No issuses whatsoever here. Only 'bug' I have found is if you really crank it around in a powerslide with only 1/4 tank or so in it, all the gas can slosh to one side of the saddle tank and throw the gauge off for a bit.

Well besides the poll if you read all the replies, I think most people have had minor to none problems with this Mustang. From what I read it went through some pretty good testing from desert heat to freezing cold in Norway, and as far as I can see besides minor squeaks and rattles the car is built pretty well. I myself have had no squeaks , rattles, no CD problems, nothing break, its still as solid, quite inside, runs as smooth as new. I have 22,000 on her. So I dont see why anyone would be questioning the quality of this car.
You want to read about problems go read through some other car forums. I know I did when I was looking at the 350Z and RX-8. Lets see 350Z had major tire problems, first year, would wear out the front tires , at like $250 a pop, in less than 14k miles. How would you like that? Uh RX-8 uses some oil for the rotary engine, get crummy gas milage like 17MPG or less, Im sure they both have had a few other problems. I read through some BMW forums, was looking at M3's yeah talk about expensive to own and maintain, yep my 05 Mustang looks pretty dang bulit proof compared to some problems other care have.
You really need to read through other car forums to get a good perspective of how well built the Mustang is. Im not saying its as solid as a BMW, Porche or Mercedes, it would have to be way over priced like they are for that, but for under 30K its pretty well built and most anyone that owns one would agree.
