2008 Ford Mustang Review: Dependable Year For The Comfortable & Powerful Muscle Car

Jul 26, 2022

The 2008 Ford Mustang lasts around 200,000 miles with only some paint and interior issues. At $5,989 to $9,452, it’s a great choice for shoppers looking for an affordable sports car.

The Good

The V8 engines offer excellent power, the driving position is comfortable and ergonomic and the exterior styling is great.

The Bad

The back seats are extremely small, stability control is not offered on the car and there’s a lot of road noise.

Is the 2008 Ford Mustang a Good Used Car?

Yes, 2008 is a good year for the Mustang. Owner reviews enjoy the performance, stereo system, and fun driving experience.
Interior quality is poor on entry-level models, but the higher-end models come with much better seats and trim. The infotainment technology is outdated for its age.
Reliability ratings are above average for a sports car. We recommend avoiding models from 2005–2006 which have a lot of mechanical problems.
Performance is average from the V6, but the larger V8 options offer excellent power.
The Mustang is a safe sports car getting a perfect 5-star overall rating in government crash tests, but it gets a 4-star rating in the rear passenger side barrier tests.
Fuel economy is okay for a performance vehicle, getting up to 20 MPG, and drivers get about 288 miles out of a single tank of gas.

Positive Owner Reviews

Carrie D

That it is personalized for me.. And everyone should know that my car is very important to me.

I like that it's a sports car and that it drives really fast.. The only thing that I dislike about it is that it is a little too small on the inside.

Susie H

My mustang gt. It is a great car and is a beautiful red!

I have had my mustang for 10 years. It is very reliable and I have had no major mechanical issues. I feel very safe driving it. It is definitely built tough! The only thing negative I can say about it is that it is light in the rear end and it does not do well on ice and snow.

Wendi W

I like the wheels and the outside look (design) of the car.

I like the leather interior, wheels, trim on the outside (pony package), Bose stereo system, the handling of the car, sleek look and affordability of the vehicle. The hardtop coupe look is sporty too. The inside material of my doors had to be replaced in 2016 (it was peeling away for the interior of the doors) and the battery does run down quickly (been replaced 5 times) and the thermostat has been replaced three times during my ownership. I am the original owner.

Donna C

Gt 6 speed convertible car.

Absolutely no issues. Convertible 6 speed. V8 love the sound. Makes me feel younger to drive this car.

Jackie E

My amazing 2008 fast mustang

My car is a 2008 mustang. It is fast, the gas lasts longer when its used for constant freeways. It is actually comfortable but definitely not for the people in the backseat.

Robert H

It's loud and I love it. I will drive it until it falls apart.

I love my car. I have no complaints about it.it has a loud v8 engine, manual transmission and has enough room to fit my whole family.

Tiffany T

It's easy to drive.easy on gas,good for travel, easy to get to point a to point B

Great performance, great on gas,compact, negativity are not good for car seats,only holds 4.great on gas,not a family car.

Caleb H

It is amazing and completely reliable.

My vehicle is a yellow Ford mustang, it is very fast, reliable, comfortable and efficient. I love my car.

Negative Owner Reviews

Matthew R

It has many technical problems.

My car has had many car problems. I like how it looks though. I also like that it is a safe car. I do not like how it only has two doors.

Ava T

America's muscle car is made very cheap

I got my car 8 years ago and everything was fine till it hit over 75,000 miles. I've had to replace parts in the engine, the front end I don't know how many times just because the peace's are made cheap, I've had to replace my muffler 3 times in the past 2 years BC it rattles. The leather inside on my door has fallen off.

Taylor T

Mustangs have zero space for anything.

The exhaust is a pain in the butt, super small trunk space, gas guzzler, backseats cannot really fit any adults at all. One of my biggest car features I look for is leg room and this has next to none. Next is gas mileage and this will take all your money spending $50 a tank just to get maybe 15 a mile on a good week. The only good thing is the steering is decent and has held together pretty decently.

Emily K

Poor quality interior is placed on the doors, it comes off very easily.

I dislike the interior, gas mileage and difficulty of getting in and out of this vehicle. I do like the color and turn radius of the car.

Elisabeth C

Sleek look, good performance, reliable car.

This has been a reliable car with normal repairs. I like the look of the car. What I do not like is the lack of passenger space in the back seat. My mustang is a convertible which I love but I really do not put the convertible down as often as I thought I would.

Emily K

It's very economic in gas and good mileage on the highway.

I like that it is easy to drive, the color and has a good turn radius. Things I dislike about the car are gas mileage and the interior is poor quality. I also dislike that you cannot carry much in it and the back seat is so small.

