2006 Ford Mustang review from North America
"Looks Like a Dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Great SPRING, SUMMER, FALL car.
Terrible WINTER car.
This is a manual. I live on a hill. My parking space is an incline. I must use the Parking Brake. However, under 30 degrees and it's frozen. Cannot be un-frozen manually. You have to wait til the sun warms it up.
FORD says it's not an issue. Just don't use the Parking Brake in the winter. Um...HELLO! Shall I park in my front yard or just let it roll down the hill?
BTW, the one time I did park it without the parking brake - it DID roll down the hill. Into a truck, into my fence, through my gate. You get the pic.
Love the car until 30 degrees.
It's frozen today. 19 degrees overnight and I can't drive. FORD really needs to offe a viable solution.
General comments?
Car is great looking, fast, sounds good. We've added custom parts to make it look better.
Love it physically.
Hate that darn frozen parking brake.
Guess I'll have to buy another car to drive in the winter.
