Materials Quality
This is where the Bullitt’s nearly $35,000 price tag starts to look ridiculous. Yes, you get a lot of performance, but there’s no excuse for the poor-quality plastics used in this car. The door panels are hard and cheap, the dash is hard and sounds hollow, the headliner is cheap mousefur, and the pillar covers are poorly grained hard plastic. The Bullitt’s interior “upgrades” are a mixed bag: we like the aluminum shift handle, but the pretend aluminum plastic trim panels on the dash look cheap. There’s an updated Mustang on the way, and we hope that the interior gets a thorough upgrade worthy of this car’s price.
