1994 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Huge failure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 135000km and took the engine with it. Repairs would cost $4500; about the current value of the vehicle.
Excessive road and engine noise was always a problem.
General comments?
Excellent gas mileage. Comparable with my friends four cylinders.
Great handling and sufficient power.
Absolutely no other repairs besides regular maintenance until head gasket blew.
Extremely disappointed with Ford's response to well known 3.8L V6 head gasket problem.
I will likely be purchasing a Toyota Corolla or Nissan Altima.
