test drive: 2005 mustang

[lookout4theyeti]

I went and test drove a 2005 v6 auto mustang today, and to say the least, i wasnt all that impressed.

First of all, the interior..ugghh...the interior. I hated it, to retro, the seats felt too high, like i was driving a sedan, not enough buttons to know how to work anything, and it felt like i was sitting in a box. The steering wheel felt far from reach too.

The exterior...very very nice i must admit. Though i dont like how high the rear bumper seems to be, or how tall the car is. It does have awesome recollections of the 65 fastback, and thats what makes it look so awesome.

Performance wise...it was a drag. Handled really well around turns, but sagged in the back like crazy any time you accelerated just the littlest bit. Pushed 210hp and 240ft/lbs of tq. Didnt feel any faster than my 2000 camaro tho, if anything, it was about the same.

I guess i just expected to much out of it. Owell, i still wanna test the 2005 MGT just to see how that compares

i liked the outside alright, but the interior looked way too cheap

the lthr interior and the iup ( interior upgrade pkg, which is a long story in itself b/c they dont offer it any ) make the inside look very nice.

I thought the '05 look a lot better when it first came out as a concept. It looked SOOOO much more aggressive for some reason, but now seeing some on the roads, they look feminine (No Offense). Anybody else feel the same way?

the new ford mustang is just not what it should be. interior is crap. all the leg and head room problems havent been fixed IMO, the outside is alright without the fog lights or whatever and the back is ugly. ford needs to do something for once instead of trying to make profit off an old look. come up with something new people. if i wanted an old stang, i'd go buy one.
