  Fun While It Lasted - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By drmithra - March 22 - 9:09 pm

  I loved the looks and had to have one. No sunroof offered, no climate control available, no factory nav, no MP3 dock, I didnt care. Ripping to redline had its own reward. Two years later a third child, a rattling dash and $3 gas made me realize this isnt a car for a long term relationship. To get 300hp for so little money corners must be cut. I still love the car on weekends, but commuting realities mean Im trading it in. Goodbye, well always have Paris.

  Ford has outdone themselves with this new retro body style. I have to remember its the car theyre all staring at, because its a real head turner. I acquired the "Mineral Gray" in a premium 6 cyl. coupe, with many of the options offered, for now. GT was just gonna cost too much. The 6 cylinder really has some get up and go, and still gets great mileage. I have been averaging about 24-26 mpg. In a few years I expect that Ford will have fine tuned this car to make it the sweetest thing on the road. I love it, and you will too.

  If Ford makes all future Mustangs live up to this one, you will always find me in the drivers seat of one. I fell in love with this design when I saw it unveiled in numerous magazines and auto shows. From an interior that leaves you feeling swaddled in comfort to the retro gauges that seem to smile when you take a seat and a beautiful body design, this car catches the very elements that an American muscle car should have attitude and appeal. The car is affordable and the performance is great. Space could be better, but works for a muscle car. Gas mileage is good considering V8 power and curb weight. Overall, kudos to FMC. This car has punched its ticket in the automotive hall of fame.

  First Ford - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Convert - March 6 - 9:20 am

  Wow. This car pulled me out of my Mopars for the first time in my life (age 41). I have not liked Ford car designs for years now. Nothing excited me like this car (in this price range). I have the manual and the shifting is very smooth. For 300 hp I think the acceleration is poor but the sound is awesome. The sound is why I got the V8 over the V6. The handling is very "secure". The driving outputs match the inputs very well. The retro dash with MyColor is a great mix of new and old. I feel the 500 radio is more than enough for someone my age. Great convertible top seal so far. Low wind noise. Mentioned before on this site, this car sure does get looks! Screaming Yellow.

  Daddys Toy - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Mr. Wolf - March 4 - 10:10 pm

  Ive been waiting 20 years to purchase a GT Mustang. Good things come to those who wait. Downside, 4 out of 5 Ford dealers in Las Vegas are adding $3000 to MSRP and wont budge. Dealer 5 didnt play this loser game and I bought it! I drove the GTO 6.0 , but stuck with the GT Mustang, it just felt better and was more just what the doctor ordered. If you dont have one, you owe it to yourself to take a test drive.

  The Return of The King - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By jchiar - March 2 - 1:10 am

  Great car. Use to own a 69 fastback and hated the designs of the Mustang ever since - until now. This years model is the best since then. It has classic styling, awesome performance and the best thing about it is that it is completely re-tooled. Which means it is not related to any of the 71-04 models. It gets looks wherever I drive it from all age groups. It has brought back my enthusiasm for the Mustang again. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  05 Stang is Awesome! - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Rich - February 25 - 5:43 pm

  I pre-ordered this car back in May 2004 on the first day that dealers could take an order for an 05 Stang. Mine is a loaded GT premium - upgraded red leather, aluminum wheels, interior upgrade package, side airbags, alarm. The power, handling and build quality are great. I love this car!

  WOW!! - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By twallerste - February 11 - 11:46 am

  This is probally the funnest vehicle I have ever owned, No matter who drives it in my family, even the biggest skeptic, they get back out of the vehicle with an ear to ear smile!! Although I never thought I would say this about any car, it was worth every penny! The only performance problem I have is that everyone on the road either slows down to look at you in the rear view mirror or they stay right beside you to look and you cant change lanes.

  Im never buying a Ford again - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By crc0069 - February 4 - 11:18 am

  All that I have had is problems with this car and every time time I take it to the dealer, they dont want to work on it. Items that have had problems: Gas gauge which is failing again 1 year later, Transmission does not shift at the 3rd shift point unless you let up on the gas and push it down again, Windshield washer bottle 2 times, trunk switch, strip was replaced, the front-end could be aligned and need a shime about $140, the steering wheel has always had a shimmy (guessing that the rotor are warped). Water pump went and they did not even want to look at it until I ask what I would need to do when it blow up on the way home. Unsafe to drive.
