Flawless. The car has traction control and even worked well this winter during all the snow. Has new all season tires same model as original BFG and they are great. The car routinely achieves 26 MPG. We have had the car since new and still get compliments. Great buy and super reliable.

Growing up with many Fords, even going back to the Model - Ts, I have to say this is the worst car to purchase and has ruined my relationship with Ford and its products. The car was ordered to gain all features desired; the dealership had to order it twice to get it right! As of buying it Jan of 2005 I have had: two dead batteries, all sensors replaced twice for doors and trunk, when filling gas tank the pump clicks out and/or then the tank will over fill and spill about a gallon of gas, windows stuck in the down position when closing the doors, fuel emission issues, same tail light burning out, paint separation from body in spots, constant rattling noise, CONT BELOW

I am unhappy with the all new Mustang. In addition to poor gas mileage, I have had the gas tank replaced three times already. The pump was stopping as if the tank was full, as well as slow fill and spitting back. Dealership said nothing was wrong. They did contact headquarters to find out that there is indeed this type of problem with the vehicle, but not on all of them. They replaced it twice and did not work. Finally they redesigned it. Took 5 months to solve problem. It is a fast car with a great sound system. But, too many "characteristics" that take away from the car. Any problem that I have with the car, they say is a characteristic of the car.
Really wanted to like this car

I had this case for almost 5 years... I REALLY wanted to like it which is why I just kept fixing it. First thing I noticed after I bought it was a poor design voice, put shopping bags in the back and if one of the handles catches the emergency trunk release that just hangs there, it WILL pop your trunk while you're driving. The next thing that happened, I was in the freeway going a contract 75-80 and suddenly the engine started making weird noises and the wrench light came on them I had no power, exited the freeway, pulled over, didn't see anything wrong, started back up and the wrench light was off, happened again every week or so under different random circumstances and would go into limp home mode, so here I am in a mustang struggling to go 45. Finally replaced the throttle positioning sensor and for the most part that particular problem stopped. Then, because of the angles the fuel travels when you fill up there were only two gas stations anywhere near me where I could fill the tank properly without having to hold the nozzle the whole time and pump really slow, and even those two stations wouldn't work if they had gotten a fuel shipment recently. Then occasionally my gas gauge would go to empty even though there was a ton of fuel in the tank, and if the gas light was on for very long it would turn the check engine light on which would not go off without taking it to be cleared. The battery light would also come on randomly even after replacing it and the cables. Then the car started overheating while idling in a parking lot, shut it down to find the coolant tank was completely empty, had to be rescued by my dad with a bunch of water, found out the thermostat housing was plastic and cracked, replaced that and continued dealing with the battery, full and check engine lights all the time, about 5 months later after accelerating into a highway the engine started chugging badly and I could only accelerate if I put the pedal on the floor, pulled off the road and the coolant tank was completely empty again but while driving the temperature didn't go above normal and I had no warning lights on, again my dad had to come rescue me, started driving back home and it was sluggish the whole time until it died and only the did every warning light on the dash come on, got pushed into a parking lot and on a hunch I checked the oil, milky all the way up the dip stick and steaming, blown headgasket. Don't waste your time on mustangs, everything is poorly designed on them, in fact I'm not going to waste my time on any American car anymore. Even if you want to drag race people, a lot of European and Japanese cars will destroy American muscle cars. Sad to admit, but that mustang cost me a lot of money over the years and it was nothing but disappointment

I bought my 2005 Mustang in Dec 2004 and it has been driven very little to this date. I have approximately 800 miles on this vehicle and it been to the service department four times already (with another trip to be scheduled). I must say that as excited as I was about purchasing this car, I am now starting to have serious reservations about my decision. I have had problems with the heating & cooling system, the car wouldn't go in reverse, the stereo had to be replaced (Shaker 500), vibration in front end, and several other minor issues. I believe for the price you have to pay (usually over sticker price), Ford should have placed more emphasis on quality rather than looks alone.
