2005 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"A totally perfect car, if you can afford the gas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has assorted light rattles, particularly one in the passenger side of the dash.
General comments?
The car is very fast, though it has a throttle management system (throttle-by-wire) that makes you feel a little disconnected sometimes as opposed to cable-driven throttles.
It really likes gas a lot. I drive my Jeep as a daily driver because it actually gets better gas mileage.
Everything has worked wonderfully. No issues with any quality control at all.
It handles very nicely. The ride is bumpy (which I like), as a performance car's should be.
It certainly turns head, at least right now. I get more looks than I ever dreamed I would. This is a seriously attractive car.
The convertible top works wonderfully, and it stores attractively without having to use a boot with its "Z-fold" mechanism.
