Overview & Reviews

2001 Ford Mustang GT models get unique hood and side scoops, so that you can tell 'em apart from V6 models. They also receive standard 17-inch wheels, and V6 Convertibles get 16-inch wheels as standard. All cars have a revised center console and blacked-out headlights and spoilers. The Mach 460 stereo system comes with an in-dash six-disc CD changer. A new "premium" trim line is created for both V6 and V8 models. After a one-year hiatus, the Ford SVT Mustang Cobra returns for 2001.

• Strong V8 power, competent chassis and brakes, good crash test scores, ragtop option.

• Solid rear axle, dorky-looking fake hood and side scoops, poor stereo ergonomics.

  Pedal to the metal - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By GT4ME - February 22 - 2:00 am

  I wanted a convertible. I read the V-8 was a more reliable engine so I went with that. After rebate and dealer discounts, the Mustang was $2k LESS than a comparably equipped Miata. I feel safer in a larger car. I can pass other cars on the freeway quite easily now. Love driving with the top down and the exhaust sounds great. Not the best looking inside or out. And not the most reliable compared to Japanese. But thousands of $$ cheaper, so figured that would offset.

  2001COBRA CONVERTIBLE REVIEW - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By R T BROWN - February 17 - 2:00 am

  The Cora Convertible offers superior acceleration with reasonable economy-21 miles per gallon average. Has outstanding ride and handling characteristics. No other convertible offers this much power and value. Reliability has been superior over the first 27000 miles. No mechanical problems. Just start it and drive with a big smile on your face as you listen to the rumble of that DOHC V8 turn into a snarl as you approach 7000 RPM!

  Roush Stage 2 - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Melissa - January 29 - 5:16 pm

  I bought a roush stage 2 last summer and have loved it ever since. It looks awesome and attracts a lot of attention. It is very fast and very fun to drive. I love how loud it sounds. It is has not had a single problem. The service I got from the dealership both at the time of purchase and when taking it in for an oil change is great. I would recommend this car to anyone who doesnt mind blowing about $35K. It is so worth it though!

  Piece - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By LiLcUtEsHoRtIe - January 12 - 2:00 am

  I have had so many problems out of my car. I have had my air intake replaced, my window motor replaced my throttle body replaced, my rpms will go up by themselves while my foot is on the brake they have replaced the part once and now are saying that the problem is my driving not the car. My car has been in the shop more than i have had it on the road, and it is sad that Ford cant be competent enough to fix it.Consumer reports said that the 01 and 02 mustangs were the worst ones made and the ones with the worst problems. Well if anyone has had these problems email me and let me know it would be helpful.

  Mustang GT Impressions - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By MachZ2871 - December 20 - 2:00 am

  I leased the GT, the ending up with it over a Chevy Z-28 in a decision of economics (The Z-28 was $5K more). Having traded in a 1997 V-6. I had some expectations. I expected the 4.6 litre V8 to perform better than the Chevy V6, but I really had to rev it up because the low-end torque wasnt there, which in turn exposed the laziness of the 4-speed automatic when commanded to downshift (even manually!). Overall, the GT was a good American muscle car, but lacked some of the really hard-core attributes, road-handling felt soft and and sometimes not sure-footed when pressed hard. Casual drivers would get a kick out of it.

  Economy sports car - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Nematode - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Much faster stock than a Civic, and can buy used for cheap. Handles well, easily modified to be very fast. Its a bit heavy, but turning and braking are still good. Cheaper than a Camaro and more easily modified.

  Silver GT Coup - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Tchefalo - November 1 - 2:00 am

  Ive had the Mustang for almost 3 years and I have enjoyed it. I have read reviews in consumer magazines that I think are too crtitcal. If you buy a Mustang that is what you are looking for, not a Toyota, BMW or Saab. I havent been disappointed with its performance. Unfortunately, like so many US manufactured vehicles, I have had mechanical problems in the first 3 years. The engine mounts were lose when I picked it up, the fuel pump died and the battery lost its charge. The problems were covered under the warranty including the tow to the dealership for repairs. It didnt turn out to be that big an problem for me because I have a truck too.

  Dont buy new! - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By J-master-J - October 26 - 1:00 am

  This was my first Ford product. I was lured in by the 0% financing and its great looks. I always drive V-8s and demand rear-wheel drive. The Mustang had everything I was looking for. I did have some fit and finish issues and I wish the interior didnt have so much plastic! I sold it after 2 years due to a job relocation. I was barely able to pay off my lien! The depreciation was unbelievable. I paid $25K new and sold it for $17K two years later! Oh yeah.....dealing with Ford Motor Credit is a nightmare! Buyer beware!
