1999 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brand new: coolant spill-tank hose not attached properly, paint not quite perfect, door weather seal not seated properly (had to be removed and straightened). The car has been recalled once for wiring re-routing. No running problems at 4500 mi.
General comments?
Pros: surprisingly strong acceleration (better than the stock 5.0) rated at 14sec (1/4mi) 5.5sec 0-60mph. Superb handling (with 17" tires), superb braking. A bit low on torque under 3000rpm (relatively of course, still a V8), but above waoohh!
Cons: Slippery seats (leather), overrated premium sound system, slow gear box, ackward seat design. But a hell of car for $21000.
