My husband purchased this car for me for my 40th birthday. I love that little car. The rear wheel drive is awesome. I handle this car with ease, and am very very satisfied with it. The convertible is one awesome little sports car. I hope to have this little beauty for a long time

I own an 89 Saleen and I have to say that this pony has almost as much power and pickup. The suspension is impressive for a GT. I would however mention that they need to do something with the seatbelt. The clip always slides back through the guide and the guide is just a little too big. Overall if you are looking for some driving entertainment, try a "Screaming Yellow" convertible GT.

I've had it a little over a week, but have not yet had the top up. The most time spend on the road has been on twisty backroads at irresponsible rates of speed. Can't seem to find the desire to commute to work in it, if I wanted a car like that, I'd buy a Honda Elephant or somesuch BoreMobile.

For about $25000 this is a lot of car.The engine and transmission are a joy.I love the 5 speed manual and the convertable.Even in the snow the car has good road manners.My two kids fit in the back seat with no compaints;plus they love being in a Mustang.The trunk is functional,holds my gymbag,laundry ,groceries etcetra no problem.You can have fun and reasonably practical transportation for 25 grand .I like the idea of avoiding expensive german imports like BMW 3series or audi and being in real American muscle that can take them out,and at half the price.

i have always dreamt about getting a mustang since i was nine, and it has finally happened, a beautiful black mustang gt convertible, all mine, a dream come true. I have loved every minute inside this car, i cannot get enought of it, i will own this car till the day i die, i will never buy another car, and if i do, it would be another ford. There is no car on the road that is like the mustang, it is a car that women and men alike love and respect, and there is so many things you can do to it to make it your own, i love this car!!!! sure the interior isnt upscale, but its not meant to be, and it serves its purpose

As a single, affluient American male of the 'Babyboomer'generation, I choose to reward myself with an occasional gift. The gift that I gave myself was the Ford Mustang, with all of the bells and whistles available. Monday through friday, I will break out the 'S' Jag, the last word in motoring but on weekends, when fun is the goal, it is the Mustang that I choose. The car is a joy to drive.

Awesome peformance for the money. If fun and performance is your game,and you have a family (need a back seat) and can't afford an M3, this is the only car for you. Z06 like performance with a back seat and convertible that even average Joe enthusiast can afford.

I sold my 2001 Mustang GT convertible and took the big step up the "Fun & Excitement" food chain. The 2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible with the Mystichrome package is an amazing automobile! The 390 bhp engine begs you to bang through the six-speed tranny while the IRS hugs the road. Turn the traction control OFF and feel the entire impact of this high powered yet well mannered monster. While the interior's fit and finish need some work, the stares and pointing toward you and the vehicle makes a grown man giggle with glee. Even while parked the color changing paint and seat leather gather looks, gawks, pointing and staring. This IS the best of Ford SVT to date.

I bought a brand new 04 V6 5 speed Mustang as an alternative to a used car because the price was right. It is a very sharp car. Discounts and a new body style on the horizon made this a favorable deal. Wife thinks it's fun to drive too - so much so that she offered me her Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. in exchange. The novelty of the manula transmission only lasted a week or two and she wanted the Jeep back. for the money - the Mustang is a car you can be proud of as opposed to just another econobox. I think it will resale easier too.

Its the pony with the 40th Anniv. package. 6cyl moves like an 8cyl nice car,nice color,nice ride. Its a sports car. The only Ford I would ever buy and Chevy had only the corvette. The Sebrings I test drove you could feel the engine struggle it was sad. Don't need the power or special needs of an 8cyl. That happens to be the only kinds of cars I would up with. Now I use Reg unleaded and I cruise.

think a stock svt rocks? for a mer 3500 extra i hit 502 rwhp, thats around 600 at the crank! rpmoutlet.com has the kit plus you need the borla cat back exhaust and bassani x-pipe w/high flow cats, lil loud tho. get rid of that stock long throw shifter for the pro 50 short throw, big diff! if your worried about warentee issues, can easly be put back to stock even without having a p1000 code in the computer!

Even though the platform is old Ford kept the "car" current. Mustang is and always will be more than a car. It is an icon to a lifestyle that Americans, both young and old, still want to hold on to. Long live the "pony car".

I love this car. I just got it about 2 weeks ago, found one still new on the dealer showroom floor. It's so fun to drive and gets pretty good gas mileage. I am told the gas mileage will get better once the car is broken in. It handles the corners nicely, and has a good feel to the acceleration. If you want that nice breeze you just drop the top and go. It's the best mustang I have driven so far.

I have had problems since the day I got this car. All electrical, right now the car in is the shop b/c all the lights came on on the dash for no reason and my fuel gage went to from a full tank to empty and gas gage came on with all the others. To begin with the radio some how made the car not crank. The ford place were rude to me, have been since I bought the car and I will never buy a ford again in my life. Oh and I wasnt given a spare key with my car which was a demo, thus roadside assistance scratched my newly tinted windows They are beautiful cars but horribly made,they drink gas, buy something else besides a ford!

We purchased the car for the low price, standard features and fuel economy. On the plus side, fuel economy is good and is near the rated numbers. The engine is anything but smooth, and does not like to be revved above 2,500 RPM without a lot of coaxing. Clutch throw is nearly a foot, transmission is clunky; it is NOT fun to shift especially around town. The computer keeps the engine between 2,000-3,000 between shifts which sounds and feels totally awkward. The car developed several creeks and clunks right away. Not impressed at all; I wished we would have bought another Honda instead!

I currently own a Mustang Convertible. It rides great and is a must have sporty look for a valued price.. The only complaints is the cheap quality of the interior trim. While the back seat and trunk is small, it is bigger than most convertibles and is apropriate for the "sporty" look.

The mustange appeals to people of all ages. There is nothing like feeling the wind in your face as your traveling along .....with the top down I love the way the mustang handles and the turn ratio is great.Everything is at my finger tips and I love the trunk button.With the rise in gas prices I'm happy it's better on fuel than my suv......I drive in Florida during the winter months so I have no idea how it is in snow. The weakness is the small back seat ......but it's perfect for shopping bags...... hubby bought it for my 55th birthday.....In that car nobody would ever guess my age <wink>

When I bought this car I was in love with it and any other mustang fan would agree its absoutley beautiful yellow mach 1 but after the so called "new" wore off it started to rattle and every since about 10000 miles its gotten worse and worse by the day! as far as performance and reliability its a GREAT car!!! so if you are a true mustang fan like my self you won't mind it that much just turn up the radio or punch the gas and drown it out b/c even know it rattles its still a HOT A8SS car!!!!!!!!

The Mach1 has the performance of the days when cars were measured by horsepower and handling. Qwning a 73 Mustang I truly believed that Ford would never build a truly affordable muscle car again, but the 2004 Mustang Mach1 has restored my believe in Ford.
