1997 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering line and power seat were fixed under warranty. Trans grinds once in a while, dealer says its fine. Clearcoat on 17" rims cracking, dealer says it's my fault. Foglite has a water leak, burned out. Clutch is loose sometimes, convertible top is wearing out in a small spot near a crease.
General comments?
I love driving the car, especially with the top down, it handles well for stock suspension, has a nice rumble, but the dealers are the biggest hassle. They are not easy to deal with and make me sick sometimes. Beware, many T45 transmissions grind due to weak synchros, not too good for a muscle/sports car.
