  • Very Dependable and Fun to Drive - 1996 Ford Mustang
    By -

    Ive had this car for almost 7 1/2 years and have never had any mechanical problems with it, other than regular maintenance. It looks good and is fun to drive.

  • My Poor Mustang - 1996 Ford Mustang

    I bought this Stang 7 years ago and always kept it well maintained until that dreaded day when I let my 16 year old drive it 10 days after he got his license. Well ill tell you something he hit a telephone pole and pushed the engine darn near into the passenger compartment and walked away with minor injuries so I rate it safe. What a great car. I never had a major repair done in 7years. The only rpoblem was the excessive wear on the tires. I seems I replaced them every 18 months.

    I bought my 1996 mustang Gt last summer and so far its great no problems at all. Its a very fun car to drive. Only problem for thoughs who live were theres snow, you cant drive them in the winter so be prepared to by a cheap winter car.

  • Expensive to own - 1996 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I love my mustang but am virtually forced to sell because I cant afford the monthly repairs this car requires. The car is high maintenance and it would be one thing to repair it, but it means you have to go to a ford dealer and sit there in wait hours with other ford owners. Trust me, its not fun. $300+ monthly maintenance bills. Mine has sit in my driveway for 4 months without moving, because I couldnt afford to fix it for a while.

  • Happy as can be expected - 1996 Ford Mustang
    By -

    I was real impressed with this car the first time I drove it. It is much more comfortable than a camaro, in interior design and ride. The design is much more inviting and the seats, which may not slide back for enough offers a very relaxing feel. The car lacks in horsepower, but still has enough power to make me smile when I nail it. Gas mileage is unimpressive, but on the highway on long trips, it is much better than expeceted, in the mid 20s. The noise level is very low. Overall, I think it was a good buy, especially due to all the heads it still turns, even at 6 years old with 90k.

    A great summer car that rides and handles very well. The V6 could use more power but that can be cured with dual exhaust and intake upgrades. This car seems prone to electrical problems. In the past 8 months it has had 2 major (vapor canistor sensor, ignition coils)and 1 minor (cruise control) electrical problem. Harmonic vibration at around 60mph/100kph.
