1991 Ford Mustang LX Hatchback review from North America
"Fun, but requires maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced transmission @ 110,000 miles.
Eeplaced starter @ 75,000 miles
Timing belt broke & damaged a couple of sensors that had to be replaced.
The outside door handles have broken multiple times! I have to replace at least one handle about once a year.
Miscellaneous repairs & replacements for brakes, battery, tires, etc.
General comments?
Fun to drive car, but the maintenance record is not very good. Most major repair was to replace the transmission at a cost of about $1300.
Also has a bad design of the outside door handles (plastic) that causes them to break regularly.
