1996 Ford Mustang Base review from North America
"Reliable and fun car at a good price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The main things that have gone bad on this car were the usual wear and tear items.
The original starter just went out at 79000 miles.
The head gasket was replace due to the numerous recalls that ford has on them (Cost of repair was covered by Ford)
General comments?
This car has been very reliable and somewhat fun to drive.
Even with the car being driven very hard it still runs like it is brand new.
The two things that I wish for are a little more power (I'll get the GT next time) and also needs a little more leg room.
