Great fun to drive, tons of power! •Performance - acceleration -10, braking - 10, handling -10 •Build Quality - 10 squeaks/rattles none with over 125k miles on it! •Appearance - both interior and exterior styling are fine with me. could use more cup holders but the fixed that with later year models. •Cost of Ownership - gas mileage- its not a hybrid, but is good on highway driving, maintenance- low cost, parts are easy to find and fix! •Fun Factor - Very fun to drive!

Out of the cars I owend, this one is absolutely the funest rag top to be seen in. Performance wise it handles like a dream, stiff suspension pluse the wider tires adds to driver satisfaction. I have took turns in it that would make grandma hold on and scream for dear life. Thats fun and all but any corvette would smoke it. The one drawback I can think of would be the chattering after you reach 50mph but after 110 you dont really notice. I love Americia!!!Apr 10, 2010

Love the car, got it with 52k on it and now have 177k and still runs like a champ. Performance for it being stock is prety good, fun to drive once you lower it(handles much better) gears however do need to be changed from the stock 3:27's because lets face it, doesnt quite cut it. 3:73's or 4:10's are a good improvment(i have 4:10's) Build has been great, doesnt squeak much(i have a sound system that has loosened some stuff) but overall it holds together good esp in the michigan winters. Apperance is great inside and out, doesnt have a "cheap" feel to it like i have noticed in some gm cars. Its a fun car to drive but i do wish it had the 5.0 in it since its alot easier to mod and cheaper to do so but the 4.6 does have better options and better suspensionSep 07, 2009

This car was hot to look at but it was a 96 and the first year of the new 4.6 liter. Basically the design was a little flawed and not thoroughly tested as it should be. In 98 the revised the intake which was most of the problem this brought the horsepower up another 15 from 215 to 230. In 99 when they changed the body style again the was more improvments to the engine and that brought horsepower up to 245. In 2001 it jumped to 265 and when the latest body style came in 2005 the horsepower was finally at a respectfull 300. Due to the heavy weight of the car (especially a convertible adds another 600 lbs) and the price tag of it when it comes to performance the mustang has almost always been in the back of the pack. But they have a certain nostaglia to them that makes the purchase worth while. They will always due what they were meant to do which is eat asphalt and spit burnt rubber. Besides most people don't buy cars with racing being there main concern...Jun 22, 2009

Great car fun to drive for any person. Would be a lot more fun if it was a manual. Doesn't need a lot of repairs even for an american sports car. If anything I wish the interior was better looking. Nothing to really complain about 190,000+ miles and stilling running strong. While the V8 GT is the real mustang, the V6 has its pluses. Uses a lot less gas and insurance cost is GREAT. The manual would be more fun but harder to find at low price.Aug 19, 2008

Wanted a Mustang since i graduated high school in 1988 and finally got this Pacific Green 4.6 in 1996. It was a present to me. First mod was MAC cat-back exhaust and Jamex springs. It was on from then. Now it has all the bolt-ons. It has a 2004 4.6 motor, C&L intake plenum, 75mm Accufab TB, intake spacer, MAC fenderwell CAI, Motoblue pulleys, Chrome Radiator hoses, MAC Longtube headers and ProChamber pipe, Diablo sport tuned chip by MV Performance, FMS aluminum drive shaft, tokico rear shocks, 3:73 gears, black tail light bezels, clear corner lights, sequentail tail lights, S351 rear spoiler, 17" Cobra R rims, Pioneer CD Player, 2 10" JBL woofers and a Flex Alpine amp. Over all I love the car, I love working on it and most of all I Love how it sounds. That entire MAC exhaust sounds great. I get more compliments about that, than anything else. Didnt want to be like everyone else and get Flowmasters. People always say " Hey, that doesnt sound like flowmasters..." and I just smile and say thats because its not. :-) Jun 07, 2008