Amber B

My red mustang was AMAZING at 17! Now I'm 27, and it's time for a new vehicle...

I loved my car when I first got it! And I still do to a degree. Unfortunately, the material used for the seats is extremely poor quality. Even plain water leaves horrible stains. Overall, the seats aren't very comfortable. Also, over time I have encountered a lot of problems with the vehicle. Every time I turn my wheel now, my mustang makes a horrible loud grinding sound but no one can tell me what it is! Air bags are under a recall. But despite all of those problems, I will never forget how awesome it was to get a mustang as my first car. It's old now, but I will always have a soft spot in my fear for my first car!

Meagan R

Looks good and comfortable but front end problems.

Love my car, it is comfortable and good on gas, also obsessed with the color of it (navy blue). Only thing I do not like is it has a few problems and I have noticed other people with the same car do as well. There is a rattle in the front cannot figure out where it is coming from, I need new actuator, and there is a popping noise from the tires.

What Do Critics Say About the Mustang?

Consumer Reports says the Mustang offers great performance, with high owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the 2008 Mustang a 4.6/5, praising the powerful V8 engines, but Edmunds doesn’t like the soft seats.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Mustang 4.7/5 enjoying the refined driving experience, but owners dislike the lack of practicality and space.

What Common Problems Does the 2008 Ford Mustang Have?

Common problems found on the 2008 Ford Mustang include paint defects, a failed harmonic balancer on the engine, and door panel trim peeling off. Overall, these problems are not very serious for a car that offers the level of performance that the Mustang does.

Paint defects, including bubbling paint, are the most common complaints from owners at around 45,000 miles. The only way to fix the problem is to repaint the affected areas, at about $1,000 per panel.

A worn out harmonic balancer on the engine is another issue reported by owners at around 70,000 miles. The parts simply wear out quickly compared to other vehicles, and it has to be replaced with a new one which costs about $350.

Leather door trim peeling off is another problem that shows up on some Mustang models at around 60,000 miles. Having the leather replaced costs about $650 per door panel, or having it repaired is around $200 per panel.

There are 9 recalls, which is more than some of the competitors from 2008. The most serious recall is for the headlamps, which can increase the risk of an accident at night.

How Long Will the 2008 Ford Mustang Last?

A properly maintained 2008 Mustang should be able to last over 200,000 miles, which is almost twice as long as other muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger. Regular annual maintenance costs are reasonable for a performance car, at $544 per year, according to Repair Pal.

Since most 2008 Mustangs have over 100,000 miles owners should be prepared to replace items including the A/C drier for $250, throttle body costing $380, and the voltage regulator which costs $180.

Kristi S

Yes, mine has always been very reliable. And it has never had any major problems. Just the usual wear of daily driving.

Terrance P

It has a few problems. It burns gas pretty fast and I have been stuck a few Times. But through it all I still love my car.

Monique B

Very reliable I have not had any major problems with it. Just the normal brakes tires and things like that.

Felicity P

It is not reliable in the winter, as the engine has a hard time starting at times and tends to hard start. In the summer, things run much smoother and there are not as many issues.

Jackson H

It's pretty reliable. I have not had any outstanding issues with it. My only complaint is the low gas mileage.

Denise J

It is reliable, but as of right now the air conditioning on the Ford Mustang does not work. It is not a great situation.

Deb T

It is very reliable. I have had only one major problem in the 10 years I have owned it. But I have taken care of it.

How Much Is the 2008 Ford Mustang Worth?

Blue book values range from $5,989 to $9,452, making the Mustang thousands less than other sports cars like the Chevy Corvette and Honda S2000. When new, the price range was $19,650 to $32,245. Depreciation is similar to other cars, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Mustang?

There are five models of the 2008 Mustang available. The Mustang was last updated in 2005, there was a major redesign in 2010, and a new generation introduced in 2015.

Deluxe is the entry-level model and has:

What Engines Come In the Mustang?

The base engine is an average 4.0L V6 which makes 210 horsepower and gets up to 20 MPG combined. Performance is average, taking 6.7 seconds to reach 60 MPH.
A step up is the stronger 4.6L V8 which produces 300 horsepower and gets up to 18 MPG combined. Performance is good, taking 5.3 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.
The flagship engine is the very powerful 5.4L V8 which makes up to 500 horsepower and gets 16 MPG combined. Performance is great, taking only 4.4 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Mustang Come In?

How Big Is the Mustang?

The 2008 Ford Mustang is an average 2-door sports car offered as a coupe or convertible, and similar in size to the Dodge Challenger or Chevy Corvette. Passenger room is good in the front seats, but the back seats are laughably small with very limited legroom.

