My third Mustang
I have now owned three Mustangs starting with one from back in the sixtys. Then one from the early eightys. My 2000 Mustang is a fun vehicle that is also economical to drive. I am getting 20+ MPG in in town. It has enough pep to force you back into the seat and if you get the urge to hit a widing road it gives you the feeling of a true sprots car. When I was thinking about purchasing it I was worried that it wouldn't match up to my previous Mustangs. It doesn't have the muscle from my 67' but it sure handles alot better.
my 42nd car
I have the v6 convertable with 5 speed in blue/black top/leather interior. No mechanical failures with car. No data on 5 speed aside from my own-no problems, notchy,occ missed shift. Insurence is expencive, a new Corvet would only be $7.50 more per month, an RX 8 would be $2.50 less per month. The v6 with 5 speed is about as quick as the v8 with automatic, and provides enough performance to satisfy most people who want v8 power. The convertable top is excellent- shows no wear after 4 years of taking it up and down daily in the blazing Arizona sun. To sum it up- a bargain used performance car that is dependable and fun, but expencive to insure.

Mustang Fan Forever
Most fun car I have ever owned. Looks great,runs great, gotten tons of compliments on how good it looks.
Love my Mustang
I love this car. It's been fun, reliable, and cheap. Every once and a while I go looking at new (much more expensive) cars and I end up asking myself, "why?". Only problem I've had is a vibrating clutch pedal that's been there since it was new. Every time I take it in, the mechanic either wants to replace the whole clutch (which they did once, under warranty), or he says, "they all do that". It's annoying, but I live with it. Put a set of Blizzaks on the thing and it's even great in the snow!
AF Blue
Have had minor electrical problem with ignition (freak burn through of wire wouldn't let car start all the time). Made enough contact to start car most of time. It took 7 visits to the dealership to find and fix. We did stick with it.
My Sweetheart
Its the fourth year that I own this car, and this is an absolute beauty both inside the hood and out. With jet black exterior and black leather this is the best car to burn the hot Asphalt of the Texas roads. I haven't had any issues and well... I knew the deal with the gas guzzling when I got the car so won't complain. If any complaints, its the guranteed tendency she has to run her rear off the road when starting on a slick road... even with traction, you ought to be careful with this baby. Well, by and large this is a mare that I'll ride anyday.
Worth the risk?
I do love this car, and I often get compliments from strangers, and more often than that I get stares. But it developed a stalling problem the week I bought it. Then the clutch started rattling, then it got recalled for the parking break, then the stereo died. All that is now fixed, but it has left me a bit sour. For the money you're hard pressed to find a more powerful car, and it IS a blast to drive, although it's a bit choppy over bumpy corners. Some Mustang owners have had no problems at all - it may be worth the risk. Oh yeah and the seats absolutely suck.
Love this mustang
I love the look of the mustang (this is my 4th one), and I am not disappointed. It is hard to handle in the ice and rain, but has only been in the shop 2x for major repair since I have owned it. A computer modulator went out (causing the battery to drain and some electrical problems) and I am now replacing the rear end. Otherwise this has been reliable and would buy ford again. miles now are 109,000
much fun... with a bit of add ons
i haven't liked a single mustang since the early 70's until now. the body style and SOUND sold me! i've added new springs, exhaust, intake and a NOS kit (shh!) which gives me close to 400 h.p. there's nothing like leaving a a civic at a stop light in the wake of my V-8's rumble! i looooooooooooove my mustang and have had no problems mechanically or otherwise. also, i got rid of the cheesy spoiler and the car is now beautiful!
Delayed Reaction
First new car...thought it was amazingly fast and handled superbly. Then I got dusted by nearly every other new car on the road. A bigger motor would tear this cheaply made car apart if the wheels could ever get a grip on the pavement. My tires deflate on their own. My paint is fading. Everytime I bring the car in for maintenance, it comes out stained or sloppily re-assembled. Seatbelt rollers broken, controls for power driver seat popping out, no air flows to passenger side vents. Car shakes at 70 mps - ford won't fix bec. mechanics won't drive that fast to find problem.
exellent car
my only problem with this car is the speeding tickets. other than that I love this car.
