2005 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Best "bang for the buck" performance out there!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet... only comment is on the leather seating surface of the driver seat. It seems to be "crinkling" on the edges to an excessive degree.. might just be the way the leather is starting to break in though.
General comments?
I Love the performance of this car! My previous car was a late 90's Z28 Camaro with the 345 HP motor. This GT feels every bit as quick, rides nicer and handles about as well.
There have been some complaints on the manuals "whining" and "clunking", but that is par for the course with limited slip "lockers" in the rear-end. The throw-out bearing does seem a little loud, but I like the "muscle car" mechanical sounds as it adds to the whole experience.
I can tell you... NO WHERE are you going to find better performance for the buck than this car. It runs right with or beats cars that are twice or even three times the money.
