Strength:
Balls to the Walls fun. True performance vehicle.
Weakness:
Cup Holder. Too many recalls. Poor Quality Assurance. I leased/purchased the vehicle fully loaded coupe 3/99. I have had 5 separate recalls completed on the vehicle. At 41k miles the engine blew. Other than Ford dealer mechanics, I have been the only one to drive the car. I have never redlined the vehicle I have a 3 yr 36k warrantee. This is my first American vehicle I have ever owned. Currently Ford is stating that I must repair the vehicle at my own expense. I did not purchase the extended warrantee. Buyer beware!!!!!!!! I am currently shopping for a classic corvette (Much better value). Similar Products Used: 99 Corvette. |

VERY SMALL TRUNK I LOVE THIS CAR. It is my baby. I have made alot of cosmetic modifications to this vehicle. it is royal blue with a custom white stripe patern on the hood, and sides. 98 stang alloy rims. I put blue neon lights under the dash and all around the undercarriage. I recently installed AVS blackouts and a custom 2 piece bra. I installed aftermarket foglights and Flowmaster CAT-back Dual exhaust. Tinted windows and kenwood cd deck. 2 ACI 12" subs and DEI 600D amp. This sucker SCREAMS for attention & I assure you it gets more than enough. My next car will be a SALEEN!!!!!!!!! Similar Products Used: 92 grand am - (my very first car, it cant touch this STANG) |

Weakness:
Everything on the car is a sign of weaknesses. I feel shame when I am driving it. My dad bought it for me as a gift and he had one when he was in college but that was the biggest mistake he have done. this car is worthless. It is better to not have a car at all than to have this kind of car. Please don't buy a Mustang make world clean :) Similar Products Used: this product compare with "S." |

Strength:
Easy to shift gears, Nice style and more distinctive than a regular Mustang. Comfortable and has a nice engine sound.
Weakness:
small trunk space Beautiful car to drive to the beach on a hot summer day. I love the looks that I get when I drive. The Cobra is a fun car to drive and has a great sounding engine. If you want a fast sleek car, the Mustang Cobra is the car for you! Similar Products Used: Ford Mustang GT |

Strength:
FUN CENTRAL!!! Mine was midnight blue.....great color. Took off the catalytic converters and substited with a hollow H-pipe, replaced the stock mufflers with flowmasters, and replaced the underdrive pulleys with higher performance ones. All of this cost less than $500! And oh what a sweet sounding exhaust you get! Sweet as in MEAN! This car rocks! I love the look of the '93LX compared to all the bolt-ons on the GT body.
Weakness:
Gas mileage really sucks. First of all, whatever you do......DON'T EVEN THINK of buying a used or new Mustang UNLESS IT'S A V-8! The 4's are a joke and so are the 6's compared to the V-8. It's like going to a strip joint and wearing a blindfold...haha. If you don't want a V-8, get another car.....buying a Mustang in a 4 or 6 is a waste of money. The 92-93 LX 5.0's are great with great power. If you can find one used and not too abused, go for it. But be prepared......gas will cost you. Similar Products Used: 93 Eclipse GSX turbo-nice car and quick but I'll take the V-8 mustang over it any day. |

This car is very fast and very dependable. It really gets me a lot of attention. You should see how embaressed the boys in those Camaros are when I leave them in the dust! The car is also easy to work on and find parts for.
Weakness:
Lousy gas mileage(12 MPG..ouch) Just had engine rebuilt and it still leaks oil. Also, watch those corners. I've found myself on the side of road in the middle of summer after taking a corner too fast. Passengers moan the back seat is too small but I don't really care because I don't sit there! I love my Mustang and I would keep it forever. It is dependable and when stuff does break, parts are cheap. I bought it as a bank repo and I don't know what happened to it before I got it but I know it was abused but it just keeps on chugging. Similar Products Used: My first car. |

Strength:
performance, looks, fuel mileage is ok, cheap, easy to upgrade and is a lot of fun to drive! This car has been lowered and that it now looks like a more serious competitor!
Weakness:
no room in the back seat, cops pay too much attention to it. poor stereo factory stereo. I think that Ford needs to improve on the quality of there interiors. A plastic interior is ok but do a better job in insuring that it has some quality. I have done some work on this car and i think that it increases it's value to me ten fold. I lowered the suspension, installed cat-back exhaust, put a performance chip in, tinted the windows, and installed a high flow K&N fliter. Performance increased substantially (with is much needed on a 94 since the stock engine performance was quite poor for a car that looks this good). The car is orange and gets a lot of attention. The exhaust sounds really throaty and aggressive!! The car has 17 wheels and they look great! The stereo sucked hard core when I bought it so I threw a Pioneer Type R 12 1000W sub in the trunk (hooked up to a Sanyo 200W bridged amp) as well as two 6 1/4" three way speakers in the back. In the front I added two Motorola tweeters that add great definition to music! So now the sound in my car is.... lets just say acceptable. The way that this car handles is just awesome. There is hardly any body roll and that i really like. So far for the only real problem i have had with this car is having the coolant temp light go on infrequently. It also seems to use a little oil.. I don't like that much!! Overall this car as i have changed it is a dream to drive. Similar Products Used: camero's prove to be a challenge for this car |

COPS, COPS, COPS, I HAD THE CAR A VERY SHORT TIME NOW, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T GET TO DRIVE IT MUCH WHEN I DO GET TO DRIVE IT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT. I FIRST INTENDED TO GET THE COBRA BUT MY INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSE TO INSURE ME, WHY I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CHANCES THAT IT WOULD GET STOLEN,QUICKLY!!! IF YOU PLAN ON BUYING THIS CAR CHECK OUT YOUR INSURANCE RATES BEFORE YOU SIGN ANY PAPER WORK. I WAS TRADING IN MY 99 V-6 MUSTANG, AND JUST BEFORE SIGNING THE PAPER WORK FOR THIS 2001 MY SALES PERSON SAID DID YOU CHECK OUT WHAT YOUR INSURANCE RATE WOULD BE FOR THIS GT , I SAID NO. HE SUGGUSTED I DO BEFORE GOING ANY FUTHER, HE SAID MY RATE WOULD DOUBLE. UNTRUE AS A MATTER OF FACT MY INSURANCE RATE ONLY WENT UP $5.00 A MONTH. BUT THEN AGAIN I NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT IN OVER 15 YEARS. KNOCK ON WOOD. IF I WAS YOU CHECK OUT YOUR RATES BEFORE BUY THIS CAR BECAUSE YOU MAY JUST HAVE 2 CAR PAYMENTS A MONTH. ALSO ABOUT THIEFS, UNLESS YOU LIVE IN MAYBERRY CONSIDER THIS TO. TO HELP YOU OUT ALITTLE MORE, EXPECT LARGE CAR PAYMENT . DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU PUT DOWN YOU COULD PAY AS MUCH AS $600. A MONTH. THEN THERE IS THE INSURANCE RATE WHICH COULD BE AS MUCH AS ,WHO KNOWS. MYSELF I PAY 1,200 A YEAR. THEN THERE IS THE BIG EXTENTED WARRANTY THEY HIT YOU WITH AT THE LAST MINITE. WHICH COULD BE ANOTHER $50.00 A MONTH. IF YOU PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING TO THE ENGINE, DON'T GET THE WARRANTY. Similar Products Used: 99 MUSTANG, 2001 SS CAMARO |

Weakness:
small back seats, lack of interior lights, guys like to race a chick in a mustang. I love this car, but I need something with a little more engine power. So I just traded it in for a 2001 GT :-) I never had any problems with the car. The roof only leaked once when I went through the drive through car wash at a mobil station.
