2002 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"A wicked performer with unlimited potential!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with my Mustang.
General comments?
This car is very tight handling and fast. The exhaust note is powerful and you can feel the power when you open up the throttle. It is an impressive amount of torque and horsepower for a 4.6L displacement.
The 5 speed transmission is tight and shifts well. The 17" rims and 45 series tires really stick to the pavement. If you shift at the recommended speeds in the owners manual you can actually get 24-26 miles per gallon on the highway, but it is much more fun to put you foot in it and let the V-8 growl.
The leather interior is very nice, however the front seat needs to adjust further to the rear for taller drivers to be more comfortable. After-market parts for the mustang are plentiful and you can achieve any degree of performance you desire, however a factory supercharger option would be nice. The hood scoop is cool, but a working ram air option should be available rather than the fake scoop.
This is the #1 American total performance car in terms of cost, power, handling, and good looks.
