2002 Ford Mustang Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car had pretty decent horsepower from the factory. Although the power on mine has been upped by a supercharger. It handles pretty well with the factory suspension. The factory Mach audio is one of the best stock systems out there. Gas mileage is decent from the factory, if you know how to drive you should be able to get 24-25mpg. Overall this car is awesome quality with great performance and reliability.

The Mustang is the quintessential American muscle car and it was an absolute thrill to pull up to and away from a traffic light and hear those eight cylinders roar. The disappointment was the quality of the interior and the necessity for repairs. I only kept it for a little over a year, but there are many days when I'd like to have it back.

This is a great car to start with and make your own mods to. You can get as much power or more with the V-6 than the V-8 and pay alot less on insurance. Has great power and handles like a dream. Great for drifting or for straight up racing. Too easy to get performance upgrades and parts online or thru companies like BBK, MAC, Borla, etc. I would rather have my v6 than an 8 any day.

Love it, sounds great and runs amazing. Best car I’ve ever bought.

Great car. Have owned 2 of them. Loved them. Take care of the small things and the car lasts a long time.

performance is great, handling is really good. it only had a minor repair to the hood latch assembly, along with needing a replacement stereo system, since the CD player doesn't work anymore. I do really good on gas, it takes about $28 to fill my car with Premium gas. My car is really fun to drive and i wouldn't trade it for anything. This was a great first car for me.

Love the speed, love the sound, love the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair. Great styling, great true blue metallic paint, great stereo. There is nothing like being slammed back into your seat when you floor the accelerator. What can I say, I'm a muscle car kinda gal.

Well start with exterior: Silver with custom side exhaust, 5 spoke rims, and a body kit. It's a V6 so there's still room for some improvement. It also has a custom roll bar with brake light and a nice hood scoop. Interior: All grey leather with Mustang Pony embrourdered, 6 disk CD changer built in with Mach sound system, total of 8 speakers. Two toned dash and stering wheel and only 50,000 miles.

A performance bargain, and the only muscle car that has endured for more than 45 years. I purchased this car in late August 2009 with 5,298 miles on the odometer. Positives: Styling, acceleration, braking, handling (to an extent), V-8 rumble Negatives: Chassis dates back to 1979, solid rear axle, hops over bumps, interior fit and finish leaves something to be desired

The 2v v8 packs some grunt, and makes all the right noises. The brakes need to be beefier to handle real spirited driving. The build quality is not that bad, it feels right and rides quite. The appearance is good stock, looks better after doing some mods to it.

This car rocks! Bought it at 39,000 miles and have loved it ever since. :)

love this car, joy to drive and build, fun to drive in the mountains and a blast to take to the track or the drag strip. easy to mod and plenty of parts to get for this car to customize in your own and unique way.

I bought a black 2002 V6 Mustang. I had bought a new 2008 Dodge Avenger since I had good luck with a 89 Dodge Daytona for 16 years. The first new car I ever bought and it was worst. AFTER OVER $3,000 dollars in repairs and two fires that was it. I said I'm going backwards, No more new cars. My Mustang is much more better built inside and out. If people don't like the interior they outta look at a 2008 Dodge Avenger. Lol The Mustang seems to be easy to change things out. The oil pan is the only thing I see as a pain. I hadn't had to change it. The motor has to be lifted to change the gasket. Besides that I love the car. Remember, You are buying an older car. That doesn't mean that's bad. Find out what was already done if you can. The rear engine seals do leak and people do have trouble with the sending unit. Mine was replaced and I calibrated the gauge myself and now it's better keeping track of gas. As for going up hills, I have no idea why some people said on here no power uphill. That's one thing I appreciate, Because my 2008 Avenger was terrible going uphill. This flies uphill. One more thing, People reading these reviews are not reading about the car being new. These cars have probably been through two or three owners. Remember some people that bought the car used and it's already 10 or more years old do not know if it's been abused,etc. So they give bad ratings. I was fortunate to buy from a second owner and it had been garaged in the winter and had all receipts for work done. ALWAYS check Carfax. I think you can run the VIN number through a Ford dealership and see what has been done IF they even used a dealership. UPDATE: 1 year later : I still love the car. No problems.

Extremely fast car and way to much fun which cause me to sell it before I got into trouble. The style was very sporty and thrilling. I did not have any issues with this car and for a V8 the gas mileage wasn't to bad.

The 1999-2004 Mustang GT "New Edge" body-style of the SN-95 that still sits on the old fox body platform is my absolute favorite Mustang that Ford produced. The 2v 4.6L V8 producing 260 bhp and 302 ft-lbs of torque in stock form sounds like an absolute beast. Mine is attatched to an off-road x-pipe with 4" magnaflow tips at the end so its got a really great, deep burble. Performance is great except I'd like just little bit more power (who wouldn't) from the 4.6. Build quality is amazing. Mine has just under a century in miles and honestly, the car will run another 200k. Cost of ownership is nice and low and I'll tell you what, even if it was high, I'd pay it because rolling down the road in this gorgeous piece of machinary with the rumble of that V8 under your right foot is worth every penny.

Performance - Brakes and handling could be a little bit better but that is what makes this car fun to drive. For acceleration let me just say this... Torque>Horsepower. Build Quality - This car has proved to be reliable so far. Appearance - The outside looks aggressive and is one the main reason I bought this year of Stang. Inside is bland though but does have more space than my Stealth. Cost of Ownership - Gas mileage averages around 20, but I also have a 4.10 in the rear and I baby it a lot. Parts are cheap compared to my Stealth and have not had any problems with it yet. Fun Factor - Is this car fun to drive? Ummm.... YEAH!!!!

