1995 Ford Mustang Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1995 Ford Mustang was created with an earlier model in mind. The 1995 Mustang was built with a respectful nod to the original 1964 Mustang. Not only was the exterior made to look like the earlier car with its segmented taillights and side scoops, but engines were available to recall the excitement associated with America's first pony car.
Among the most popular trim was the very limited edition 1995 Mustang SVG Cobra and Cobra R with its incredibly powerful 351-ci V8 was rated at 300 horsepower. Ford originally released only 100 of the Cobra R's, then added a Special Vehicles Team to the project to increase this number to 250. After realizing that many of these models were being held as collectibles, Ford started selling only to active drivers in order to get their crown jewel on the road and visible.

This car handles like a dream. It has amazing acceleration, even with just the V6 engine, and the manual shifter results in short throws and silky smooth shifts. It can corner and stop on a dime and leaves you as the driver with a feeling of total control. The front seats have a "cockpit" type feel to them, which I find enjoyable. Fit and finish is excellent, as the interior of the cabin has a very smooth and upscale appearance. I never experienced any rattles or noises stemming from the cabin. The ride is extremely smooth and quiet, and I have put many relaxing highway miles on this car. In summer temps, I have been able to achieve an excellent 30-32 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission, and typically average around 25 mpg in city driving. Visibility is excellent, and parking is easy. The fiberglass construction of the entire exterior means that rust will never be a problem, an added bonus.
The Mustang was not designed for winter driving, and it shows. Handling in the snow and ice is extremely poor, made more so by the manual transmission. I drove this year-round and learned to manage its deficiencies in winter weather, but I do not recommend winter driving in this car. The back seats are difficult to access for passengers, due to the 2-door coupe design. The back seats can, however, be folded down level with the floor of the trunk, allowing for long objects to be hauled with little problems as long as they are no more than 1-2 feet in height. I drove this car hard, but never had any mechanical problems aside from the head gaskets blowing around 120,000 miles. The exhaust system tends to rust, I highly recommend replacing with stainless steel if you live in a northern climate.
For several years, this car provided me with the most enjoyable driving experience I've ever had. Acceleration, cornering, handling, and braking were all excellent and gave me a feeling of being in absolute control of the road. Whether joy-riding in town, going for a spin on back roads, or cruising on the highway, this car fit the bill. Highway driving in particular stands out, as road noise is minimal, the ride is extremely comfortable and relaxed, and acceleration makes navigating heavy traffic no problem at all. The Mustang is an excellent, excellent car for any mid-sized individual or couple who enjoys a refined driving experience, but is not suitable for families due to the difficulty of access and size of the rear seat, and may not be suitable for large individuals due to the cockpit type design of the front seats.May 29, 2013

Was a good car to start with then the engine and transmission went out so I replaced them with the v8 out of my old mach 1. after that it was great until the transmission went out and then i sold it.. still sad about that. was a fun car, looked great, never had to do anything other than change engine and tranny but all in all i loved the carDec 29, 2011

The 3.8v6 is far underpowered for its size, but does provide excellent low end
torque for fun in the corners. the back seat is not efficient for anyone over the
height of 4 feet, and the front seats slide back far enough for even a tall
person like me to drive comfortably. the trunk is roomy but the opening is small,
so fitting in large cargo can be difficult. i experienced about 30 mpg freeway
and 24 city personally, when i was driving conservatively. on a rough drive it
averages 20, still decent fuel economy. The car is wonderful for long trips alone
or with another person - the front seats really show their comfort here, and the
gas mileage is great for long drives.Dec 27, 2011

loving the 302 v8 engine performance is good and sounds great with the
windows down, not much fun being auto would prefer manual gearbox
suspension is hard and feels the bumps in the road, brakes are top notch
having discs all round
interior is just right black leather seats very comfortable i've added to the exterior striping, wheels, headlights, bonnet scoop etc wanted to give it the
traditional muscle car look to much yellow before the black was added
dislike the lights front & back front bumper could of been more traditional
mustang styling
affordable mustang prices are high here in the UK don't even think about
buying a v8 if you worry about price of petrol even tho it will do 30 mpg
its a fun car to drive a real head turner Oct 24, 2011

I love this car. Its my 1st Mustang, and so far, Ive put a new motor in it, a new transmission, Motegi Racing 19 inch rims with Nitto drag radial tires, dual 3 inch exhaust with Flowmaster 40 American Thunders, a Mach III ram air hood, had it painted this last spring...Aug 24, 2010

