  • Ford stole me away from chevy - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I owned numerous chevys, including a 2004 Z06, but the mustang is an amazing car. I ended up trading my z06 in on it. I know the z was faster, but the retro feel of the car took me back to my child hood and reminded me of why I love cars. I just hope chevy learns from them and comes back with a camaro to compete. Thank you ford.

  • Ford, work on the interior - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    The fourth Mustang Ive owned, and by far the fastest and most comfortable. The 300hp engine does ok on gas if you keep your foot out of it, but when you wanna GO, hold on! Ford, as usual, has designed a cheap and lousy interior. While the seats are comfortable black leather, the fit and finish of the remainder of the cabin is horrendous. A seam cuts across the burnished aluminum dash. The auto shifter has a cheap seam across the top. The sides of the seats are easily scratched by the back adjustment lever. The plastic chrome on the dash air vents should have been made of real metal. The cars a great driving experience, with stellar performance, but the interior is shoddy.

  • Worked three summers for it, best first car ever!! - 2005 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Not for the faint of heart. A red convertible mustang (even ten years old now) still draws quite the attention. Mine is a cop magnet, whenever I even consider revving the engine I know they are waiting around the corner for the next youngster in a red car. By todays standards a 200+ horsepower pony car is by no means american muscle, but nothing beats hitting interstate speeds in under 6 seconds with the top down. Pros: the ride is amazing, Im used to riding bikes and being able to feel the road. Last year I made a deal with a guy, he was putting radials on his new gt and sold me his brand-new 2013 gt rims and his Perreli-nero-zeros for 300 bucks. Thus I have a nicer car then 95% of the people in town. Its a source of freedom and pride haha. But when I park somewhere everybody knows its me. Black leather interior, black roof (the fancy vinyl-ish kind, not the cloth top), and of course, the exclusive red sally paint job. Cons: The air conditioning can barely keep up with the heat of two passengers on a hot sunny day (105 degrees), but thats to be expected with a black topped car. Also, the engine is limited in fourth gear. Ruins my fun. But then again theres no need to even be in fourth gear under 85 miles per hour.

    I used to own a 1968 Mustang coupe so this is a big step up. I was never really a fan of the modern day Mustang but this one captures the styling of the old with the reliability of the new. First off the car looks awesome, a real throw back to the muscle cars of the 60s. It also drives great. The engine sound sgood from inside the car but not overpowering, the handling is good; a little stiff but overall good. The ride is smooth and comfortable. I love this car and recommend it to any muscle car lover.

    i work at a Ford dealership as a mechanic so i pretty much know what to buy and what not to buy. The Mustang is one of Fords best cars. I know a 1969 and a 1970 Mustang were also well built. The cars are realiy close in looks thats why i bought - it brings you back to the 60s

    This is one great car. I love the way it drives and sounds. Sixty-eight fastback was always my dream car, so when the new body style came out is was a have to have for me! Love it!

  • The Horse Lives Again - 2005 Ford Mustang

    I recently bought a 2005 Metallic Blue, Mustang GT and it was easily the most fun car I have ever driven. You can feel the force of the acceleration by barely tapping the gas pedal and the stiff suspension allows it to take tight turns with ease. The retro body style is very appealing and I receive many fascinated glances from other motorists. The roar of the engine lets everyone know that this car has some serious power. The Mustang is an absolute joy to drive and it will definitely get you noticed.

    Great American muscle car and a worthy successor to the older Mustangs.

    What an incredible car! Mine is a torch red GT with red leather interior and now 1,000 miles, and what fun to drive. Also have an 03 Corvette convertible with 50th Anniversary package, and while I still love it, the Mustang is more immediate fun to drive - fast, sure-handling, great visibility and big fun! Not for the timid - gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes - on the road, at stoplights, in parking lots, etc. Ford got it right this time - drives like the true cousin of my 44K mi, 68 Mercury Cougar XR7 with 390. The sounds & overall feel are much more similiar than I ever would have expected. BIG FUN!
