This Year's Model Updates:

More features are added to the 2008 Ford Mustang. This includes standard front seat side airbags, available xenon headlights and, for the V6 models, 18-inch alloy wheels.

Sales of this package also help support the Susan G. Komen cancer charity.

Pros:
  • Powerful performance in V8 versions, eye-catching retro styling inside and out, friendly ergonomics.
Cons:
  • Stability control not available, dollar store interior plastics, seats lack sufficient lateral support for enthusiastic driving.

  • GT/ CS - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Best Mustang ever. Ride, Hhndling and interior are super -- real bank for the buck when compared to some more refined but much more expensive vehicles. 350Z is nice -- but doesnt have space to put a brief case -- not as much fun and doesnt get the attention that the Mustang draws. V8 Power is fast fast fast -- great powerband -- torque everywhere -- you could practically drive it in 3rd.

  • Fun to Drive - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    It has been 20 years since I owned a stick shift. I forget how much fun driving can be. That is if you get into a mustang GT. Great power,looks, an awesome sound system. This car is just an incredible car to drive. For the money you cannot buy this power, good looks and a vehicle this fun to drive. I looked into buying Mustangs in the past but did not do so because of the rough ride. This cars ride and handling are that of much more expensive cars with much less to offer. If you are looking for a start of the art computer based car, this is not it, but if you are looking for retro styling with updated technology this is the car for you.

  • GT/CS - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I got the California Special in Candy Apple Red. It is a beauty. The ride and performance are great. It is a dream to drive and the power band with the 5 speed auto is awesome. I do wish they had the louder exhaust tone from the GT500. The tire noise is evident with the combo that comes on the CS. However it isnt obnoxious. The lower seat cushions could be 2 inches longer for long road trips. Rear seat is really not usable by adults. Can get a car seat in but it is really hard to put a toddler in the seat. It is really a 2 seater like all the previous Mustangs. What makes the GT/CS worth it is it gets looks everywhere we have taken it.

  • Finally - 2008 Ford Mustang

    This car has only one problem. The space on the speedometer between 55 and 80 is to thin. You will get into trouble if you dont keep an eye on your speed. No rattles, squeaks, or defects. As for the ownership experience, this car was built on August 8th and was not delivered until October 7th.

  • Excellent Car - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This is the first Mustang I have owned and its exciting every time I get behind the wheel. The quality of the ride is as good as most four door sedans. This car will make you look foward to going to work every morning. With the five speed tranny, doing the speed limits I get 27 mpg on the highway.

  • Who needs a GT? - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I just bought a new Ford Mustang V6 manual and it has been what most people consider the ride of their life. I had test drove a few GTs and there is a difference in power, but for an everyday driver who isnt trying to race or see how much fuel they can burn through, it really moves. The transmission is dead on and each gear pulls so hard that you cant hold back smiling and looking around you to see who is watching. I love the way it makes me feel and the rush I get when I go to work in the morning. However, parking in the furthest parking spot next to the curb so that no one hurts her, does get to be a bit of a hike after a while. Go out and test drive one and you will know what I mean.

  • First Impressions - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have had my 08 Vapor automatic for a couple of weeks now. Love the sound of the 300 hp under the hood. I may have to change out the mufflers to MAC or Magnaflow to get a little more bark from it. Back seats are almost useless, but I rarely need to have extra passengers. Fuel mileage is quite good for a car with this power and on regular unleaded. Ive already gotten 26.8 on a three hour trip, and it isnt broken in yet.

  • Old guy car nut - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Have owned 40 automobiles and am a professional engineer. I am an official car nut. This is a beautiful automobile, California special. But, if you are 60 years old this car will beat you up when driving our poor roads and I drive 40k per year. Am going back for an Edge. Ford has improved drastically. Had previous SHO and station wagon and piece of junk. These are high quality. Would recommend this car, but only for those who can put up with the "boy-racer" situation. Ford should be commended for their improvements.

  • Very reliable! - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I bought my 08 in 2012 with 75,000 miles. The previous owner must have driven a lot but even though the high miles, my car has never let me down. Its 2016 and the car still works great. Ive kept up with its oil changes, and minor maintenance and my Mustang keeps running without trouble. Ive replaced the alternator, tie rods, sway bar links, shocks, struts and tires and of course the battery. I drive this car daily and it still amazes me at how great it handles. As of today my car has about 110k miles. Any time I get in it I can feel sure that it wont let me down. I always brag to friends of how reliable the car is. I over paid for the car but at least I can say I havent put money into it. The only downside is the interior. The door vinyl panels have started to come off. Ive tried to glue them back but with the Texas heat, they come back off. Also the cloth on the seats isnt all that great. I have 2 kids in the back and with their shoes and spilling foods, the cloth on the seats looks faded.
