I’m the proud owner of a 2008 mustang gt
It’s possibly the best thing I’ve ever bought
It’s an awesome car
Ironically it has those same wheels from American Muscle
The previous owner slightly modified it
But it’s still an amazing car
Ford did a bang up job
Congratulations! I am on my way to buy a 2005 GT base (cloth seats) with ONLY 4.3k miles...yes 6800kms...for around 13K US$! Any thoughts?
@@azizhachimi8744 Got mine with low miles too great price, 06' GT Premium.
I have an 07 GT that I bought new (actually ordered from the factory). Aside from Saleen HID headlights, it's bone stock. However, a stock GT is still lots of fun. It handles well for a live axle vehicle, and the engine has an extremely broad torque band that makes it fun to pull. I think Ford nailed the stock exhaust, loud enough for folks to know it's a V8 with a nice burble when the throttle is lifted. What Ford solved was the bus-like droning sound the previous Mustang suffered from. This car sounds great from the inside at 2000 rpm. The shifter is a bit soft, but leagues better than the one in the previous version.
one of the best Mustang reviews ive seen on youtube and ive seen a lot man. thanks
Thanks man ! Means a lot !!!
@allthingsautomotive9874 IN MY OPINION THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING MODERN DAY MUSTANG BODY STYLE EVER LOL THAT'S WHY I HAVE A 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE AND MY 08 GT500 AND MY 07 SHELBY GT AND MY GRABBER BLUE 10 KENNY BELL SUPER SNAKE COUPE.
I’ve got an 07 mustang GT premium that I bought two years ago with 37,000 miles on it. It cost me 15,000 and it a show quality car. I’ve put on it a CAI with a tune, and Borla Stinger Axle back mufflers. This added 10% more hp (Dyno tested). These Borla mufflers have no drone and have a loud, mean exhaust. They aren’t cheap at $600, but the technology and build quality is outstanding. All stainless steel four inch and easy to install. Mine has the manual tranny with the 3:55 rear end. The heated seats and Shaker 1000 makes it a drivers car. It’s a garage queen in the winter and I take it to all the area car shows after wintertime . It’s redfire with a red and black interior. I had a professional paint shop put a white boss 302 stripe on the fenders and door panels that put me back $2600. They also buffed the entire car’s clear coat. It is uniquely mine and I’ll never sell it. It goes to my kids when I die.
why put a boss 302 stripe? just curious cuz I personally find it odd to do when they brought back the remade boss 302's in 2012-13
'Garage Queen '🤣 love that! my stang is a winters garage queen as well, usually November to late April
@@darkcalling9211 also its not even a 302. 302 cu is the displacement of the 5.0. These are 4.6 or 281 cu so it kinda doesnt make sense to put boss 302 stripe on it
ford nailed it with the styling of the s197 mustangs...brought back the original mustang styling. But, like they did before, changed the style to something that does not look like a mustang at all. The new "mustangs" have great power, suspension and tons of techno gadgets buts its not a mustang. They did the same thing back in the day. I will be keeping my 07 GT till the end. I am doing a coyote/trans swap though. As far as the techno crap in the new mustangs...they can keep it. American muscles cars are suppose to be basic not a driving arcade/light show inside lol.
NJ Patriot
I agree
When I do get my 2005 to 2009 I'm never gonna get rid of it
I'll learn how to fix it if I have to
But bottom line it's gonna be mine hopefully till I die
Golden Retriever I'll buy one and hopefully keep it until the motor blows up then put something insane in it and build it up
Yup. I'd go with the 07-08 models over the 15-17 models.
05 to 09 Mustangs hottest Mustang since the 60s probably even hotter the new ones just don't cut the mustard looks-wise
Did you ever do the Coyote swap?
I absolutely love my 2007GT. I bought it used with a little over 36,000 miles and 10 years later this month have over 161,000. I changed out the stereo to a Kenwood with a Nav system, but other than an alternator and normal maintenance and repair, this car has been a dream to own. Just like Andrew, my car still turns heads and I actually get closer to 19 miles per gallon with mixed driving in an Urban environment.
