Ordered mine way before they were being built and took possession of it without ever taking it for a test drive. I knew I wanted one so no point in test driving it.

 

I drove a V6 (that's all they had), ordered an automatic GT, drove a manual GT, and didn't drive the auto. till the day my car arrived.
Didn't matter - I was getting this car no matter what!

 

I can't find any local dealers with GTs, gonna order mine around March and I would love to drive one before I order. Although my mind has been made up months ago to get an 05, I really would like to kick the tires before I commit.

 

I ordered in July, so none were available for testing. I saw one at a car show in Feb. But it had ropes to keep you away.

 

The first one I drove was the one I ordered, just after PDI and before detail my salesman and I took her on a mini shakedown

I was happy

 

i got to test drive it in october and placed my order january 18th

 

No I ordered in April.

 

I have yet to see a 05 Mustang GT in the streets of miami, let alone in the dealers.
There were a bunch in the Nascar race in Homestead back in November, I was told those babies all ready had an owner.

I wonder if the owners knew where their loved ones were at!

 

No test drive before ordering, but I will test drive my car before signing the papers.

 

i have yet to drive one at all...Mines should be here in a few days though and i'll want to test drive it before the paperwork is completed, although i don't know why, as if my opinion is going to change. :drive:

 

No test drive and never saw one in person, ordered in September.

 

I test drove a manual Legend Lime. They were willing to deal on the car because it was working up to about 300 miles on the odo from test rides. Couldn't reach a meeting of the minds, though. Went to my favorite dealer (they didn't have a manual at the time) and ordered the one I'm waiting for now.

Same here. The dealer told me if I did not like it, that he would gladly take the car back. Liking it has never been an issue

 

The local dealership let the wife and I takeout a black GT stick. I already knew I wanted one, so it wasn't "necessary" for our decision. But after that test drive... Life has not been the same since.

They recently sold it. If I ever run into the buyer I'll tell him how fun the test drive was. B)

 

I test drove, the car I ordered in May, when it showed up. Actually, my dealer gave me the keys while he got some paperwork together. That's it!

 

I got to put a bit over 40 miles on a black auto GT over Thanksgiving. Not only did the salesman toss me the keys, he gave me a gas ticket so I could fill it up first. That was a fun test drive.

Strangely enough, I wasn't in the market for a new car before the test drive...

 

Our dealer let us (wife and I) drive a new V-6 premium automatic with 3.5 miles
on it...



So we ordered our GT today!

 

congrats enjoy!

 

I test drove a red V6 first, then drove a white 05 GT Manual. On the GT test drive we ran out of gas and had to coast into a Toyota dealers lot. They would not give us any gas so the salesman had to call the Ford dealer and have some brought over to us. :angry: My GT test drive lasted 2 miles but that was enough to confirm I wanted the V8.
:drive: After we got gas the guy felt bad so he let my wife take it out on the freeway.
