The capital.

I got it in November when it was still cold. I imagine it would have been a non issue with the heat we have right now.

Mine has about 4,000 miles, and other than the whine, which frankly doesn't affect any aspect of the car, and the slight front suspension squeak (which is also a minor deal and easily fixed once I bother taking it into the dealer), my car's been a beaut. Mine also had pretty gnarly wheel hop which was solved with J&M LCAs for the most part - all the other little things are chalked up to the fact that it's a muscle car.

I love mine to death. And, I average about 20mpg per tank, whereas I'd average about 17 in my 220hp SHO. So... twice the HP, and even better mileage? Works for me.

Build date was aug 2010 and I now have 14k. My clutch sank on me at the track but I haven't had any problems with it since. I attribute the clutch sinking to driver error. I let the RPM's get too high, But it Runs GREAT and STRONG. I did have to have the power seat changed, Motor went on it.

Just got mine today so not much driving time on it. So far so good though...although I need to investigate the A/C...the cold air it blows isn't very cold at all and I've heard it should be pretty cold. This was while it was idle though so maybe driving around is what does the trick...if not maybe something is up with it?

I heard a distinct whine from the passenger side at 125, but I put her out and it's been good since.

Should have traded the other day.




J/K. Sorry to hear about the problem.

Nov 2010 build and 7,111 miles of smiles. I love this car. Only complaint is that i can't keep from rowing thru the gears at 5-7 grand all the time. LOL

I have one of the early 'supposedly dreaded' Job 1 cars (build date around April 2010, maybe somebody can tell me how to find out the specific build date).
Almost 18K km/11K miles so she's not a garage queen.

I've had zero issues with it so far (knock on wood) with the exception of the notchy/noisy/grindy shifting, and a large portion of that seems to have been fixed this past Feb by the fluid change TSB.

I never ever thought I would buy a Ford, and so far this is one of the best decisions I have made. I love this car more than I thought I would ever love a (reasonably priced) car!
Other cars I was looking at were BMW 335i, Mercedes C350, Audi A4... those cars are all more expensive and (according to some) better cars... yet my Mustang consistently exceeds my expectations.
Every time I look at her I fall in love all over again

Agreed everytime I decide to mod it, I drive it and the desire floats away.

Ford Customer Care posted today at allfordmustangs.com that engineering has now admitted there is a problem with the MT82 transmission.

I'm not sifting through 100+ pages of nonsense for a post from FCS. I have better things to do with my time than try and read some of the dribble in that thread. (not taking it out on you Timeless).
