Love to drive this car. I have a 40 anniversary pony, now I bought this 45 ann. So far so good. Only complaint is the seat belt is very hard to get to it should be like the other pony attached to the seat. Better than the new camaro.

Favorite Features

shift knob

Suggested Improvements

seat belt placement. better interior material

Review

Having been a Mustang lover my whole life finally had the option to purchase the '09, and couldn't be more happy. The V6 isn't as quick at takeoff, but its gas mileage and insurance benefits outweigh that for the financially strapped. The car is very comfortable to ride in, and for a sports car feels very roomy in the cab. The handling is exceptional and moves, dives and dodges quickly with a velvet touch. For the price the '09 Mustang is hard to beat, its a lot of car for such a small price.

Favorite Features

great Handling, decent MPG both city and HWY. Comfortable to ride in, even over long distances. Quiet sounding ride, very little road noise, but the acceleration can be felt and heard!

Suggested Improvements

The interior. This has been everyones complaint here, and they're right, but a lot of the cars made today have pretty plasticy cheap feels. I think Ford can do better, this isn't terrible, but noteworthy. Also the emergency brake, its really ugly.

Japan Car Fan Buys Ford-Friends in Shock

2009 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

Our criteria for a car, performance, braking, handling, and comfort without breaking the bank. Plus we need to both fit (she is short and I am tall)The melted down soap designs are boring along with the performance. But our surprise and complete shock was the Mustang in California Special trim. Absolutely beautiful to look out and the build quality was equal to anything we investigated.But to our shock and surprise, the car was comfortable quiet, and performed beyond expectations. Not a sports car (watch that live rear axle) but for an everyday driver, we now race for the keys in the morning. Gas mileage hurts a little, but its hard not to step on the gas for an ear to ear grin

Favorite Features

Shaker 1000 -They are not kidding Manual transmission-Baby smooth shifts. Brakes-Stop on a dime and give you change.

Suggested Improvements

Raise the passenger seat up. Any other improvement would bring up the price of this bargain.

Review

I love the look of this car. I was always a fan of them and finally purchased my first pony this year. The outside is awesome and the v6 engine is especially peppy being a 4.0. It is not great on gas, but I do average in the mid-20s on the highway. the interior is fairly cheezy. the glovebox is pretty small (my old Dodge neon had a larger and more functional glovebox) and the center console is also kind of impractical, but all around it is more of a sportcar than anything else, so it is nothing to really get picky over. also they used a lot more cheap plastic than i would of liked. all around, i would purchase it again, and love it tho

Favorite Features

shaker 500 audio system, peppy 4.0 v6 engine, 45 anniversary side badges, interior ambient color changing lighting

Suggested Improvements

ford skimped out on the interior quality so much. for a nicer car they sure did load up on the cheap plastic on the dash. i have the upgraded "alumnium" trim, which seems to be shiny plastic and not metal. also there is plenty of room for the center console and glovebox, why are they so tiny?

Review

My favorite thing about owning this Mustang is just the comfort of the ride. It's easy and relaxing, yet I have power too. I also love the back bench, I can now take both my best friends with me instead of having to either leave someone out or have to take two cars.

Favorite Features

My favorite feature is the handeling, that includes the feel of the rear- wheel drive.

2009 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

I can't believe a car that is this much fun to drive can be bought for this price. Plenty of power, great exhaust note (compare it to the weak sound of a 380Z), comfortable GT500 seats, aggressive exterior styling, and with amenities like the super smooth Tremec 5 speed, the light touch hydraulic clutch, and the 500 watt Shaker stereo this car is a dream. No wonder Ford is not looking for Govt. bailout money like GM and Chrysler.

Favorite Features

Gobs of HP and Torque. Exhaust sound blows away other cars. Handling is nimble and tight. The brakes are out of this world. Multi-colored dash gauges are a nice touch. GT500 seats are great. Imagine being able to use 87 or 91 Octane and still be able to draw 315 HP/330 ft-lbs. of torque.

Suggested Improvements

The center console could be more usable for small items. Better inside lighting at night. The long doors are hard to get used to in parking spots and tight garages.

Review

Overall a great car for the price! The styling is great and I get tons of compliments. I bought the V6 model for gas and insurance reasons and am happily surprised by the power. I have the manual transmission so I get more power and it is more fun to drive. The premium edition is a must have option. I plan on giving this to my son in two years and then I will be buying the GT version.

Favorite Features

The auto up/down power windows, the Shaker 500 stereo rocks, the paint(fit/finish)is flawless

Suggested Improvements

An inside trunk button, an outside temp gauge, the emergency brake lever is kinda ugly but I see they fixed that on the 2010.

Mustang GT Bullit edition

Vehicle

2009 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 5M)

Review

This is a sporty car, not a sports-car, meaning it is fast but not Porsche, Corvette, or Viper fast. I like the price, the look, the engine & exhaust sound, 6xMP3 player w/ 500 watts stereo, navi, comfy seats. Interior looks and feels cheap except for the leather seats. Seat belt is strangling me. Can't say anything about reliability yet.

Favorite Features

V8, price, look, stereo, sound, short- throw shifter, "sleeper"

Suggested Improvements

Interior needs improvement visually and material-wise (I belief Ford addressed that in the 2010 edition). Gas milage (16 MPG) is too high for a 315 HP 2+2 seater.
