2002 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 liter V8 from North America
Summary:
A nice suprise in power
Faults:
Passenger side window motor died at 18,000 miles. Fixed by manufacturers warranty right after.
Weatherstripping on windshield starting to come off already.
General Comments:
I traded in my 1997 Trans Am and expected a huge loss in power, but I was relatively suprised and impressed by the mustang.
Bought it due to the large amount of aftermarket parts available and their lower costs compared with that of the TA.
I already have added a K&N FIPK package, Flow-master American thunder cat back exhaust system, and Eibach lowering springs and dampers.
Only problem I really have is the seats don't adjust nearly enough.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

We live in a very snowy, cold place in winter.. Northern Utah. Our elevation is about 6,000 feet. I'm a baby-boomer, so love the Mustang's reputation, but am concerned about the possibility of serious e-brake problems, especially since we haven't gone through a winter with our 2002 convertible yet. I've only had e-brake problems a few times, but entirely my own fault. Once my husband explained I had to apply the foot brake first, I had no problem moving the e-brake. This stays in our garage most of the time. We're considering trading for a Jeep Liberty Limited, also fun to drive, but not as fun or with as fun a reputation as a Mustang convertible. Sure better off-road and in snow, though. My practical side is always fighting my fun side. Husband likes both choices and wishes I'd make up my mind. Wish money were not a factor. We'd get both!
