I have read quite a few posts of people that are thinking about buying an 03/04 cobra and are hesitant because of the complaints they read on message boards.

Seems that 87 percent rate the 03/04 Cobra a 7 out of 10 or better. Half of the remainder of the votes below that are the typical people that would bitch if you gave them a one hundred doallar bill instead of two fifties. For these type people, there is no such car manufactured and that is a perfect car.

Agreed! I love mine even though it has it faults (rattles strange noises etc) But she still keeps me smiling

The best ford I have ever owned. Could use more sound proofing, but then again I was'nt buying a Towncar. But to all their own.

87 Gt Vert
95 Gt 5spd
98 Gt 5spd
02 Svt Lightning
2003 Svt Cobra, bassani catback (bassani X pipe in this weekend) pro 5.0 shifter, and my CAI should be in today from densecharger.

Yellow Horse I was one of those people. Before I bought mine last month all I did was read about one problem after another from clicking under the hood to IRS problems. But your not going to find a better car for the money. Besides a 03/04 will be under warranty.

I love mine even though it has a few quirks!!

i dont completely agree. Funny to hear this cause the mechanic that does my work was saying the same thing... that the people having problems were the kind that Bitch about every little thing.. HE THOUGHT THAT UNTIL HE BOUGHT THE CAR..

his 03 which is the shops guinea pig needed a new drive shaft and a completely new trans. It vibrated bad and wouldnt shift into 5th with a 500 miles or so on the odometer

I guess many of us..including me have given into the fact that you get what you pay for. You are really paying for the engine....not a quality car..

I love my car for the track, but there are things that would be bugging me if I drove it every day. Sqeeling windows, broken power seat, second pair of leaking foglights and an assortment of other strange sounds... poppin in the rear. etc etc My Volvo (pre-ford) with 230,000 miles doesnt have those problems!

My experiences with the car and with the service have made me think hard about whether or not to buy the Ford truck i was thinking about.. Seems like the quality is better in the truck dept...but maybe thats because of the type of people who own/buy trucks? Maybe they arent as picky about quality?

Lets see... My car was made 07/02, I purchased it 08/02. Thus far I've had the following replaced:

Drive Shaft
Rear End Assembly
Hood Latch
Fog Lamps
2 Drivers side heads

My car has had more than it's fair share of problems...
