Not to add more fuel to the fire, but I can recall when the SN-95 first came out in 94 there were also quite a few bugs during the first 2 years that had former fox owners regretting their decisions of letting their fox stangs slip away in favor of the SN-95 because of the very same problems..IMHO no matter what, it usually takes at least 2-3 years before all the bugs are finally worked out on any new model, regardless of make or manufacturer..The build date of my 05 GT was on Febuary 05 and I've had no major problems except for batteries going dead, after setting for more than 12 days..However, I later found out this wasn't because of a defect, it's how these cars are now designed due to the new electronics such as the keep alive memory feature which constantly draws voltage..Since installing a tender charger, I haven't come across any furthur battery issues..It's like Bigcat said earlier, unhappy customers tell 10 people about their experiences and the satisfied ones only mention their's to only one other person or not at all..Personally speaking, the S-197 Stang is the best quality built Mustang that Ford has produced, at the present..
