2001 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"A lot of bang and great looks for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ancillary component that allows engine to idle at a stop went out at 17,000 miles. It was fixed under warranty, no charge.
General comments?
Other than the above problem, Which has not been repeated, this car has proved itself to be one reliable factory hot rod.
The stiff solid rear axle is a problem on bumpy roads as it allows the car to skid and be tail happy, especially when accelerating.
Front seats are the best I have sat in. Very well ergonomically designed.
Great cornering.
Slingshot acceleration.
