Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Mustang?
1. Great looks (I have the California Special).
2. Great Power, it is super quick (it weights about 300 lbs less than my old 2003 Mach1).
3. Beautiful interior with great seats (I am 6 ft 4 in).
4. Sound system is superior.
5. I am averaging 21 mpg city and have hit 30 mpg highway at 65 mph steady.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Mustang?
1. Tilt steering wheel release is hard to access when I am sitting behind the wheel (put it back on the steering column).
2. No interior trunk release (have to use the key fob which is not active when car is running).
3. No outside temp thermometer.
4. No compass.
5. Not enough excuses for the wife as to why I need to go someplace.

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
I have been extemely pleased with my new Mustang. I now have 2800 miles on it and it has performed flawlessly. It is leaps and bounds ahead of my 2003 Mach1 that I sold to purchase this one. The weight distribution difference is very apparent. The handling is superior in every way. I have also been pleasantly suprised by the interior noise level and the sold feel of the car in general. Overall quality appears to be much improved, especially fit & finish and paint. The interior quality mirrors the exterior. I am a 67 year old retired male.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Mustang?
The exterior is the best part of the car, but it needs more standard equipment accents.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Mustang?
Redesign the whole interior, it is cheap plastic and has a very drab design. The cup holders are usless in the 5 speed version. Interior has no flare at all. The car does not handle good at high speed, hard to keep the back end on the road. It bounces off the road on every bump. My 2008 GT rides terrible, its like driving a dump truck with concrete wheels. Engine is very sluggish on the response (loose the electronic throttle control).

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
Mustang GT is the bottom end muscle car. Consider the Chevy Camaro, better looking more powerful. Also the dodge Challenger has a higher rating for speed, looks and performance.

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
I love my car overall, however, I have had it in the shop 3 times. Left speaker vibration, noisy clutch, and most recently, loud trow out bearing noise. Speaker was fixed, but clutch noise and throw out bearing noise are acknowledged by Ford, but, they will not fix them. That is a shame!!!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Mustang?

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
I am very happy with my mustang. I have the bullitt option and now have almost 15000 miles on it with no problems at all, it is my daily driver. It handles great, and feels very solid, like it is made out of one piece of metal. The engine is GREAT, has all power I could want and the sound is out of this world. I have read that many people are unhappy with the interior, but I think it is perfect, very comfortable and everything is right were I want it. To me, mustangs are not fancy sports cars to hide in the garage, but tough, fast, fun cars that get driven a lot, and mine fits that description exactly.

Some way to incorporate cup holders for passengers in the rear.

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
I've always been a FORD person, and fell in love with the Mustang back in 1965. The 2008 V6 Coupe that I own is just what the doctor ordered. With the rack and pinion steering, it hanldes like a baby carriage. Not only does it have great power right off the truck, I think gas mileage folks need to re-evaluate the V6...the sticker shows an average of 17 City/26 Hwy. Mine right from the dealer, depending on my driving, can average 20-22 in the city, and at least 30 on the highway. This is fact, based on a trip to Maryland a few months ago.
The Mustangs of today seem to be very soild cars...not only economical, but deserving of the right to be truly called a muscle car.

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
i love the car overall, but i have a few noises that should nt be there like a rattle in the dash, and clattering valves, that ford say they know about, and that the engineers are working on it, a clanking sound in the rear end, and what sounds like throw out bearing noise, vibration in the left speaker. i took the vehicle to the dealership and they have some excuse for the noise, and did'nt fix the problems....im realy quite annoyed. if i could get the problems fixed, i would really enjoy the car. as it is, if they don't fix my problems, i probably will look to another car company for my, next vehicle.

2008 Ford Mustang Review:
The Mustang just keeps getting better and better. The looks, performance to match anyone's needs, and extremely well built top safety rating blows everyone all others off the map. Specialty built models increase visibility and attention. GM & Chrysler have missed the boat and have a lot of catching up to do!
