    I love the way this car performs and the gas mileage is decent but I hate how cheaply put together it is. I have already had 5 things go wrong with it and one of them still is not fixed and I have taken it in for the same problem 4 times with it still being unresolved. I wish it was made more solid.

  • Screaming Yellow (A Lemon?) - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    We 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 -

    2005 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 -

    I 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 -

    I 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 -

    My 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!

    Its a beauty. Young and old admire this car. I left work one day and found a crowd gathered around it. All fans. For the buck its a blast. Fun to look at, fun to drive and easy on the pocketbook.

  • GT is a Winner - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This 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 -

    This 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!

  • So much fun - 2005 Ford Mustang

    My wife and I have had this new Mustang for just a short while. We got the first one in. It is an absolute blast to drive. Every time we get in it the thrill level gets higher. Ford really did a great job with this one.
