Kick Ass
This is the best Mustang I have driven dual overhead cams and 0-60 in 4.3
Nice Performance for the Price
This car is a blast from the past. Certainly not a German car inside. However, when the Audi S4 or BMW M3 pull up next to you at a light, fear nothing! Nice 60's muscle car sound.
True American legend
What a fun car. Who needs a $50,000 Vette or a Cobra. For the money and the power, you can't go wrong.
Fun to drive
Always wanted a mustang finally bought one, and love this car. Fun to drive and handles well. Paint job is beautiful and and the extras are great.
My GT
If you're looking for a cheap, reliable, fun-to-drive performance car that's not too hard on gas, then this is your car. This car looks good from the inside and out and the exhaust note I hear everytime I start it is like therapy. Everything is set up perfectly for the young enthusiast.
Mach 1 Mustang
This is a great car. Fun to drive and show. Great handling and appearance. I have had newer Mustangs before but this one is like driving on a cloud. I am in a wheelchair and the accessibility of the car is great. I can easily transfer and place the wheelchair behind the seat. Easily adaptable to hand controls. Would recommed this car to anyone. Love It!
My 1st Mustang ever
I got the 40th edition model '04 Mustang & so far I'm very happy with my purchase. Plus I got a great deal on it. Prior to my Mustang, I've always been extremely satisfied with every Kapanese automobile I've owned (3) and seemed to lean towards Japanese automakers, but this time I wanted to make a leap of faith back to the domestics. I really like the recent Mustang body styles, especially the new 2005. The ride is very smooth and the cabin is quiet cruising both city & highway. It's fun to drive and it has excellent acceleration for a V6, but then the fuel mileage I'm getting is lower than I originally expected. I get about 240 city & 300 highway to the tank.
I love it!
I have always been a huge Mustang junkie. I vowed to one day own one when my daughters were big enough to actually enjoy the ride. And finally the day came. I got one. And I couldn't say enough great things about it. I love this car. I love the body style. The factory stereo is awesome. I have done a few minor adjustments to the appearance (cosmetic things like adding decals and window scoops) and also modified the exhaust. And even though its a v6 it looks and sounds like a v8. I get compliments all the time on how incredible the car looks. It is absolutely beautiful!
40th Anniversary Special
Good on the road, parking, and looks. Would buy another one.
Bruce's Mustang
One hot car. 5th gear is only used after 60. It is amazing that at 80, it is turning just 2000 rpm. No joke. I took a trip at 60 to 70 mph and got 22.8 mpg. Most times I get right around 19 to 20 mpg. It is very difficult to find information about this car. How many were manufactured? HP/WEIGHT ratio. How much are the commemorative medallions valued at. I have six of them. I have special wheels bought from a noted tire dealer. I have been offered $250 or more for the original alloy rims. Why are they worth anything at all? 3 people have offered me at least that much money.
Mach 1 is good
I love this car. It has great performance and it rides well. I have had no problems with it so far. It is my first sports car.
hot red
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.
2004 Mustang
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!
Really Neat Time Machine
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!
Bring it On.
To start with Cobra is not a Mustang. My neighbor's 2002 Corvette learned that lesson on the open highway. I wish I would have had this car in my early 20's and single..come to think of it, I probably don't. A thrill everytime you turn the key, add my roll bar and Saleen cover and this one turns every head I pass. Good ride considering the type of car, great and fun to drive, Too much low end torque...it just bounces when you get on it. Have had a minor problem with gas guage not moving much until a half a tank, then disappearing in 50 miles. Dollar for dollar, I do not think anything touches it.
Go Topless
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
Dixie's 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!
Just plain happy
Have been the only owner of this car and it has given me the most pleasure of any vehicle I've owned. It's fun when the sheer power puts you back in your seat. Only take her out on weekends since my other car's a hybrid.
Best Car
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.
40th Pony Aniv. 2004
Have had car as only owner almost 15 years....looks & rides great...dependable & easy on fuel. Only had to replace 2 batteries, tires, and a fuel pump in 2015. Got the car thru family discount plan @ 13.9 inc tax etc with no sales people involved.

An amazing SVT Team!
I loved driving this car! I purchased new and just sold due to unemployment. I previously owned an 02 Lightning. I am sold on everything that the Coletti SVT group put their stamp on. This came to an end with the release of the 2005 GT. I find it sad that folks are still buying live axle mustangs/shelby's when they had the Independent Rear Suspension for the SVT Cobra's! This 2004 Cobra Convertible was the best most advanced and most powerful Mustang "Production" car to come out of Dearborn, which shut down after the 2004 model year. SVT was special! Now, it's a badge.