Cargo space is okay for a sports car with 13.1 cubic feet of room in the trunk of the coupe and 9.7 in the convertible. That’s enough room to fit 2-3 suitcases in either.

How Does the Mustang Compare to the Competition?

The Dodge Challenger is a competitor offered in the same price range. Performance is better in the entry-level Dodge Challenger models, but the Ford Mustang’s handling is more secure on twisty roads. We recommend the Ford Mustang since they last longer and have fewer mechanical issues.

The BMW 335i is another rival which costs about $3,000 more. Interior materials and technology are both better in the BMW 335i, but the Ford Mustang’s V8 offers more power for the money. We recommend the Ford Mustang since it’s more affordable to own, but both are great sports cars.

Do Owners Recommend the Ford Mustang?

Kristi S

Yes, mine has been very dependable and we've never had any major problems or had to make any major replacements.

Terrance P

Yes it is good because I love it and it rides so smooth. I love speeding down the highway and blasting music from my great system.

Monique B

Yes good gas mileage few repairs but as you get older difficult to get in and out. Not great in the snow.

Felicity P

It is fairly good. I live in a cold climate which has caused a lot of issues with the vehicle. It is not extremely expensive to fix. The gas mileage is not the best, but better than a lot other ones.

Jackson H

I enjoy it. It's a really nice looking car. It's comfortable to drive. I have not had many big issues with it for the 5 years I have owned it.

Abigail H

Yes it is a good vehicle. It has been very dependable so far even with all I have put it through. I would recommend to others.

Stephanie H

Yes but seats are not comfy if you have a bad back. Also you can fit a lot in this sporty vehicle. I always wanted a mustang.

2008 Ford Shelby mustang review.

I have a 2008 Ford Shelby gt500. I have had zero problems out of the vehicle. It is very dependable. The performance from this car is very impressive. The 5. 4 liter supercharged engine is a monster powerhouse putting out 500 horsepower from the factory. The 6 speed transmission is incredible. It is my dream car. Very nice and detailed leather interior which is extremely comfortable. It is an amazing car. I would not recommend for a non experienced driver because it is a very powerful muscle car but it is a blast to drive.

Jackie E on March 2, 2021

My amazing 2008 fast mustang

My car is a 2008 mustang. It is fast, the gas lasts longer when its used for constant freeways. It is actually comfortable but definitely not for the people in the backseat.

Terri T on January 14, 2021

Only two people can ride in it comfortably.It has a 6 cylinder engine

I love the fast pickup and right turn radius.I also love the look of the car.

Terri T on January 14, 2021

Lack of trunk button is inconvenient at times.

I love the design.It needs a trunk access button on the driver side though.It has a lot of nice features. I love the sign for the gas cap compared to just the engine light.

Michael M on January 13, 2021

Greatest vehicle ever made.

Greatest vehicle I have ever owned. Mostly Fords, some Chevys some Kias. Not only is it iconic but runs great with very low maintaining.

Robert D on January 11, 2021

Mustang: fun and practical

Great style and function. Fun car. Back seat is usable for adults. Great trunk space. Fun car. Occasional minor mechanical issues but pretty easy to work on and parts are usually abundant and inexpensive. Radio sounds great and the v6 gets good gas mileage.

Kiara D on January 8, 2021

Dark red. Coupe. Nose on the hood. Black and silver on the inside. Changes gear.

Cruise control. Fast. Looks like it's more up to date then the date it actually is. Heated seats, front and back. Loud speakers. Automatic. Loud pipes. V8. Nice big body to it. Eats gas. 140 on the dash. Comfortable to drive. Leather seats. Nice details on it. Firestone tires. You can let the windows up or down without having to hold it.

Zach W on December 22, 2020

That it's mine!!! I worked to make the payments on it not my parents!!!

I like the way it runs Handles pretty good.. Isn't really made for short tall or fat people to drive.

Martha A on December 8, 2020

Get up and go on an adventure.

My mustang handlers really well on all road conditions. It is very comfortable and fun to drive. Have taken several road trips in it and has been very reliable. I have had no problems with it.

Erica W on November 30, 2020

At the moment that it needs work such as brakes, AC, shocks, oil change, airbag recall, cracked windshield.

I only have 1 complaint, the trunk is not big enough as a mom with 2 small children. Before having a 2nd child the trunk size was fine. I love all other aspects if my mustang. I love the style, color, accessories etc. This is my dream car and although it it 10 years old and needs work I never want to part with it.

Sean C on November 23, 2020

It leaks water inside the car when it rains and can't be fixed without spending a lot of money.

