1998 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A good car for the money. No regrets in buying this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spindle and hub right side had to be replaced. Approx: 60,000 miles.
All four O2 sensors had to be replaced at 85,000 miles.
Replaced serpentine belt at 50,000 miles.
I bought this car new, drove it to work for 3 years. Gave to my daughter in high school. She drove it to high school and is now in her senior year college. Very few problems. The car now has 95,000 miles on it.
General comments?
Very good car for the money. Been in the family 10 years. Would not recommend for a first car for teenager. Had to go with BF Goodrich tires, because this car would lose traction in the corners when it rained.
