Overview & Reviews

More features are added to the 2008 Ford Mustang. This includes standard front seat side airbags, available xenon headlights and, for the V6 models, 18-inch alloy wheels. Those who have a thing for pink should be thrilled with the new Warriors in Pink package that provides their ride with that color's accents inside and out. Sales of this package also help support the Susan G. Komen cancer charity.

• Powerful performance in V8 versions, eye-catching retro styling inside and out, friendly ergonomics.

• Stability control not available, dollar store interior plastics, seats lack sufficient lateral support for enthusiastic driving.

  A lot of fun for the money - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By 1trickpony - April 14 - 7:25 pm

  I purchased my 2008 Mustang V6 with Pony Package at the beginning of 2009 and I love it! You cant beat the beautiful styling for the dollar. Pony package adds a performance look with fog lamps and Bullitt wheels. GT handling package really makes cornering a BLAST! Mine also has the optional Shaker 500 audio system, which I HIGHLY recommend if you are a music fan. Fuel economy is OK, I would have expected better from a V6 but its not all that bad. The enthusiast in me cant help but want just a little more when I press the gas pedal, but this car has PLENTY of pep for most people, and it sounds really cool when accelerating. If you want power I suggest paying the extra $ for a GT.

  Bullitt Mustang gets it right - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By mrolfers - February 25 - 12:47 am

  Ford got the Bulllitt Mustang right in so many ways: I love the low-key, retro styling cues throughout. No stripes, no fins, no flames, and very little chrome. Slick shifter, engine pulls hard, and has a satisfying muscle car exhaust note. I owned an 86 GT and this thing handles like its from another planet. You can actually throw it around curves without the rear end breaking loose at the slightest tap on the gas. Excellent seats and very comfortable on a couple of 300 mile road trips. Id like another 200+ HP or so, as the car does run out of power before Id like, but I couldnt afford the Shelby GT 500. I rarely get to drive it that hard, so its a mild criticism.

  A graduation present - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Ryne Mitchell - February 6 - 1:09 am

  As far as comfortably priced and comfortably equip sports/muscle cars go this is the best I have ever driven. With leather and an appearance package tacked on to this little V6 you dont need much more. With 210 horsepower (Id argue there was more) this V6 will kick any little 4 banger out there to the curb while not quite being dangerously powerful. If your looking for power and style with a reliable name and company look no further.

  Only one of its kind - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Barryg - December 24 - 4:01 pm

  If you want a mean sounding, torque pounding, rumbling V8 with a 5 speed (like I did), with modern day comfort, the Mustang GT is it. Leather seats are comfortable. I installed 3.73 gears, lowered the car 1.5 inches with Ford racing springs and added the FRPP GTA axleback mufflers that come on the Bullitt Mustang. The car is set up the way it should be and with the mods, still under $26K. The GT is raw and the ride is a little on the rough side but its so much fine to drive. Gas mileage for me is around 20 overall. If you want quiet and refined look elsewhere. If you want a solid fun RWD V8 at a great price with unlimited aftermarket support, get the GT. No regrets at all!

  After Grand Marquis, Thunderbird, F-250 - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By andy - im only 16 - November 12 - 9:53 pm

  I have the V6 deluxe auto. Its performance does not equal the T-bird but it costs much less. The ride is not as smooth as the Marquis but its not luxury or as expensive. It handles much better than the diesel F-250 but thats expected. Sometimes the manual adjustment for the chairs gets annoying especially while driving but I guess drivers should adjust everything first. Cruise control is very precise and simple and even thought the media controls arent mounted on the wheel, they are still very close. I control radio etc with my wrist resting on the stick. A bit bumpy but great handling

  Fun on a budget - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By stangit08 - October 30 - 11:43 pm

  Three to four dollar a gallon gas prompted me to look for something besides my 3/4 ton truck to drive. I didnt want to spend more than $20K but still wanted something fun to drive. I seriously looked at the Solitace, Miata, and Mustang. The Pontiac and Miata were at least $8K more for compariable cars albeit they were rag tops. Ford was offering $5K in rebates bring the price down to $16K drive off. The base Mustang comes with many of the desireables that are option on the other models. I have taken two trips over two hundred miles and and averaged 30-31 mpg on both trips. Combined city/hwy driving this week averaged 24 mpg. The car is a blast to drive and looks great. I am very pleased.

  Great car--needs refinement. - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Steve - October 8 - 2:06 pm

  I love this car. I have the 5 speed automatic and it performs without trouble. Sure the gas mileage isnt that great, but really, who would expect that from a muscle car? The only trouble is the really noisy top latches. The rattle like crazy with the top up. At first, no rattles, but as the weeks went by, the latches were rattling like crazy. Ford replaced them and they were fine for a while, now they are rattling again.

  Not a Camaro - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By rayyanko - September 7 - 8:56 am

  This is my first Ford, I am a GM man. I wanted a sports car convertible, made in America. This was my only choice. I dont understand why Ford doesnt make Mustangs stock that is high performance. Yes you can purchase from Saleen, Rouch, etc, with all the goodies, why not from Ford, at least as options. I added a hurst shifter, chrome 20" wheels, side stripes, things to make it look better. I must admitt I do get a lot of "Nice Car" comments. Probably because I have over 100 coats of wax on it. Mine is a candy apple red. I do love the sound system, I wished they had a hood scoop on my car, even though it was a fake. It does look good. I purchased this car off the lot. My Camaro was fast

  Better than a Lambo - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Alex - September 3 - 3:17 pm

  I work downtown Los Angeles and park at the country club with all sorts of exotic cars, let alone your M6s, S8s etc., but the valet guys favor my car. The people from GAS (Pimp my ride) spruced it up with 20 inch Boss wheels, Bassani exhaust, cold air in- take, computer chip and Eibach lowered suspension. In all Ive spent an extra 10k on extras and it was well worth it. This care simply cant sit still and its made to gun it with a mighty roar. Id only wish I would have used the 1,200 bucks for the stereo and gotten an after-market system.

  Bullitt Mustangs, too Cool! - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Denver Bullitt - August 9 - 11:52 pm

  It is so hard to wipe the smile off my face when I get out and lock up the car. I love driving the Bullitt, amazing power, great exhaust note, and great handling. The look and feel of this car are really something, I had an 86 SVO and performance, transmission, and the overall driving experience has been improved so much. Thanks for the homerun Bullitt design team and everyone at Ford.
