One Year +

I got my 2005 Redfire V-6 Mustang a year ago March 14.

Dislikes: 1. Cloth seats don't wear well.
2. Trunk lid needs a handle.

Likes: Everything else! I love my car! I love my car! I love my car!

Did I mention that I love my car?

I've had my car since 11/04, so that's right at a year and a half.

I put exhaust and wheels on at 500 miles, a CAI and tune on at 2,000 miles, blower at 7,000 miles, another new set of wheels at 9,000 miles, and just rolled 10,000 miles last week.

This car rocks.

10,000 miles in a year and a half? Man, I've put almost that much in 6 months, but I have to commute a LOT. I love to drive though, so no skin off my back!

And by the cloth seats not wearing well, I think he means they don't handle normal wear very well.

The 22nd of this month is my one year birthday for mine. It runs perfect accept for the 30sec of startup noise when it’s cold. Been to three dealers for the problem, all say it’s normal, I’m actually getting used to it.

My seats were Scotch-Guarded three times before they began
to resist water stains. The main problem is that the fabric on the
left side bolster of the driver's seat has wrinkled up and the high
points of the wrinkles are starting to wear. I'll keep an eye on it.

Upgrade to leather.
