  • Can it possibly get any better? - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Having been a "hard core" sports car fan, this is the first "American Sports Car" Ive owned. It would be an understatement to say how impressed I am. Its got it all; the style, the muscle, the refinement, the "growl" and the attitude. Aside from the startlingly great straight line performance, the suspension strikes a surprisingly good balance between handling and ride comfort. The seats are comfy while holding you in place. The Interior Upgrade Package with real aluminum dash is quite the looker. Shift feel is positive and quick. Brakes haul you down with "right now" stopping power. Build quality is among the best Ive experienced in any car. Its tight and solid

    This vehicle is a blast to drive. It is comfortable and handles very well. It has a lot of power even though it is not the GT version. The gas mileage is was a nice surprise, we didnt expect it to do so well.

    I have 29,000 miles on my Mustang, bought it new when there were few on the lot and have not had the first problem. I have had mine to Miami and to Niagara Falls, ON twice and everywhere in between. The gas mileage has always been good, the best being 29mpg which I just did on a trip to Orlando and around town is usuallyin the 20-22 range depending upon my foot. The pickup and passing are excellent for a v-6 and love shifting into the 4 speed range for passing. Next one will be a GT convertible.

    I have always been a Chevy guy. When I saw the 05 Mustang I knew I would have a battle on my hands. Bottom line, I am still a Chevy guy, but I love this car!

  • I love this car - 2005 Ford Mustang

    This is the first sports car I can fit into comfortably. Being 67" I can fit into most cars but would not want to ride in them for hours. The Mustang I could drive all day without my back getting sore. The ride is better than I expected and I have had no problems with the car at all. I looked a WRX also but it look so econobox and the STI version was too expensive.

  • AWESOME! - 2005 Ford Mustang

    This car is awesome. I love it and it is an extreme joy to own and drive. It make me smile every time I drive it.

  • wow - 2005 Ford Mustang

    Just got my Mustang GT less than a week ago. I had no idea people would give it so much attention, but it deserves every bit of it. This car is nothing short of awesome. Had to go through hell to find one being sold for msrp. But like I said, worth every penny and all the effort. Word to the wise though, if you’re planning on getting one of these babies, get the premium package; its a world of difference.

    I just picked up my GT Premium right before Memorial day (ordered it in mid January), and dont want to park it EVER! It is so fun to drive, it is everything I was hoping for and more. If you are thinking of getting one do it immediately. You wont be sorry.

  • Black Beauty GT Convertible - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car is the love of my life! Unfortunately the Colorado State Police pay way too much attention to it too! I bought a 5 speed & cant imagine driving an automatic. When I want to pass someone on our mountain roads I leave them in my dust & by the way - Im a baby boomer lady. I love the shift throw & have no problem with the clutch. I do wish the CD changer digital read-out was easier to see. My only problem with this car is the convertible lock down system. I also drive on some bumpy dirt roads & the convertible top shakes & shimmys more than it should. There are also some serious blind spots to watch for. I love my mag wheels & the Bullet sound! Not much winter driving tho.

  • Love it, Drive it, Beat it, Race it. - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have now owned my 2005 Mustang GT Coupe for 2 1/2 years and have put 91,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new and I love this car. I drive it extremely hard and the only things that have had to be replaced on the car were because of my driving habbits. I race the car on weekends and power shift daily. I am on my second transmission and 4th clutch because I am so hard on it. 1st trans warranty replaced. The alternators stink on this car. Had one replaced under warranty. Need another. It causes a cam shaft sensor problem but oh well I still love the car. Overall I give it a 10 and love driving the car 100 miles every day for work and for pleasure on the weekends. Its built Ford tough!
