Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Excellent performance, good handling, fancy body style. Low maintenance.
Cons: GT has more power than built to handle. Squeaks and creaks w/age (only audible inside).
The Bottom Line: A well made Ford product. Excellent performance, good handling when playing nice at high speeds. Superior factory paint job. Squeeks and creaks may be heard inside vehicle as it ages.
I purchased my red GT new back in 1997. I've driven her nearly 200K and she still virtually drives like new: No signs of transmission failure; Engine runs like the day it was born; Still handles well; Steering still good: Impressive interior/exterior ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 
Pros: Decent power stock. Good bang for the buck.
Cons: Aerodynamics is poor. Not enough torque.
The Bottom Line: Not the best bang for the buck. A 98 LS1 Fbody is better in almost aspect.
Well mine is supercharged making 449 RWHP but only 380 RWTQ. With a 13% drivetrain loss, it's about 516 HP at the crank. For some reason, this car feels weak on torque. I've got stock headers, high flow catalytic converters and a Mac catback. The 4.10 ... read more

I bought my 1997 Cobra #1562/6961 in May of 1997. It had 63 miles on the clock. I LOVE this car. I have been the exclusive driver of this car for the last 6 years. I have almost 40,000 miles on the ticker now. It drives great, had tons of power and a ... read more

Pros: Beautiful and Powerful appearance. The car handles superb, Fast and great for beating imports.
Cons: A few leaks from the weatherstripping but there easy to fix.
The Bottom Line: Coolest racing machine ever. The most style of all. Get a V8 Manual for power at you disposal and the race car feel.
You'll know once you test drive one.

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: 5 Speed, V8, Handling
Cons: Rough Ride, Terrible in the snow
The Bottom Line: This is a good overall sports car. Handling on dry road=5. Wet road=1. Do the math.
I have to say that my overall experience with the mustang was good. I bought it for $10,000 in 2000. It never had any mechanical problems. I barely could go anywhere in the snow with this vehicle and it is rather small. But for a purely "fun" car it ... read more

Pros: beautiful, fun to drive, powerful
Cons: Stick-shift difficulty, stearing on curves, squeaks, idle problems
The Bottom Line: I would reccomend this car to anyone who is willing to take it into the shop every once in a while.
This summer, my dad drove my new (to me anyway) 1997 cherry red mustang GT into the driveway. To say the least, I was in heaven. At age 17, this is my dream car. Although I have only had it a few months and have experienced a few problems, I wouldn't ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very Fast. Great Stereo. Chicks dig it Big Time.
Cons: Everyone will want to race you on I-95.
The Bottom Line: Buy it cause it's worth it. It does eat gas. Chicks will love it. Will look even better with twinkies (chrome rims) on it.
The car is great for a sports car. The adjustable seat is a definite plus. Second gear takes off like a rocket. Brakes work great. I have black leather which looks good until the sun bakes them to 125 degrees. The convertible top doesn't need much ... read more

Pros: good cruising car, sleek, trendy
Cons: poor steering, cramped backseat
The Bottom Line: Definitely for someone who is not looking for an efficient car that will, but rather a real eye-pleaser.
My father gave this car to me when he bought a larger vehicle that was more suitable for our large family.
I am a 17 year old high school senior. When I first began to drive the car, I didn't really get to experience it like a Mustang should, ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Timeless classic. Has the price of a sedan with the looks of a sports car.
Cons: An odd gas lid, bad traction, and teeny tiny backseat.
The Bottom Line: All in all, I suggest this car for anyone who doesn't have children, usually drives alone, and wants a good looking car because of it's reliabilty and charm.
As my 16th birthday rolled around, the dream of owning a hot set of wheels became more prominent in my blonde little head. I knew nothing about cars, engines, etc., but I did know that I loved the color purple. This 1997 V6 Mustang that sat at a local ... read more

Pros: Sexy, fast, reliable, convertible, sturdy.
Cons: No head room, cup holder in bad place, tiny backseat, gas hog, high insurance rates!
The Bottom Line: I would say that if you can afford it, get it. It's reliable, sexy, and fun. So far, its been my favorite car!
We (my boyfriend and I) bought "Betty" at our local dealer. We fell in love with her sweet looks and sexy style. She was a goddess! Unfortunately, we didn't quite know what we were getting ourselves into. We contacted our insurance company about taking ... read more

Pros: Looks very nice, low-rpm pickup, not too expensive
Cons: Plain on the inside, don't trust that rear suspension, jerky transmission
The Bottom Line: The car is not for everybody, but it had a very good looking package.
Do you know those days that seem perfect, just because of a little pleasant surprise ? Something like that happened to me in the early spring of '98. I was traveling to King of Prussia, PA, and was just picking up my rental at the Philly Airport Hertz. I ... read more

Pros: good car
Cons: none
The 1997 Ford Mustang has always been a car that I wanted. The cars handling is superb. The suspension needs a little work, but it does handle well. The engine runs smoothly with no misfires or noises. It only has a 3.4 DOHC v-6, but it provides ... read more

I purchased a 1997 Ford Mustang GT. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was that fact that it was stick (manual). The car looks wonderful and had no body damage what so ever. Just a missing Gear shift ball, so i went out and picked up a eight ... read more

This July I traded in my 84' GT Convertible for a 97' GT Coupe. The tears welled up in my eyes as I drove off in my new pony. The thought of leaving behind my pony girl just killed me. Now that I look back on that day I realize that that was the smartest ... read more

Pros: Styling, power
Cons: none
I bought my Mustang GT 1 year ago. It was a low mile, V8, convertible. I absolutely love it! A very fun car. The styling is great - better than the '99's and 2K's, and much nicer than the earlier boxy style. The fit and finish is fine. It did ... read more

Ford Mustangs are a great looking car, but how reliable are they? I purchased my Mustang GT convertible back in 1997, and stored it during winters. I thought that the shifting was a little rough, and I had to take it into the shop for re-alignment a ... read more
