The only thing to go wrong was the parking brake froze. Ran through the car wash in winter when the temp was 2 degrees above zero, then it quickly cooled to twenty below. I had to pour warm water on the brakes the following morning, then took it to the dealer to be lubed.
This car is a blast to drive. Anyone can afford one, and they come almost completely equipped. The V6 and five-speed combo is very economical to operate, with 30 to 33 mpg/highway a reality, and between 19 to 21 mpg/city. All this, plus the head turning styling of an all around wonderful car.
I know that the 2001 Mustang V6 is priced reasonably. You say that anyone can afford it, how is the insurance?