Love my mustang. Awsome to drive. Its quick and fast. Could be faster, hopefully going to get on that soon. Needs some new wheels and lowering springs. Want to do some stuff to the engine. Just a h/c/i for now. The paint is a rare vibrant/performance red. Only 1625 of the year 1995 mustang gt's had this color. Its chipping in some spots need a tiny bit of work. Absolutly no rust. The interior is mint. Drivers seat has a few tears. Hopefully gettin that fixed too. Gets around 20 mpg and it is a thrill to drive.Aug 23, 2010

Solid car, hard suspension in combonation with rearwheel drive and 215 ft/lbs of torque make her a great car for drifting. I learned through trial and error and the Tokyo Drift movie. Now I am pretty good. She isn't too great for racing because its got a poor top end speedMay 08, 2010

My first car. The v6 is not very fast (i.e. acceleration) but it definitely is fun to drive. Haven't needed any major repairs in the 2 years I've owned it (but I take good care of it and do all proper maintenance). Gas mileage is decent but not stellar.Nov 12, 2009

My '95 Mustang performs impecibly in all areas, it has minor repairs, (minor rust, paint trade marks on rear bumper) interior and exterior are both extremely beautiful to see, well maintained, no visible leaks anywhere! it has a 5.0L HO EFI, getting anywhere from 21-26 MPG! It can get you where you want to very fast! It also has a 5 speed manual transmission!Nov 10, 2009

She's not the fastest, or the prettiest (though she's pretty damn close) I'm very happy with Lady Heather. We enjoy the casual drives and embarassing tuner boys in front of their girlfriends. Engine runs as good as shes sounds and I can pin my needle at 150mph!Nov 08, 2009

It was a breath of fresh air, after 13years of the compact look. It was stylish and somewhat resembled its former glory of the 64 1/2. Was low on horse power being that it was a v6 model. It was great on gas and was relativly inexpensive compared to other sports cars. All around good vehicle. I wouldn't mind owning another mustang in the future.Oct 19, 2009

Performance of the 5.0L is pretty impressive. Acceleration improved dramatically with the install of 3:73s. I love the deep throaty exhaust I get with no cats, long tube headers and an H-pipe. Gas mileage is pretty low but cost of maintenance and ownership is low too! This car is a blast to drive, especially on a beautiful day with the top down. Every blonde deserves to have her hair blowing in the wind, right?!Oct 14, 2009

3.8 L v6 engine

needs an alignment
great gas mileage
cheap on insurance because its old
cheap parts because they are so popular
kind of noisy inside

Got the v6 b/c the GT didn't provide that much better performance for the upcharge in price. Decided to use the money elsewhere (cobra spoiler, side exhaust, 17" cobra rims & 255/45 all around, white guages, K&N filter, side scoops & louvers, and paint black mirrors to match car).
I had a lot of fun with my v6 5-speed. Having had 86SVO, 87LX5.0, & 88GTConvt previously, I enjoyed the antilock disk brakes and the lack of the monster v8 infront during hard cornering, but I missed the raw power.
Thankfully the 3.8l blew it's headgasket right on cue @ 75K miles. Such a problem that ford started to cover this under "warranty" if pressed. I chose to take this oppertunity to modify the engine affordably. I thought about 5.0 swaps but didn't want the weight out front again. I had the uper and lower intakes cleaned & polished, a minor valve job, upgraded head gaskets, bigger feul injectors, fuel pump, and a performance computer chip. Added to this was a 3.55 rear and trac-loc from a junked v8.
I knew my mechanic had done well when I showed-up and he offered to buy the car from me. This thing was FAST, really fast! And cornered impressivle for a car 5yrs old w/ +75K originally costing less than $16K.
This was a great car as long as you understood that driving hard can cause problems and cost money. I was sad to see it go. This mustang turned out to be the best bang for the buck of any I had, which says something starting with less and using aftermarket to finish up YOUR Mustang.Aug 27, 2009

It is a very fast modern muscle car with amazing handling and decent gas mileage. The last year of the 302. It gets anywhere from 17-22 on average. The best I have ever gotten with it was 25 mpg. Very fun to drive. A real head turner.Aug 07, 2009

The 1995 Ford Mustang is an incredibly made car. It
was the last Mustang GT made with a 5.0 Engine and
for my taste, the last beautiful mustang made. This is
one of the funnest rides i have ever driven as it
doesn't have any type of assists and is pure energy.Jun 30, 2009

Im looking to get one of my own. My dad has one now
and i absolutely love driving it. Theres a few mods
down to it now and its pushing out 350 horses with
the 5.0HO. She basically drives herself and the 5
speed is a dream to use, you cant screw up. The one
down side is the price of tires, almost 2k for a set.
Overall its one of my favorite stangs.Apr 26, 2009

