2000 Ford mustang convertible.
This mustang is very reliable. It may not be the nicest but it will get you where you need to go. It is good for a little car. It is sure to catch looks with the matte black and red stripe. Kids will think it is cool. Because no one said cool minivan. Good.

Enjoyed to drive. Pretty and easily accessible to back seat.
Cheap on gas, air works good and fast acceleration on taking off so you do not get hit. Standard transmission. Small and beautiful colored.

Engine should be monitored and maintained. Oil/coolant should be checked often.
This car is fairly old so it has problems expected from the age. Things such as high mileage and faded paint are common on this year of mustang. As far as the engine, it is reliable so long as it is maintained properly. The seats are decent but again depend on the care they have received.

It is my baby. I love her. Don't knock her or tell me what to do with her.
I love that my car is an extension of me. I've had her for years and she has been reliable. She is also fun and zippy. She makes me happy and I love her.

Ford mustang older model issues.
Love the mustang but have repeated problems with the computer sensors. Check engine light stays on and battery is constantly going dead. It is currently not running due to dead battery and bad brakes. But it looks great! When properly functioning, its an excellent car. No money at the moment for repairs.

It is comfortable to drive.
I just love the mustang, how it drives, how it looks and the seats. It has great power and is great on the highways.

One interesting detail about my car would be the manual transmission.
The 2007 mustang is one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever driven. The performance and looks makes this car desirable for any car enthusiast. No matter if you have the v6 or v8 version, you can endless amounts of fun.

It is not dependable. Always getting pulled over. Parts are expensive.
Very uncomfortable. Feel every bump in road. Always having electrical problems. Uses oil. Leaks water in windshield. Replace tires often. Parts are expensive.

2000 Ford Mustang coupe back automatic.
I drive a Mustang coupe, it's black and has dark tinted windows, it's an automatic which is something I am not used to because I like five speed usually, but I do enjoy driving it because of the way the engine sounds, it's awesome, it has black leather seats and I installed speakers and amps, it has air and heat and I keep it clean.

Tolerable when it works. Don't buy
Everytime I fix one issue another shows up, never ending cycle. Can't drive it in the winter, just had to get a new battery. Just frustrating
accountCircle Robert T
Reliable, but not a winter car.
Very bad in inclement weather. Hard to control on snow and ice. Very reliable mechanically. I have never had any problems with the motor or body, but I did have a window regulator go bad. I put 150, 000 miles on it, so it is reliable. I wish it handled better in bad weather, though.
accountCircle Timothy S
Everything breaks down on this vehicle. It has low mileage, I stay on top of maintenance, I'm a careful driver. Yet everything breaks. I've put $8,000 of service into it since I bought it for less than that 3 years ago.
It may look flashy and can drive fast, but it's a hazard on the road.
accountCircle Melissa D
Not a big fan of Mustangs.
The car is too small and the seat sit to low and sits back too far. The performance is pretty good though for a v6 it does not pick up quick but it does the job. If you keep up on the care then you do not have any major issues which is good. It does lack a lot of cool features that are in newer cars.
accountCircle Danielle S
It has great trunk space.
I like that I own my car. I dislike that it needs some work beyond what's worth. I dislike that it is small.
accountCircle Dudley E
Ford mustang the car that you would love to hate
The vehicle is great as far as power and aesthetics however internally the engine over years really quickly and causes other issues

Likes of a 2000 Ford mustang.
I honestly like my 2000 Ford mustang it's a nice smooth ride I have yet to have any major problems with it I have over 150, 000 miles. Best this is that it's very simple to find parts for the car and engine has easy access to fix parts. I would advise for people to buy this kind of vehicle but keep in mind it's not a family car it's more of a hit the road have fun enjoy a nice smooth ride. For 1 or 2 people.

2000 Ford Mustang 3.8 coupe
My Mustang is a few years old now. But it is still reliable and runs good for it's age. I have done some modifications to it such as a cold air intake, GT cat back exhaust. And I also built a custom rear diffuser. The car is silver with a 3'8 liter V6 engine in it.

Isabella G.
My Ford Mustang is a very reliable vehicle to drive locally or on a long road trip doing the children summer vacations.
Peggy R.
Yes, it's a very good car, but way too small for my family of 4. I like the color and smooth sound. Still not really enough leg or car seat room for my kids.
Billy S.
It is an okay car, has been breaking down on me lately but I still like it. But I do want a different car soon

How Reliable Is The 2000 Ford Mustang?

Just the usual that comes with normal wear & tear. I have 210,000 miles. Only drawback is rear wheel drive in the winter.
Agnieszka S.
The only physical problems I experienced with my Ford Mustang doing a road trip to my destination is a flat tire due to debris on the highway.
Chriss K.
The gas mileage isn't all that great at all. I get very little off $20 I put in. I've had a few problems that I've had resolved, but all and all pretty simple.
Angela G.
Yes the stick shift went out, I had to replace that & the thermostat. But otherwise the car is okay.

Is The 2000 Ford Mustang A Good Value?

I got it used over 10 years ago for about 5000$ and only just recently gave started getting things repaired. I get frequent oil changes, brakes Have new tires. I drive A LOT
Jasmine A.
My Ford Mustang was below the retail price being that I bought it new used; to me at the time my Ford Mustang was a very good investment.
Linda P.
I'm not sure how much a new Ford Mustang costs, but I only paid $2000, which isn't that bad at all. A new Mustang, as far as I know, is a little pricey for me.
Brian T.
I do not feel that it is good value due to the issues that I have been having to fix. But it probably use to be good
