2005 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"An absolute head turning, powerful beauty!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car arrived from the factory, it was missing the 3 screws that screw the front bumper cover in place just ahead of the driver side front wheel.
The steering wheel seems to sit slightly to the left even when driving in a straight line on a flat roadway. I'm sure it is just a minor alignment adjustment, but haven't got it to the dealer yet.
General comments?
Cheers to Ford once again for making the best and most recognized sports car in the world the best model yet.
Look at how the other manufacturers such as GM and Dodge are copying Ford's lead the this Mustang's sales success by bringing back cars such the Camero and the Charger.
This car handles, drives and looks like a dream.
The exterior styling is crisp and the lines of the car are beautiful.
The interior is a perfect blend of a retro and modern look.
Great power and performance. Anybody thinking about buying a sports car with some versatility should seriously consider taking one of these baby's for a test drive.
Golf clubs and groceries? No problem with the Mustang's trunk space.
A real head turner!
Excellent fit and finish that is solidly built.
The growl from this Mustang's exhaust just like it's predecessors, is the unmistakable Mustang tune - music to the ears!
