/GT coupe
Strength:
Cheap to get and work on, lots of aftermarket mods and will last forever. Super fast stock. FUN FUN teenager car
Weakness:
Handling can be rough, but small improvments such as bushings, sway bar, shocks, and springs can be added for a new car feel I got this car from my dad and have enjoyed working on it whenever possible. It is pretty cheap to get minor parts, but can get expensive for some stuff, such as paint, body work, engine, trans, etc. The favorite thing I get out of my mustang is the looks I get from people. Sometimes people will stop at A gas satation and make a good comment about it. It is faster than most of the cars ive rode in, except for the 95 GT. The 95 had A 5.0 and was a 5 spd. So it would beat mine of the line, but there is not much that can hang with it past 60 or so... Similar Products Used: Driven and rode in 92 mustangGT, 95 Mustang GT, 99 MustangGT, 01 MustangGT, 90 Honda civic(weak), 96 Dodge Ram, few others. |

V6
Strength:
Looks sharp! An American Classic! Fun to Drive! Comfy front seats, decent for long trips. Ok sound system.
Weakness:
First cup holder sucks, especially with a manual trans. No good in snow, and slides in rain. You can feel every bump on the road, and the back slides on larger bumps. Eats gas like crazy, especially when you drive 40+ miles one way to work. Like my Red Ponny! The dealer was awesome, and I also came out of there with a spoiler included in the price. But this car will defintelly not be worth much when you're ready to sell. The value plumets after the first two years. I put 47,000 miles (all mine) in the first two years, and I haven't had any problems with it yet. It looks solid, but doesn't feel as good as it looks. Don't get me wrong, it handles great. I started hearing something in the trans, but nothing serious yet. The trunk is definitelly not designed for a family trip to the supermarket :o) But it will do just fine if you are just carrying your toys around. If you want a classic cheaply, this is the car, but don't expect too much for this price. It sounds powerfull, but isn't really. When the A/C is on, I sometimes feel like getting out of the car and pushing it :o) Should have probably gotten a V8, which has a lot more power. Similar Products Used: Always wanted a 'stang. |

My Transmission!! : ( I think that besides being quite a looker, it does drive pretty well. Winter is soon approaching, however, and since it will be my first with the car, I must say I am dreading it. I already know it sucks in the rain. But I will manage. I love the attention and the stares I get from other teens driving their crappy cars, especially from the guys : ) I think it's an awesome summer car, especially with the top down! (it's a black exterior, with tan leather seats and a tan hood) Similar Products Used: A 1989 Ford Escort, which was litteraly in pieces when we got rid of it... I do enjoy the Mustang A LOT more : ) |

Strength:
looks good, fun w/top down.
Weakness:
stereo sucks, top leaks in heavy rain, and most car washes, in winter heater about burns my legs (if I turn temp down, won't stay warm enough) put too much $$ into it, lots of repairs. Fun car, but I don't plan on getting another ford. Only reason I keep it is because it's paid for. Just hit 60,000 miles a week ago. Driver side window came off track and needed replaced, had new brakes put in (rear-fall '00 & front-spring '01). Makes awful grinding noise when I back up and brake, and still squeaks when I brake, (in fact now more than ever), even squeaks when coasting slowly. Trunk is falling apart inside, the pegs busted and the top is falling down. (like it isn't small enough already) Radiator took a dump on me yesterday and won't know what caused it for a couple more days, said maybe blew a gasket or thermostat went out (but can't be thermo--had that replaced too!) I'm just so tired of this car. For a '95 w/only 60k miles, sure is a piece of crap. Similar Products Used: None |

convertible V6
Strength:
top-down driving is fun!
Weakness:
3.8L engine is woefully underpowered and gets terrible mileage This is a Mustang? Rented a convertible for a couple of weeks at the beach and was really disappointed. I owned a '65 convertible back in the eighties and that car had more power and at least equal handling characteristics. The V6 is a wheezy, thirsty thing and the automatic makes it much worse by shifting unpredictably. The steering and suspension really made me recall my '65 Mustang, which is to say that the steering felt vague and dead and the car leaned into every corner and bottomed out on every pothole. And with only 12k miles on it, the car squeaked and rattled from front to back. It was ok for a slow cruise down the beach but required lots of attention and correction at highway speeds. Similar Products Used: BMW Z3... um, no comparison |

Small trunk I love my stang.I can honestly say, I love it like the first day I bought it. I've owned it for 9 years and it's never left me stranded. Similar Products Used: I've never had any other sports car. Although,my boyfriend has a 2001 vette so,it's a little hard to compare. But, I still love the way my car sounds which he admits to. MUSTANGS SOUND THE BEST! |

Strength:
Good trunk space. I can fit more than 9 dead fat bodies in it.
Weakness:
Its too slow. I hate when I get caught and the police are chasing me and they catch up so easily. I also hate that their is no grill in there to barbq the dead bodies on. They cup holders are too small. I like to keep severed fingers in my glove compartment box. I just wanted u guys to know that. I hope my review helps u guys out. okay. so I'll be going now and peace. Ohh yeah when I turn on the windsheild wipers blood comes out of the water thing on the front of the car. also my roof has blood all over it. At first this car was rusted when i found it. I later learned to love it as I found great uses for it. first off the handling is great. WHen I run people down the superb handling really comes into play. It allows me to pursue the victims to places I never thought I could. From the sewers to the rooftop of buildings I always catch my victim with this car. Also I love how the victims intestines spill from thier stomachs as the car goes over their body. I also love theif horrific screams as the car crushes every bone in thier body. Also the blood splurts up from thier mouth. Its very pretty. Also I love to pick up hitch hikers and stab them with butcher knives. The blood splashes up to the roof of my car. I find trails of thier intestines on the knife as I pull it from the fresh bloody wound. its so great. then after I'm done I just toss the body into the back of the car and drive off. pretty cool.

cobra convertible
Strength:
Great power, soft seats/leather. great sound system. sounds amazing with exhaust.
Weakness:
Terrible in the rain!, domestic rattling interior over bumps. Maybe a little pricy. exspensive low-pro's, bad fuel ecn, small gas tank. high maintence. Bad weight distribution, kills fron breaks. Plastic instrument gauge easy to be scratched. Sexy car, will turn heads. Fun to drive, got extended warranty so i wouldn't have to worry about probs. Never really gave me prob's, had to have little things replaced:fog light, head-lamp (moisture) squeaky door, bad e-brake,. other minor things covered under warranty. With aftermarket adjustments, WOW, this thing really flies. Added about 20-25 hp, will easily beat a stock cobra. well worth the $ over the GT. Similar Products Used: RX-7 |
