I’ve always been a fan of the Ford Mustang, I guess this goes with the territory of having one as your first car.  The late model versions maintain a lot of the original charm I remember from my 1965 model.  You can hear the motor growl from the driver’s seat, the shape of the hood from the driver’s seat is familiar, glint’s of chrome reflect light from the outside of the round gauges, and it gets up to “crusin speed” quickly.  Other features retained are perhaps not so great, it has little creaks (which remind me of the 1965 version, the doors are still bulky and rattle when they close, the back end is still very light, and the car is noisy.

I have not completed an official “ratings scale” at the moment so bear with me as I gin one up.  For the Mustang, I think I’d have to say it’s fun to drive, easy on the eyes but I do not think I’d own one.
