1998 Ford Mustang V6 review from North America
"Runs forever, fun to customize!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only minor things like a drive belt, and the passenger window not rolling up correctly. Nothing that ever left me stranded.
General comments?
Most reliable car I have ever owned, and I have owned a Honda. No serious problems in 95,500 miles! I drive it daily and I drive it hard. Still idles silently, sounds better than new with a new Flowmaster exhaust!
Great fun to customize. I have added fog lights, new wheels & tires, cold air intake, Flowmaster exhaust, blue/white instruments, painted interior panels red, installed chrome controls, and more.. it's awesome! Take good care of it and it will last forever.
HOWEVER.. only 150 horsepower with the automatic is almost painfully slow. Looks awesome in bright red paint, but the later 1999 & up Mustangs have much more power.