I drive a 2007 mustang gt with 120k miles and I just hit 20 mpg!! Love that car man
hey man I know its been like 2 years since u made this comment but how has your 3v been since u made this comment?
That was a very fare review without hating all over it or being a complete fanboy. Nice work.
Agree 100%. I've had my 2007 for about 3mos now and the fun factor is over the top.
I love it.
awesome, detailed review without being boring. Thank you!
Definitely a drivers car. I love mine.
I have a 07 GT Vista blue and it is a blast to drive and I get compliments from 3 years to 93 year old!!
I got my 1 owner, 06 Torch Red Mustang GT premium in late June of 2019 with only 23,504 miles on it for $11k ! With a 4 year warranty included ! Love it !!
You know what?!!! Loved your review because you are HONEST and present negatives as fluidly and freely as you gush over the attributes. You have no axe to grind like the other 99% of reviewers who don`t have the nerve to criticize vehicles because they may limit their future options. Thanks for an excellent review. Refreshing. Borrow some buddies` cars so you can give more truthful evaluations.
Great Review like how you went in depth for every category!
Great Review! Great job man!! Thanks for your objective point of view.
Enjoyed the review, great job!
Thank you !
This is my favorite post-classic Mustang body style. I considered getting a 2017-18 for the extra power but realized I would miss my 2006 if I traded it in (and kind of wasteful to have two). My black convertible GT with red interior and red Le Mans stripes looks super sharp and gets many comments. With rear wheel drive, you have to limit acceleration on turns or the back will spin out (I have almost done it a few times). Top down at 138 mph is a rush (only where safe!). Great standard sound (my brother, Dick, worked on Mustang exhaust/sound at Ford NVH in Dearborn).
Good review, thanks for posting! I'm looking at buying a 2007 GT and this is a big help. I absolutely hate exhaust drone and the car I'm looking at has Magnaflow system, which I'm sure is a droner. I like some quiet too. Too much road noise sux. Nice review!
I like your review! I really appreciate you considering the changes the other sound system would make and the trunk release button only being on the key fob- I'm sure new buyers will like to know that.
I bought my 2007 mustang gt for 10k and 8k miles. Garage keep and 1 owner. It still has the warranty still 15k miles. I love it, I’m 15 and can’t wait to drive it.
I purchased my Mustang GT 2008 brand new so I have it for 12 years, it is Visa Blue in color, since getting it I installed cold air intake, flowmaster mufflers and purchased a Bama tuner from American Muscle which I was abled to tune the car myself, after all those mods it felt like a completely different car. When I shift gears there is no lag from going to the next gear it leaps the car forward.Then for the outside installed a hood scope, side scope, C stripe and rally stripe. One day I am stopped at a red light a old gentleman with a walking cane was crossing the street he walked in front of my car to get to the pavement, he stopped right in front of my car turned toward me and gave me the thumbs up, I get the thumbs up alot mostly every-time I am either driving my car on the street or at a gas station
love this review,the way you described clutch feel was great almost sublime.if you would like to review a 2008 roush stage 3 i have one
Yes! I had a s197 GT plus then sold it when I moved b/c I had a v6 s197 waiting on me daily’s that through the winter sold it bought a Mach 1 and by the winter found a nice base new edge GT with 120k on the cheap to daily but these mustangs make great daily drivers and then you can downshift a gear a disappear on fools with a trunk full of groceries or luggage hell they are great road trip car s too!
nice review, i really like those generation mustangs for some reason. Such potential.
Thank You !
Great review,,awesome job.
The 05 to 09s are some of the best looking mustangs ever,,the retro look is what my generation has been waiting for forever, I was born in 1967,,,as a kid in the 70s, I sat in many a 60s mustang backseat.
I also have an 07 gt mustang.
Everything you said was spot on.
It is a great car for the money,,the fun factor is sick,,,especially if you mod it out.
I did the gt 500 throttle body, 3:73 gears, 93 performance octane tune, pypes long tube headers, jlt cold air intake.
