"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 :-)

All the other reviews on the Mustang were good, but yours. I think you got a bad one in the bunch. I had a '94 six cylinder, and a 2000 GT Convertible, both of which I loved, but they were also manuals. Maybe you were right about Ford's automatic transmision.

So, I want to get a sport/muscle type car, and while I have heard mixed reviews of Ford Mustangs, I don't see other options for a real performance car, under 10 years old & 100k miles, for under 10k used.

While Ford cannot compete with Honda for simple reliable commuter type cars, when one is looking for a car with muscle, the choice seems much harder.

The Japanese sport cars are really expensive to buy and maintain and it's not like these machines have the reliability ratings of the Accords, or Civics or Camry. Most start out at %150- %200% the cost of the Mustang, and the same approx gas mileage (give or take say 2 MPG), in addition most incorporate expensive turbos, or exotic expensive to replace/repair engines (300zx, Eclipse GST, Supra, Rx-7, MR2).

It seems in terms of reliable commuter cars, the Honda, Nissan, Toyota are the undisputed winners.

In terms of affordable muscle/sport cars, no car from any manufacturer seems remarkably reliable, or cheap to maintain. Given that fact, the Ford Mustang seems to deliver all the power of the Japanese cars at a much reduced price both initially, and for replacement parts.

So help me out, if Mustangs are not reliable what is a good option?

I don't care what anyone says about 1994-95 Mustangs. I own a 1995 Mustang GT Convertible, and I love it!!! I have never had any problems with it since I bought it, and I don't care if honda's are better on gas or more reliable I still won't own one! I'd rather spend more money on gas and keep my Mustang!!!
