1989 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A great first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a power steering leak, but nothing that can be easily fixed. There is a rip in the vinyl seats I have, but I can get that fixed. There also might be a radiator leak, but other than that really no complaints.
General comments?
This car when it shifts from reverse to drive takes a while, but it's an old car so its expected. It handles A lot better than my wifes Toyota Camry, I feel. It also handles really well in corners and it is very easy to commute in. The gas pedal is firm, and it accelerates powerfully with it being a 4 cylinder. They seats are very comfortable, and the air conditioning works really well. This car also gets really good gas mileage.
