliola - June 16 - 12:26 amMy overall experience with this vehicle has been fantastic. The power is breath taking, the interior design is well thought out, and the driving experience is exhilarating. This car is everything advertised and more. No accessories needed for this gem, it has everything you could ever want.

good but not great - 2005 Ford Mustang
By pandabear - April 6 - 9:06 amI must say for a V6 it is quiet quick. I had added the Airaid cold air intake to it. And managed to run it at 15.05 at 92 mph through a quater mile at the track. So its plenty of power for what you pay. Now to the cons. Panels are falling off all over the place. Front and back bumpers just seem like a pre- K toddler could pull them off. It is way to tight fitting on the inside. Which i guess its suppose to be. I love the way the inside looks though, with all the nice chrome pieces. It can be turned around like a fourwheeler too with very tight steering. But if you get this car youll just be wishing you had the V8 the whole time so dont waste your money on this.

Mustang Returns to its Roots - 2005 Ford Mustang
By jchiar1a - November 25 - 12:50 amI used to own a 69 Mustang Fastback back in 1980. Of course I probably spent more time under the hood than driving it but I honestly thought that the styling of that particular year and model Mustang was bar far the best ever. This years design is reminiscent of the 69 design and delivers beautiful lines with the styling that evokes the same feelings I had about my 69. It is fast, comfortable and as an added plus handles like a true 2005 sports car. I have a fully loaded 05 Yellow GT convertible and I love it. It draws attention wherever I go. I truly believe that Ford has created another classic with this new Mustang.

Mustang GT Makes Awesome Daily Driver! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By The Extreme - October 19 - 4:06 amThis is my second Mustang. My first was a 1997 V6; it was a wonderful automobile and was still running strong and reliable when I parted ways with it at 157,000+ miles. Then came my 2005 Mustang GT. In a word, wow. Twice the horsepower (300 vs 150) of my V6. Retro skinning, but in a real modern package. I drive the car every day to and from work and people constantly comment on how much they like the car. Its remarkably practical and easy to drive given its amazing performance, and gets pretty good mileage for such a hot performing car. I love it!
