"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.

Just an update on this pony. She now has 150,000 and still running as good as ever. Buy one of these and you will be a happy owner. They just run and run.

Another update: She has 160,000 miles and still is going strong. I change her oil regularly and don't beat the car to death. Buy one and you will be able to get to where you are going. We have a 2001 Chevrolet we bought new and it won't start at times and GM says "tough, that's the way the theft ignition system works. Just let it sit with the key on for 20 minutes and it will start again" Never had to do that with the Mustang.

Just passed 166000 and still going strong.

Ignition lock cylinder is being replaced, but a 166000 who can complain!

I think if you change the oil regularly in one of these mustangs they will go forever.

Just passed 175000 miles and still going strong. I drive this little pony about 250 miles a week and never a problem. New ignition switch was installed last October and we're off an running again. Never touched the engine, transmission, brakes our such in 43000 miles I have owned the car. Wish I could find another with low mileage and buy it.
