This Year's Model Updates:

Heavily updated is the 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra, which makes 390 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque thanks to the addition of an Eaton supercharger. A new six-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels through a 3.55 rear axle ratio. Larger wheels and tires come standard, along with stiffer springs and a tubular cross brace. Cobra convertibles have a cloth top, while both cars get new seats with upgraded leather and suede upholstery. A limited-production Mach 1 model arrives later in the year with a massaged 4.6-liter V8 engine making at least 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, a functional shaker hood with ram-air scoop, black striping, unique leather seating and retro-design Magnum 500 alloy wheels, and, of course, a Mach 460 audio system. Mach 1 can be ordered in a variety of colors with either a manual or automatic transmission. Like the Mustang Bullitt before it, the Mach 1 comes with a lowered, retuned suspension and additional frame rail connectors for a stiffer body. Large 13-inch Brembo front rotors and upgraded calipers are standard.

Standard V6 and V8 GT models change little for 2003. A V6 Pony Package includes 16-inch polished alloy wheels and the GT's scooped hood. All V6 models get a new hood design, and four new colors debut.

Pros:
  • Available V8 power, variety of trim levels, healthy dose of American attitude.
Cons:
  • Archaic structure, aged design.

    Great ride, lots of fun. Handles well in extreme weather conditions, i.e. wind and rain. Reliable product.

    Ive had my 2003 Ford Mustang Convertible for a couple of months and I am having such fun! When the top is down it turns everyones head. It has no fear of increased speed and is a dream to drive in the hills and on long trips to the ocean. Its just perfection. It had an exhaust leak when I purchased it -- though it wasnt detected by the dealerships "top-notch" service team. The local oil-changing place heard it and the dealership had it repaired. Apparently it is a recall or it is just a common problem. Other than that its been the most fun Ive had since I gave up the keys to my minivan. LOL

    This is my third new mustang GT and I absolutely love them. Performance is excellent! The way it handles can not be beat! Speed and acceleration.....well, go drive one it is awesome. The only thing I have to say is anyone who does not buy a manual transmission can not appreciate all that a mustang is!!!

    Has had some performance upgrades to bring horsepower to 600+ rwhp. Car is a show stopper in looks and seems indestructible in terms of reliability. It is an awesome experience to drive.

    You will get what you pay for. This is not a refined luxury auto, it is a pony car. For around 20k you will be hard pressed to find anything with the power and fun of a v8 stang. Yeah it will step out on you if give her a little nudging but will return quickly. Just dont expect to drive this thing in the snow
