Fun and useful in a pinch.

2008 Ford Mustang V6 Premium 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 5M)

I bought my Mustang new with a manual transmission and the V6, the idea was for fun but not a gas guzzler and it paid off. Of all the coupes that were available that year this one was the best all-around that I found. I can put two golf bags in the back or enough luggage for a road trip. It's really built for two but my son is fine in a front-facing car seat in the back. I'm not racing it but like to punch the gas on occasion and it's had plenty of get up and go. With over 100k miles on it when I sold it, I still feel like I could jump in and drive across the country and not worry about breaking down. The only major mechanical issue I have had was the diaphragm spring on the clutch pressure plate broke which was a manufacturing defect. I also felt like the transmission synchronizers from 3rd to 4th were never quite right because the gears would sometimes grind when accelerating hard but only on that shift. The My-color dash was cool but did have a glitch with the coloring ever once in a while. It was also disappointing that while the dash backlighting changed the display for mileage was green LCD as well as the HVAC, Radio, and Window buttons.

Second GT; '06 and now '08

At speed the chassis, Z-rated rubber, steering and torque combine to hug the pavement with a sense of complete assurance. Drop down a gear (I naturally bought the manual) step on the gas and listen and feel the swift motion as a smile appears. Great rear visibility serves well. No tickets thus far. At 75MPH I get 28 MPG 87 octane. Like I said this is my second of the latest iteration. Very happy.

The Bullitt Package on the 2008 Mustang makes the car a road racing machine right from the factory. The upgrades transform the car into a fun to drive and great looking machine.

I purchased one or the special edition Bullitt Mustangs. What a fantastic car. Lack of emblems, no spoiler, black wheels, but the big pipes coming out of the back tells it all. Wanted a green metallic car and this is the only Mustang made in that color. Price is extremeley low for what you get and mileage much higher then expected (not great but higher then exected for this type of car). Anyone looking for a low price sports cars, check this one out. Hurry they are limited editions.

2008 Mustang Bullitt - Loads of Fun

I purchased my Dark Highland Green 2008 Mustang Bullitt in Feb '08 at the urging of my 18 year old son. I already have 3,000 miles on it. It has a lot of power, a great muffler sound, excellent handling, and it is getting 22-23 MPG using regular gas in mixed freeway (rush hour) / city driving, even while "testing" the power a few times each trip. I have had a lot of fun cars over the years (69 Charger RT, MINI Cooper S, etc.), and this is the most fun car I have owned, by far.
