1990 Ford Mustang Reviews - Page 5 of 7

The only problem I've had with my 5.0 is the transmission.

The car is a sunny day car only, it doesn't see snow or rain. In the summer we take it on trips, and to the drag strip every now and then.

I have added the usual performance products, and the car is pretty reliable.

I upgraded to a Tremec 3500 transmission when the stock T-5 fragged.

The car could be a little more comfortable on long trips, but the thrill of driving it makes you forget about comfort.

Fuel pump.

Tranny @ 103000.

Seats are faded.

Dashboard/electrical problems.

This car is fast, it can kill most cars out on the road. It does waste quite a bit of gas, but that's the price you pay with a V8 5.0.

In my opinion the car's design isn't very good, not comfortable in any sort of way. Even with the top down, this car is made for speed. It's like having a big engine on wheels. I like the fact that I can outrun most other cars in this car, but still, it doesn't outweigh the negatives. Maybe the newer stangs are better (94+).

Also the lack of ABS is disappointing.

The transmission required a rebuild shortly after I purchased the car (due to lack of maintenance by the previous owner / transmission fluid was extremely dirty and burned before rebuild).

I also am experiencing surging idle for which I am currently researching a possible solution.

I have had an obsession with the 87-93 Mustang 5.0 since the age of 11 when my cousin purchased an 89 LX (which he still owns to this day).

At the age of 22 I was finally able to purchase the car that I wanted so badly as a young child.

Now that I have my baby she sits side by side with my 2000 Explorer in the driveway. As the years pass I will have gone through many cars, but my Pony and I will be together until death do us part.

In my short life of 22 years I have owned nothing but Ford vehicles (1998 Ford Contour SE, 2000 Ford Explorer XLT, 1990 Ford Mustang LX). I am and forever will be a loyal Ford customer for life!!!

Throttle position sensor failed.

This Mustang was great... better than any car I ever had. I regret selling it. Fun to drive, reliable, cheap to fix, easy to modify... what more do you want in a car???:)

Well I've only had the car for like 3 days but I love it. The only thing I had to replace was the oil pan, it had 2 small holes in it and of course I gave it a tune up.

This car is awesome!! I've always wanted a Mustang and now I'm hooked. I'm even looking for a '76 Mustang (the year I was born). They are great cars and look good. This is definitely a car I will NOT get rid of!

I'm hoping to acquire more in the future, this is the beginning of a very addictive hobby.

Nothing major. At over 190,000 miles, you expect some stuff to wear out, and that's basically all I've had to replace.

Again, for close to 200,000 miles, and when you take into account that I only paid $3000 for it, this car simply cannot be beat. Yeah, it has some rattles and stuff like that; but all those sounds go away when I press on the gas and am pressed back into my seat. Simply put... I'll always own a Mustang.
