2000 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible review from North America

Headlight switch - switch will turn on headlights, but will not turn on interior dash lights. Replaced once and it burned out 3 months later, still investigating this.

This car is a great value for a younger driver without a family.

Even the V6 has an excellent amount of power. After driving a 4 cylinder honda accord for 2 years this car feels like a Ferrari. The auto version is not as quick, I definitely recommend a manual transmission if you want that extra "snap".

The car has proved to be very reliable except for my headlight switch, which has burned out twice now.

Comfort is good for the front seats, the leather on this is fairly good, but not particularly soft or luxurious. The back seats are very cramped, not suitable for long drives or tall individuals. The A/C and heater perform extremely well, you will not be unimpressed. The A/C on my honda was always too warm and left me sweating on hot summer days.

The convertible is worth the extra grand or two. There's nothing better then dropping the top on a warm summer day or a perfect fall day. It very nice to be cruising along and hear the slight tone of the exhaust. Rev the engine and it becomes a distinctive growl - just perfect, not too loud or a high pitched whine like other modern cars. The top is VERY fast. People next to you will watch in amazement as you lower the top and then drive off within 20 seconds - a simply amazing time compared to Mercedes and BMWs that take over a minute.

It can be dangerous in wet weather, typical of a RWD car with some power. The V8 version is much more powerful, maybe too much for the average driver. I can't imagine how the Cobra version feels.

This is the last true muscle car. There's nothing better then slipping the tires and rumbling off.
