[QUOTE="FORDSVTPARTS, post: 8780343, member: 21307"] Great little cars, Handling is spectacular, brakes are bigger than the ones used on a 2004 or earlier Mustang GT in a car that weighs 1000 pounds less. Very good fit and finish, they have their quirks but then show me a car that doesn't. The clutch issue was with the pressure plate, not the flywheel and theres no issues getting replacement parts for the clutch or flywheel. I drive mine year round in Minnesota and it's now got close to 95k on it and still with the original clutch and I've had no major issues with the car at all. Just minor stuff and maintainance. Average fuel mileage for me has been around 27 mpg and the best I ever recorded was 31 mpg but I've seen people report better than that. Just find the cleanest one you can and go for it, even if theres some stuff you need to fix up it's no big deal as most fixes are fairly simple. DO watch the timing belt replacement, the SVT is an interference engine so if the belt goes the valves and pistons get up close and personal. The belt should be changed no later then 100k in my experience and maybe sooner. [/QUOTE]
