2003 Ford Mustang Pony review from North America

Headliner replaced, huge gap in back, some wonderboy decided you needed to loosen the dash to unplug the dome light (battery anybody?) so now my dash squeeks and rattled so bad I have to stuff a credit card in it to make it bearable. Ford, could not reproduce this (ergo...customer idiot) The trim on the rear quarter window on the drivers side was crooked, supposedly replaced, but honestly it looks like they pushed it into place... (it will go back) The wonderboy also put the rubber strips in side out, all this was pointed out to the service manager, who fixed it while we spoke. I asked him about the issues of poor craftsmanship on interior pieces, and that's when I got 'oh its just a mustang". I have had to return to the service department twice on each thing fixed, each I feel were minor items. I pray to God I don't have major issues. I hear an occasional clunk when I first back up after shifting (auto) into reverse, and whoever designed the doors so that the rain came in right onthe seat... should be fired.

Don't get me wrong... I really love this car, its the service I'm fed up with. Its zippy, looks faster than it will ever go and makes heads turn. Its also easily customizable.

I'm over 6'2 and I fit, however the driver / dash/ tilt wheel positions lack a comfortable and visual position combined in one.

Pretty decent CD Mach SOundsystem, but needs an EQ.

Now if they would just stop pulling me over for my windows being too dark (grin)
