Mine rattles, squeeks, knocks (not the engine ) depending on the road I am driving on. Smooth asphalt means a pretty silent ride. No 745i, but still pretty quiet.
I don't care... Because when that foot goes down... Oh yeah...

Squeaks... Another reason to indulge in boomtubes
mine has a loud noise when accelerating, wait a minute thats the boomtubes!!!! haha [sm=gears.gif]

Mine never rattles, breaks, squeaks, anything. (knock on wood)

And for the $$$ you cannot really compare our cars and aftermarket to any other.

Absolutely. In today's competitive climate of plush-gush luxo, FORD went out and built a basic real CAR. They deserve credit for that.

I'm sick and tired of those modern cars full of electronics and navigation systems and such. When i drive, i like to hear the engine, feel the auto trans shifting, feel the road...you know....just drive!!

I've had my '07 since May and it has been in the shop twice, once when the back-up lights came on and wouldn't go out and once when the factory battery died, but I still love this car. When I was waiting to get it back the first time (back-up lights) I was pissed and bad mouthing Ford, but as soon as I went to the dealer and picked up my car and nailed thethrottle for the first time all was forgiven. Even though the Mustang has a few faults it is still dollar for dollar the most fun car you can buy on the market. I love mine and plan on keeping it and modding it for a long time to come.

Each time I get in the Mustang it feels like a new car. How many other car owners can say that about their cars?....besides Mustang owners

Part of the whole appeal of the Mustang is that it is for the working man. I mean 300 HP V8for $25,000 is awesome in this day and age. I totally agree with how I love my car for its simplicity...no navigation...no mycolor...all black dash and interior...no "dope" sound system or anything like that. Some of my friends complain about the harsh ride on bad roads, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
