1989 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Reliable car that lives up to it's name, and great on gas!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission is just now slipping. But will still run o.k., you just have to let the throttle down a little to let it switch gears.
Also, I had to replace the timing belt, but wasn't a big deal, nor did it involve a lot of money because the engine was so easy to work on.
General comments?
I love my Mustang. It is my first car, but I have driven many cars. Some worse, some better, but my Mustang is a great in between car. Great on gas, and very reliable. It has never let me down.
