1995 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Still going strong after 14 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD player on the blink, air bag computer died.
General comments?
OK, I bought this car new, and after 14 years I feel I can comment on it.
Performance is OK, but not really up to par with today’s cars.
Reliability has been good, only expensive part was the air bag computer that died for no reason at all, other than being 14 years old.
I'm on my 3rd set of tires, it has the original paint that still looks shiny, original exhaust and still has the original convertible top, had the drivers seat re upholstered.
That's about it, rides a little rough, but doesn’t have very many squeaks or rattles for it's age and mileage, drivers power seat is getting a little quirky and the stock CD (not mach 460) has been crap from day one, should have upgraded by now, but the wind and exhaust are music to my ears.
It gets about 20-22 mpg on 93 octane gas, can’t use anything less or it pings like crazy, AC still blows as cold as the day it was new.
I bought an 04 GTO couple years ago and let my son drive the Mustang now. I'm still happy with it and plan on keeping it for another 14 years.
