1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"Has problems, but is overall a great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission has a quiver in it when it changes gears. Slowly getting worse and cannot drive it in overdrive anymore because of it.
Radiator overheated and cracked leaving me stranded.
Head gaskets got to hot and warped when radiator overheated. Had to be replaced.
Seats are wearing pretty badly. They have foam sticking out where there is a lot of wear.
Convertible top leaks around the doors and around the rear window.
Kind of bad on gas mileage, but I've had worse.
Back seat is very cramped. Many of my long-legged friends cannot fit in the back seats!
It doesn't stop as fast as I would like. I have almost had a few collisions because I underestimated it's stopping time, but I have heard that this is common in Mustangs.
General comments?
I really enjoy this car and, although I have had quite a few problems in the year I have owned it, I think that the problems are due to the poor care it had before I purchased it.
It handles great on curves and is truly a sports car. It's hard to go the speed limit in a car like this!
It looks great and the interior is holding up well.
Overall, I would buy a Ford again and I would recommend a Ford to others. My other car is a Ford Taurus and I love it.
