I have owned a 2001 Ford Mustang for 12 years. It was used when I bought it and has held up incredibly well. I have had to do very few repairs in all the time I've owned it. It has a very sleek body shape and runs quietly. The inside is rather small. It is a two door and is moderately uncomfortable for the guests who ride in the back. The back seats fold down to make the trunk larger which has been incredibly helpful on several occasions. I would absolutely repurchase another of the same vehicle in a newer year/model.

Overall, the 1999-04 Mustang GT is an excellent affordable performance car. My vehicle is bright red, has a leather interior, and is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. I have put almost 50,000 miles on it since I bought it, and it has never stranded me. The only maintenance I have done besides the usual tires, oil, and brakes have been the clutch and rear axle (a well known issue). It has more power than you need for every day driving and has an excellent deep throaty exhaust note without modifications. Gas mileage is pretty decent for V8 engine. I average 18 MPG with city driving, and have gotten as high as 27 MPG at 75 MPH highway cruising.
