2000 Ford Mustang Base Reviews

I absolutely love this car. It keeps me in the comfort of an American style sports car: roomy, with space to expand (both passenger count and engine size), while also providing a low center of gravity and light body, combined with smaller wheels to give me that rice-burner-esque handling.

However, with this car being an all-rounder, it doesn't exceed at any one task, other than looking sexy. After a good bath and wax, it seems to be smiling at the camera with every little sparkle in its metallic finish paint. Other than that though, in sports car terms, it is mediocre in all departments.

It can accelerate to 60MPH quickly, but easily beaten out by smaller cars with less weight, or bigger cars with more power. It also has good handling, but will be far outshined by other models such as the Nissan 350Z or even something as simple as a Honda Civic or other import. And it's not just in the import market either. If put up to the test, it would almost certainly be beaten out by new models of the Cobalt from Chevrolet, or the Pontiac G6.

To round it out, it is a joy to drive. My previous car was a good condition Chevy Camaro, late 80's model. Being only a small 3.1L V6 I didn't get much of that American Muscle action you'd expect, and the heavy frame made my handling suffer, so switching from that to the 2000 Ford Mustang is an upgrade in every department, with a lighter body weight, a larger engine (3.8L V6), and a shorter body combined with lower center of gravity, it makes every drive that much more enjoyable.

nice overall. paint and interior is in great condition, could use some different rims tho. engines is good accelerates and shifts smoothly. nothin really to complain about accept the rims. but yah overall its a great car, and fun to drive.

3.8 is defiantly lacking, even with a CAI and new intake manifold and spacer. for a 6 i guess shes ok, but really looking forward to dropping a 4.6 4V in her shes got a 3.73 rear and with out the v8 pushing it  top end is nonexistent.

its a stick shift, so hold on tight! hot red, dual exhaust with a tremek tranny! chick magnet and ticket magnet....but its worth it! this car is very fun to drive! i would not drive another vehicle for my first vehicle.

Hard to handle, but rides like a sports car. It's raw muscle and power, and SO fun to drive. Drinks gas... I love her! Braking is always tough with real wheel drive, but ABS helps a little. Hitting potholes while braking is BAD, throws the ABS off.
