1996 Ford Mustang V6 base review from UK and Ireland
"Good 2 door coupe for long distance motorway cruising"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gaskets went at 41,000 and auto box shudder from purchase. This was cured on the second attempt with a complete flush and refill, including the torque converter and cooler.
General comments?
The car seems to be well built, the interior is solid, but there is a substantial amount of noise transmitted over bad roads, not clonks as such, more the sound of the tyres hitting the bumps, its only noticeable on very bad roads though, possibly because the car is poly bushed.
I have changed the stock 15 inch wheels for 17 inch wheels of a 98 GT, and it transforms the look of the car. My car was imported in 2006 from Japan, and is in as-new condition.
