2001 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 5M)
Review
This car is in my top 3 of cars I have ever owned. Didn't want to pay the extra insurance or worse gas mileage so I went for the 3.8 V6. I was worried it would be a wimp, not a chance. Rivals the power I have in my V8 Grand Marquis! Handled great on corners. Got 26 MPG consistently! Sold at 78k and never had a repair!
Favorite Features
Power, hyper green color, style was a head turner, 26 MPG
Suggested Improvements
God-awful in the winter! This was the only reason I got rid of it!

2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
Review
I have owned one for over a year and am pleased. They are "finiky" and require a close eye (oil level) but seem to have a solid base. I am proud to be one of the few SVT owners! andrew

2001 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
Review
I've only had it for a few months now but I can honestly say it's by far my favorite car. It's luxurious and sporty at the same time, while still living up to it's muscle car reputation. Very comfortable seats and great overall design. I get compliments everywhere I go. With 260 horsepower and so many aftermarket options, this car is great for both everyday driving and taking to the track. This car is an American classic and once you drive one you'll understand why. It's a must have! I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants the best of both world's in an automobile.
Favorite Features
Powerful engine, stylish and comfortable design, great handling
Suggested Improvements
CD player could function a bit better, but other than that, no complaints.
Good car for the money

2001 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
Review
I have had this car for over a year now and I love it. It is fun to drive and gets respectable gas mileage for what it is. However, I have had several non-engine related mechanical issues. I have had to replace all 4 power windows this year, and my Mach CD player broke and is expensive to fix. I have also had to fix the power window switch. But the engine has been flawless. If you want a simple fun convertible, I highly recommend this car.
Favorite Features
Exterior design, my 5 speed transmission and Mach stereo system
Suggested Improvements
More reliable interior features.
Good so far

2001 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 5M)
Review
The car is fun to drive. Very different from the other cars in its class. It's very crude and unrefined. But you get a totally different kind of experience driving this. The exhaust sounds great. It is a little hard to shift with the manual transmission and it grinds when I try to put it in reverse gear after starting it. Other than that, it has been pretty reliable.
Favorite Features
Styling, wheels, engine sound.
Suggested Improvements
Smoother shifting, more power from the 3.8L.

2001 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 5M)
Review
I'm gonna start off by saying I love this car. It was my first sports car and I miss it very much. Its underpowered unfortunatly. For some reason Ford managed to get only 192 horsepower out of a 3.8 liter V6. It oversteers tremendously and driving it in rain or snow is a funny joke. It's just something about driving a Mustang that is just amazing.
Favorite Features
Exterior is beautiful, so is interior. Donuts and burnouts are very very, very fun!
Suggested Improvements
None
I'm happy with my choice

2001 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
Review
I had been shopping around for convertibles and one day I happened to stumble upon this one. I'm glad I went with this car because it was probably the best convertible with a decent amount of performance I've come across for my price range. I have an automatic model and prefer a manual transmission but because this car is so much fun to drive and it's my daily driver, I don't mind not having control of the gears. I've only had the car for less than a week and bought it with 86000 miles so I can't say much about reliability. It eats gas up in the city but you have to kind of expect that from a V8.
Favorite Features
Stock it has plenty of power for the price (KBB is at about 11.6k right now), convertible is great on nice days, responds great to bolt-on performance parts with a tune, powerful stereo system, one of the best Mustang generations for exterior styling.
Suggested Improvements
Shifter and radio feel far away, small backseats, seats are kind of stiff feeling(i have leather ones), could use a more powerful subwoofer.

Review
Bought her in APR of'02. The stock power grabbed ahold of me and never let go. Didn't lose a race. I have installed started to up grade. K&N FIPK,75mm throttle body/upper plenum, long tube heders with high flow cat's, Flow master cat back,4.10 gears, Hypertech power programmer and Micky Thompsons for the track. This season I have installed a tower strut brace and sub frame braces. For the street I run Good Year 245/45 ZR17 in. tires mounted on Replica BLT 17x9 chrome wheels. I just bought a Gtech performance meter to tell me my actual HP. I've done some paper calcs. and it was above 300 HP, pretty good for just bolt on mods. Not bad since she started at 260. I love her, my wife gets jealous.
Favorite Features
The custom metalic pearl red with clear coat actualy changes color as you walk around her. I don't think the scoops are dorky as the editors comment posted. I have had comments from people thinking it was early model stang. When I fire her up I smile from ear to ear and heads turn everywhere.
Suggested Improvements
I say don't do to much because then everyone can buy one but who's Mustang is it? With the mods I have done I know it is my stang and no one has one like it. I like being able to build on Fords beautiful design and go from there. Just one stang owners opinion.

Review
Bought the car in December 2007. Drove it 2.5 hours to get it home. Hated to stop driving it. It's a blast to drive. Had several people pull even with me on the interstate to check it out.The dark highland green color is beautiful. I think I found my second childhood.
Favorite Features
Looks, sound, torque, brakes, handling. Get the picture?
Suggested Improvements
For me nothing. The car has it all

Review
I haven't had it for that long but the car is just awesome. Gets off the line real quick. Also, once it hits 2nd and 3rd gear the car just takes off. Rides smooth and no complaints at all so far.
Favorite Features
Dual exhaust, V8 engine, exhaust system, horsepower, torque, and the hood scoop.
Suggested Improvements
Only thing is more horsepower and torque would be nice. Thats it though.
