The 2005 Ford Mustang is completely redesigned.

I Love This Car - 2005 Ford Mustang
By LOTTOPOP - December 14 - 6:22 pmThis car is an absolute kick! Ive had several Lincolns (T-Cars & Mark 8s & Sebring convertibles), & this car is my true favorite. Its quick & classy, and a ton of fun to drive. I cant wait for spring to drop the top. I had it down on day #1, & hated to put it up but ... I live in Chicago.

65 to 05 stang.... - 2005 Ford Mustang
By M. Rieffer - December 14 - 12:09 pmMy driving review is sort of biased as I buy mostly Ford products because I have mostly good experience with the vehicle and the dealers I have visited. The Mustang is reminiscent of another era in my driving experience. It is safer and more reliable that the cars of the 60s, but reminds me of them. I have a 1965 Mustang and it is neat to have them side by side and 40 years apart.

Screaming Yellow (A Lemon?) - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Lorie - December 9 - 11:01 pmWe waited patiently for our Mustang to arrive. Three other individuals waited behind us in case our purchase did not go through. We drove away the happy owners of the 2005 Mustang GT Premium in Screaming Yellow. We chose to add the racing stripe package to complete the look. We get lots of compliments,with most people saying the Screaming Yellow looks the best. After a few weeks of driving it, we began to notice a popping noise coming from the front wheel area. The noise was most noticeable when turning slowly or backing and turning. Service department adjusted steering but noise continued to increase. Problem turned out being the upper strut bearing assembly which the service department replaced.

The Pony Rides Again! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By PonyXpress - December 2 - 8:31 pm2005 Roush GT Sonic Blue Convertible. Having spent much of my late teens and early 20s restoring 67 & 68 Mustangs, I was blown away when I first saw the 2005 retro Mustang. Naturally, I had to have one and bought myself a birthday present in June 05. I have about 2500 miles on the car and it has been flawless. Its great fun to drive and Roush has tweaked the car just right, from the exhaust to the ground effects. Its spooky, but I feel as if Im sitting in my 68 Fastback, albeit a greatly improved version. With the flood of after market products becoming available by the minute, it will no doubt keep me busy again. Cant wait to blow the doors off any retro Camaro or Cuda we may yet see!

Best Bang for the Buck - 2005 Ford Mustang
By TimB - December 1 - 7:24 pmI have about 4,000 miles on it now in 4 months, projecting 10,000. I usually only drive about 8,000 miles a year. But this car makes me want to take the long way home! Its fast, its comfortable, it handles very nicely. The build quality is first rate. Not a single problem or "issue".... thats amazing for a new design itself. Materials (plastic) are par for the price range, but the looks and performance are an absolute bargain. I have the 5 speed automatic GT. Very slick, smooth AND firm shifting. Gas mileage is good on the highway, so-so in town (as expected). Get it, youll love it!

Love My Stang - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Love My Stang - December 1 - 11:10 amI love this car especially the old styling. I have 7,000 miles on my car and the only problems I had was a loud rattle in the right side of the dashboard when driving on a bumpy road and paint chipping on the inside of the drivers door. Also if you are not used to the transmission shifting this car can be difficult. The tranny sometimes makes a clunking noise when shifting.

Cure for Mid Life Blues! - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Jay Bodenstein - December 1 - 11:00 amMy sonic blue, 2005 Mustang convertible is the most fun machine Ive ever owned. Driving with top down, warm wind in my face (hairs mostly gone!) and feeling great as the feelings of youth return, I love my Mustang! This is the ultimate time machine. Put on the Beach Boys, or any other hits from the 60s, crank up the stereo and wow!

GT is a Winner - 2005 Ford Mustang
By Texray - November 26 - 7:26 pmThis is the best Mustang yet. Quick, well built and affordable. Ford did a good job on this one. If youre considering one, make sure that you get the GT. Why spend all this money and not get the pure fun and pleasure of the V8? Pure American muscle.

Puts the fun back in driving - 2005 Ford Mustang
By D Henderson - November 24 - 10:20 amThis is a sweet ride. Great performance and man does it turn heads. I have driven SUVs for years now and was a little apprehensive about a car. Especially a small car. But when I saw the 2005 for the first time i was hooked. I did all my homework on it. Read or heard nothing bad about the car. Then I went looking. Found one I liked and told friends if I drove it, I would end up buying it. Well, I went for a test drive. And that same day I took it home. A Torch Red one. And I couldnt be happier. Thanks Ford!
