I love my stang. I put aftermarket exhaust, air intake with K&N filter, electronic distributor, thicker spark plug wires and better spark plugs. Very fun to drive and sounds great with true dual exhaust!

I've had this car about 6 months now and have had no problems at all. It had 97K miles when I bought it but later I realized the odometer doesn't work so I don't really know how many it has on it. My favorite things about it are that it has great looks, it gets good gas mileage, and all the power options on it. Overall this is the best economical american muscle car for the money.

I love my Stang! I bought it five years ago, and have sped around in it everyday. It handles great in snow and rain considering it is rear wheel drive. Today a drunk driver smashed it up and I am so depressed.

Mustang Gt Review

It's a fun car to own if you are handy with a tool box. I like the car but I don't trust Ford quality. Ford's use of plastic in critical engine parts is senseless. The intake manifold cracked (4.6L engine). The cheap use of plastic vacuum lines behind the dash. You have no leg room in the rear. It's an affordable sports car to own. It has plenty of power. There are plenty of aftermarket parts to keep your Mustang looking good. Be sure to get a good maintenance manual to save you money on the repairs.

The most reliable car I ever had

My car was and I say "was" because I sold it almost three years ago, why? Not because I did not like it, I loved it! But because I also own two more Mustangs, a Foxbody which is a true classic muscle car nowadays, and a 2009 GT CS. My green 96 GT coupe had almost 300K miles when I sold it, and couldn't keep three v8's. This car was a dream for it had some few bolt ons such as gears, Accufab throttle body, CAI, Steeda clutch and cable,and better heads. Those little upgrades made it a revvy happy machine and it was really quick off the line, it would spin tires through the first three gears. It was absolutely the most reliable car I owned so far, i replaced the alternator, radiator, and of course, I won't hide I replaced the plastic intake after a lot of happy fast miles. The car handled also really good, the interior was nice and handsome, and the seats, definitely not good for such a car. I loved racing it and everything about it, so if you want a still affordable muscle car with a mix of modern and classic with go for them! The 4.6 engine is one of the best Ford engines. And although most looking for these cars they look out mostly for the 5.0 last years which were 1994, 1995, these 4.6 engines are as much as good and better to rev farther up on the redline. Hurry up for in recent months these cars are also going high on value along the Foxbodies..They might not look as good as a fox and maybe they look like all 90's bar soap jelly bean styled, but they are great!
