I had the problem where the car would be dead

This was my 4th and maybe my last mustang I owed this car for over 15 years 2005 convertible and I was 1 of those who had the problem that the car wouldn’t start after sitting during the night. Ford couldn’t fixed it it was a common problem and a pain every day you go out there and the car would be dead had to jump her or at times it wouldn’t take a jump and off to ford it was towed and kept for a couple of days and needed a new battery. I went thur 3 batteries a year. Now I have a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T sport and after 5 years im still not use to a car starting every day

Great summer car..

This car is super comfortable for the driver and front passenger. The comfort for the rear passenger isn't the best. Cargo space is surprisingly decent for a sports car.

Best car I’ve ever owned!

I only sold this because I need more space for a family. Such a fun car and a great drive. Lots of space in the trunk but not much in the backseat. Didn’t bother me because the front is very spacious. Definitely going to miss this car.

Not you average used Mustang.

This car was driven less than 5000 miles a year and during the last 5 years was only driven to car cruises and shown. Highly detailed and meticulously cared for. I really don’t drive the car on the road so I don’t really have a lot of options on handling and performance.

Excellent first manual car as a teenager

I bought this car before I even knew how to drive stick, and learned almost on my own within a week of owning it. Easy car to drive and would definitely own another. I intend to replace my current one for a mustang GT or perhaps another similar style sports car.

Sharp looking, very reliable, eye catcher.

This eye catching Mustang has been one of the best cars I have ever owned... Very dependable, fun to drive and gets excellent gas mileage

Bought it used with 86k miles on it 3/2015

This car had 1 owner , car fax documentation had 1 front end collision reported . But the car was straight handled ok , but something was a little loose. As I exited the interstate just into the curve I applied the brakes and hit a bump in the road and the steering wheel almost ripped from my hands as it turned violently left and right with a sorta shimmy . The car had a 2 yr warranty . I took it back to the used car lot and explained what I had experienced. They took the car in the shop , called me and said they’d need it all day . To shorten things up: I got it back with all the front suspension and steering replaced , even new brakes and rotors. 😊. The mechanic said there is a service bulletin about the ball joint and control arm design wearing out early on this model. It drove like a new car ! 😎. Nice and tight with a Great brake pedal . I’ve seen put 110k on it . It still excites me. I’ll drive it until the wheels fall off. S197 is a Great Car!

2005 Ford Mustang GT Conv.

Outstanding retro late 60's design. Very competent V8 which is also very good on gas considering. Future Classics. Very inexpensive to own and reliable to a fault.
