2004 Ford Mustang User Reviews

Very Good Bang For Your Buck! — 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.

Great Sporty Used Car — Performance: The Ford Mustang has always been known it's great sounding engine, and the 2004 GT is no exception to the trend. 260 horsepower and 303 lb/ft may not sound like a lot, but this car is rather deceiving it's power delivery. Because of it's light weight and small proportions, one is easily lead to believe, especially when comparing to more modern autos, that it's putting out much more grunt from under the hood. It's not ballistically fast, but the mustang is definitely a quick car, with 0-60 happening in fewer than 5.6 seconds. The 5 speed manual is fairly precise, but the throws are somewhat long and a little on the rubbery side. It just doesn't click into place like it could. However, with all that said, I wouldn't want the car without it. Handling is certainly great, and is especially good considering the continued usage of the solid rear axle. It grips the corners well and steering feel and turn in prove to be pretty sharp.

Great Car — Great car. Low end power its ok. Really need a set of gears to getting going on the take off. The car hp wise runs otta steam after 400rpms. Thats where it makes ots max hp an tq. Handling is great. Car will roll on the hwy. I have personally taken my car to 140 on the hwy before having to switch to fifth gear.

Excellent Car — over all 5 stars! its fast fun and a cop magnet! haha a little heavy tho because its a convertible. Will leave a 50ft patch of rubber without even trying! putting the top down on a nice sounding car is one of the best feelings in the world!

I Love It, My Next Car Will Have To Be A Mustang — Performance - for a car that is only powered by a V6 it has great power and acceleration. Build Quality - I have not needed to do too many repairs, only major thing was the steering fluid was leaking. Appearance - the exterior of this car I like because of the very sharp edges, but it is also not boxy. The interior is great, the seats are soft, but aren't supportive. Cost of Ownership - Maintenance has not really been much of an issue, routinely take it in for check ups; gas mileage is ok because it is a V6 but it is not going to win any awards, especially the way I drive.
