1986 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A very beautiful money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant leak in the engine.
Brakes replaced.
Convertible top has holes in it from a hail storm.
Power windows and locks work at random.
Electrical system needs repaired.
Alternator broke.
General comments?
Very pretty car. Has white interior, red exterior and a black roof. Despite all of the problems, it has been pretty low stress.
Very nice out of the hole, but having only three speeds makes this car terrible for long distance trips.
