1992 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"You get your bang for your buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car at 100,000 miles and Overall, I had to replace both head gaskets, which run a little over a hundred a piece.
New radiator at 103,000 miles.
The power window motors are a bit shaky, very expensive to fix.
Small tear in driver side seat.
Replaced both fan belt and timing belt.
General comments?
Ford built one of the best and most affordable and reliable high performance engines when they created fox body mustangs.
The 5.0 motor can take tons of punishment before breaking down.
However, the transmissions can tend to have problems if they are beat on.
Great car for racing and summertime, terrible for winters. Don't even try to drive these in the snow... they won't go anywhere and the salt will rust them out very quickly.
Peformance is great, body is a bit fragile.
Overall, worth every penny... you get your bang for your buck.
