Piece
I have had so many problems out of my car. I have had my air intake replaced, my window motor replaced my throttle body replaced, my rpm's will go up by themselves while my foot is on the brake they have replaced the part once and now are saying that the problem is my driving not the car. My car has been in the shop more than i have had it on the road, and it is sad that Ford can't be competent enough to fix it.Consumer reports said that the 01 and 02 mustangs were the worst ones made and the ones with the worst problems. Well if anyone has had these problems email me and let me know it would be helpful.
Criminally Underrated!
All of the things that have gone wrong on this car have been because of poor/no maintenance by the previous owner. Had a transmission leak fixed (20 years of neglected service), replaced the radiator (neglected service), and replaced the brake light switch (last owner tried fixing with scotch tape). Ever since fixing those, this car has run great! The 4.6L V8 sounds amazing with the aftermarket cat-back exhaust and it drives very smooth. Great entry level V8 muscle car for younger buyers with lower budgets.

Great Car
This car is great meets all requirements. The only issue is that FORD stopped creating the Fuel Tank Sensor. That part has become obsolete and breaks easily after installing a new gas pump (above the gas tank). To replace this part I had to use from the PONY Mustang and don't know if this is an issue. I have noticed that the "Service Engine Soon" light came on about 2 months after replacing the part. Have not had a chance to check and I hope this is NOT the cause. Because if it is: THEN WHAT? Does this mean The GT Mustang is junk? It only has 72k miles and is in mint condition...

Fun Pony!
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!
Don't buy new!
This was my first Ford product. I was lured in by the 0% financing and its great looks. I always drive V-8's and demand rear-wheel drive. The Mustang had everything I was looking for. I did have some fit and finish issues and I wish the interior didn't have so much plastic! I sold it after 2 years due to a job relocation. I was barely able to pay off my lien! The depreciation was unbelievable. I paid $25K new and sold it for $17K two years later! Oh yeah.....dealing with Ford Motor Credit is a nightmare! Buyer beware!