I have owned it for 7 years with only minimal problems. Not a great car when you have small children. Common Mustang problem, the passenger side leaks water

Chantal S on November 22, 2020

One important think others should know the car is that it was very expensive.

I like that the 2008 Ford mustang is very fast. I like the horse power that the 2008 Ford mustang has. I very much dislike like the tires because they are not that well in the winter with the snow and especially the ice.

Meagan R on November 4, 2020

Looks good and comfortable but front end problems.

Julia V on October 18, 2020

Great on gas. A very reliable car Ford all the way for me.

No problems great on gas on is a compact car never had any problems with my Focus. Heats up quickly in the winter cools quickly in the summer. It is a affordable car gas repairs, highway mileage is the best. My car is red stands out easy to find in a big parking area.

tom D on October 6, 2020

Fast and beautiful car and sounds like a beast

It has a water leaking in the cab problem from the engine bay. The car has been extremely reliable for me. And the performance is very good with 300 hp I love v8s.I love that it is a convertible it is very fun to drive on the highways in the summer. Very nice car and fast

Lauren M on October 1, 2020

The most important thing people should know is that the car is excellent with running conditions. If You treat it well, it'll treat you well. Keep up with regular maintenance.

I love my car. It's simple, and is an attention getter by accident. It's super sleek even though it's 10yrs old. Only thing I dislike is that it's not a GT model.

shawn g on October 1, 2020

That it is a great daily driver and for a v8 gets great gas mileage

I like the styling of my vehicle and like the interior. Also that it is a manual and a 8 cylinder with power

Penelope P on September 19, 2020

Sporty and great performance vehicle.

My Ford mustang is reliable, it has exceptional power for steep grades, accelerates quickly. The handling is great as well, handles well in curves.

Janey J on September 9, 2020

Candy apple red mustang is a great color for this car.

Other than interior panel fabric no longer adhering, I love this car and she is still a stunner. She can still win any race.

chris J on September 1, 2020

Ride comfort is not the best, again those locked axles take a beating

I love the acceleration, love the feel of the car. One major complaint is the ride comfort the locked axles make it extra bumpy

Gabby G on August 30, 2020

My first car in high school.

I have been a fan of Ford mustangs since I was in high school. My step father and mother bought me a brand new Ford mustang for my 16th birthday. I have been very pleased with my car and will continue to drive with that make and model.

Tammy F on August 30, 2020

Retro ac/ heat vents nice paint job

It is a gt, runs great no big problems at all. Smooth riding decent on gas. Great stereo cold ac and great heat

Sara L on August 14, 2020

It's cute, reliable and fits my lifestyle and personality.

My son totalled my previous car, drove it without permission with no license and was arrested for drunk driving. So I had to learn to like another car. It is a convertible and I like the relaxation that comes with the wind blowing in face & hair. Reliable, good quality vehicle.

Emily W on August 8, 2020

It is not difficult to drive in rain.

I like how easy it is to drive and the low gas mileage. It is the perfect size. It has not had any problems. I do not dislike anything about it.

Taylor T on August 4, 2020

Mustangs have zero space for anything.

David G on July 24, 2020

Review of mustang very positive.

Mustang convertible v6 very good on gas, beautiful car low maintenance very dependable great for weekend driving insurance very reasonable the convertible top is excellent for living in Florida the color is a steel blue that everyone compliments love it.

Robert H on July 7, 2020

It's loud and I love it. I will drive it until it falls apart.

I love my car. I have no complaints about it.it has a loud v8 engine, manual transmission and has enough room to fit my whole family.

Josie L on June 28, 2020

Very efficient and has a very sleek body structure.

I have owned my vehicle for 8 years and I absolutely love it. I did have to get both of my airbags replaced but it was due to a recall. Other than that I do not have any issues with my car. It is very efficient and gets very good gas mileage. I would definitely recommend mustangs to someone looking for an efficient vehicle.

Caleb H on June 21, 2020

It is amazing and completely reliable.

My vehicle is a yellow Ford mustang, it is very fast, reliable, comfortable and efficient. I love my car.

Christopher L on June 21, 2020

I love to drive my Ford Mustang gt. It is a lot of fun to drive.

Love it, drives great. It is very comfortable. Sometimes it seems a little expensive to repair, but other times, it seems pretty cheap. I wish it had Bluetooth , but in 2008, it wasn’t a standard feature. The trunk is larger than it looks, it can hold a lot of stuff. Gas mileage is surprisingly good, considering that it is a v8.

Amber B on June 21, 2020

My red mustang was AMAZING at 17! Now I'm 27, and it's time for a new vehicle...

