1990 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A great car, solid construction, a real sport s car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing out of the ordinary:
Replaced stock t-5 transmisiln at 78000 miles.
Checked/replaced head gaskets, intake gaskets, and exhaust gaskets at 85000 miles.
New starter and alternator at 90000 miles.
Not the most comfortable car on a long trip (over 3 hours).
Can't fit an infant carrier in the back seat.
General comments?
Great car to play around with on weekends.
Tons of aftermarket goodies to make it really fast.
Love the feeling of being able to pass 98% of everything else on the road (kinda makes you forget about the not so comfortable seats on those long trips).
Sometimes you just gotta roll down the windows and listen to that throaty dual exhaust.
