1992 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A car for the guy or girl who is looking for a cheap, economical car that's easy on the eyes."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door lock actuator broke at 240,000 km.
Ignition module went at 240,000km.
Paint has been faded since I bought it.
Drivers side window shakes when you roll it down.
Door pins wore out at 250,000 km.
Water pump blew at 271,000 km.
General comments?
Overall, the car is a pleasure to drive. I replaced the ignition module a month after it malfunctioned. Ever since then, it runs great.
It is a gutless car, especially uphill, but that's what I expect from a 4 cylinder motor.
The interior is black and is very hard to keep clean. The leg room in the back is pathetic and is not comfortable, especially for the driver when a passenger sits behind him and and he has to work the clutch with the seat all the way forward.
Trunk space is a bit cramped. When you put speakers in there, don't bother storing stuff in the trunk anymore.
