Sally's been really amazing to me. Gifted to me 7 y/a 175,000 miles. I wasn't a fan of mustangs after 1968 or convertibles. Would highly recommend keeping as original mechanically. I believe that is why she's a strong B.Jul 25, 2025

This car is absolute great. I've had it since 2001 and it runs just like I bought it in 2001. I feel safe when driving the car and it is an absolute joy to drive. I would recommend this car to anybody, especially a person who is looking for their first car.Jun 03, 2014

Very stylish muscle car with a good deal of comfort. My kids love me taking them and picking up from school in this car. Extremely fun car, handles the road very good and has the looks to turn heads. Great thing about Mustang's is there are tons of places in town or online for mod's or upgrades.Oct 20, 2013

Great car if you know anything about them you probably don need convincing. Recommended for a gear head with no kids and a steady job. The build quality is great, its acceleration even stock is great its got pick up in all gears, handles well for a muscle car, overall a great looking and very fun car.Sep 19, 2012

Great little Mustang! Special Edition car that started the special edition craze back up. Good acceleration for 265 rated horsepower, gobs of torque, and great fuel economy for a V-8. I get over 26 mpg on the highway, and it does well around town too, with about 22 mpg. Sharp car, came in Dark Highland Green, True Blue, and Black. Makes this old man feel like a youngster again!Oct 24, 2011

Is a fun little car. I love to drive it. Takes the turns well, but likes to kick the rear out on me. Could use some more power, but for a daily driver its great. Gets 22 highway, 16 city. Don't know what to say about it but its a great car. Easy to work on, huge aftermarket for parts, always room for improvement.Feb 19, 2011

This car is pure american muscle. great acceleration, good handling, and very good braking. The exterior is clean, sleek, and looks like it's fast. Gas mileage isn't that bad if you drive right... which i don't, and it's not very high maintenance even though I make it seem that way (i baby it). Very fun car to drive Feb 03, 2011

Amazing quality, hasnt left me on the side of the road yet or ever. Amazing performance and nice and cheap for repairs and to buy. Chick magnet. Everything you will ever want in a car you will find in a Mustang GT.May 06, 2010

This car is amazing! I will NEVER sell this car. Because of the experience I have had with this mustang and the other 3 fords that I have owned, I will always drive a ford (prefferably a mustang of course). There is not a single thing that I would change about my mustang.Mar 05, 2010

I love my car. It's fast, looks good, handles decently (except
in the snow), it's extremely comfortable for the people in the
front seat. Only thing i wish it had was the drop top. Hopefully
soon i can throw some more money into it and make it even
better.Jan 03, 2010

One of the cleaner designs of the late model Mustangs. No gingerbread or unnecessary wings, spoilers, or the hideous "running boards" found on the other models. I added a Cobra IRS and 2001 Cobra 4 cam engine, so it runs and handles a bit better than it did stock. Very enjoyable car to drive on a daily basis. Dec 19, 2009

Performance- V-6 is Underpowered for a Mustang 193 HP? COME ON! There's base rice burners with 4 cylinders with more HP than that... atleast break into the 200 HP range!
Build Quality- For an American, it's pretty good... after market Exhaust systems can rattle after a while, but it's all good.
Appearance- It's a Mustang....enough said!
Cost- 19/26 mpg is pretty good for a college kid.
Fun Factor- High points... turn off the traction control and have fun!

the car has good performance for a v6 but mine doesnt have
very good gas mileage. The only repair that i had to get done
was it was leaking a little but of fuel he seal came off. I love
the appearance i love the yellow it stands out. this car is so
fun to drive it has just enough power to it so i doesnt suck gas
like a v8Nov 30, 2009