Just simply amazing!
I'm 16 and I bought a 2000 Mustang GT as my first car. Having a 5 speed manual makes this car a blast to drive. The car handles beautifully in dry weather, have yet to drive it in anything wet. Since I am in high school, it's nice seeing heads turn everywhere I go. The full Flowmaster exhaust sure helps bring attention to my car. Only thing I have to say is it is a eye-catcher, especially for the COPS. So drive safe and be careful!
Will definitely buy another!!!!!!!!
I bought this car in 2002 and it had 49,000 miles on it now it has 74,000 and i've had absolutely NOTHING go out on this car.All i've had to buy for this car is gas and that is it.I will buy another one but with a V-8 this time.
Don't buy a FORD!
I bought my 2000 V6 Mustang new, since then I have had nothing but problems...A/C went out the second time I used it, the power driver seat had to be replaced 3 times, the engine valves rattle, the convertible top had to be replaced after 6 months because it was splitting at the seams, the CD player had to be replaced twice! I could go on and on but way waste my time. In closing, the car is for sale now and I will NEVER by a FORD product again!
Awesome
I have read everyone's reviews about this Mustang, and I must say, I have had no problems with my car ever! Not only that but the people that I bought it from also had no problems with this car. So I'm sorry for those of you who have had bad experiences, mostly it was the fact you had a bad dealer, but the car itself is amazing; fast, quick, and very comfortable (for two people, the back seat is kinda small).
Very fun, very reliable
This is the third Mustang I have owned, and all I can say is that all three have been vey reliable, and the 2000 model has been the best I've owned. I'm well past the 100,000 mile mark and all I have had to do for repairs is replace the low pressure cutoff switch for the a/c (all of $30).
Fun in the Sun!
I bought this vehicle used in 2003 from a private owner who stored it in the wintertime as I am now doing. It's a blast to drive especially with the top down. I'm definitely going to consider a future Mustang convertible possibly a GT for some more power.
C's Stang
Trust me everyone, if you have the chance I strongly suggest you get you hands on one.
My Experience
I bought this car with 16,000 miles on it for $9,000 dollars from a friend. It has been nothing but amazing since that day. I have added a cold air intake, tinted the windows and put on an amazing exhaust. I get about 30 miles per gallon in the highway and about 14 in the city (without any air conditioning). I had to change the CCRM which ran for about 140 dollars , but this seems to be a really rare problem, I was just unlucky. I would recommend different rims and tires, because traction in the rain is horrible; I have crashed 3 times. All of which kept my car in perfect condition, but ruined the other cars lol.
2000 Ford Mustang Review
Handles great. It is reliable, however gas is a big issue. Car gets on an average between 16-18 miles per gallon, mostly highway driving, with either 87 or 89 octane.
Fun, Fun, Fun
If you're looking for a fun, reliable, convertible, this is the car for you. Nice solid ride with plenty of power. Not ideal for long road trips, but well worth the lack of space. I would not purchase any other convertible.
Not bad at all
I think this drop top is a great bang for the buck. It has aggressive and beautiful styling and will give you the power you want. I love the shifter! But the cupholders are too close to it. Someone in the ford company messed up here! When you shift to 2nd or 4th you always hit it cup, leading the contents to conveiniently spill all over! But i find the interior to be comforting, it flows away from you, leaving the feeling you have more space. This car will make you crave what the 8 has in store. The leg room is no problem but don't place to be bringing anyone around in the back seat comfortably, but then again, this is not to be mistaken with a minivan!
