Late-Life Crisis...
My 5th Mustang since '85, two of which were GT's and two were Cobras; now this one. Mine is the automatic, tan interior with Legend Lime body color. I remember April of 1964 and the unveiling of the new "pony car". $2,400 and it was yours. 41 years and an additional $28K brings me the freshened '05 iteration. Time and prices have changed but this new version of a well loved nameplate gives us "boomers" an opportunity to recapture a bit of our "free love and go fast" attitudes long lost in the fury of modern living. The Ford finally did it right; went back to basics and restored the visuals and added some topnotch engineering. The car is fun to drive and look at!
Fly-Away On The Highway
The Mustang GT has a powerful v8 and positive handling in turns. It feels great and gets a lot of head turning from spectators on the highways. It is still exciting to drive even after 5 months of ownership.

Best Car Yet
I think Ford did good when they built this car, it handles, it's comfortable and a joy to drive. I believe this style will stick around for a few years. Again Ford did good by this car, couldn't ask for a better built Mustang.
Vroom!
We purchased this vehicle and absolutely love it. It is the first new car we've ever owned and what a way to start. The power is unbelievable. It's 300 horse power is awesome. We would highly recommend the vehicle. The soft boot takes some time to get used to. But with a little practice you can master it in no time. It has a very soft clutch which makes driving easy even for the less experienced manual transmission driver.
Front end noises
I bought my '05 Mustang GT this past February and really love it! The performance and the muscle sound of the car takes me back to my '67 HP 289. It does, however, make some very annoying popping noises in the front steering mechanism that even my dealer recognized as a problem. It's taken Ford engineers over 2 months to come up with a fix and mine is still not corrected (now we're waiting on the parts). If the car was not such a fun vehicle, I would be very disappointed. I hate to admit this but this is precisely why I've not bought American built vehicles for a long time.
