1996 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"GT Convertible: well worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side power mirror inoperable (existing when purchased)
Relay for signals/hazards needed to be replaced ($13)
General comments?
Overall, this is an excellent car for the money. This vehicle is a one-owner, southern mustang that has been well taken care of, so little problems exist. And the car, in itself, is in excellent condition. No major problems exist, except for what's been noted.
The performance is somewhat lackluster due to the weight & length of the vehicle, however the feel and the sound make up for it.
The smaller size of the gas tank and the fact that it's a V8 assumes a gas guzzler car although the car gets about 18 mpg in city/highway driving.
The 94-98 mustang V8 cars are worth the purchase if one can locate a car that's been well taken care of. And like any used vehicle purchase, always reference resources when available.
