I wish i had bought two...

I am very disappointed that no noble mind has concocted a devive for successful time travel, or I'd go back in time an buy another just like it. I'd even be down to pay in 2017 USD versus 2005 USD. And not even that accurately describes how great this vehicle is. The seats are comfortable and have a multitude of configurations. The ride is smooth, and you hear the engine growling versus the tires singing. That takes care of grandma's needs. The Shaker 500 is great if she likes a little boom boom. Moving on, the back seats are great for pets because you can easily tuck a blanket into the seat pockets. The arm rest allows you to put your phone in the console with an aux cord connected. The car lets you use just the fog lights (that's a biggie), it applies the brakes for you on steep stops, and the windows roll down if you press and hold the unlock button as you approach the car. Furthermore, the reliability has been exceptional - I am so surprised this is a Ford. But I must end by saying that I was in an accident involving another truck going 109 MPH. I walked away without a scratch. Again, I wish I could go back in time and buy another 2005 Redfire Mustang GT.

Made driving a blast, every time

Quick, great handling, smooth ride, nice sound, looks awesome, with up to 26 miles per gallon. What else could you ask for? Driving can get old, but not with this car, I love driving places in the Mustang its an all around incredible car.

05 Mustang

One of the best cars I've ever purchased, never enjoyed a car more. I would recommend anybody to get a mustang whenever they can and I hate selling it but I have to.

nice sporty style

I love the new body design of 2005 to 2009 mustangs. I prefer the V8 GT versions over the V6 base models

My experience.

Purchased a used Mustang as a daily. It had quite some miles on it. I finished putting 50,000 miles in just over 3 years and I have to say, this car is still holding up well. The interior is not the greatest. Exterior styling is great and yells mustang. I would recommend this car to a friend.

Fun Car to Drive!

Other than the great appearance of the Mustang, it is really fun to drive! It is comfortable comparing to other sports cars. The Shaker1000 is a wonderful sound system. The backseat and trunk are more spacious than other sports cars. Never regretted buying this car!

This car is a blast to drive and handles around corners well. Very clean and well taken care of. Legend Lime is a rare color so you will have a car that is not like all the others.

Informative and easy

I have contacted Michael's Motors in Nashville, TN in regards of 2005 Ford Mustang GT premium. They were polite, informative, very helpful in answering questions and addressing concerns. Since we are 5 hours away from Nashville, we asked to hold the vehicle for us until we could drive down there to see it and possibly purchase it. They have required a deposit down in order to hold the car for 2 weeks. I have sent a check (which was not cashed until our arrival on a day we have specified to be there). The sales person Adam Law as well as the office manager Linda Keller were very helpful and we have purchased this car. The ultimate test drive was 5 hour ride home, the car performed flawlessly. We are happy with our choice!
