2001 Ford Mustang Base Coupe review from North America
"Great mid-life crisis car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Various loud rattles in dashboard interior that were impossible to identify or prevent.
Driver window did not always seal properly when rolled up.
General comments?
This car was extremely fun to drive, with outstanding acceleration after 4,000 rpm.
Sounds great, even with V-6 and stock exhaust.
Insurance was incredibly high.
Fantastic 400+ watt audio system.
The base model seats were cheap and unsupportive; passenger complained at length of how seat angle put her feet to sleep.
Useless backseat and trunk.
I owned two Ford cars prior to the Mustang, and I know they are capable of more in terms of fit and finish.