Great acceleration, reliable engine if maintained, mpg/ factory seats sucks, no fresh air from switch: have to turn on fan (its a ford thing) , have 130k on it w/ no problems b/c I keep up with maintenance. lots of upgrades available.Sep 28, 2009

ok. my favorite part about my mustang is the sound.It has duel flowmaster exaust and a cold air intake. thats how the 3.6 V6 makes a good rumble tone. then the looks. Its matallic red with cragar wheels that look agressive and has dark tinted windows. also has decals on the tail lights to look like flames. the only thing i dont like about the car is the front end. the head lights are not clear anymore so i have poor lights. and i dont like the nose. it goes up just a tad but enough for me to complain about it. lol. i like the acceleration, its ok. braking is exelent, and the handling is great. i just got new tires and it made a world of difference. thanks firestone. lol. the only thing that squeaks is my breaks. gas mileage is not too bad. thats if i dont floor it all the time. hahahaha. so if you add all that up, you get a hot looking, aggressive sounding, corner hungry mustang. lolSep 15, 2009

The torque on this bad boy is so crazy! I love my baby its so fast but it also gets me in trouble (speeding ticket) Its black on black leather inside.. And of course its a stick shift, how can you drive a sports car and it not be a stick? I love to drive this car nothin better than turnin that traction control off and having fun with it. Its so fast and when you downshift it takes off like no other. 100% American Muscle!Sep 01, 2009

I love my car because its been my dream car since i was 9 years old. It sounds amazing and i think i will keep this car forever. I would definitely buy another mustang if i had the money for it. It's a beautiful car and goes fast!Aug 25, 2009

performance exhaust and headers give it a great sound, predator tuner , gears and cold air keep it fast. new headlights, front (cobra-r 2000) bumper make it look aggressive plus the hood scoop and spoiler. the hood pins are a nice touch as well.Aug 21, 2009

Awesome styling, performance even for a v6 is
underpowered! No major problems and it now has 82K miles.
Still looks and drives well. Runs high 16's in the 1/4 mile. Still all
stock except for exhaust and rims.Aug 19, 2009

fiberglass hood with roush racing shaker, strut tower brace, k&n filters, b&m short throw shifter, b&m hammer shifter, angel eye projector headlights, sequential tail lights, 3:31 gears, kumho racing tires. fun to drive, fast and can burnout through third gear. real headturner. Aug 14, 2009

C'mon. It's a Mustang. There is no better muscle car in history. This car has outlasted all and still gives great performance at a price that all can afford. Even a 6 cyl has good acceleration. They retain value well and always impress. They are so much fun.Jun 15, 2009

For years it had been a dream to own a Mustang. That dream finally came true. We all know the image of the Mustang. American, iconic, performance, quality, and just a damn fun car to drive. Havent had it too long, but when it was bought, it was an addd bonus ot find that it had Flowmasters and a cold air intake. I have never loved driving a car so much. Mar 01, 2009

This car is a V6, but it is powerful, dependable and efficient. Wildly fun to drive and looks great on the road.Almost eight years old and has never broken down or required a major repair. The only drawback would be that it is one car that truly requires winter tires or it does not navigate well in snow.Dec 23, 2008

performance is good, handles like its on rails, which surprised me considering the aging live rear axle. 0-60 in around 5 flat ran the 1/4 mile in 13.7 at 101 when it was stock. Great subtle looks, Breaks are amazing because of the upgraded cobra brakes that come standard with the bullitt. I own number 2735Dec 14, 2008

great car, awsome sound with the slp exhaust. have rims for it but dont have tires yet. never had to fix anything on it yet, has been an absolutly perfect car. great car to drive always turns heads. only bad thing is terrible gas mileage but gas just went down.Nov 17, 2008

Performance is awesome! American Muscle V8! Braking is good in stock form but upgrading the brakes only makes it better. Handling stock is so-so but when you add full suspension, it handles very well. Appearance is great/mean stock, you can do a plethora of things to spruce up the looks and make it look even meaner! Interior will do, nothing special to talk about. Gas mileage is good for a V8, I get about 18mpg in the city (but it goes down depending on how much you like to use your right foot =)). Maintenance isn't bad at all, it's very well built and nothing major has gone bad on me. This car is a blast to drive, especially because it's stick!Aug 28, 2008

