Three problems, and not mechanical. Just cosmetic, the "aluminum" on the dash looks nice, but when tapped, it feels fake. Tires are expensive, and the Transmission is only a 5 speed.

General Comments:

This is the second best car I have ever owned, (2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (First best car) ). The performance is well over the $30,000 price tag. It feels like you're doing 50MPH when holding at 120. It doesn't handle the way I would LIKE, but then again, the car was not actually created for cornering. The seats are very comfortable, and support my back very well, and the sound system is ear piercing. Even though, if you owned a car like this and you listen to the radio, you should get a different car. The exhaust system is OVERWHELMING! When I was a kid and I went to go see 'Bullitt' I always dreamed of having a Mustang just like that. Now I have one. Tires are a once every two month thing. The rims are very smooth, the Woodland Green body is so astonishing. I understand for about 10 grand more I could have got a Shelby, but I have always wanted to become as close to Steve McQueen as possible. This has helped me accomplish that. Braking is great, Acceleration is very fast. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I'll try to answer them accordingly.

Chassis #871.

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

I have had this car for about 2 months now. No problems till now. But I seriously feel it is really over hyped and not worth the amount it sells for. Visually the car is and absolute stunner. People look at you when you are in it. It sounds excellent from the outside! garbage from the inside. When you press on gas, you hear more noise, but the car stays there and then suddenly the power comes and you accelerate. Really does not feel like 320 pound foot torque when you get off from a start, but it builds quickly. That is the only difference between this and the V6 mustang. However, the V8 is smoother. V6 is coarse and raucous. As far as the handling is concerned, it is not the best, but not that bad either. It handles curves nicely if you drive it you do everyday, if you try to be fussy with it, it gives it right back to you. But, for me handling has not been an issue till now and I am pleased with what I have in it.

However, I feel that the rear "Constant-Rate Coil Springs, 3-Link Design with Panhard Rod" was essentially a cost cutting measure. Over bumps, it is absolutely rubbish. However, the seats are nice and comfortable which make up for the sub-par rear suspension. Nevertheless, I still think Ford could have made a better suspension.

Stock stereo is OK, has a lot of Bass and less clarity. Controls are nicely laid out. Rear seats are for small adults or children only.

One more thing that I noticed is that it does not seem to have insulation over the area above and near the rear tires. It always is noisy in the back and you feel like there is some window in the back which is left open.

It suffers massive depreciation. If I had to do it all over again I would go for the V6 which was about 8 grand cheaper, or would go for a used BMW. My old used 540 drove way better than this. No comparison at all.

My suggestion to others, don't buy it, for the same price you can get a used BMW/Merc/Audi/lexus or Volkswagen. they drive much better and more comfortable.
