Excellent Car

My third Mustang; glad I'm buying another one. The GT C/S pakage is excellent as well. Lots of power to go around! Got great customer support service from Antonio; the process was quick and painless!

Great Dealer

Great guys to work with. I purchased a Chevrolet Corvette and they shipped it directly to my house much cheaper than flying in and driving back and the car was better than described

2008 GT Premium Convertible

This is my favorite Mustang of all time and I've been driving them for nearly 40 years. My first car was a '66 GT Fastback and I've restored and driven them ever since never having one newer than a 1973 until the remodel in '05. My '08 is a world apart from the old years in both looks, handling and feel. I bought this when they first came out and haven't had even one problem with it. It's garaged and still looks and drives like new at 60K miles. I like the new 2013 but not enough to sell my '08 and I don't need 2 of them and an Acadia so I'll probably hold off on the '13 until I tire of my '08 even though they've taken it to another level of perfection for the original Pony car

2008 Mustang GT Premium

There is just little not to like about this car, though it wouldn't be for everyone. The styling is great, although I did replace the grill with a more classic billet aluminum (foglight delete) grill. It rides hard but that's to be expected with the handling package. The traction control system is effective, the bells-and-whistles interior a joy, and even though it's only a 4.6 it's fast and sounds as sweet as a Bach fugue.

The V6 model is a nice entry-level car.

I just bought an '08 with a V6 and a manual transmission. What a fun car to drive! It's styled really nicely with the Pony Package, has a decent exhaust note, and handles pretty well. I have a lot of fun driving it. The base sound system is alright. Could use a sub in the trunk though. I'll probably keep this one until the wheels fall off.

I like it

Great car. I have grown up with Mustangs and always wanted one. Finally did buy one. Great car. Lots of power. Very nice. I do not like not having enough storeage inside the car. There is not room for anything extra. Paint on the hood is falling off. 30 thousand miles and paint is coming off. Ford will not go good on the paint. Ford say that they are not having any problems. It is going into the body shop tomorrow to be repaired which I'm paying for. But, I would still buy another., fun little car.

Fun to drive '08 Mustang GT

Fun car, plenty of power for an everyday car. Is a little heavy on fuel but that's the only downside to this car. Definitely recommended to person looking for a sports car.
