1985 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Fun to drive with a sports car feel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major. Replaced the battery, TPS and alternator.
General comments?
A good car for anyone who wants sturdy transportation with a little excitement.
Accelerates quickly and really likes to go. Fuel injection is good with none of the problems of carburettors of years past.
For a 16 year old car she runs daily and doesn't leak anywhere.
Ford needs to go back to rear wheel drive with the rest of its cars. Compared to my front wheel drive Audi, this car steers much lighter (as the whole drive train is not over the front wheels) and stops quickly.
To sum it up: A great car without the thirst of the V-8, but still with some fun in driving with the V-6.
