2004 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Ford's pony car lives up to its name"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front drivers seat has wear already in the leather.
Carpet has wear already under the clutch and gas pedal from my shoes.
Cheap heat schield on exhost pipe came loose and started to rattle.
General comments?
Considering that I only paid 21,000 for the car it is well worth it. I went from driving a 1995 Toyota Pickup truck to the Mustang GT. At first the car takes a bit to get used to, you have to know when to roll on the power going around corners because it will break loose on you. Once you learn how to control the power of the car like controlling wheel spin when shifting and controlling the car in a slide it is a true blast to drive.
The bad sides are the car is a little under powered compared to the Camaro SS and the Ram-Air Trans Am. But for the money that I paid for the car, it is well worth it.
Nothing major has gone wrong with the car, knock on wood!!
When hitting the gears the clutch feels a little weak, FORD could have put a better clutch and pressure plate in the trans.
Some upgrades that are a must to any Mustang GT owner are a short throw shifter, a full cat-back system, and a intake system. After these mods the car will be even more of a blast to drive... see you on the streets!!
Great car!
