Not a bad review. The back-handed compliments in the first third of the article got a little old. It sounded as though the writer was reluctant to admit that he was writing about a great car.

C&D is NOT anti-Mustang. In all their reviews over the last 5 years, they always seem to want to like any Mustang that they test. But they are being honest. Us Mustang fans tend to get blinded and overlook the shortcomings that Mustangs have. We should be a bit more honest in our assemsment of Mustangs. Over the past decade Mustangs have really been behind the power curve in the automotive business in terms of handling, ergonomics, ride, comfort, build quality, squeeks & rattles and until the '03 Cobra raw HP.
