2005 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"I can't wait to get rid of mine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical problems including top not going back up, A/C malfunctioning, vibration at speeds above 60-70mph, engine misfiring, poor shifting, severe tint scratching due to poorly designed window seals... probably more, but I am tired of listing them!
General comments?
Fast and raw. Retro looks, retro build quality (read: poor).
Uncomfortable ride due to live axle. Noisy with top up.
Gas mileage reasonable for engine output.
Disappointing service from Ford dealerships.
Fun to drive in a straight line - V8 sounds great.
Archaic suspension setup is allergic to corners.
Very cheap plastic interior - lots of hard surfaces.
