2004 Ford Mustang Reviews

I bought this car in June of 2007 with 29,000 miles on it.  It was built in August of 2003.  It has a 3.8L (232 ci) V6.  It produces 193 horsepower and 225 lbs/ft torque.  It also came with a 5 speed manual transmission.  It produces enough power to be a fun little car, that can easily be daily drive and still look nice.  Also there is a large after market for the Mustang that allows for easy customization of the car.  The breaks are sufficient along with the handling though some say its too floaty for a sports car.  This is fixed on the GT model.  Acceleration is quick with 2nd gear at 55, 4th at 115.  The car tops out at 125+ mph with the governor off.  The quality is good.  Everything is tactile, though cheap.  The radio is decent, and the seats are comfortable though fitting more than 4 in the car becomes difficult.  The trunk is decent as well, not offer too much room but enough for a pair of golf bags.  Like any Ford it does not like the winter or the cold.  It squeaks though those are easily tuned out by the engine.  The only repairs it has needed was a new serpentine belt at 60,000 miles, and of course regular oil changes  Appearance is classic American Muscle coupe
with a long hood and short rear deck and spoiler.  Cost is cheap.  It gets about 16mpg in the city and 29 on the highway.  Maintenance is cheap as well, just basic up keep.     The Fun Factor for the car is decent.  It's fun, quick, and a sporty car for the value

Wow! I love this car and I wouldn't trade it for any other.

Performance: V8, 32 Valve DOHC has excellent acceleration, and good braking. I don't complain about the handling though I would not recommend this car for wet weather. It isn't the fastest car in the world, obviously, but it's one of the rare newer cars that has that old school muscle feel. There are bigger engines with more horsepower but being lightweight this Mach can outrun many.

Build Quality: I have owned mine for going on 2 years and so far I have had no problems.

Appearance: This is where the car really shines! What a beautiful Mustang. It wins at car shows almost everywhere. Ford put retro touches all around, including the famous shaker hood. It is a serious blast from the past! If you can't afford a pristine looking classic muscle car but want one, then get an 03-04 Mach 1.

Cost of Ownership: It depends on the owner as always. I don't abuse my car so it hasn't cost alot to maintain. It does require 92+ octane fuel so all of that premium gas can cost you. Put a nice rumbling exhaust on it and you will want to accelerate hard and there goes the budget for gas. Insurance may be costly for higher risk people, at my age this is not a problem. I am choosy about the car and I use only Mobil 1 synthetic oil so oil changes cost a little more. It isn't an expensive car, but you will be tempted to 'mod' it and all of those modifications will add up. Modifications would be optional, of course.

Fun Factor: In my opinion, it just doesn't get much better than this car! It gets mucho 'smiles per gallon'! This is a car that can make a bad day into a good one ;)

This car looks great. If you take care of a car like this it can be an eye catcher. Not to mention everyone likes a mustang whether they admit it or not. The performance on it is average seeing as all i have is a V6 with an automatic. The steering and handling on in couldn't be better though. Its one sharp car. Now that I have one, my dad is talking about getting a GT.

fantastic car to drive and great performance .. if u r not too much into mileage and love to drive a fast car which has speed, apperance and performance.. u will love it.. its a very great car to drive.. nice accelaration.. nice pickup. i will recommend anybody for this car.. .

The acceleration is amazing,My car looks so sexy and when I get in, its like its brand new all over again.I love my car.I am most definitly a pony girl.I don't know why anyone would drive something else when you could drive a mustang,and the gas is not any worse than any other car,if you drive nice..lol
