2003 Ford Mustang Base Coupe review from North America
"Nice bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vibration, clanking type noise from the engine at higher speeds and RPM.
General comments?
I've only had this car for about three months, but I love it. It's just the base model, but has some add-ons like the pony package and the handling package. Performance is pretty good, though I wish the engine was a bit more efficient. It's a 3.8L, but only pumps out about 190hp which is middle of the road.
The car looks great though and definitely will turn heads. It's great value if you are budget conscious yet still want a sporty looking car that has enough power.