-Performance: the acceleration is ok when you get past about 20mph the car becomes pritty quick with a 3.8L motor, braking is good, with the low-pros it hugs the curves vary well
-build Quality: since i have owned it i have only put in new rear shocks and the usual ball joints.
-appearance: the pain is a beautiful red,nice and shiny! and you can tell by just looking at the pic. On the inside i painted the trim and center consol red insted of being all black and it really made it look good.
-Cost of ownership: the gas mailage is pritty good to me considering the gas hog i had befor was a 351 windsor bronco with 12-13 MPG. i think im getting aroung 20MPG witht he stang. the only maintenance is the oil changes, washing the car, and recharging the K&N air filter
-Fun factor: Vary fun! looks and drive awsome!Mar 17, 2009

What more can I say? This car is a continuance of an American Legend. Although it isn't really muscular anymore it's still FUN to drive and overall is a very well built well performing car. The only drawbacks are the gas mileage and if you smoke you're going to get dripped on when it's raining because of how the car is shaped... no stopping it unfortunately. It also sucks in the snow!!! I think most of us already knew that though! The Convertibles handle very well probably because of the extra supports all over the car. Mar 13, 2009

Well its not the greatest mustang but its good, the acc. is decent, needs a new clutch, the handling is great has 185 tires in the back and 175 in front, cold air intake 70 mm throtle body trick flow intake, headers
the body is decent, has some scratches on it interior is decent, and this car is just plain fun to drive around...Dec 22, 2008

its a mustang thats all i have to say!! it has great performance!! the built quality is the best!! i love the appearance!! it gets anywhere from 25 to 30 miles/gal. i have only had to take it in to have the oil changed. the car is REALLY fun to drive!!Aug 13, 2008

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car. It has killer looks, performance is good for the age, handling leaves something to be desired but she runs strong. Wish it was a little faster, but there is definite torque from the 5.0L and the exhaust note is KILLER once you open it up a bit! *wink wink*
Gas mileage is decent, I average about 24 highway and city is about 16.
The car is hot. It gets compliments EVERYWHERE it goes. Would I recommend it? YES! With modifications, it could be one of the funnest cars you've ever driven. Jul 29, 2008

Lovin the power. 250 horsepower...bone stock i got the car for 2000...and ever since ive put in at least 1000 dollars and the car has been the best ever since. It's a stick shift..which is more fun..expectally with a v8. The burnouts are awesome...and the sound is deep...with a roar.Jul 27, 2008

Great car. Has some rattles and squweaks but nothing major. The aftermarket is huge for these cars, so modifying them to go even faster is easy. I think it is the best of both worlds, in Mustang terms. You get the 5.0L V8 engine from the fox body cars, but the better looking, in my opinion, styling of the SN-95 chassis.Apr 23, 2008

The interior is gorgeous and comfortable, the exterior is sleek and not too plastic looking,
the 5.0 is strong and has good street manors, and the only thing I don't like are those
hideous stock wheels...Apr 06, 2008

i took a 95 mustang gt with a 5.0 liter motor and added a vortech supercharger to it with
a flowmaster exhaust and many more. inside i did my bucket seats two tone black and
tan to match the dashboard. i have a flip out monitor in my dash with two 7 inch
monitors in my headrest. custom trunk layout to fit my two 12 inch explode and a 1800
watt legacy amp. i placed some custom 18 inch wheels on the car wrapped in perelli's. i
have a backup camera in my rear bumper and i also have back up sensors on my trunk lid
so when i reverse. custom tint, smoke cobra tailights, clear front and corner lenses, neons
through out my car and out, custom m3 side mirrors with led turn signals, rear spoiler
and nice paint jobJan 13, 2008

it would be nice to have the V8. but if you cant afford the insurance or gas and want a fun little car to rip around town with a V6 stang perfect. having RWD is alot of fun and they are super easy to modifly. lots of parts available and its not to expensive for basic mods.Jan 11, 2008

I love the looks, the ride, the whole package that Ford brings to the table. Nothing compares to the performance and style of a Ford Mustang. It doesn't matter whether it is the 1967 Shelby GT 500, 1995 STD Coupe, or the newest off the assembly line, Ford has outdone themselves.Jun 20, 2007

I love my Pony! I have wanted one since I knew what a Mustang was. I finally got mine a little over 2 years ago. My hubby is not a big Ford fan, or should I say he wasn't. He loves it too. He always wants to drive it. My daughter is 7 years old and she always wants to take mommy's car when we go somewhere. Not the best on gas, but I love it. It seems to draw attention, people are always trying to race me when I go to town, but I am not dogging out my car for anyone! I know what it is capable of and that is all that matters....wouldn't want to hurt their ego by dusting them now would I? My hubby has added several things to my car to "boost" the power. I think it is cool you can do so much to it too give it more of a boost. I never liked standard vehicles, I always preferred automatic, but I love this one! I sure learned to drive it fast.