My first brand new car... it was so fast and I never made any modifications at all to it. I went 150mph on the German autobahn, no problem. The handling was cool, the braking could have been better though. Good stock CD system. Not good on gas in the city, but decent on the highway if you keep it under 90mph.Aug 18, 2008

I took this mustang (yes, the one actually in the pics) for a test drive and i must say, this is by far the most fun and at the same time scariest car i personally have driven yet. The supercharger can be thanked for that. I can't wait to own one. The interior looks awesome and has a road racer feel to it. My favoritee part of the exterior styling is the side exit exhaust. You dont see that much. This mustang was meant to be more of a fun time/show car more than it was a daily driver.Aug 11, 2008

Standard is fun to drive, which makes driving it fun. It's only a V6, so it doesn't have the power I wish it did. But it still looks cool and sounds better cause it has a new muffler, making it rumble a little, but not making it too loud. And the white MUSTANG letters on the rear bumper match perfectly with the green paint.Aug 03, 2008

*performance--can't beat a V8
*build quality--great. really holds up well when you hit a deer going 65-70mph on the bypass.
*appearance- Interior: all leather interior, power driver seat, power windows and locks, tinted windows, mach 460 sound system. Exterior: Silver metallic paint and stock 17" rims. HID headlights. Stage 2 centerforce clutch and a steeda short throw shifter
Cost of ownership--19/22 mpg...so about $200/month for gas. another $20 for an oil change and $93/month for 2 cases of Brad Penn Race Oil.
Fun Factor--car is extremely fun to drive! glad i got rid of my honda and got the mustangJul 26, 2008

I love this car, I've wanted one of these since they changed the style in 1999. I like the aggresive look of it and it has just enough power to have fun with. I also dig the amount of aftermarket mods that are out there, lots of potential.Jun 28, 2008

The 2001 GT Mustang was purchased by me right after I sold my V6 Convertible. I bought this Mustang with 50,000 miles on it. It was my first stick shift, and it was easy to learn to drive. This was as reliable as my V6 Convertible, and had plenty of power with 260hp (impressive for a 2001 vehicle), and 320 ft/lbs torque (which is still impressive to this day). Performance upgrades including a performance clutch, Flowmaster 40 series dual exhaust, and a K&N Air Intake, made this Mustang feel more like a 300 hp machine, and made it sound incredible. Styling upgrades included window tint, custom lettering and stripes, and chrome Cobra wheels. This was one awesome car, and the biggest regret of my life was selling it.Jun 24, 2008

The 2001 Mustang V6 Convertible was an excellent and reliable vehicle, which I had purchased with only 24,000 miles on it. It had an excellent color option, featuring a black exterior with tan striping, and a tan convertible top, with a matching two-tone tan leather interior. The car came premium, with power everything, and a premium 6-disc sound system, along with alloy wheels and numerous other amenities. My only disappoint was the lack of power that Ford put into the V6 Mustang, and that the gas mileage was not much greater than the V8. With a little bit of my own personal additions, which included some performance upgrades, along with decal work, the V6 Mustang seemed more like a GT, and got looks everywhere it went. I sold it for an upgrade to a V8, when it had only 41,000 miles on it. In the 11 months I had the car, the only service performed was routine maintenance.Jun 24, 2008

Great powerful muscle car! Very powerful engine! Sounds great. Great to drive in the summer. Can't really drive in the winter due to rear- wheel drive but definitely a car that you should have driven at least once in yor life!May 13, 2008

In regards to my 2001 Mustang convertible, I could not have asked for a better car. The ride is smooth, and the engine purs. It is a great car to own, especially in the summer time. Becareful of the Exhaust Manifolds though. With time they crack, and it costs a fortune to repair.Jun 09, 2007
