Hey, it's a Mustang!

This is a very comfortable sports car, sit very well in the drivers seat, easy view from mirrors, gauges easy to see. Has a 4.0 ltr. v-6, Good on gas as I get about 22 mpg highway at about 65 to 70 mph. Body style that is close to Mustangs of the 70's. Great car to me!

I simply loved this car every day I've owned it.

I built this car to be a reliable, fun, well handling canyon carver. It definitely stands out in a crowd wherever I've driven it. I would definitely buy this car all over again. I never thought that I'd ever sell this car. I honestly wouldn't even consider selling it if not for the need of another larger vehicle.

Best example of a true American sports car in some

I have a GT convertible.....with a few tweaks, it pushes out 400 HP, and is a blast to drive! Always turns heads, has a ton of room, seats 4 comfortably, with more than a bottle of wine. Drive one, push it, and you will be sold. Cheap throaty V8 that will give you a deserved chubby, or for the other side....warm wetness where it counts!! I was never a Mustang guy, but now......

Second newest car I've ever purchased

Have mostly owned and driven 'vintage' type cars after purchasing a brand-new vehicle and having problems only a few years later. Rented a new Mustang convertible in 2005 for 10th wedding anniversary trip and enjoyed it. A year later, current (1992 vintage) car totaled in accident, so went looking out of curiosity for a 2005 or 2006 Mustang convertible & found this 2005 one at the local Ford dealer. Had it 13 years with no major problems except replacement of lower control arms (bought Ford Racing parts online for half of what Ford wanted for OEM parts).Regular oil changes yearly, pushing 120K miles, brakes and convertible top still in fair condition. I can be hard on a car and this one has stood up to it all.

Very customizable with great driveability

This car will turn heads. One has the opportunity to customize, personalize, and decide how their Mustang will portray their self-image. This car has great features: cruise control, anti-lock brakes, power windows, Bose audio, airbags, and a relatively quick drivetrain. The exterior has beautiful curves without compromising functionality.

Great power and performance! Fun to drive!

Plenty of room in front seat...hard to get in/out backseat and little leg room. Awesome ride and comfort for driver. I am only 5'3"...seat raises so I have no troubles seeing out. My son is 6' and he loves and is comfortable driving too. The performance of this muscle car is great!!
