    I special ordered this car in April of 2004 and received it last October. It was worth the wait. The front passengers have plenty of room compared to the older models, and the car is driver friendly. This is a gorgeous car! Im still getting used to people hanging out of their cars staring as I go down the road.

    Be prepared for the ford enthusiasts to be chasing you down and asking questions. This model is arguably the best produced. Being the only one in my county to own one gets me ALOT of looks and ALOT of questions. This car definetly has no lack in power. If you dont like the pirelli P Zero tires just burn them off through first and second. The neighbors may not like the smoke but youve got something to accomplish. This interior has much more head room than past models (I know this for a fact cause I traded in a 99 Mustang). The 5 speed shift is also positioned much better and the stereo system has been improved vastly. No words can describe what it feels like to drive this car.

  • More bang for the buck! - 2005 Ford Mustang

    I just leased the GT premium, and its a monster off of the line! If you are just looking for 0-60s, then get this car (better buy than the Pontiac GTO)! The new Mustang is a huge improvement over its predecessors...but when comparing it against the 350Z or the RX8, you just dont get the type of handling like those cars. GT will smoke the 350Z, RX8, and maybe a WRX STi; but it doesnt handle like them. GT is also gas, and be prepared to stop at the pumps frequently! I also had trouble with the front wheel barrels twice since i got it...but they fixed it for no extra charge (under warranty).

  • Too much fun. - 2005 Ford Mustang

    We werent planning on buying a Mustang, just taking a look, but the price was right and the retro style was too good to pass up. We are very pleased with the way the car handles. It has lots of get up and go, and there is no roll when cornering. The Shaker 500 sound system is an excellent stereo and the car is very comfortable when driving long distances. We love the retro look, but never would have guessed how many people would stare when we drive by; its a real head turner. This car is a keeper, we plan to own it for a long time.

    Saw the 2005 Mustang and it took me back to my teens. I could not resist the Torch Red. Its fun to drive and gets looks from everyone. Best Christmas present I have ever given myself.

  • The Best Thing Since 66 - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This is a car that real mustangers have been waiting for, for 40 years!! I would advise Ford to continue running down the road of Retro, They havent had anything in a car woth driving since the late 60s early 70s. I did say car. I do Drive an F-150, There still is no better truck on the Road today!! Back to the Real Mustang! The 03 and 04 were giving some Glimore of hope but still did not go far enough! But Now!!! The Generation that Dreamed of having one of these cars back in the day can have a real Mustang!!! With the change of Platform and design it seems that someone at Ford that actually has some car passion got involved and made our dream come true!!

    I was looking for a car with moderate/good performance with an automatic transmission, rear wheel drive and a reasonable price. This is about the only car that I found that met these requirements. Performance is great for a V6, and the handling is great. Automatic transmission is excellent - you almost forget that the transmission is there. Styling, both interior and exterior, is a perfect combination of old and new.

    This is the most comfortable car I have ever driven. Now that our daughter is grown, I was able to buy a car that I wanted. I didnt want a "granny" car. This was the best decision that I ever made. The V6 has PLENTY of power, almost too much for driving around in the city. The "Growl" transmission is fun. The Shaker 500 Stereo is wonderful. It actually shakes the windows. The "Spinner" wheels look great and the appearance package with the spoiler and stripe couldnt be better. I would recommend the 05 V6 to anyone who wants a fun to drive, beautiful, eye catching car!
