1994 Ford Mustang Pony review from North America

Oh where to start... The engine was the first thing to go. The tiny V6 started burning antifreeze and I had to install a rebuilt engine. That was quite spendy at $3000 (with labor). Shortly thereafter the transmission decided 2nd gear was a luxury I didn't need, that was another $2000 to rebuilt it. Did I mention that I only paid $5000 for the car? Since the Pony already matched it's buying price in repairs it was time for the rotors to warp, another $400. The paint also grew small rust spots all over it, they were easy to clean and cover up, but were still annoying.

The interior and exterior stylings were this car's high points. It's a beautiful car inside and out and people will notice you. Unfortunantely it isn't enough to compensate for the poor construction.

The V6 is WAY too small for this car. It couldn't accelerate up a steep hill at all. I loved the way this car looked, but hated the way it drove. If you're set on buying a mustang do yourself a favor and buy a V8 (GT or Cobra or more recently Mach 1). I feel that all of these problems were due to the fact that the engine and drive-train weren't powerful enough to accommodate this car.