Matthew R on May 17, 2020

It has many technical problems.

My car has had many car problems. I like how it looks though. I also like that it is a safe car. I do not like how it only has two doors.

Zackary B on April 11, 2020

Cheap to work on and reliable had my last one to well over 250000 miles and still never had problems

Always reliable, runs great, makes you feel cool when you drive it, never has any problems. For sure a street car, slips in snow or semi heavy rain unless I guess you had some really good snow tires

Carrie D on April 4, 2020

That it is personalized for me.. And everyone should know that my car is very important to me.

I like that it's a sports car and that it drives really fast.. The only thing that I dislike about it is that it is a little too small on the inside.

Denise L on March 21, 2020

The truck is small and awkward to access.

I love my car. It is fun to drive. I've had no major issues with it, however I have had small problems. For example, the leather panel on the driver side door came off.

Kelly H on March 15, 2020

It's an awesome , fun car to drive and hardly no replacing parts

I love my mustang. It has a great sound system. Drives well. And is a convertible. It has a Lot of pick up and go and handles well. It is fun to drive. We just replaced tires and serpentine belt but everything else still working fine. I would recommend buying a mustang

Kal B on March 12, 2020

Mustangs are really great cars!

I have not had any problems with my mustang. The car performance is pretty near perfect. The mustang is very reliable. It is probably the most comfortable car I have ever had. It has pretty standard features for the year, nothing too special. My mustang is red and the factory paint has lasted the entire time. All around good car.

Tasha J on March 11, 2020

V8 Red Convertible Mustang

I have a red mustang with a convertible top..it has leather seats..it runs really well..only issues I have had since I have bought it have been to fix the air conditioning in it and the alternator.

Dee S on March 1, 2020

Super Fun and Reliable Vehicle

I have had no problems with my 2008 Ford Mustang Convertible other than regular maintenance new battery, tires, wiper blades, oil changes and starter it has been a great super fun vehicle.

Tammy T on February 29, 2020

It's fun to drive and has been a good car, both for short and long distances.

Very low maintenance, performs well, love the style and color. Only complaint is it's noisy inside.

Jason S on February 26, 2020

It handles very well. Not much negative feedback. Great on gas. Very reliable for both on and off the road.

It has Small back seat space and outstanding on gas.

Renee A on December 21, 2019

Great power and performance in a small package.

It is great! Great performance. Major power. Quick pickup. Can do major burn outs. Both parents and one sister has owned Mustangs. Fun to drive. Nice to look at. Great stereo. Nice design. It’s an American muscle car. Soft leather. Great add on packages. Great sound. A lot of power.

James R on December 16, 2019

It is a reliable car with low maintenance. The gas mileage is about 20 miles per gallon.

I love the speed of my mustang. It has been very reliable and I had it since 2011. I only had to replace tires and the battery.

Corey J on December 6, 2019

That this car is dependable, it is pretty good on gas.

I like the overall feel of the car. I replaced the sound system that came with it.

Karen B on December 1, 2019

Reliable, comfortable, easy to drive transportation.

My Ford focus has not had any major issues. I get the oil changed regularly and all systems checked at the same time.

Troy Vine J on November 26, 2019

It has high horsepower for a low price.

I mainly like the design of my vehicle. To me the 05-09 mustang are some of the best looking models. It is also easy to work on.

Mary D on November 14, 2019

Still in love with this car.

I love this car, but I know that it has its issues. Like every ford, the interior is not top-notch like you would see with an import vehicle. I owned a 2000 ford focus in high school and the interior dash panel, where the tiles are to adjust the temperature and radio are exactly the same. You maybe would expect it to be a little bit different considering the trim of my vehicle. My car is 11 years old, and the Florida sun is starting to wear on it. However, if you keep this car in the garage, I would say that the convertible top would stay well preserved. The Florida sun and rain is harsh. The top is made from vinyl, but when I decide to replace my top, I will go with canvas. Vinyl is what the vehicle came with. All that being said, I am in love with this car. I love starting the engine and hearing the roar, I love having the top down and the way she looks. When I first bought this car, I could not stop looking in my driveway. Although my car is 11 years old, some people think that my car is brand new. The color is white with a cream convertible top. I find that this car is very reliable. I always keep up with the oil changes, and knock on wood, she has never left me stranded. She is a gas hog, that is for sure, but she is fast. I am still in love with this car after three years, and I do not regret my decision at all.

Irene N on November 11, 2019

Its dependable and great on mileage.

I love my mustang. It runs smooth and has not given me any major issues. It has been very dependable and surprisingly good on mileage. It is a comfortable ride and I feel safe behind the wheel.
