Overview & Reviews

2001 Ford Mustang GT models get unique hood and side scoops, so that you can tell 'em apart from V6 models. They also receive standard 17-inch wheels, and V6 Convertibles get 16-inch wheels as standard. All cars have a revised center console and blacked-out headlights and spoilers. The Mach 460 stereo system comes with an in-dash six-disc CD changer. A new "premium" trim line is created for both V6 and V8 models. After a one-year hiatus, the Ford SVT Mustang Cobra returns for 2001.

• Strong V8 power, competent chassis and brakes, good crash test scores, ragtop option.

• Solid rear axle, dorky-looking fake hood and side scoops, poor stereo ergonomics.

  American Icon Mustang GT Convertible - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Ben Leone - September 7 - 12:50 am

  This car is a real looker, you would swear it had eyes. Mine has the roll bar it is killer to look at. Then the light turns green, pure exhilaration, you have to behave because 0-60 in 5.7 seconds can get you in deep quick. I have ridden in more comfortable cars but admit that if I want comfort I will take my Mark VI. This Ford product is tops to drive and own.

  High performance commuter - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By JerryB - September 6 - 2:00 am

  The Cobra is a high performance sports car, but, when driven sanely, is a nice ride, very reliable, and a lot of fun. I drive 120 miles/day commuting. I have not had a single problem with this car, which I have owned for over a year now. The car is docile and easy to drive, but when you need the power and handling, its there for the asking. (I get a consistent 20.5 mpg. Premium fuel is required.) I did get new tires at 25,000 miles, as the OEM were wearing fast and not good in the rain. I had a 91 5.0 LS Convertible that was equally reliable for the 135,000 miles that I drove it.

  01 Mustang Cobra Convertible - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Nowell - August 28 - 3:13 pm

  This car replaced my 01 Trans Am WS6. Cobras interior quality is a little better but fells cramp. What I like the most in this car is that its a convertible! The T/A is very stable at speed, but for side street performance Id go with the Cobra. My conclusion is Cobra is fun to drive in the street and the convertible makes it looks better.

  Fun is a four letter word spelled FORD! - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By AJ - August 22 - 6:17 pm

  The FORD Mustang GT Convertible is a blast and a treat to enjoy. Even as a 2001 model purchased used online, I am pleased with the performance. The only ding would be the fake hood scoop leaks water a good half an hour after a car wash and thus leave water spots on the hood, etc. Otherwise, let the good times roll!

  2001 Bullitt - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Andrew Tansley - August 7 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is fun to drive, and reliable. The only thing is the gas mileage. Its a guzzler.

  Be Frank Bullitt! - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By BACKNBLACK - July 14 - 10:00 am

  My dealer called me and told me he had a special Mustang that I had to see. I fell in love with this car when i first saw it. I have always been a McQueen fan and I love the chase in the movie "BULLITT". The car looks, sounds and goes better than any other car for the money!

  Great Mustang - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By nelsomc - July 8 - 10:52 pm

  This is probably the best Mustang ever built. Classic, unique and really cool looking. I have made a few modifications for very little money and I can leave all the C5 Corvettes looking at my tail lights. What a great car to drive. It gets attention from kids to grandmas. I only wish the trunk were bigger, but thats my only complaint. I think this model looks better than the new Mustang and will wait to see what the 2007 Bullitt looks like.

  01 SVT Cobra Convertible - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Tom D - June 9 - 6:08 pm

  What a great car. The car will do whatever you ask of it, from pushing it hard to weekly commuting. Bought used at 22K miles and selling it at 64K miles over 2.5 yrs. Seems to have above average resale value. Had thermostat fail which almost caused a melt down, but didnt do any damage. Overall, a fairly expensive vehicle to own/operate. Repair parts, brake pads/rotors, tires seem expensive due to low availability and more performance oriented design. Insurance wasn’t bad but could be with questionable record. Questionable usage during winter, didn’t have many problems driving in Michigan but certainly need to pick your battles and find alternate transportation/stay home a few days.

  Still a FORD! - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By DjR - May 6 - 3:30 am

  After searching out what I thought would be a great car. I found a car that is not so great! I am 64 and the interior for me is horrible. The seats are angled weird. My knee hit the turn signal all the time. Why is it so low? Poor design inside. I enjoy the look of the exterior which is what caught my eye to begin with. But it is not the car I was thinking it would be. A let down. Fast and good looking yes. but a lot of money for just a plastic FORD! Very cheaply made and little to no quality put into it. I had a 300z before this and I am going back to the Z. Day and Night. Rent one first before buying a Mustang. I should have.

  My favorite car - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Justin Hilton - March 25 - 11:28 am

  This is my 3rd mustang. My first with a v8. True to its title as an American muscle car, it lacks the refinement you would find in other types of vehicles. Drafty inside with a lot of interior noise. Choppy ride ... but despite all this it is still my favorite car ever.
