1992 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"This is a rock-solid car with a wimpy transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had trans serviced at 110,000 miles.(AOD trans is known to be wimpy)Other than that only normal maintenance.
General comments?
This is a good car! It handles well, gives a solid ride and been more reliable than I could have hoped. Nice motor, and although underpowered it is way better than the carbureted 2.3's were before. (105h.p. versus 88) Quick steering, and pleasant fox-chassis response. Ford has a nice underrated rack and pinion on all these cars. Solid rear-drive reliability. Useless trunk-fits like a hat or something in there. Good controls lifted from the Taurus. All in all, the early 90's cars were the best of this model. All the bugs were worked out. They had fuel-injection, dual-plug ignition, coil-packs instead of distributors, and mine is still rattle-free. I did upgrade the radio and speakers though. So you get simplicity, durability and some modern electronics to make it run better. But of course these Mustangs are terrible in snow without tons of weight in the trunk, but I have fun with that!
