How do you spell fun to drive

Vehicle

2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

I have owned classic hot rods from the 60's, this is as much fun to drive with the comforts of new options. This is my second Mustang GT convertible, love it!

Favorite Features

6 CD changer, mach stereo, Mustang rims, power top, leather interior

Suggested Improvements

A bit more head room for driver. Power seat makes you sit a bit high and feel a little crammed against the top of the car

40th year for Mustang

Written by: J.D. Lugnutt on 06/15/2008

Vehicle

2004 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 5M)

Review

Has very peppy accelleration, good braking if not great, handles like it's on rails, has fiberglass Deck-lid and hood and rear spoiler, 16" aluminum wheels. I did install a dual exhaust system with dual catalyst 2" pipes and my gas mileage went up by 3-MPG city and almost 7-mpg hwy. No joke it made a big difference, with the factory style headers it has always been dependable, never let us down.. and at 26-28 mpg hwy. I'm a happy camper, And I would for sure buy another one when this one is worn out. Great little sporty car!

Favorite Features

Steering, handling, braking, and pick- up/acceleration. styling inside and out. and easy to service with rear wheel drive I do about 65% of my own service at home, Oil/Filter etc.

Suggested Improvements

With the 5-spd. manual transmission I find that 1st. gear is very low, it winds up to 3000-RPM very quickly, this needs addressed, as well as 5th. gear a very tall over drive, either a 6-spd would be better or a higher ratio 1st. gear.

Ford does make quality vehicles

Vehicle

2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Before getting the Mach1, I despised Fords and believed I would never buy one. The Mach1 was too good looking and fast to pass up. Its 40th anniversary emblems with its hood scoop and awesome rims turned heads. Its performance is great as well, but you pay for it in terms of gas mileage. Since owning the Mach1, I have not had anything go wrong. At worst, the interior dashboard and fixtures are cheap and quality but not something that cannot be replaced. Tires are costly but that is one of the costs anticipated when purchasing a high performance car. This is one vehicle

Favorite Features

Performance and styling. Mach1 sound system. Screaming Yellow paint.

Suggested Improvements

Better quality interior dashboard, sunroof or t-tops would be kool, a lower performance mode (turn off a couple cylinders on demand), continue production of Mach-1's.

Review

I have had my car for about a year now and I love it. I have not had a single problem with it. I even drove it through the winter and I manage well. Driving slow and having a good pair of snow tires really makes a difference. Overall the car is amazing and I love it.

Favorite Features

The styling. The interior design is nice and the fact that it handles well is awesome.

Dixie's review

2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

This was the first new car that I ever bought. In the nearly 4 years that I have owned Dixie (My wife named the car), I have not had one single problem. Well worth the wait to purchase a new mustang. Dixie is now and will always be a part of the family. I love my Mustang!

Favorite Features

Lots of power to go along with the low stance.

Go Topless

2004 Ford Mustang Deluxe 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 5M)

Review

The 2004 Anniversary Convertible is the way to go to celebrate your mid life crisis. The styling is sleek and the sonic blue is a classly color with twin 10" silver bumper to bumper stripes. The V-6 has more than enough power and the automatic shifts extremely smooth. The convertible top is quiet at highway speeds and is so simple to raise and lower. The bucket seats are firm and there is enough leg room and head room. Forget about the back seats being comfortable, they are there for looks only, not for carrying passengers. But, heck, the Stang is for having fun for two. The interior is well designed and controls are easy to reach and use. The fit and finsh is better than some more expense car

Favorite Features

The styling and looks and the convertible top.

Suggested Improvements

The cruise control needs a light on the dash like the 2005 Stangs have.

Really Neat Time Machine

2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

This vehicle is a great value and takes me back to when I was a kid. I've always admired the Mach 1's from my youth and this one delivers on par with the original. Superior car on the road and always gets attention. My wife digs it too!

Favorite Features

Power, styling and stick shift.

Suggested Improvements

Could have used the 6-speed as 5th gear is a heck of an overdrive.

2004 Ford Mustang Deluxe 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 5M)

Review

I've had this car for 2 years and it's amazing. It's everything you'd expect from 6 cylinders and a little more. And it turns heads everywhere I go!

Favorite Features

The quickness of the automatic convertible roof. The sound system is amazing for a stock system. I've had good experiences with brakes and tires.

2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

I'm 55, after lifting the hood, I went for my checkbook. I was looking for a V-8 Mustang but not this orange beast I bought. Looking out from behind the shaker hood in the drivers seat and "feeling" the freaky sound of the machine is the only way to go. The only car worth driving period. I went slow for 100 miles, next few hundred broke it in at many, many, redline shifts to get it used to me. It loves it, nothing has broken and I've got almost 100K on it now. Why stop driving it at 26mpg? Just put on some Blizzaks! Giddyup.

Favorite Features

Everything about this car is cool. Perfectly balanced power/weight with incredible stick-to-the road handling. Almost killed myself twice but the car took care of me and itself.

Suggested Improvements

They got this thing as good as it gets. Since it's an anniversary classic edition I plan to drive it forever. At a point in the future, it will be worth more than I paid for it but the fun of driving it has already given me my money's worth. If you own one, you know what I'm saying.

Review

I love this car, too bad there isn't more hp, but its great! It's cute; mine is red, people love it, they always want to race with me. I have a 5 speed, and I must say, it's not bad on gas at all. I was thinking of buying another but I like the 2005 Infiniti G35, which will be my nice buy because its faster! Highly recommended.

Favorite Features

It's cute, 2 door coupe.. 5 speed.

Suggested Improvements

more horsepower.