LOVE THIS CAR! Not to pleased with the fact that Ford only squeezed 270 out of a 4.6L, but that's where we tuners get to play right? She's good off the start, and keeps hauling until 5th. Haven't had to many problems, only replaced brakes and turned rotors. Had an electrical issue, but cleaning the contacts and buying one of those anti oxidation kits fixed that up right quick. She looks good, would like to put new paint, and definitely need to replace the headlights. She drinks gas, so if your an eco kind of person, not for you. Eats tires too if you give her the throttle pretty hard, but be gentle, and you can keep a pair of rears on pretty long. So far, this stang has a K&N CAI, and the exhaust has been replaced, but I don't much about it other than it has a H pipe, resonators and such that aren't stock. Next on the list is an Edelbrock throttle body, some headers, and finally a tune once she's decked out....until I find a twin screw for her!

I like that its underestimated and that i have a 100 shot of nitrous on it !!! I like that the aftermarket is huge for it and I want to spend lots of money on it!!! Still think its a great looking car and it still turns heads too!

The Car rides really well, but the stereo deck sucks. The engine is lasting a long time, I can't be more happier with its performance. The leather interior is beautiful. and the Mach 1000 speaker system is bomb.

It was a standard 3.8L. It was a very reliable car. I think it was a good car to be my first 5 speed.

The interior is nice, leather bucket seats, 6 disc CD changer, the dash layout is pretty good. The acceleration is nice, but the brakes could be better. I don't like that the hood is plastic and that the hood scoop serves no real purpose. Also, the plastic covering the headlights tends to cloud up with age (I have seen this on plenty of other cars, not just mine). Overall, I'm quite happy with the car.

Drives very well for a large two-door sports car. Great acceleration for a V6. Makes around 25MPG!

I got this car at the end of last summer and it's amazing. Cabin cools quickly, rear 50/50 seats allow for plenty of storage, leg room is good in front. The car handles very well with relatively tight steering. Sound system is good and it came with a factory installed CD player (I put in an aftermarket one for my iPod), the tinted glass is great and allows for plenty of privacy.

This car is one of the best finds for it's price. It comes with 262 horsepower, and you can expect to pay no more than $15-16,000...from a dealership. If you buy private party this beauty shouldn't be more than $14,000. I don't love this car for it's power alone, its sleek body style is much more aggressive than its more recent predecessors. The interior is also beyond anything I would expect in a car under 20 grand.

This mustang gt is really fun to drive! The maintenance is pretty easy, things are easy to fix on your own and are relatively cheap if not able to fix by self. Has a cold air intake and U/D pullies.

Amazing acceleration, decent brakes, and great handling. This is my second mustang and I love it! I had a '97 Camaro and a '02 Z28 Camaro and neither came close to my GT's performance. Gas mileage (city) is not great, but highway is okay. Black leather interior is nice.

I love my car, it has great pick up, and speed, too bad I don't live where there is no speed limit restrictions, cuz I would love to open her for the real test. There isn't much that I can say neg. about it. The only thing is it sucks in the snow.

This car was amazing. With only a limited amount of aftermarket accessories this cars performance increased like no one would ever think. A little over a thousand bucks and this car was beating Camaros and the occasional Corvette. I loved this car!!!

The base model Mustang's 193hp V6 was horribly weak. It couldn't beat most 4 cylinder's on the streets. However, mine had several desirable features, such as a true dual exhaust, cold air intake, nice tint, and several other mods. It gave it a great sound and look. However, It was not practical to have with a baby. So it went bye bye ...

I've always wanted one of these, and I finally got one.. It's fast, sounds like a beast, and I couldn't be happier!

The perfect first car for anyone looking for reliable transportation .Any vehicle with the famous Mustang symbol has to be good having lasted so many years in Fords lineup.

I love Mustangs , I previously owned a 99 V6 Base and never had a problem with the car so that is why , when I saw this one , I fell in love with the car ... American muscle wheels & tires , manual , power windows , power seats , smoke healights , leather seats , 20% tinted windows , somoke tail lights

wonderful car a real pleasure to drive kinda cramped with four people in it two kids and two adults but very reliable looks great and a very big after market parts car the tops rattle on the convertables alot but thats just a con of all convertables

Performance - it takes off pretty fast for near stock. brakes work great Build Quality - it has a rattle to it gonna fix that Appearance - looks amazing for the year Cost of Ownership - just like any horse it likes to drink Fun Factor - very fast fun to put the top down and just drive

car is awsome, just needs more power to be with the sn197, brakes do suck, mach system isnt upgradable. Mustang been around for a long time and the only surviving muscle car without a break in manufacturing. Mustang is always a top pick

I have a true Saleen S-281 (non-supercharged). It's Fast, reliable, and actually better on gas than my subaru.

I luv any Mustang...they are sleek and let still unique in their curves!They scream old school muscle and adapted well with changes over the decades (most cars now a days look basically the same).

Purchased new never seen snow only twice been in the rain. Recently installed cold air pack inceasing HP by 15 HP. In storage every year Rust checked every 2 years, little hard on gas but it is a muscle car, great stereo system mach 1000

Great car, turned it into my racecar. If I had driven a BMW prior to that, I might have built a bimmer. The mustang has the straight way power even with the 4.6 over the bimmer's 3.0. everthing else is hands down to the BMW.

I absolutely loved our 2002 Mustang V6 convertible, which we owned until February 2008 when we needed to get another 4-door car. Although it looks like a V6 Premium, this car was custom-ordered as a deluxe (in order to get the 5-speed tranny) with white top and white leather interior. The dealer added the rear spoiler, and I added the rocker panel stripes. The only thing missing from the premium package are the fog lights.