Good car
I bought this car 1 1/2 years ago, after doing a lot of research. And so far I am very satisfied with it. It is a Consumer Reports "Good Bet" as it seems to a reliable vehicle. It is a sharp looking car, with lots of potential if you can afford to upgrade it. It is fun to drive in the snow with snow tires on.
fun performer
This is a fun car to drive around town. It gets decent gas mileage, and is reliable. I purchased this vehicle new, and it has never had a single mechanical problem.
Tamed Pony
Got this car used with 65K miles, since I couldn't afford an Accord or Solara Coupe. Overall the car has been pretty good to me. No major repairs, just maintenance. This car is NOISY. Ford really cut a lot of corners when it came to quality and craftsmanship. Wind noise intrudes at high speeds and it feels like a shopping cart on rough roads. The power-steering wines, but this seems to be common. The seats are a joke, they offer little to no support up front. This cars goes through brakes fairly quickly. My driver's side windows sticks in hot weather, paint has faded, and the engine rattles at high RPMS. Transmission seal leaks are common as well, but that's been the most of my problems.
imustang
this car is an excellent car. i wouldnt get rid of mine for the world. it is a fast car with a comfortable interior. I would refer any one.
Lots of Bang for the Buck
When I was 16 years old my father rebuilt a 73 Mach 1 Mustang that I fell in love with. I just couldn't wait to buy another Mustang with that classic American V8 muscle car sound and performance. This car does not disappoint performance wise however, comfort and convience could be better. The front seats feel like lounge chairs and aren't comfortable on long trips.
Nothing beats it !!!
For the price, nothing can compare. Most bang-for-the-buck. Excellent reliability. The v-6 has sufficient power, but we would all like a little more no matter what we're driving now. Gas milage is surprisingly good. Decent mobility even in the snow; mine has 4 snow tires mounted on steel rims. Overall great value for the money
Love that Mustang
My Ford Mustang is the most enjoyable car I have ever owned and it is practical too! Reliably built, a heavy muscle car, lots of pick-up and a real head turner. Fully loaded it was a great deal and continues to hold its value. I have babied the car, in the garage all the time, washed every 2 weeks and waxed quarterly...pristine.
fun and sporty
Originally went to buy a Cougar - couldn't make the deal. Went over to Ford and drove a used Mustang. Most of the miles have been highway and the Stang is nothing but fun to take on a trip. Mileage has been outstanding - upper 20's and occasionally getting into the 30's. Changing the stock 15" wheels out for the 17" Mach 1 wheels made it even sportier and better handling. Even though the car is now 6 years old I still get compliments on it's sporty looks. Car has been flawless and reliable. Admittedly it is a little tough to drive in snow so it has been the summer time trip car.
nice car
good performance per dollar. fun to drive and can be made faster for not a lot of money...
Never another Ford
First new car ... what a disappointment. Rotors warped coming off the lot, Ford wouldn't replace. Seat belt wouldn't retract after a few months - two trips to the dealer. Transmission seal failed after 1 year. Transmission, rear differential, and clutch all died after 1.5 years - 3 trips to the dealer (total of 3 weeks in the shop). Had to beg for a loaner car. Window now rubs the frame when shutting the door. Got rear- ended, dealer body shop put a bumper on that had a bend in it where one corner of the bumper sat an inch out from the rest of the body, told us "if you want quality parts, buy a Mercedes." Had to force him to fix it.
Not A Bad Ford
I bought this car last summer thinking the v6 would be enough power but it's not! If you have the money go get the 4.6 v8. It isn't all bad, the body style is tight so I would recommend this car because it's Not Bad For A Ford!
My Second Mustang
This is our second mustang, our first was an 88 GT, we got 140,000 out of that car. We bought another used one. We understand this is a sports car and a fun car. This car has no utilitie to it. Its for having fun. We put the 2 stage flowmasters on it. Sounds great and works better then are old one.
Best car so far!
