1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"Fast, that's about it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt failure.
Transmission died.
Oxygen sensor failure.
General comments?
I will not buy this car again. Sure it has speed, that's about it. This car is for someone who wants pure speed at a low price. This car allows the average Joe, to own a fast car, and feel powerful.
All bragging rights, nothing more. No space, all lightweight, it might be able to outrun some of the more expensive cars out there, however keep in mind those expensive cars have much better designs, and can balance the car out properly.
I won't buy a Ford again.
