  Never a Ford lover..until now. - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By dthuringer - May 29 - 6:33 pm

  I have never been a Ford guy. I have always liked GM products. But they took away the Camaro and Firebird. I was looking for a sporty car and the new Mustang caught my eye. My wife saw one at a local park and we decided to test drive one. Well, we went home with it that night. I love my new Mustang. Stick is so much fun to drive. In fact, we loved it so much we went back the next day and bought an automatic on for my wife as well. Now we both love our Mustang convertibles. The Shaker 1000 sound system in mine is awesome. The days go by so long at work now because all I want to do is drive.

  Wow -- why didnt I buy this sooner! - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Elexis - May 28 - 6:50 pm

  Ive been a Mustang owner 2 weeks now and wow, asking myself why I waited so long! Jet black V6 premium convertible with upgraded interior (black leather, black top and exterior sports package. Cant forget those side airbags and the active anti-theft for the insurance break. With the new body style it is a head turner from its shiny black exterior to its trippy old style rims. The driving experience is wonderful, hard to put into words really, but you could judge by the big grin on my face each time I drive it. The MPG advertised was accurate; I get about 17 city and up to 25 freeway... the main difference is I WANT to drive it and I take the long way just so I get to drive it more.

  Pony at 3 1/2 years - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Robert - May 12 - 9:29 am

  As soon as the new Mustangs hit the market in 2004, I knew I had to have one. I found a GT with the premium equipment package just the way I wanted it and at a good price (I was lucky) and took it home in December 2004. The car is now three and a half years old with about 15,000 miles on the odometer. I really enjoy driving the Mustang, and love the looks. Being an early build unit (built on October 4, 2004) it did have many of the bugs and issues the first batch suffered from, including issues with the radio, fuel tank, battery, alternator, and front end suspension. All repairs were covered by the warranty.

  Its my new daily driver! Sorry 95 5.0 - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By wae711 - May 9 - 8:30 am

  I waited months to get my hands on this Pony! It was worth the wait! It truly is the best GT Mustang ever to come out of the assembly line. The handling is excellent for a sports car.. it by far exceeds my 2 previous Mustangs (89 & 95). The power (300hp) is evident but sad to say, it still falls short of the last Camaros built. Also dont like all the computer stuff (safety add ons) that prevents it from doing cool stuff like burn outs. Hard to make this car spin tires. Luckily the aftermarket guys already have a remedy for this slight draw back. Nonetheless, its the best GT ever!

  One Bad Toy - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Kami Rhodes - April 14 - 7:53 pm

  This car has been the most awesome ride Ive ever owned. Everything about this car is FUN. Not only is the sleek design of this car is attractive but being able to just cruise with all that power under you is great. This car is extremely quick and has great handling.

  Fun and, so far, reliable - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By TCSoff - April 8 - 11:04 pm

  Bought with 7k miles, now at 26k, no major problems, just the same tail lamp keeps burning out. All-city driving yields terrible gas mileage, but cruising on hwy at 70mph, I get 28mpg easy. Installed AirAid conical air filter which made huge difference in throttle response, power and exhaust note. In 2nd gear at 3000 rpm, watch out! Very fast. Full-size luggage can fit in trunk, something most convertibles cant boast. Stereo is amazingly powerful, even on hwy w/roof down. Brakes could be better. Bumpy roads reveal rattles and looseness mainly in windows & roof. But for combo of V8 power, stick-shift control, topless motoring, mega- style and storage space, theres no competition at all.

  Sweet Ride - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Kim - April 8 - 10:50 pm

  Previously owned a 98 mustang - the 05 puts it in the dust! Loving every minute behind the wheel of this sweet ride. This car is a real head turner.

  Fun to Drive Stang - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Andy - April 5 - 5:03 pm

  My Legend Lime V6 convertible has been a wonderful experience. I bought it instead of a motorcycle due to 2 little ones at home because it has a back seat. I drove it to Illinois by myself from Minnesota the first week I bought it and put the cruise on with the top down and tunes cranked. I havent had one repair. It is hands down the best value for a sports car! I had 2 69 Stangs growing up and this one hasnt let me down for performance!

  One Bad Pony - 2005 Ford Mustang
  By Eduardo - March 31 - 10:09 pm

  What can i said im a Ford lover. This is my Mustang #5 and all I got to say that is a beast on the road. Awesome performance, body design, nice retro dashboard. Bottom line Ford did it again, great work! My only suggestion is the suspension should be dropped at least 1.5 inches. Car needs to be able to handle better in curves.
