Overview & Reviews
The 2005 Ford Mustang is completely redesigned.
- Solid V8 power in GT models, about as well mannered as a solid axle suspension can get, slick retro interior, much improved cabin ergonomics.
- No side curtain airbags or stability control, seats could use more lateral support.

Finally! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Leslie - November 25 - 5:38 pmI had been yearning for a Mustang for several years and finally realized that life was too short not to have it! I am now more in love with muscle cars than ever before and wish that I could have gotten the 8 cylinder (insurance wanted too much). Unfortunately, I do mostly NYC street driving to and from work 5 days/week. A real joy when I am driving around upstate NY. I never have to think twice about lane changes or pulling onto any highway. At first, it takes muscle to drive this cars stick. So much fun to break it in though. I got a lot of attention in 2005 when I first got the car. Best looking rear end on a car ever!

More fun to drive than my Z4 - 2005 Ford Mustang
By CSP4 - November 19 - 4:13 amThis car is more fun to drive than my Z4. You must sit up close to the wheel as the cockpit calls to you to saying, "take control". I am not kiddding, this car is a blast and the Shaker 500 is awsome. Thank you Ford for bringing this value to the market. And anyone in So California, Villa Ford has no mark ups!

I love Mustangs - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Matthew - November 12 - 10:30 amI love the new design. I like how Ford included features from the 60s into the 2005 new design. My favorite car of the year. Thank you for making such a wonderful ride!

My05-oh-my - 2005 Ford Mustang
By bongobongo - November 10 - 10:00 amFinally a worthy successor to 65-70 cars. After 500 miles, I grade it this way: A+, appearance, interior; A, performance, handling, comfort; B+ ergonomics; C-, ride quality. Cant drive it or look at it w/o smiling.

Not a great family vehicle - 2005 Ford Mustang
By StangGirl - November 6 - 12:29 pmLast year my husband decided he wanted to trade in my minivan (lol) for this Mustang, well over all I love the Mustang, looks good, drives good (love the handling) except for it revving up (not sure if its because its a manual) when you go to stop, only happens occasionally. The CD player jumps which I heard that was common for the Shaker 500. And well ,its just unpractical for a family. Though it looks nice and you get a lot of thumbs up we just gotta let it go.

I love my 05 Mustang! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Steve - November 4 - 11:46 amJust turned 1,000 miles on my 05 V6 Mustang. Acceleration and braking are great, as is the 5-speed auto trans. The car is very responsive and controllable, but the rear end can scoot sideways on you a bit when cornering fast on rough pavement. The solid rear axle handles differently then independent suspension, but the car is a blast to drive. The sound of the engine/exhaust is deep and so nice you will keep the radio off. The interior is comfortable and very cool looking. I highly recommend the interior upgrade package. The extra chrome, computer, gauges, My Color, and skid plates are worth twice the upgrade cost. The engineering and build quality of this vehicle is outstanding.

Awesome for a V6 - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Ginny - October 23 - 5:23 pmI love this car! I bought a V6 a few months ago, and it just loves to go. It handles very well, and zips in and out with ease. I live in a large city, and the auto transmission is perfect for trying to get around traffic jams. I highly recommend this car.

Best car I have ever owned! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By patricia dunn - October 21 - 11:16 pmI have never spoken with more strangers or had more people talk cars with me than when I started driving this 05 Mustang GT convertible last year. It has called for so much attention because of its incredible beauty! It has awesome power and iI never fear pulling out at intersections anymore because NOW I KNOW I can make the turn without getting in someones way. I GO! "She goes!" Entering and exiting military posts has guards drooling over this gorgeous retro Stang. With the top down, folks pull up beside me and start chatting about it. I just wish I had bought this earlier in the year to enjoy it longer!

Lemon Mustang - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Total Lemon - October 15 - 2:02 pmIve owned this car for just over 3 months and have had nothing but problems. The car has been out of service for almost 40 days. Just got the car back from the dealer on Friday, they had it for 26 consecutive days and cant fix a clicking/popping sound in the front end. Called Ford technical service and are sending a tech in on 11/01/06 to look at the car. The headliner is falling out -now held in place with cardboard shims, rear axle bearings and seals replaced, front and rear rotors already turned, rear quarter windows replaced because of rusty screws holding the weather strips, parking break lever replaced, finish coming of the chrome a/c vent, rocker moldings loose and the list goes on.

Maybe its just my luck - 2005 Ford Mustang
By MyPoorPony - October 12 - 2:11 pmI bought a 2005 Premium Convertible. My first car Ive bought on my own. So far Ive had it in twice for the fuel pump and Im taking it in to get the top replaced because the rear defroster stopped working. Ive had the gear shifter replaced in it. Im not happy camper with this car. If it wasnt for all these problems, Id absolutely love this car. Rides great, minus the time it stopped running on the middle of I-95. Love driving with the top down, love the audio in it. Maybe I just got a bad pony. But I wont ever buy a Ford again, the service is awful.