Be Aware Mustang ?
Be sure this is what you want and look over the car very well before you take it home. Example, I purchased a Silver GT from Ron Bornick Ford In Md. and the paint was messed up from the factory on the L - 1/4 panel. Neither the dealer or Ford want to fix the problem. Problem still exists.
DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!
I've had NOTHING but problems out of my 04 Cobra. It is the worst car that I've ever owned. The transmission was replaced before 400 miles. It has more squeaks and rattles than a baby's play pen. The motor has a tapp that Ford says is normal. It isn't! I haven't been able to get better than 19 mpg out of it yet regardless of driving style. Ford claims it should get 24. The dealerhip is unwilling and unable to fix the problems. I would get the car "lemon lawed" except most of the problems aren't considered "major" and wouldn't apply. I have regretted buying this car since I first turned the key which sticks! I'm get rid of it as I can! You've been warned!
Mustangs Rock!
The Ford Mustang is one of the last icons of American Muscle Cars! The Mustang is one of the last vehicles along with the Corvette that are true Americana. What makes the Mustang (unlike the Corvette)alluring is the fact that it is still affordable to the middle to upper-middle class driver muscle car enthusiast. Whether you have the Mach 1, GT, Coupe 3.8 or a special edition Roush Mustang, they are all fun. With todays interest in import tuners it's nice to know that the Mustang is still there barelling along tearing up the road just as in the years gone by. Come 2005 sign me up for the all new Retro-Stang!
Love my Mustang GT
I love this car! After lusting over the Mustang GT models for years, I finally was able to purchase a 2003 GT Premium model. This body style is my all time favorite. The design gives the feeling of a solid "muscle car". The Mustang GT is an all out, no holds barred BLAST to drive! The handling is superb and everything in the interior is within easy reach and uncomplicated. The 5 speed manual transmission has a very short throw that slips easily into gears. The handling is quick and nimble for a car that looks and feels so solid. I am also happy with the safety rating on this car. In closing, I can't think of much I don't like about this car.
best car
This car is the best car i have ever driven.
Less plastic, more class...please !
What a mistake !, uncomfortable seat position, cheap materials & slot car boyish styling. Go back to the 5.0 cause the 4.6 is a dog, Ford tries to fool you with the gaudy muffled sound.
Cheap price = Cheap car
Its definately not a sports car, it reminds me of my parents Ford Tempo, if you want a bigger old technology motor, but a good price - this car ios for you. The Mustang is not refined, not very good in the corners comparatively speaking, underwelming looks and cheap material for the interiors. I will not keep this one very long. You do get a cheap car for a cheap price.
Awesome Car
My car is a tropic green metallic mustang Gt. It is one awesome car. The car is fast when you want it to be, but it also gets good fuel economy on the highway when you are just crusing in fifth gear (overdrive).
the pimp
wonderful looks, and great engine but, horrible shifting(too hard on the clutch) and doesn't shift smooth. Ford should reconsider putting in an import cars transmission.
Disapointed buyer
I purched 2003 Mustang due to promises of a very reliable vehicle and an incentive to lower cost. I have had to endure delivery waiting period of three days wait, the dealer drove vehicle putting miles on new vehicle over 150 exactly before I recieved delivery. Have had to replace light fixtures, the windows leak stains on the inside of passengers seat. Sold extra coverage that does not cover anything at high cost. Freedom ford is not the place to purchase any vehicle I have learned and I will never purchase another ford product ever again.....
2004 ford Mustang V8 GT
I had love mustang,since I was sixteen,that when I saw my first mustang. I do injoy driving my 2004 V8,GT mustang, but I am dispointed in interior, it's cheap. I was also over price for this car. I paid for my 2004 ford mustang 32,000. I found aniversary package, was nothing to brag about. I still looking for the deluxe in 2004 anniversary package.
Horribly cheap interior
Dash, seats and shifter is cheap.
Dream Car
This is the car I have been saving my pennies for, this one compares to my 1973 Convertible for power and comfort Love it
dont waste your time
This has got to be the worst car I have ever owned I wouldnt recommend one person to purchase one of these cars the only vehicle that ford makes well is the F-150 series trucks!
