This is a $30K automobile and Ive had nothing but problems. Wont start and towed 8 times before Ford was able to fix. Once out of warranty, the repairs exceeded $500 a month. Largest repair bills were for ignition coils..replace repeatedly...and catalytic converters which went out 2000 miles after the warranty expired. Cost was $4500. Burned out headlight was $250, and the ashtray cant be replaced without buying a new console...$2500+. Broken door handle, which didnt last 2 years. Misc small items which nickle and dime an owner to death. Overall satisfaction with this Ford product is TERRIBLE!!!!

Combination of features and performance with this vehicle. Exterior appearance still looks fresh and the interior ergonomics are perfect. Very comfortable for highway traveling. Despite what others say the car tracks well in winter conditions. Overall LSC trim pkg transforms this car into a luxury vrsion of the Mustang Cobra. Receive lots of compliments on the vehicle from strangers.

problem with engine cutting out - no warning. Coils - replaced & replaced- worsened until unable to drive more than 3 weeks without same problem reoccuring. Dealer must buy back.....legal action taken. Understand this fault common with this model.... also telescoping steering wheel constantly breaking - replaced - lasts a month.... constant problem fuel cap not releasing

Awesome styling, fit finish inside/out. Only good thing I have to say for the mark 8. Car has 83k. Problem after problem. Blown head gasket, (2k in repairs) new low mileage bullet, 1k for engine, 1k for install. Freaking steering column goes throughthe exhaust manifold, column removal to swap engine. Blend air door 1k to repair. Door handles made of pot metal, breaks often. 14 mpg city/22 highway. Drive shaft, brakes, elect fail. Ford has no body parts, when found, are high bucks! My 4 door Buick Ultra v6 (blown) is faster, Mark ran 14.72 quarter mile. Buick Park Ave 14.38. What next will fail, air ride, neon tail lamp or HID lamps. My Collectors Edition is parked, may bring $ 1 day.
don't be deceived by looks

This car is poorly designed. The caps to the coils are now splitting after 76K miles requiring the entire coil to be replaced because of a design defect and a $5.00 part. The car sometimes acts like the starter is gone. Wouldn't start for 2 days...on the 3rd day it was like nothing was ever wrong.
