However, some express concerns about fuel economy and maintenance. A few reviews mention the car's high price and varying dealership practices as negatives."
A street drag racer that chews up current Mopar and GM offerings easily but not build to turn or stop quickly.
April 27, 2008I like everything about SVT performance power style and exclusivity the funnest car I have ever owned and I would buy another in a heartbeat would reccomend this model to any motorhead not a Granny car unless your Granny is Cha Cha Muldowney!
October 8, 2013It was a fun car to have, the Mystic really was a show stopper. Relieable and had decient power, but its main job was to look good. I would like to have anouther one, or the second generation of it, the 2004 Mystic Chrome.

February 26, 2011This is a wonderful car I feel so lucky to have one. It's somehow a sports car mixed with a comfortable inside. I mean the seats are more comfortable than my wife and my daily own car. The rush when you start her up feel and hear the rumble of the engine and push in the racing clutch is awesome and then she takes of smooth and fast. God I love this car.
November 19, 2014Has great acceleration for being almost stock, turns and stops on a dime. Needs only minor repairs. The gas needle is alittle off and the front right rim rattles alittle bit. Otherwise thats it. Very comfortable seats with a sleek interior. A great performance car.
May 18, 2009The cars features are great. The value was terrible. The dealership was ver over priced and there were not willig to negotiate. They said the KBB value I was using was not accurate and was not a clear representation of the current market value. I am not sure why it isnt. There are numerous factors that are taking into consideration and I am not sure what other factors could give a more accurate market value. The car is not missing anything. a great model and had lots of options standard. I would receommend any other Ford Mustang model. THere is one that should meet or exceed all of your expectations.
September 11, 2023It has been a great car for me and my kids to take out on a Sunday afternoon for a cruise. Top down, it is a great feeling. My second convertible and I think that they are awesome. I have owned the car for a decade and it has required very few attention. It just drives and drives and drives.
January 20, 2014Build quality is excellent, convertible top works great,rear suspension is stiff,but the power and attention is more than worth it,bought it new,avg.20 mpg,no problems at 51,500 miles,they could have jazzed the interior more along with sportier seats.
January 25, 2010Its a great car that looks and performes great. Has tons of power and the appearance is awsome. The leather interior is comfortable and well made. Handleing is very responsive and carves corners like its on rails. I love this car.
July 16, 2009great performance, and handling. it does have a stiff clutch that makes it a bit tough to get used to, but with daily driving can be picked up within a week. its built like a ford. if your a ford fan then u would know what that means. overall its a great eye grabber. with not to many seen its sure to turn heads and snap necks. the gas mileage is not shabby but with a sports car its not great. and if one were to own this car i would not be at all concerned about the gas. its a Sports car. maintenance is a bit of a drag if u dont know what u r doing. but with all sports cars, if u buy it, chances are u love it, and know it. the fun factor is without a doubt A+. just know that if u disrespect the car, it will let u know quickly.
