1998 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Excellent car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My A/C compressor clutch bearings went out and the whole unit was replaced under warranty.
The clutch went out in Jan 2001, but that was after two 1500 mile pulls with a trailer from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale.
Seats have worn poorly.
Driver side tie rod was a problem until a technical service bulletin corrected it.
General comments?
The car delivers more than enough power for merging on highways and passing.
I get at least 20 miles per gallon with a V-8.
The brakes are excellent and I still have the original pads in good condition.
The best sounding exhaust system of any car. The true duals with the h-pipe make a distinctive yet pleasant sound.
A real bargain. Leather, V-8, 17" rims, Mach 460 for less than 20 large.
