Overview & Reviews

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.

• Powerful performance in V8 versions, eye-catching retro styling inside and out, friendly ergonomics.

• Stability control not available, dollar store interior plastics, seats lack sufficient lateral support for enthusiastic driving.

  think before you buy - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Roger Snyder - October 16 - 3:51 pm

  this car was bought new sight unseen,What a mistake.Interior has little to no design.If you like plastic you will love the interior because other than the uncomfortable seats it is all plastic.Cup holders are non functional in the standard shift model.The back seats serve no purpose.exterior look is ok but needs some accents.Handling is not very good at higher speeds.Engine has some power but nowhere near as responsive as the older models.(2000 and older)The best way to describe the ride is to drive a dump truck with concrete wheels.Needless to say the 2008 mustang gt is not a good choice.Try the new chevy camaro,better looks and more speed.

  Sure Glad I Bought the Convertible - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By John - October 9 - 7:49 pm

  Always wanted a muscle car but got married young while my friends were driving Mustangs, Road Runners, and Corvettes. Now they are driving mini vans while I am cruising in my GT convertible. Started talking to my wife about getting a Mustang since the 05 hit the dealers, not really thinking that she would go along with it until one day she said "if we get one can it be a convertible", it was then that I knew she wanted it as much as I did. I hesitated about the convertible since I never had one and I remember the old rag tops leaking with lots of wind noise. I test drove one and found it to be pleasanty quiet with the interior of the roof very plush, hardly looking like a convertible.

  Faster Than a Speeding Bullitt - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By RPR - July 9 - 5:31 pm

  Purchased this 2008 Bullitt in January 2009 at Ford employee pricing plus $2000 rebate. The exhaust note on this car is incredible- every time I start it I feel like an 8 year old who just stole the keys to the Batmobile. Edmunds review of this car lauds the shifter, they werent kidding- incredibly smooth. Fantastic seats, great appearance. Fuel economy is poor in town given the low gearing but Ive averaged 25+ at steady 75 mph on the highway.

  I LOVE THIS CAR - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By pdxjimbob - May 30 - 12:15 pm

  My car has the shaker stereo, leather, etc. I was surprised that the Radial T/As it came with stunk - got rid of those tires and replaced them with some hot Falkens - now it handles GREAT. It is really just a two seater tho - dont really know why Ford had to design the rear seat with the back practically straight up but it makes sitting back there a painful experience if more than a couple blocks. The front seats are great - and LOTS of leg room. You can see the seams in some of the plastics which detracts from an otherwise well executed interior design. I bought the V6 thinking it would get better mileage - I shoulda got the 8 I think it mighta got better mileage.

  American Car that is a kick to drive - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By gvtrai58 - May 19 - 9:49 pm

  This car does more than expected for the price. The 300 horses give a fun launch from a stop and provide pretty good high speed acceleration. Floor this car at 100mph and in seconds you are at speeds you shouldnt be doing - not that you should have been doing 100mph in the first place. But, the car performs well at high speed. What really impressed me was the ability to take corners with this car. This car eats turns for breakfast and you would have to spend a lot more money to equal the handling of this car. Now is the car comfortable hitting potholes? No, and it wasnt meant to be. So, if you want above average power and looks for a fairly low price this is a good choice.

  Heavy Duty Smooth Rolling Art - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By All American Muscle - May 9 - 2:26 am

  The Mustang GT is the musclecar buy of the last 40 years! It goes well, stops, idles, and cruises like a dream. It runs on 87 gas and gives all 300 Horses doing it. The car is when driven responsibly the safest sporting car in the U.S.A. The visibility is excellent, the exhaust note is hypnotic. The stock stereo has cheap made in China speakers that sound anywhere from ok to very very poor especially at volume. The a/c is iced cold anytime right away! The ergonomics and controls are sheer simplicity. The retro design of the interior with the satin aluminum package is a work of art. The plastics are thick and affixed very well. The surfaces may appear cheap but they are strong! Wow!

  A lot of fun for the money - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By 1trickpony - April 14 - 7:25 pm

  I purchased my 2008 Mustang V6 with Pony Package at the beginning of 2009 and I love it! You cant beat the beautiful styling for the dollar. Pony package adds a performance look with fog lamps and Bullitt wheels. GT handling package really makes cornering a BLAST! Mine also has the optional Shaker 500 audio system, which I HIGHLY recommend if you are a music fan. Fuel economy is OK, I would have expected better from a V6 but its not all that bad. The enthusiast in me cant help but want just a little more when I press the gas pedal, but this car has PLENTY of pep for most people, and it sounds really cool when accelerating. If you want power I suggest paying the extra $ for a GT.

  So much more for so much less money - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Dennis - March 31 - 1:39 pm

  A great car! It is what it is a pony car with grunt,style and flair. I get positive comments from 10 to 80 year old guys and dolls. My Acura rarely gets attention like the Mustang!

  excellent all-around! - 2008 Ford Mustang
  By Alan - March 31 - 9:17 am

  My main focus is to drive a car that doesnt make feel bad about the purchase price or the fuel economy. My V8 gives me 24.7/MPG combined city/highway. I have the power when I need it and the smooth ROAR to brag about it. I didnt pay through the nose like I would have with some other performance cars and the looks are great. It doesnt have the girlie bells and whistles, like my wifes car does, but I didnt have to pay for them either. Its athletic, handsome, inexpensive to maintain, and its american made and proud of it. Dont just buy one, buy two for the price one foreign made! When youre old and cranky spend your money on a luxury expensive car that only an expensive mechanic can fix
