2002 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8 from North America
Summary:
Fantastic!
Faults:
Voltage regulator (alternator).
MAF (installed a high performance one to replace the bad one).
General Comments:
I have had the car for 3 years, and it has been exceptionally reliable. It is very fun to drive!
I have a number of mods including a computer tune, lowering springs, poly bushing, Flowmaster exhaust, BBK cold air intake with a BBK high performance Mass Air Flow sensor. The tune makes the auto transmission shift higher and faster.
I take care of my car as far as maintenance goes. It is fast and fun, and I get an honest 25 MPG on trips.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Pay NO attention to the "Fords are not reliable" myth spread by import fans. They ARE reliable, and have been for DECADES.
Our family has put over 320,000 miles on one Ford with very few (and very inexpensive) repairs. We've owned 4 Mustangs and none has ever had a single break down.
I was at a Mustang show recently where a guy had his 2002 GT up for sale. It looked brand new inside and out. I was shocked when I asked the mileage and was told "Just over 200,000!!
Consumer Reports ran an article in Oct. of 2007 on long-lasting vehicles and the one with the highest mileage with no problems was a FORD!! It had just shy of HALF A MILLION miles.
