1998 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"YEEEHAAA"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went out. I lost 5 and reverse. This was shortly after I bought the car. To fix the transmission was expensive. There is a limited supply of parts. The parts are expensive. A used transmission was expensive. That was a big one.
General comments?
This car is a hoot to drive. With the top down, driving on a sunny day, it is nice.
The motor has a sweet sound at about 4000 rpms. 60 mph in second gear makes getting on the freeway a blast.
The car is also not too bad to ride in. The mileage it not too bad either. I had a Buick Regal that only got a mile or two more per gallon that this. This is a lot more FUN!!!
