  • I hope the 2005 V6 is better

    Jul 08 '05
    Pros: Comfortable seats, secure handling (on smooth roads)
    Cons: Weak, loud, and rough engine; lazy transmission, awful fit and finish

    Summary: Last week while vacationing in San Francisco I rented a Ford Mustang convertible from Enterprise for a three-day excursion up the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). On the second day we drove over the coastal range into the Anderson valley so my wife could ...

  • Enjoy the Power of Hundreds of Horses

    Jan 17 '04
    Pros: Acceleration; Sporty look and feel; Great sound system
    Cons: Small, tight interior; Ride isn't very smooth; Tiny trunk

    Summary: Ford Mustang is a classic sports car that has been in production now for more than 40 years. Popular as a “muscle” car, the Ford Mustang has been helping drivers tear up the streets for four decades with its quick acceleration and sporty styling. ...

  • Maybe It's Time Ford Stopped Making Them Like They Used To

    Sep 14 '04
    Pros: GT's burbling V8 has loads of character, exterior styling still looks great.
    Cons: Awkward driving position, dated interior, lifeless steering, laborious transmission, unsophisticated suspension, uninteresting V6 model.

    Summary: My Experience I recently attended the Ford Racing Innovation Drive event in Pasadena. It was held at Irwindale Speedway, and was essentially a showcase for Ford's new 2005 models--with the all-new Mustang as a centerpiece. After an awesome ...

  • Mustang GT: This Tired Old Horse Needs to Learn Some New Tricks

    Nov 12 '06
    Pros: Engine note, RWD, a fast car that is actually fun to drive slow.
    Cons: Fit/finish, tall gears, blind spots, personality, mileage, comfort, transmission, practicality, seating, insurance.

    Summary: I used to have a love affair with American muscle cars of the 1960's. I have always been interested in small, cheap and overpowered cars for the emotions they can provide. Around the time I was getting my driver's license, I actually bought an old ...

  • Maybe Not Practical, But Well Worth the Price and the Looks

    Jan 31 '05
    Pros: Inexpensive, Powerful, Well Built, Head Turner
    Cons: Fuel Economy, Practicality, Rear Seat Comfort

    Summary: When I woke up on New Years Day 2005, I did not expect to have a new car sitting in my driveway a few hours later. My 1988 Honda Accord sedan, derisively nicknamed "Grandma's Grocery Getter", was parked out front, legally undriveable due to a hit-and-run ...

  • Waking up the neighborhood.

    Jan 08 '05
    Pros: price, performance, style, large hobbiest bolt on market, and great factory options
    Cons: Gas mileage, and very small back seats

    Summary: I'd like to start off by saying that I actually own this vehicle, and not reviewing based on a test drive. Reviewing on a test drive is nice, but it won’t really tell you how it handles in day to day use. The Mustang is rated the best-selling ...

  • Thoroughly outdated, but still a blast

    Nov 04 '04
    Pros: V8 power, V8 music, Rear drive
    Cons: The 1978 Fox platform is really showing its age

    Summary: I drove the 2004 Mustang GT (manual transmission) back-to-back with the new 2005 model. Much of this review, as was my review of the 2005, is a direct comparison with the newer car. Each review is from the point of the view of the car being reviewed, ...

  • Very, very fun vehicle - however, a couple downsides

    Feb 01 '05
    Pros: Amazingly fun to drive, easy to upgrade, affordable
    Cons: Shoddy interior, poor gas mileage

    Summary: Like a previous reviewer, let me begin by stating that I have owned a 2004 GT convertible for about a year now, and have over 16K miles on it. I wanted a Mustang for a LONG time, and finally went and got one (much to my wife's chagrin). Another caveat ...

  • A Fun and Exciting Car

    Jul 03 '05
    Pros: Style, performance, price
    Cons: Small rear seats. Too firm a ride for anyone looking for comfort.

    Summary: I own a silver 2004 Mustang GT, 40th Anniversary Edition, automatic transmission, with a premium sound system, the Mach 1000 with 6 CD changer. Personally, I like the styling of the 2004 better than the 2005, though I know the 2005 is all the rave these ...

  • Very fun car

    Jul 11 '08
    Pros: Price, looks, performance, sound system,turn radius, tall 5th gear, aftermarket upgrades, rear vision
    Cons: Plasticky interior, cramped seats all around

    Summary: I recently bought a 04 Mustang GT in black/black leather with the 5spd trans and the premium trim with the Mach 460 sound system. Firstly I LOVE the looks of the car, the stock bullitt rims are great and the stock Mach 460 sound system is one of if not ...

  • 04 GT Convertible suits me fine

    Dec 07 '04
    Pros: GREAT stock exhaust sound. Aggressive styling. 40th anniversary is cool.
    Cons: I have no cons to list!

    Summary: I drove the new 05 Mustang then drove an 04. The 05 is a bit more refined but I preferred the torquier better sounding 04. It has a muscle car feel that this old hot rodder (56 yr old) feels comfortable with. I bought a loaded Torch red 04 GT premium

  • Now I know why.

    Sep 11 '06
    Pros: Excellent looks, brute force v-8 pull.
    Cons: Poor workmanship with body panels matching unevenly, and troublesome reliability. Poor fuel economy.

    Summary: I was in the market for a car for my 22 year old son, something sporty this time. I took out a low mileage 05 Mustang GT with a 5-speed. I loved the looks of the car, and asked to take it for a ride. Of course, the salesman went with me. He suggested

  • the modern pony car

    Nov 10 '04
    Pros: Rear wheel drive, 6-disc CD player, sporty styling, punchy V-6
    Cons: none really, its 20K economy/sport car, asking more is dumb

    Summary: I have driven Lincolns for a few long years. I was looking into buying another till I saw a black '04 Mustang. I figured a change of pace was in check. I bought my "Eleanor" Aug, '04. She has the Pony Package, leather rapped steering wheel, GT hood
