What owners say
"The 2004 Ford Mustang receives praise from owners for its impressive power, acceleration, and overall fun driving experience. Many appreciate the great sound system and the car's reliability. However, some drivers find the interior basic and note limited cargo space as a downside."
Strait from the factory this machine puts out 310 hp, and 335 lb/ft tq. at the crank. Acceleration is pretty impressive, it will pull hard from 0-130mph. The car comes stock with sub frame connectors so off the line you will have no problem hooking up. This car comes standard with the cobra brake system so when you need to stop on a dime it'll do nothing short of that. As far as purchasing aftermarket parts for this car, bolt-ons will not really do awhole lot other than make the car louder. I already have almost 2k into my car. Steeda CAI, Steeda Underdrive pulleys, Steeda tri-ax short throw shifter, Bassani O/R x-pipe, Borla Stingers cat-back exhuast, and a Diablosport Predator Tuner. To be honest, the only thing that I have noticed a power gain from was the tuner. What this car really needs is forced induction, i.e. a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous. I have required no repairs since I have owned the mach. Although my 3rd gear sychronyzer is starting to go, and my clutch is starting to slip a little bit. However I do push her pretty hard on the weekends and at the track. The interior is pretty simple, the black leather seats are very comfortable. Exterior is very unique and stylish. I have been known to get 26+ mpgs on the highway. As far as city driving goes, you better be ready to pay, not to mention the car requires 91 or higher octane. The fun factor is always there, put it this way, you will never hear me say that this car is not fun to drive.
July 12, 2010I bought this car in June of 2007 with 29,000 miles on it. It was built in August of 2003. It has a 3.8L (232 ci) V6. It produces 193 horsepower and 225 lbs/ft torque. It also came with a 5 speed manual transmission. It produces enough power to be a fun little car, that can easily be daily drive and still look nice. Also there is a large after market for the Mustang that allows for easy customization of the car. The breaks are sufficient along with the handling though some say its too floaty for a sports car. This is fixed on the GT model. Acceleration is quick with 2nd gear at 55, 4th at 115. The car tops out at 125+ mph with the governor off. The quality is good. Everything is tactile, though cheap. The radio is decent, and the seats are comfortable though fitting more than 4 in the car becomes difficult. The trunk is decent as well, not offer too much room but enough for a pair of golf bags. Like any Ford it does not like the winter or the cold. It squeaks though those are easily tuned out by the engine. The only repairs it has needed was a new serpentine belt at 60,000 miles, and of course regular oil changes Appearance is classic American Muscle coupe with a long hood and short rear deck and spoiler. Cost is cheap. It gets about 16mpg in the city and 29 on the highway. Maintenance is cheap as well, just basic up keep. The Fun Factor for the car is decent. It's fun, quick, and a sporty car for the value
September 27, 2008Fast. Really really fast. Beautiful. Leather interior in black and grey. 2 door but 4 seater. Front wheel drive. Beastly engine lol (he growls). Holds 6 cd's at a time.

March 10, 2008I could carry my full drumset in this car, much to people's amazement. (Most in the trunk, bass & floor tom in the backseat.) It is more fun than a "practical" car, and more practical than you'd think a sportscar would be. Never gave me a lick of trouble, always very reliable but also said "fun". All I had to do was take her in for regular oil changes and manufacturer's maintenance, and she did her job well toting me around. Just like the namesake, the Mustang. It's probably the best named model of a car ever!
October 7, 2014performance: medium acceleration, abs sys medium braking, good handling, fantastic traction... build quality: amazing car dont need any repairs appearance: good interior, excellent extirior, amazing sound sys. mach1 sound cd box 6 powered speakers... cost of : 100km/h, very good fun: try it and see ;)
August 20, 2011It transforms everyone who sits in the driver seat. It starts when the engine comes to life with the rumble from the exhaust. Then its just a matter of seconds as the driver runs through the gears on a full throttle rocket launch of a ride. Talk about performance... The only thing negative about this car is me not have buying one sooner!!!
September 16, 2010I have wanted a black 40th Anniversary Mustang GT ever since I was 16. I love the 99-04 body style. This car was impressively fast when I first bought it stock, but I learned quickly about their potential as soon as I started to upgrade the engine. Now this thing moves! I love the black on black look and can tell that it definitely turns heads. The exhaust has that great signature Mustang sound that sounds amazing. It's great to take to the drag strip and also perfect for daily driving. The only bad thing about this car is controlling myself enough behind the wheel to stay out of trouble.
July 27, 2010I love the torque along with the horsepower. Even though I have some custom work with my engine, a basic GT still has great acceleration. It's not too bad on gas mileage, and I use supreme gas. The interior is very basic, I don't really care about that. It's performace is what matters.
March 3, 2009You would think that because it's a Ford, it's an unreliable vehicle but this one has been very reliable. Routine maintenance is all I've done to it. Out of the box performance is very good, but it could be better, and that's why there is a huge aftermarket available for these cars. I get compliments on it all the time and I love every bit of it.
December 26, 2007I really liked this car. Bought it for my wife and she really enjoyed driving her sports car. A great sounding "rumble" when starting with quick acceleration. Just a true American sports car. Mustang is an American icon sports car.
