1995 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"A good performance, low cost convertible but also a high cost hard top"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission is crap! It goes, it gets fixed, it goes i,t gets fixed and so on. I must sell it when the warranty goes or I'll have to fix.
Other than that the battery dies for no reason, happens once a year. Nobody can figure that one out.
All in all it's a good car, could be a lot worse, this is about as good as it gets.
General comments?
Seats are very cramped.
It's not all that fast for me but it's more than fast enough for most.
It eats a lot of gas but is good looking, especially with the top down.
To sum it up I should have got a manual instead of an automatic, I'm sure I would not have as many transmission problems. Ford never could make a decent automatic transmishion to save their lives, but all in all it's a good car.
Things could be a lot worse, this is about as good as it gets if you're looking for a cheap low maintenance high performance convertible sports car. But if you can do without the convertible and just want speed get a RX-7, 3000GT or a Supra, they all eat less gas and perform better,
the Mustang still is a loud unrefined sqeaky door American car, but they're working on it :-)
