I would say a relatively expensive car built inconsistentlyThe s550 is a cheap car. built cheaply.
it's not fast.
it handles like a tea trolley on an ice rink.
it sounds raspy and does not have the typical yank v8 pushrod sound.
it suffers with lots of issues.
it's not that nice looking.
but it's a mustang. your 50k buys you into the mustang club even though a ford fiesta drives much better
Fast ? It is faster than some cars and slower than others depends what you are after so you can't really blame the car, it is what it is.
Handles like a tea trolley - really? It handles fine (on Magneride in my case) compared to many other cars I have driven. It is a GT rather than Lotus, but certainly not a tea trolley.
Exhaust sounds like a V8 to me
They are actually pretty reliable in general (build quality aside)
Looks are entirely in the eye of the beholder so again not really something you can blame the car for
How do you define the 'Fiesta drives much better' ? I have access to a Fiesta which is a good well built fine handling car but it is a FWD 1.0 5 door not a RWD 450PS GT. Apples and Oranges.