This thing rips,,,probably a 365 hp right now with 380 to 400,, torque.
You get thrown back into the seat,,lmfao.
However, the s197 can get water leaks especially on the passengers floorboard,,,as well as those annoying plastic geared acuator motors that control the air flow direction always burn out., royal PIA..!
I just keep it in the floor/defrost mode n no more clicking or replacing cheap plastic geared motors.
One more flaw to point out.
Hood bubbling as far as the paint is concerned is a huge factor.
From what I've read,, Ford supposedly had a metals cross contamination dilema in thier factory on thier aluminum hoods.
Many s197s have this hood paint bubbling issue.
Ford does not care about helping you out either on it.
You just have to resurface it and paint it when it goes haywire on you., I'm in that process now.,,,,either repair your hood or go aftermarket hood.
Some say the bubbling will eventually come back,,I say so what ,,,have fun with it,,and repair it when you need to.
Anyway, I love your Vista blue metalic n stripes.
I'm hooked.!
The water leak is caused by your cowl drain clogging with debris you have to remove the cowl grate and the cabin air filter and below it is the rubber drain they clog with dirt leaves etc check and clean often!
I can’t wait to get my 07 GT. That’s just my year. Favorite movies, music, and mustangs.
Going to look at one tomorrow bro hopefully everything looks good
@@kozyferr4090 did u get it?
I love my 08 GT convertible in Vista blue with the GT package that added the rear spoiler and hood scoop as well as the 18” five spoke crime wheels. I get compliments all the time from young and old.
This was a little long, but very comprehensive. I enjoyed it. Thanks for giving a somewhat unbiased review. That’s not easy when a person spends their own money on the product they are reviewing. I’d like to see some more review videos from you.
great video, love my 06 gt !!!
Hi Andrew, love this great in-depth review and all the effort you put in. As someone who wants this model of Mustang as a dream car, to see it in such depth really helps soothe the pain of not owning one! I watch this video regularly as a result.
Just a quick question - I saw the pinned comment and am wondering why you sold the Mustang? I want to be aware of any issues or problems with these cars before I eventually take the plunge and if you came across one that made you sell I would love to know about it!
Thanks!
what a great review. I still have my 2007 GT after 276K miles . Love that car. Still gets compliments almost daily.
I bought one with 221000 miles
Did you beat on it a decent bit? I have an 07 gt with 84k miles hoping mine will last like yours I’m pretty easy on her just the occasional burnout or donut
I am currently looking at 3 different 07 GTs and I gotta say man, you've sold me on it. I will 100% buy one. Excellent review. The enthusiasm in what you say does it for me. Shows me that we share the love for vehicles no matter what their flaws are.
I have a 06 gt manual for sale with high performance parts No motor issues For sale in the Area of south Texas for 7,600
@@iamalpha5134 already bought one my dude.
@@brian4391 cool I sold mine the day o messages you it was fully loaded to take to the track! Hope you got a good deal👍😎💯💯💯
@@iamalpha5134 15k for an 07 fully loaded, 1 owner, no accidents. 44k miles
@@brian4391 OUCH!! mine was fully loaded with high performance parts, new BF Goodrich tires, prestige car alarm system, radio system, American muscle racing bullet rims, Xpipe exusth system with mini tank headers and much more quality parts under the hood had 105k miles but motor had no issues the kid that bought it was taking lots of photos and videos to post in his social media! And I was the 2nd owner the 1st was a girl so car was hardly used and damaged
Nice video! Very professionally done.
Great review!
Love my black '07 GT ragtop. Reminds me of the '70's cars of my youth but with "modern" reliability. Fortunate to own several vehicles so my GT only has about 25K miles currently. Added a few fun little mods - CAI, pulley, chip, cosmetics. Considering a supercharger in the near future...
Bud Heberling how was the performance and drive after the CAI and chip? I have those on the way right now and am curious what to expect.
