You can drive the 1999-2004 Mustang V6 convertible year-round in most parts of the country. Mine has been my daily driver since 2007, driven in Ohio and Tennessee. The heater works great in the winter - no different than in any other car. And as soon as the temps start to climb in the spring, down goes the top! It is low to the ground, so getting in and out of the driver's seat definitely isn't for people with stiff backs. Maintenance is pretty easy - the engine compartment is big enough to reach all of the spark plugs. In over 100,000 miles I've only replaced the clutch once (3.9 liter engine with T5 tranny), and the top once (roughly $1000).

My First Ford

Probably the poorest engineered and poorest quality vehicle I've ever owned, it's my 10th vehicle. I've had nothing but problems since I bought the car, I actually got it in July 2002. I'm glad the dealer decided to sneak a premium extended warranty in on the contract, I have a feeling a lot more will go wrong after the initial 36,000 miles.

Poor Gas Milage

Engine continually surges, although window sticker rated this vehicle at 23 MPG, Ihave never been able to get over 14MPG. This is after 4 trips back to the dealership. In addition, acceleration is far below what it should be for an engine that is rated at 200 HP.

Q'S REVIEW

I am extremely happy with my 2003 Mustang. The one thing that shocked me though, was the fact that after owning it for less than a month, the oxygen sensors went out. That was something that I wouldn't have expected. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with the car, and I really enjoy driving it.

This vehicle is under powered for the true Mustang enthusiast. Ford needs more options for its engine power and power train (gear ratio). It would help to have a 430-475hp option. Make a true muscle car, not something everybody buy to look stylish to go to the grocery store.

Overall, an excellent car. I am very happy with my Mustang. I love the MACH 460 Audio System! I have put in 2 40 series Flowmasters, and believe me, it would scare anyone that you come across with at the stop light!

This car handles beautifully!!! You can feel how solidly it is built. It is very comfortable and very beautiful. I have gotten so many compliments on this car...I love the CD player and all the extras that came with it. The paint job is absolutely gorgeous...it looks like an expensive sapphire going down the road. I think it is by far the prettiest car on the road!

A True Modern Muscle Car

I have owned mine for 6 months and am generally happy with it. This car is a worthy bearer of the Mach 1 moniker and accurately recaptures the raw performance of the late 60s musclecar era. The DOHC engine is a little peaky in its power curve compared with the traditional pushrod V8s so it really lauches when you hit 3000rpm and makes some sweet music. The gearing is a bit low for everyday driving. A two-speed rear end or 6 spd would be nice to have
