  • Fun for Everyone! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car appeals to middle age me and my pre-teen kids. It draws more comments in the area I live in than a new Ferrari or Mercedes because it is fun. People follow me around to get a look at it. The car is pure fun to drive. The exhaust, wind in your face, acceleration is pure American Muscle; all this in a package that seats four and carries two plus sets of golf clubs in the trunk. What more can you ask for? The price is right. Exterior is stunning and performance dead on. I do wish Ford had spent another $2,000 to finish out the interior. I would gladly have paid for less plastic and more quality there. Overall, this car is a must have!

  • GT Premium Convertible - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Just like many others out there, Ive been salivating over the 05 Mustang since Ford first announced the new design. I just got my car (Silver w/ black leather interior) and let me tell you, its worth every penny. The dealer was telling me that Ford is overwhelmed by demand and buyers are waiting 6 months for delivery of their GTs. I would like to share with you that it is possible to get one. I didnt order my car in advance, but rather convinced the salesman that I was a serious buyer and to call me if a buyer who ordered one changed his mind when the car came in. He (to my amazement) called a week later. I was at the dealer within 90 minutes. They didnt even charge over sticker!

  • Overpriced American Car - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    The car is nice looking. But thats about as far as it goes. There is no back seat room. The dash and instrument panel are very inexpensive, looking like something you would find in a $10K car. Even the leather seats have room for improvement. The automatic transmission clunks when you put it in gear. The rear end feels like your riding on marbles. The list goes on. My wife wanted this car for its looks and from driving it, thats all it has.

  • LIVIN LA VIDA LOCA - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CAR. IT IS FUN, FAST AND BEAUTIFUL! EVERYWHERE WE GO PEOPLE STOP AND STARE- IT IS LIKE WE ARE FAMOUS AND OWE IT ALL TO MY CAR. I RACED A Z-28 AND WON. THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS CAR IS THAT IT IS AFFORDABLE ENOUGH TO USE EVERYDAY - BUT LUXURIOUS ENOUGH TO PAINT THE TOWN. FORD HAS WON BIG WITH THIS MODEL- WHAT A HIT!! I AM SO MESMERIZED BY THIS MODEL AND IT DEFINETLY PAYS HOMAGE TO OLD DAYS. WE CHOSE THE LEGEND LIME GREEN AND FEEL LIKE WE ARE THE ONLY CAR ON THE ROAD WHEN WE DRIVE IT. WE ALSO PLAN TO JOIN ONE OF THE LOCAL MUSTANG CLUBS AND NOW LIVIN LA VIDA LOCA.

  • Hi-Tech meets Old-School - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    By far the best retro-styled auto on the market, Ive owned mine for about a month now and have yet to find anything about it that I think Ford really missed on. She has great looks, a comfortable ride, handles like a sports car should, and believe me, when you go to the whip she really responds. Ive always been a fan of the old Mustangs, but the 05s mix of current technology and old school looks may make it the first true vintage piece of the new century. Youll see these cars in mall shows 20 years from now.

  • Built for Boomers - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Love it! Love it! Love it! I cannot say enough about my 2005 Torch Red Mustang. The minute I saw it, I went back to 1966. My 74 Mustang II was fun, but did not live up the the original. Now at 50+ I am driving a sporty car again. (I traded in a Taurus Wagon).

  • A REALLY fun car! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Got this as soon as it came out - was hard to find too. A quick little car - and EVERYONE stops to look ! Got the V8 5 speed with tan leather and the mineral grey color - though the grey is more tanish I think, but it looks nice on the car. My kids LOVE it too. Already put new black chrome wheels on it and looking for an aftermarket bumper. A really fun car! If youre going to buy this car - dont bother with the V6 - getting a car with some attitude - inside and out - is the whole point !

  • Flat out the BEST Mustang ever built! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car has everything you want from an American made Muscle Car and nothing you dont! It has all of the power you need and the styling and comfort you desire. Ford has definitely turned the tables with the 2005 model. I feel sorry for those people who settled on a good deal on the 2004 models Ford was quickly trying to phase out at the dealerships without test driving the 2005 first. The sound system cannot be beat with 1,000 watts of power coming from 10 speakers. The Mycolor gauges are a very nice added touch. The fit and finish of this vehicle is near the top for Ford standards.

  • Excellance with fun & reliability - 2005 Ford Mustang

    I have owned a 1965 and a 1969 Mustang but this car is a whole new experience. Havent had so much fun and enjoyment in 30 years. Ford has really done a magnificent job with this PONY. The V6 I purchased has everything the GT has except fog lamps,dual exhaust, a V8 and 17 inch tires.