My Mustang feels faster but it's not a huge difference. Throttle response is definitely improved. However, I added the Steeda Underdrive Pulleys at the same time so I'm unsure what made the biggest difference. Of course, the increased intake sounds do make it feel faster. (I have stock exhaust.) I'm running a 93 octane tune. The best mod I've made so far is an MGW short throw shifter.
Nice vid and review. You are as enthusiastic about your 07 GT as I am. I bought mine last year with only 36,000 miles on it for $15,000. It is a pristine show car with all the factory options. I’ve put about $2,000 in mods on it and I am having so much fun. I go to most of the area car shows and just got back from the 2018 Sturgis weeklong Mustang Rally. There were all kinds of mustangs of all the years but by in large the most of them were the 05-09 s197 body style. The 2007 sold over 160,000 mustangs and were second in sales numbers only to the 66 year mustang.
i just bought a 07 with 30k miles on it with upgrade mods for 14k and cant wait to pick it up next week and drive it
I own a 2008 GT/CS Vista Blue convertible with 24,000 miles. I love the body style. I did some slight modifications but it’s treated like a rock star wherever I go. It’s in mint condition. Awesome and fun. Take care
Actually, the 06 Mustang topped the s197 sales at 166k. I believe the 07 was at 130k.
great channel! im getting mine going! im building up to getting my 2012-16 mustang gt! my favorite car hands down!
Thank You ! Good Luck !
I bought a 09 GT Premium black on black. Everything he said is dead on. it fun its fast its cool and is best looking design. im 62 and mine is in mint perfect condition. I loving life with this car when i use it as it sits in garage covered to be used on nice days wont see the sunlight in the winter. 60k miles
Absolutely beautiful!!
Watching this after 4 years. I was thinking about getting a one but now im sure
thanks for a fantastic buyers review about considering buying a GT Mustang in my opinion you did a fantastic video about the good and the not so good all around I think now I want one now lol
Very nice job with this review! I am a refugee from the muscle car era and was thinking of picking up one of these. Like the retro styling more than the new ones. Yeah it’s not a coyote but fun is not always measured in raw horsepower.
Great Video!!
Thanks for telling about the window going down and then up when you shut it. I was going to take the door apart. Lol Nice car and video.
Regarding the leather seats, Use KIWI Brand shoe polish(Neutral color) It will maintain supple and wont allow cracking. KIWI does make a grey polish. Put it also on the upper dashboard. Using liquid protectant that absorbs into the vinyl or leather will eventually cause cracking when sunshine heats the dash or seats over time. Put it on, let dry & buff, that's it. Great for motorcycle seats too. Walmart or some shoe stores carry KIWI
...and it will end up on your clothes.
So no Armourall on the dash?
Great review man. I get 26 highway driving it economically. That is amazing. Especially these days.
Just want to add to the enthusiasm. I have a 2007 with pony package, what ever that means. All I know is that it is a fun car to drive, and that's what I do with it. The clutch and shifter are noticeable for sure and I would change if I was racing. :-)) All in all I'm happy I bought Mustang! :-))
nice!!!!! mustang forever
I love how you listed two extremes for clutch weight and said it was somewhere in between
That axleback sounds amazing I have the mbrp (with resonators) and it is very deep
My childhood dream car since its release, but in france it cost used as much as corvette C5, also another dream but if i have to choose i will go to the chevy !
I heard you say about getting into the trunk the only way is the FOB. I think you can use the key too.
Great video!
Thank You !
It don’t need a tune to run on higher octane. You can have your car tuned for 87 octane and use higher octane gas. However, if you had a 91 octane tune installed then you cannot use 87 octane gas.
If your tall you know you can push the electric button on the side of the drivers seat to make the seat go down
Prepare to Replace that "Shaker" system. If it hasn't gone out yet, it will eventually. I was warned this would happen and it did. I miss that Changer and changers are not really around as much today, but I do have a single player on my unit.
You look like a skinnier Vitaly, Good review btw!
