1994 Ford Mustang GT Coupe review from North America
"This car is one of the most reliable cars that I have ever owned."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The stock fog lamps have a tendency to
crack over time and cause water leaks.
I believe there is a flaw in the way
they designed the lens and holding
bracket of the fog lamp that causes it
to crack over time.
The power door locks also fail over
time, which means you will need to
manually lock and unlock the doors.
This is typical of many Ford vehicles.
This is probably also the result of
poor design in the door actuator or
the wiring associated with it.
General comments?
This car is very fast and fun to drive! The power of the 5-liter engine is only enjoyable with the a stick shift. The exhaust system produces
a nice, powerful tone, especially when
you hit the accelerator.
The body style is very nice. The wide body and long hood give the appearance of a large sports car. It has a nice
interior too.
The front seats are comfortable, and
do not have the low-seat feeling that
most sports cars are supposed to have.
The back seats do not offer enough
head or leg room for grown adults.
The suspension on the GT is very stiff and the ride can be very harsh on bad pavement. The ride is only smooth of
the road is smooth.
Overall, it is a very reliable car with a strong Ford V8 engine that is capable of getting over 275,000 to 300,000 miles.
This car is a real gas guzzler, so you
pay a lot of money at the gas pump. The cost of insurance can be very high for young drivers and people with poor driving records.
