Comments
"The car has been a total
disaster. Its been in the shop more than out. At freeway speeds,
the car vibrates terribly. Ford says this is normal. The IRS
clunks and pops, the brakes shutter, blue smoke puffs out of
the exhausts when started, many electrical problems including
a burned brake cable, Mach 460 speakers crack, trunk lid is so
badly out of alignment that the dealer can't fix it. I am going
to return the car under the California Lemon Law. (There is a
class action suit against Ford for low horsepower of all 1999
Cobras, ) Ford has yet to fix mine. I will never buy another
Ford product ever again. "

"A strongly recommend the
'99 Mustang if body style and a very smooth ride are important
to you."
Trouble-free: "I
did have trouble with a dashboard rattle but was fixed and [I]
have had no real problems since."