Love my 05’ gt
Those beautiful colors and stripes
i own a 2011 Shelby and a 2007 Mustang gt. i drive my gt all year round and i have to say i have more fun with it. its black on black premium 5 speed a cold air intake and Borla attacks. i put my factory Shelby 19 inch wheels on it and i bought the track wheels for my Shelby, the gt is perfect balanced power for the city i can do a burnout beautiful and not worry i will end up in the curb. bang for buck you will not find a modern muscle car like this for the money i would give it a 5 star rating.
Song at 0:35 is called starbound.
I have a 07 mustang gt same color and stripes and it's my first muscle car and I never stalled because of the clutch..i admit it is heavy but not enough to stall lol
nice review, looking at a 2006 gt
Did you ever get one? I just bought an '06 GT. I love it!
Pretty good review
this mustang is beautiful
Cams (VSR stage 2 in my case), long tubes and high flow cats with mufflers?
These start sounding wild!
Happy Hardcore technotrance! haven't heard any of that stuff in years!
Just recently bought a 2011 GT 5.0 with 80k miles on it for 20k$ and it’s quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever purchased in my entire life.
What's the difference from 2005-2009 gt ??? Are they all different in performance?
Nice job
"in my opinion" this guy has no clue when criticizing not only an iconic legend, but also the BEST generation of this legend.
Clean!
I see you're from New York I'm from New York too and a have A 2010 Mustang. are you on the New York MUSTANG forms?
Indeed I am !
Do you still have that 2007? I have a 2008 with 196K on it daily driver too
I have the 2007 v6 i love it.
I have a 2006 GT and I get 26 mpg hiway and 15 around town and mines an automatic.
i'm glad to have saw a good up to date review vid on this car cause i just bought one with alot of bells and whistles i see the newer mustangs and think i should have held of budget wise till i could afford on but i do like this car and it came with alot of mods...(Detroit rocker cam) snd i am pushing 450rwhp i can't wait to put the slicks on it.
thanks again for the video.
Thank You ! Good luck with your Mustang, sounds like it's a monster !
you need to get a shift kit there real easy to install
Is that a premium package GT or deluxe
How good is the stock ride height I live on a road that is filled with nothing but pot holes the size of a small child
The stock ride height is very good, I'm able to make it into driveways and over the notorious New York pot holes without any scraping or bottoming out. As long as you don't add larger side skirts or any type of splitter to the front and rear bumpers, you shouldn't have an issue.
My front tire is bigger than your rear... The body roll goes away when lowered, and the back cup holder goes down a lot further if you pull out the tab at the bottom of it...
If I have a tall bottle of soda or a larger cup in the cup holder, my forearm hits the top of it when I shift. I'm a woman, 5' 6" so I sit lower in the seat. If I stick to a shorter cup or a can of soda it's fine.
I have one this color, and rims. Mine is a Shelby Mustang GT. It is a beast, and fun to drive. Transmission has been beefed up. The only problem is the door panels keep coming off due to heat. Over all a great car. It's a keeper.
I want one!
Have the exact same GT but in automatic and different wheels. Fun car to drive.
Nice ! I agree !
Can you explain how the 'hill-holding clutch' works? I have driven this very same car, but I didn't even know there was such a thing as a hill-holding clutch.
When you have to stop in a hill (stop sign, traffic or whatever..), you can just push in the clutch to a certain point, so it holds the car steady, and don't roll back. So you don't need to use the gas or brake pedal. Especially when there is slow traffic in hills, this is super convenient, its faster, easier and saves the clutch for a lot of work...
I looked it up to see if my car has it. I have a 2006 GT. The information I found said it wasn't added until 2011.
I don't need it because I have quite a bit of experience driving a manual transmission, but it would be handy on really steep hills. The more you drive a specific car, the easier it gets. Any car new to you will take a little time to get used to.
@@zxy78267 Ah I see, mine is a 2007.
If you think that clutch is heavy, you should drive a GT500. It's like doing squats with one leg.
I'm getting 18 mpg overall.
I think the Germans designed part of the electrical system on those cars. The reminder dinger, the gauge clusters, and the door windows all behave like my wife’s late model Volkswagen Beetle. Especially when the windows slide up & down when opening & closing doors.
