This Year's Model Updates:

More features are added to the 2008 Ford Mustang. This includes standard front seat side airbags, available xenon headlights and, for the V6 models, 18-inch alloy wheels. Those who have a thing for pink should be thrilled with the new Warriors in Pink package that provides their ride with that color's accents inside and out. Sales of this package also help support the Susan G. Komen cancer charity.

Pros:
  • Powerful performance in V8 versions, eye-catching retro styling inside and out, friendly ergonomics.
Cons:
  • Stability control not available, dollar store interior plastics, seats lack sufficient lateral support for enthusiastic driving.

  • Little fat boy buys his dream - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Grew up always wanting a 70 Mustang GT fastback. Finally I am fortunate to buy a toy, and was happy to purchase a convertible that is this much fun to drive. I get such a rush from hearing the engine rumble on. Car has power I needed to get my sports car fix. It is toy for me but I am going to drive it more than originally planned. I hope my Mercedes and Jaquar dont get jealous.

    My 2008 Mustang GT is like none other. It is cleary the most affordable sports car out on the market. Sure the Charger has 425HP but theyre asking 35+ for it when the Mustang for about 27 can keep up with the Charger if not beat it on the quarter mile. There is nothing better then the sound of a V8 with 320 lbs of torque. The manual transmission is probably what makes this car so exciting to drive. I have currently installed a Flowmaster Exhaust System, K&N Aircharger system, White racing stripes, and a CDC Chin spoiler. It looks mean and its so easily customized.

  • A Mopar Guy likes a Ford - 2008 Ford Mustang

    I was looking forward to an 08 Dodge Challenger, but the dealerships were going to gouge me. I decided to look at a car to drive for a couple of years and decided on the Mustang GT in Vapor w/Foose wheels and Roush exhaust. It is quick,handles great, has comfoprtable seats and the styling is great both inside and out. The 3:55 gears pull the car hard but offer a great compromise for general driving. If the car continues to be this strong and is reliable, I may keep it and forget the Challenger.

  • Great 08 GT - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This car is my daily driver and it is a fun to drive car. Torque is awesome it will even squall tires in 2nd with traction control on. Interior is decent although mainly built from plastic. I would advise spending the $460 for the upgrade package. I get 23 mpg everywhere I drive although I do take it kind of easy and I drive a manual. Power from V8 is great hard to keep from flooring it all the time. Shaker 500 really Shakes interior and your eardrums. Exterior looks great. I love the late 60s early 70s throwback style. Exhaust sounds great even stock. Sounds the way a V8 should. The ride is good. Sometimes bumpy on rough roads but hey its a sports car. Handles great really hugs curves well.

  • I love this car - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I knew this was the car after I test drove it. The sound even on the V6 was plenty of drama. Im not looking to street race so the V6 model has very good acceleration and more sensible MPG. I cant wait to drive it all the time. Every time I drive it around, I get stares like its a Ferrari or something. Probably the over the top stripes. Anyway, Im very happy about the purchase and this is the coolest car I have owned. (I prefer this over my wifes new BMW 3-Series), thats gotta say something.

  • Silver beauty - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    This is my 4th Mustang and first GT. I love the sound, though I wish the automatic shift was a lot firmer. Very difficult to squeal tires. I do have a nagging dash noise, the same problem I had in the 05 V6. The exterior styling is great and the new silver vapour paint looks amazing in the sunlight. Might get some tuning done for some better shifting performance. Gas mileage in the V6 was a little bit better, but then I didnt drive the V6 like I do this one.

  • 2008 Stang GT - 2008 Ford Mustang

    This is one fun car to drive, I traded in a BMW 330 ci convertible. The quality if not of a BMW but, its also half the price. For the money the Mustang is the best deal out there. I owned a lot of Mustangs in the past, and you cant compre this one to the past stangs, the performace is outstanding. The old school look was very smart, if Ford keeps this good work up, I might even buy Ford stock.

  • This car still rocks! - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I used to have a 1967 coupe, it was solid, but I really dig this car! I am in the process of upgrading interior, exterior, performance, ( cool air filter, headers, jba exaust system, nw 9 mm spark plug wires.) new 18 inch chromed bullett rims. It is a car I am proud to own, and would recomend to anybody.

  • Very pleased so far - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I picked up my 2008 V6 Premium convertible this past Monday. Very pleased so far. I have a fully loaded car with the exception of NAVI. Very comfy ride altho you will feel the bumps. Very comfy and supportive seats. V6 has plenty of pickup (auto transmission) Cant speak to reliability yet, of course. Dont know how good the fuel economy will be but I dont really care because its a "fun" car that probably wont be used all year round. Too cold to put the top down yet, unfortunately.

  • 2008 Mustang Bullitt - Loads of Fun - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I purchased my Dark Highland Green 2008 Mustang Bullitt in Feb 08 at the urging of my 18 year old son. I already have 3,000 miles on it. It has a lot of power, a great muffler sound, excellent handling, and it is getting 22-23 MPG using regular gas in mixed freeway (rush hour) / city driving, even while "testing" the power a few times each trip. I have had a lot of fun cars over the years (69 Charger RT, MINI Cooper S, etc.), and this is the most fun car I have owned, by far.