So far, out of many vehicles, this is the best. This is not a car for the shy-it gets looks ever where it goes. It doesn't matter what age, or what car they may be driving-just two days ago it got looks from an F-body driver! It is a blast to drive, and comfortable to ride in. I haven't had one problem with it so far. The interior has a little to much plastic for me, but I like the set up. The exterior, in my opinion, is much more agressive than the previous body style. All in all, I love this car!
2000 Black Mustang
I bought my Mustang in July 2000, at first I liked it, but then as I began to drive it I realized alot of wind noise comes through the car. When it rains, pinging on the hood. A couple of months after having the car, there was a rear seal leak, it was leaking transmission fluid causing an awful smell while the A.C. was on, the delaership had the car for a week, stuck with awful rental car, which I had to throw a fit to actually get a rental car. My black paint has looked awful since a few months after buying, it does not have the sheen other cars I have had, not matter how much it is cleaned, waxed, etc. I am currently looking to trade my car in, and it will not be a FORD.
Good car
I bought this car new in 2000. It's held up well (but not great) and has been good transportation. The fact that it's stylish and performs well doesn't hurt, either. As a convertible, it's as solid as anything else on the road today (at least in the under-$30k market). The interior is great - it's comfortable and it has solid ergonomics. That being said, I dinged the interior a couple of points because of cheap materials and appearance. All in all, a great car for the money.
The Little Pony That Should
This car performs fairly well considering the price range. However there are a few gripes. The aerodynamics of this car make it slow to accelerate at highway speeds compared to oh say a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP? Kind of rediculous considering the Mustang has more engine. Overall it is a fun car that is capable of sprinting to speed in a timely manner.
Good car.
This car was great. I had no major problems with this vehicle. It does use a moderate to large amount of gas, but it was expected. The features were reliable and was well built.
Surprising Performance
I wasn't looking for a Mustang and have never been a big fan. I saw this 7 year old vehicle with less than 55k miles while looking at other convertibles. I gave it a try because of the low price and was really impressed. I actually liked the handling better than Mustang GT convertibles I'd driven. I was surprised by how powerful the V6 felt with the 5 speed manual. My particular car must have spent a lot of time in the garage based on the low mileage, tight feel, and nearly flawless interior and exterior. I thought I'd miss the quick open/close of the top that I had with a Miata, but this power top is fast and seems well made. On the road the blue color seems one of the least common.
2000 Mustang Coupe
A solid car. I have had zero problems. Runs strong for a V6, and I love the styling.
Completely Satisfied
I love my Mustang! It has 85,000 miles on it and no problems. Definitely the funnest car I've ever had. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Pay attention
The vehicle is fun to drive and sounds great. It catches peoples attention. Gas prices have hurt the pocket book, but performance is well worth it. Leather seats are sticky in summer, 5spd shifter is located to far forward and streaches arm muscles. When heater is on, engine sounds like air- conditioner turning on and off.
Just owned a week.
Such a fun car to drive. Not the fastest one out there but love the exhaust throaty sound when you romp on the gas.
2000 'stang
wish i had a v-8 but the 6 with a 5 spd is still pepey and fun.first ford i ever owned.would buy another but a gt
Mustangs are the best
They have good values and i want a nice one with a V8 GTS for under ten thousand dollars!!!
Great Car
I have had no problems with my car. It has been a joy to own, and great fun to drive.
There Greeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!
This car is great everything has been trouble free and we already have over 70,000 miles on it it still feels like new. Everything works correctly and we havent had any problems. I would recommend this dealer: Cella Ford of New Bern,NC(they gave us a great deal we never even had to go listen to a salesperson speil, test drive what you want at a different dealer then call them up and tell them what you want they gave us invoice and low apr with no down at all (4.9 apr) great car!!!!
I love this car...
I bought this car two years ago with only 8,500 miles. It was babied by the original owner. I have put another 7,000 miles on it during the non- winter months. Great to drive, ultra- sharp looking, have not had one problem yet. Best present I ever bought for myself.
Short and simple
Owned my mustang for four yrs.,it is stored winters and I couldn't be happier with it.
