Favorite Feature:
The good old rear wheel drive configuration with front and rear antisway bars, keeps the handling taught, well balanced, and comfortable.
Least Favorite Feature:
The front bucket seats could use a little more support and a couple extra inches of leg room could help if your tall.
Advice to Buyer:
Look around for the right buy. Definetly consider the optional sports appearance package if buying the V6. It cleans up the looks and handling and makes for a very attractive economical automobile.
Detailed Review:
I wasn't crazy about mustangs till I drove this one. The taught steering, and level cornering is a major plus. The V6 pulls pretty good once you revve it out a little bit, and the 4 wheel discs brakes wont fade. For do-it-yourselfers the rear wheel drive setup affords a lot more room to work under the hood and also helps out the handling. As far as features go the stock CD/tape radio is convenient and solid sounding. The folding rear seatback comes in handy. All in all its a very convenient comfortable car. Two thumbs up to Ford.
