Good reliable, efficient, sporty car.
Source: MSN Autos

...Overall: I keep looking at new cars, trying to find one I will like for more than five years and will be efficient. I can find nothing which gets the milage I do now that I will like as much in five more years than this car. A newer Mustang (V6) is much more powerful (as powerful as GTs were in the mid-90s) -- but the milage takes a hit. This car has been pretty much trouble free. I replaced the radiator at about 9 years ol age, and this year (at 12) I had to get about $800 of work done to the engine, but total amount in repairs over 12 years has been about $2000, and that is including a new...

...i would fix it but don't need to its my weekend/going out car now due to gas prices and lots of driving from school/wrok and home. Overall: a great car! its always been good to me, i never really thought Ford would hold that long. car now puts out 510hp w/ 93 octaine on 9psi but every time i get a few extra buck i run to the race track fuel up on some high octaine fuel and run car on 18psi which pushes it to 640hp and 670 ft/lbs. its great for someone who would drive the car like it ment to be driven. i now drive a 99 escort 4dr for a daily driver, havn't driven the mustang out for a while...

Great little car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Treat them right and they will last forever. Mine has been through New England winters for the 12 years I owned it and it never let me down.
Fuel economy... I used to get up to 36 miles ot the gallon as long as I kept it tuned up properly.
There are a few things to watch out for... see cons Cons: The locks on this model have a tendency to freeze, and rust is a BIG problem on these models in the hatch area.
Overall: Overall it is a good little car. Keep the rust away and take care of the engine with regular maintenance and you will get years of enjoyment otu of it...

Impressed with this Machine!
Source: Cars.com

..."Going to a Mustang from a Lincoln, I can't say that it rides as smooth or is as roomy, but as with any new vehicle you adjust accordingly.
Though you can't really compare the two fairly, I would rather drive this beast any day!
The ride is much more sporty as you can feel the road while hugging turns or hitting bumps as opposed to a Lincoln which better shields you from the outside world.
A surprising upside to the Mustang's benefit is: even as a base model, it has all the luxury features of my Lincoln (and more
!) with the exception of power seats which I never adjusted...

..."Waited 3 years to by my GT. Glad I got the 2012 with 412 hp. Love it to death so far, the gas mileage is a pleasant surprize. I found the dealer thru cars.com..thanks"...

...12 years of great driving, completely new paint, brand new white top,
as well as head lights, new stereo with cd player, still drives beautifully, transmission has been rebuild this year, all maintenance records have been kept, regular oil changes...

12 stars for reliability
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: great vehicle for the price. there are faster cars out there but it has plenty of go for me and it looks CLEAN.
i just hit 50k miles last month and have never had to take it to the shop, still runs like new (a tad better after a couple modifications...).
i put 20k miles on it the first year i had it (in l.a.
rush hour traffic). Cons: a bit under powered in its class, especially with some v-6's putting out well over 200hp.
the interior could be done a little better. Overall: this car has been great, very reliable and fun to drive.
some aspects of the interior...

This Horse Still Rocks
Source: MSN Autos

...Mach 460 Sound System is incredible for interior sound, added with 2 12 inch subwoofers, I have a showstopper anywhere I go. Front seats are comfortable and hold you in your place when testing the limits. Heater system is by far the best I've ever owned...should have a cremate option, really heats you up in the winter on cold days. Ford power windows still out perform chevy windows, move up and down very quickly and smoothly Cons: Tight engine bay makes work hard when modifying, and little rear seat room caused me to get a rear seat delete kit, since nobody ever wants to sit in the back of my...

...Pros: love my cobra never will be with out one! only have 12,000 miles on mine. never touched rain, snow, hail, nothing Cons: can always use more power Overall: Wonderful car great following...
