1993 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Pure American Muscle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch at 115,000 miles.
Resurface rear drums at 112,000 miles.
Ashtray is stuck open (luckily I didn't lose the spring), tough to fix.
Driver side door's power lock acuator is broken.
The rubber around the sunroof needs to be resealed (nothing a little silicone won't fix...).
Driver seat is showing wear, but the rest of the interior is perfect.
General comments?
Fantastic low end torque!!
Simple modifications add plenty of horsepower!
Nice beefy growl out of the pushrod 5 liter.
The interior is nice, a little dated, but nice. However, the stick is in an awkward spot so the taller driver has quite a reach. The dash is laid out nicely, and I love the three knob heat settings.
Doors swing wide, avoid tight parking spaces!!
Fun fun fun to drive! I can't imagine life without my Fox Body! It's a pleasure to be able to go out to my car every morning, turn the key, and hear that deep rumble that produces 205 h.p. and 275 lb/ft torque! it sounds like a beast, and is! City driving isn't the greatest, but get it out on the freeway and one can see why the third generation Mustang has such a following.
Unbeatable styling! Always a head turner!
Not the greatest on gas (I average 20 m.p.g.), but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to roast all those imports! Put premium gas in your 5.0!! It makes a world of difference!
Suspension could be better, but then again by '93 the Fox Body was over 10 years old...