The windows are designed to do that. I think at the time it was an option found only on German cars like Mercedes.
Got me a 2010 gt premium, my God it is so fast.
Great review friendly advice try to use less spacing words I heard you saying "um" quite a bit. Otherwise very good 8/10
phycadelic pikachu tf you is a English teacher
I only weigh 171. Properly bolstered seats hug a person of any size.
How do you turn off your traction control???
top right of your right of your radio dash there's a button that says TCS glowing showing its on, press that, just be careful.
Im trying to buy an 05 gt 4.6 3v wondering if they reliable or perhaps problematic.
No problems here, 2005 GT covertible
Man I got an 06 V6 premium and also a manual tranny. Also btw this was my first car and still is. What you say about the clutch is very true. I was intimidated by it even. Let me tell you. For a V6, this thing is quite fast and it likes to scare other GT's on the road lol. Hopefully in a few months I'll be trading it in for a GT and pay the difference. This generation mustang is my all time favorite
"scare other gts" bro your v6 will get dragged
@@40rollsonly lol for real😂😂
@@40rollsonly maybe just maybe 4th gen GTs but even they will still give the s197 v6 a run for its money
the front seats have about 4-5 inches head room and rear has about 2.5inches. not half centimeters.
Well it depends on your height
is it like bluetooth?
I want one
I have a 06 v6 mustang GT and i love it!!! Im a sophomore in HiGh school and 16 and getting to one of these cars to me is amazing! Today was actually my first day getting to actually drive it on my own!! Idc what anyone says I love my stang!

Mustangs with V6s are not Mustang "GT" lol
05 to 09 Mustang GTs sweetest hottest looking Mustang of all time no doubt the 2015 and up Mustang GTs man what were they thinking those rear ends on those cars are so but ugly
So true. At least the newer ones have the five O but damn they are reverting back to the nineties fugly butt end.
Haha so true man, i hate the rear ends on the 2010 and up to current but i love the front ends. I have a 2007, had an 05 a few years back but it got repo'd 😥 which is fine because i got ripped off on it and my 2007 i have had almost 3 years i got a sweet deal on her and i love it.
actually the audio jack is in all s197 mustangs lo great review, i know cus im buying one an 05 to b exact im 17 so my parents rnt too happy cus thy say im gonna crash nd die but thats bs plus im paying it not lyk all the kids at my school who have momy and dady pay for their stuff.

hey man thanks for the video, how has this car held up so far reliability wise? I also live in NY and I drive everyday so that's one of them main things that have held me back from muscle cars and rwd in general. Thanks again man.
angel flores Thank you for the support ! Reliability is exemplary ! The only things I've replaced was a taillight bulb and an 8 year old battery, other than that the car has ran flawlessly for the 9,000 miles I've put on it. The car wasn't babied for those 9,000 miles either. I don't mind having rwd here in NY as the snowfall is only severe maybe 3-4 times a year which is totally manageable. The only thing I hate about this car is the horrendous gas mileage for having such average power. Hope this helps !
+AllThingsAutomotive thanks alot for your honest feed back man it is much appreciated! I personally am looking at few rwd cars this being one of them. Overall, would you buy this car again?
angel flores Absolutely I would ! Especially because they are becoming more and more affordable, you're getting so much bang for your buck !
+AllThingsAutomotive one more quesiton man Sorry to bother, but I see the 2011 and up v6s have basically the same power. As a Mustang owner, What would you recommend? I personally love the body style on your car way more but interior wise they're almost on the same league. Thank you so much for the feedback man, your video was very helpful as well. Definitely Subscribed, God bless man.
angel flores not a bother, I was faced with that same decision. I would personally recommend the 05-09 GT because I'm more of a fan of the body style and although the power is similar, the torque is much higher on the 4.6L 3V V8. Also the 05-09 GT records faster acceleration and 1/4 mile times as it is a lighter car ! V8's sound a whole heck of a lot better too =)
