1988 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A high performance cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original radiator blew after 12 years (fairly good if I must say so).
Driver's side seat mount fell into the floor.
Ashtray lid won't close.
Tires don't like to keep their tread (probably my fault though).
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever driven, when you ask for power it opens up and gives it to you. When you mat the gas it feels like you are being pulled through the seat.
And the good thing is they are really easy to get performance parts for.
