Had one recall for parking brake. Fixed for free. Have had no other problems.
The car is fun to drive. Quite peppy with the base V6 engine plus very good on fuel.
The car attracts many people who comment on it's good looks.
No other car offers this much value for the money.
It depends what you value. It's a bargain if you want a cool looking car for 3 years. It sucks if you want a fast car or a car for more than 3 years.
Ford originally made its car parts so that the whole car would wear out at once so that used parts couldn't be salvaged for other cars.
Ford's new strategy is to build cars so that they require major repairs shortly after the warranty expires.
A common problem I've read about and experienced twice with my Mustang is with the transmission (manual AND automatic). I have an automatic and mine's died twice. The second you even suspect you may have a problem with your transmission, if you're within your warranty period, take it to the dealership and insist that they do something about it, because it will die.
