2001 Ford Mustang Base Coupe review from North America
"A RWD V6 Beast that not most College Students should have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all has went wrong with this car at 65,400 miles. Minor note - the headlights had to be replaced because before I purchased this car it was in South Carolina by the beach where condensation got into the headlights. It's not Ford's fault though. -
General comments?
The throaty sound of this engine on a cold morning is enough to make me want to keep the car, but with gas prices and insurance for an 18 year old, I am currently selling it. It's not very comfortable, but what do you expect from a RWD pony-car? It's quick, and it feels like your wheeling a Cadillac around turns. The steering is very stiff (as you would expect with a Mustang). It's terrible in snow, rain or anything other than dry road. Then again, as I said before, what do you expect from a MUSTANG? Overall, Gorgeous car on looks inside and out, and It would be very fun to build one of these cars up if I had the extra money. For a retired Old man wanting to spruce up a car I'd give it a 9/10, but for some like me who's about to attend college and attempt to save money, its about a 2/10. Although my first Stang, it will certainly not be my last. The Legend Lives.
