2005 Ford Mustang V6 Deluxe Convertible Reviews

This is the second Mustang I drove and hopefully the last one.  I was on a business trip in Iowa with lots of freeways in the middle of nowhere.  Perfect for "test driving" a car that doesn't belongs to me.  At the desk, they handed me the key and to my surprise, it was the brand new design Mustang that just came out.  It was night time and the first thing I noticed when I turn the key was the dials.  It was so much cooler than the old one and any other cars that I drove.  That was a good start considering my last experience with a Mustang.  But the good impression stopped here.  The build quality is the same as the last one.  The ride is the same.  Road noise is very bad and the ride is very harsh.  You can feel the weight of the car even with a power engine and the handling is exactly like the last one.  There is a traction control button on the dashboard.  When I switch it off, the engine light came on.  This car only has less than 1000 miles on the odometer and the rental car company (a very reputable one) suppose to check it before releasing it to the customer.  So I tried switching it on and off a few times to see if there's any improvement but the results is the same.  But at least with the traction control, I don't experience the same wheel spin like I experience with the last GT I drove.

over all great car. Fun to drive.
