2000 Ford Mustang 2 Door Coupe review from North America
"F.ed O.ver R.ebuilt D.odge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have gotten this ''piece of American history'' it seems I have done nothing but throw money at it.
I have had it for about 5000 miles, and it is at the top of my list of least favorite cars.
The front end squeaks when it's in a solid state (I say solid state because the thing dropped the A arm while I was driving, and gave the wheel a toss, but didn't make a peep until it was dragging).
The transmission is sticky, the clutch is soft, there is little power to speak of, even for a 6 cylinder.
There is no room in the car whatsoever; you may need to roll the window down so you can have the room necessary to turn the wheel swiftly.
The interior is simple yet poorly designed.
This little engine makes more noise than it does power.
The 'stainless factory exhaust' has rusted off.
The car has the WORST handling in any type of weather, then it gets worse when it rains or anything (new tires don't help).
The back seat is useless; I don't understand why its there.
General comments?
I have driven countless types of cars across hundreds of miles, but the Mustang has a special place in my heart for being a piece of crap. No thanks FORD, won't make your mistake again.
