I bought the car used and got quite a bargain. I cannot imagine buying one of these new! The reliability has been excellent.

I bought a low miles (17000) black w/tan interior convertible (from a music icon who bought he car off the showroom floor in Nashville). I am the second owner. I enjoy it. Only drive it on nice days. I rarely push it but when I do it performs. The interior quality is not up to what it should be and I would have put some metal in the front where that plastic piece is. I think this is the first year that Ford made the car. The technology on the engine was flawed in materials but does not seem to be too big a problem. Light lenses leak but glass is so much better than all the new plastic lenses. All and all a good car. Classic? Don't bet on it.

I fell in love with this "factory special" 2 years ago. It is colour-change blue, with a subdued green/grey interior. Form not only follows function, but establishes equal playing ground. The car is absolutely beautiful, aggressive, & handles well in the L.A. traffic! Truly a timeless, minimalist design, it can "bust a 1/4" with the best of 'em while still maintaining class. 56,000 mi & no
Great Car

The feeling you get driving this car is unsurpassed by any other vehicle I have owned. It is now a 15 year old car but it still turns heads. I picked mine up from the original owner for less than 25% of the sticker price. Problems associated with this car can be remedied for a small price if you can do some of the work yourself. example: cam chain tensioners can be replaced with common hand tools for less than $250. With care and maintenance this car can last for many years to come and is a blast to drive
