 This is the first Ford product I have owned in 20 years and I have to say that Ford has made serious progress.   I have casually considered GT Mustangs for the past 10 years - I wanted that V- 8 engine - but was put off by many things.  Among other things, the poor quality and ergonomics of the interior, the cheap black side mirrors, and rather bland handling.  But I guess Ford finally listened to Consumer Reports.  The interior is 200% improved over previous models and they finally put body-colored side mirrors on the car.  The handling, however, is what really shocked me.  It is on par with my Acura TL.  The engine, of course, is what this car is about. It will not disappoint.
