1996 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Due to all the problems with this car it has spent more time in the shop than I have spent driving it. It has been in the shop multiple times for transmission problems, it has a weak clutch and a weaker transmission.
The service that the factory warranty provides is a joke, it has so many stipulations that if you drive it it voids the warranty and you have to pay to fix it.
The computer has also went out a couple of times (or that is what they said to squeeze more money out of me?). And 3 02 sensors.
If you want a car with good performance that is cheap, shop for a different car.
General comments?
If you want a 94-98 body style Mustang, go with a 95. I had one before a driver too old to see the stop sign took it from me.
