  • Major Problems Reconsider Before You Buy - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I had major rattling in the dash, the drivers seat pops, the sending unit had to be replaced because my gas kept showing empty when it was full. The gas went over when I was filling, or just stopped when it was 1/2 full and wouldnt go anymore. The transmission is AWFUL! It acts like its in neutral and revs sometimes while Im driving it, or just taking off then CLUNKS into gear. Nobody can fix it, they cant figure it out. It shifts very hard. And the other day the abs locked up on one wheel when I started it up, METAL-ON-METAL grinding after a lil bit of going back and forth and slamming on the brakes it quit, took it to the shop, they couldnt figure anything out. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

  • Best Pony Ever - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Best performance car Ive ever owned, and right at home parked next to my 1964 1/2 Mustang. High performance and great mileage (25.5 mpg at 70 mph). Very comfortable. Holds the road in turns like no other. Shaker 1000 is incredible sound system. GREAT job by the FORD Team!

    Ive always wanted a muscle car and Im proud to own this one. I compared to other cars out there and am very happy with what I got for the price I paid. This pony peels out fast and looks good doing it.

  • Not Bad - 2005 Ford Mustang

    The dealer is great. Free oil changes for life. This V6 sounds a teeny bit like a V8. I like it. It rides a bit rough over pothole repaired city streets. It feels quite good on the highway.

  • 10 OUT OF 10 - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I have never been so happy with a vehicle. Im a 44 year old former hot rodder who has owned several muscle cars from the 1960s and 70s. The 2005 Mustang represents the best of all those cars but on a modern platform that you can drive everyday under full warranty. I have nothing but praise for how it looks, drives and makes me feel when Im behind the wheel. This car rocks with a capital R. How Ford managed to combine the retro styling, with practical driveability, awesome performance and comfort, plus head turning good looks while remaining the lowest priced 300HP car out there is pure genius!

  • I Love My New Stang! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love this car! It is the best and most fun car I have ever owned. Its eye catching, fun to drive, and makes me feel good whenever I get in it - especially when I can get out there with the top down and the music blaring. Its not possible to be mad, sad, or in a bad mood when you are in this car. I got it in Torch Red with a Parchment top - absolutely perfect!

  • My Opinion - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love this car, and wouldnt trade it for the world. Like every car it has issues. I had problems with the struts, the gas tank, and the heater. But if you love to drive, youll love to drive this. I cant vouch for the automatics or the V6 cars, but the GT with a stick (wrapped in leather) is a sheer thrill to drive.

    By -

    I purchased a 2005 premium Mustang convertible its a steel blue with a black top. I love My Color for the different colors you can make the dash. It has a 500 watt stereo system in it. iI just purchased the pony grille with the fog lamps in it. I get so many compliments on the car. I am going down Carlisle PA to the Mustang show.

  • My Views - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love the new body style! I knew as soon as I saw the new body style before they even were in production I had to have one. I have owned a 79 and 81 Mustang, they do not even compare to my 05. I have had some minor issues such as CD player replacement and drivers side door handle problems but those were taken care of pronto. I do not plan to get rid of this car. I am very happy with my purchase.
