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.

  • Bite the Bullitt - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I purchased one or the special edition Bullitt Mustangs. What a fantastic car. Lack of emblems, no spoiler, black wheels, but the big pipes coming out of the back tells it all. Wanted a green metallic car and this is the only Mustang made in that color. Price is extremeley low for what you get and mileage much higher then expected (not great but higher then exected for this type of car). Anyone looking for a low price sports cars, check this one out. Hurry they are limited editions.

  • Ponys in Snow - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    My wife and I special ordered this Mustang, and I have to admit that is the way to go. Ford offers the same price whether you buy off the lot or get it custom, so why not get what you want? We live in Pittsburgh, and I have had to drive the car several times in snowy and icy conditions. It handles as well as a rear wheel drive sports car can (with a few cinder blocks in the trunk). The dealer told me the 8 cylinder will not - I definitely believe him now. I love to drive this car, and it looks great in Grabber Orange with the Pony Package added. We also got the ambient lighting, MobileEaze, and interior upgrade package. The accessories are well worth the price. Enjoy!

  • Good Times - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    In the year 1999 I bought my first Mustang GT. After installing the K & N air filter and the Tornado I enjoyed the many days of burn outs that I would do. In February 2008 I traded the 1999 GT for the 2008 GT. I also put the same set up on the 2008. The 2008 rides smooth, it quiet on the inside and fast. I get about 19 mpg in the city and about 28 mpg on the highway. I am proud to be a Mustang owner.

  • Fun convertible - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Just purchased this car 2 weeks ago to relieve my mid-life crisis. I was smiling all the way home, driving it with the top down. This car is all I expected and more. Probably not the most comfortable ride for some (its not a Lexus), but this is more of a sports car and I do like the feel of the road coupled with the 5 speed manual transmission. Amazing pickup, very easy to go way over the speed limit, seems to always want to go faster, gas mileage not bad for a GT. Leather buckets are comfy. Have always had good luck with Fords, Im hoping this one will also be as reliable.

  • Unbelievable - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    A step up from the GT. From the moment I sat in it, I knew I had to have it. This is coming from a guy who owned 2 Vettes in the past! The seat hugs you, the power shocked me. Ive also owned a 1996 Cobra- this thing would maul it. At first glance my car looks like a six cylinder Stang, in fact thats what I thought it was...negative. Also love the fact theres no badges-except for the ponys on the rims and BULLITT faux gas cap on the rear panel. The shaker 1000 sound system is louder than the Bose system in previous cars Ive owned (a big plus for me!). The fact that its 1 of 7000 is reason enough to invest in one, in my opinion, bang for buck, unbeatable.

  • Great car but squeaks and groans - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    For the money this has to be the best performance car available today. This is my second Mustang and when it comes to performance it really screams while delivering great fuel mileage from regular gas. It handles very good and actually is very comfortable on long trips. It does have a fault however. The gearshift lever vibrates and resonates when accelerating which takes away from the otherwise pleasant experience. It also has periodic squeaks and rattles from the front that just can not be found. Drives me crazy and the dealer can not find or even agree that the sounds exist. Ford needs to fix this, my 88 Mustang had none of this noise and it was on a worse platform?

  • 08 Mustang Bullitt - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Balance is the keyword for this car. Handling, power, comfort are all in sync. Ive driven only BMWs for the past 20 years and was surprised at how refined this car is. I am a tall guy...visibilty and ease of getting in and out are better than my 5 series BMW. Even though it is a stealth looking car, dont get it if you dont want to answer lots of questions. Everyone wants to talk about it.

  • Awesome in Theory - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    The GT is an awesome design. IMO, its the sexiest car on the road. It seems well built, very solid, and decently comfy. Interior layout could be more ergonomic, and needs a storage tray. Engine has lots of grunt, but the car seems too heavy to be truly fast. Still, plenty of fun to drive. However, while its a cool ride, it seems very prone to manufacturers defects in the drive train. Over the past 2 months, its been in the shop for nearly 30 days, and both the transmission and rear end assembly have needed replacement. Car is entirely too new to have so many problems. I plan on sending the GT back, and I wont be getting another.

  • First American Car - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ill start by saying that the largest engine Id ever had on a car before was a 2.0l Golf and I thought that that was obscene. Im European, we pay close to $9 for a gallon of gas, were used to being frugal. But Im loving the Mustang. Sure theres an annoying leather on leather buzz from the manual stick shift and a really annoying creak from the left a pillar but it looks great, cruises like a dream and the Shaker 500 system is great I even manage an average of 26mpg (75 - 25 highway - town) so Im far from disappointed with this

  • Best value - 2008 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love this car. Black pony with 18s, leather. Looks great, nice sound system, rides nice, adequate power. It was also relatively inexpensive for a well equiped car. Car had zero defects. Gets 24 highway for real, but averages only about 18-19 combined city/highway. Regular gas though, most performance vehicles use only premium.
