2000 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"I'm sure it's a good car, just not mine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You name it, it has happened. During month two of my ownership, an incredible knocking noise was clearly apparent from the engine area. The noise grew louder and louder as you accelerated. I took it to the dealer, and for a healthy sum of money, they informed me that the spark plugs were arcing during acceleration. Sounded more like a midget trapped under the hood armed with a hammer to me.
Alternator went bad at 19,000 miles.
Grinding noise between 2nd and 3rd gear.
Strange rotting stench emits from exhaust pipes on occasion.
General comments?
The best piece of crap money can buy! I should have taken the advice of my friends and bought a Chevy Camaro.
When the car is in working order, and that's about as rare as stepping in a steaming hot pile of elephant dump on Main Street, it runs well. Fast? Yes. Needs improvements on reliability? Sure does.
