  • Awesome! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ive got my Mustang less than two weeks ago, but Im having such a blast driving it. The acceleration is superb and drives comfortable in the big city since it isnt so big. I live in L.A. and drove around Santa Monica and Beverly Hills where you see pricey Ferraris, BMWs and Mercedes galore, but this 30k car caught all the attention. I also love the Shaker 1000.

    This is a great car, and lots of fun to drive. First sports car Ive ever had, and let me tell you it is very powerful. You really have to use the cruise control to maintain legal speed. You dont feel like your speeding. I have the Red Fire Red with standard 17 inch wheels, standard interior with Shaker 500 system, which sounds great. I have 6300 miles on it, and I have not had any problems with it. Overall, it is a great car to drive and just go cruising. Lots of people come up to me and want to look and hear the machine. Gas mileage is not too good, but reasonable. One minute negative is that the amplifier gets very hot with the windows down and you can feel it in your legs.

  • Design and Dedication - 2005 Ford Mustang

    Sleek body lines, enough horsepower to pin you in the seat and just the right amount of retro redeux to make it sexier than ever. I have been quite impressed with this car, from its amaretto smooth shifting to its mind blowing ability to break loose in a moments notice. I have had Mustangs before but this car is definately the car to steal my heart. With a comfortable interior that is similar to the same interior of the glory days of the Mustang right down to the Shelby wheels that put 18 inches of rubber on the road. This car is by far the best Mustang to pound pavement in the past Thirty years.

  • You will not be sorry. - 2005 Ford Mustang

    A more gorgeous, fun to drive, fun to look at, no troubles in sight car you couldnt find. In a world of cars that look like tylenol capsules & are a big bore in general, you have a REAL car: the ford mustang! With its big heavy- set eyebrows and its throaty (but not obnoxious) growl. Handles a dry turn with determination, LOVES the road in terms of wanting a good run...it will ask to pull toward 80 rather than cantering at 65. Cars & especially trucks politely get out of the way to let the glory of this American Original shine, as it gracefully owns the road, weaving or not weaving, gaining or not gaining as the mood fits. I have had it 3 years. Bottom line: If I could buy 3, I would!

  • I love this car! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I was going to buy a 2004 Mustang but my wife told me to wait until this year. Im I glad I listened to my wife. This car is so much fun to drive. I cant believe the room you have in the car. The V6 is more then enough engine. I have been getting about 18 miles per gallon in the city. I have not taken it on a long trip yet but Ill bet you Ill get well over 20 miles per gallon. I have a Screaming Yellow and truly love it. Ford has a winner in this car.

  • The Time Has Come - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I was born in 1963 - the same year the first Mustang was introduced. My first car was a 1967 Galaxie 500 - I really wanted a Mustang. Since I was 16 Ive watched Mach 1 ads, loved the Cobras, and drooled every time I saw a Shelby. When I saw the 05 for the first time, the chills of history ran through me. I couldnt believe the perfection in the design. Then I heard the GT had 300 HP! I decided then, this would be the year. I got it two days ago. Nothing in my life has so dramatically exceeded my expectations. I am in awe of the people who had the artistic ability to pull the heritage of the Mustang with perfect craft and precision into this one car, truly in awe. Nicely done!

    We purchased this vehicle and absolutely love it. It is the first new car weve ever owned and what a way to start. The power is unbelievable. Its 300 horse power is awesome. We would highly recommend the vehicle. The soft boot takes some time to get used to. But with a little practice you can master it in no time. It has a very soft clutch which makes driving easy even for the less experienced manual transmission driver.

    The Shaker 1000 stereo is loud but the CD player needs to be completely redesigned. It skips, and shoots out CDs; very sensitive, only plays certain CDs. Ive had 4 so far and mine still doesnt work. We are waiting for a fix from the dealer. The front end pops when turning hard. I love driving it and the red/black color combo is great! I have the My Color on mine and just love the entire Mustang experience.

  • A Total Blast! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ive been a driver of pickups for the past 15 years, but after test driving this car, I was a changed man. What a rush! Ford has returned the Mustang to its power status. The GT is a monster out of the box ... if you have a choice, go with the 5 speed versus the auto. Its a muscle car, not a cruiser. This is without a doubt the most fun driving Ive ever had!
