Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: its fast, reliable and handles great
Cons: bad weather driving, blind spots
The Bottom Line: If your after '90s style muscle that is fast and inexpensive, this is your ticket
The first time I ever say the '90 GT that I now own was in my uncles garage. He showed me this beautiful red Mustang with new 5 spoke rims and an exhaust system that sounded like it would make even angels sing. I never thought that it would one day be ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, Roomy, Good Stock Sound System, 5.0 responds well to modifications, aggressive styling
Cons: Squirrely rear end, heavy handling, heavy car
The Bottom Line: Overall recommend, but not recommended for people with long commutes, or people looking for a practical car for use in many types of weather.
Ok first of all this car is not the ideal daily driver. It is a muscle car and it's main purpose is to thrill. It's definitely not the most practical car and all mustangs are infamous for their squirrely back end. Any car with a short wheel base, ... read more

Pros: Fun, parts are cheap and easy to find at Junk yards
Cons: Wiring Problems, Cop Magnet, Automatic
The Bottom Line: I love it, body style not my favorite of the Mustang but much better then the 70's-early 80's. Buy one and have some fun!!!!!!
I bought a 1990 "Wild Strawberry" (what was Ford thinking with that color) Automatic 2.3L Hatchback Mustang with a little over 100,000 miles when I turned 15, three years ago. I had two choices this or a Geo Metro... I'm happy with my car. I have done ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast from the factory, inexpensive to repair and modify, cool looking ride.
Cons: Not the most comfortable ride, can get loud on road trips (depending on exhaust).
The Bottom Line: This car is the perfect fit for anyone wanting a fun, cheap, fast ride, with a definite "cool factor" included. Have fun!
I've owned my Mustang for 6 years and I really enjoy it. It's paid for, so I don't have to worry about a car payment. It's a 5 speed, so "in-town" driving gets old, but once we get on the open road, WATCH OUT! Fun and exciting are the two best words I ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Super fast for a early 1990s production car, Light weight, Price.
Cons: Ford could easily have made this engine produce 300HP and still pass smog regulations.
The Bottom Line: If you don't have a lot of money to spend, but want a car that will get you from point A-Z faster than most other cars, this car is recommended.
If any car deserves the credit for bringing back American muscle car performance it is the Ford Mustang 5.0. Though the Mustang was available in a variety of styles and trim levels, the enthusiast who wanted the most bang for their buck ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, reliable engine, great acceleration, good handling (compared to an SUV)
Cons: poor handling (relative); what traction? poor fuel economy; High insurance premiums.
The Bottom Line: A great cruiser for dry roads. With a little money and elbow grease can outperform cars that cost four times as much.
Hey, it’s fast and looks good – what else could you want? Hopefully, not handling or braking ability. True to muscle car tradition, the last variation of the Fox platform Mustangs were designed to go fast in straight lines and to turn heads, not ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No
Pros: RWD, lots of torque/HP, lots of attention.
Cons: Lots of attention, heavy, horrible on turns and in the rain, crappy brakes.
The Bottom Line: You want good quarter mile times in a car that needs constant maintenance? This car will be fine. You wanna canyon carve in a reliable machine? Get something overseas.
Through a bizarre series of family events, I attained my 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX hatchback for free. I had just got my license a week ago, so I was thrilled to receive such a legendary car as my first car, and completely for free. I mean, you're a 17 ... read more

I bought a 1990 Mustang GT convertible in 1998 to use as a car to run around the island of Hawaii when we are there. The car had about 60k miles on it when I bought it. It is a fun car to drive and the gas mileage is pretty good as well.

I bought this car on a summer day, I was driving to work, looked over and saw it sitting on the dealer's lot. Emerald green, white top shinning in the sun, I fell in love. I pulled in (in a 1989 Camaro). Looked it over, took it for a drive, ... read more

After a disastrous encounter with a drunk driver in 1989, my husband bought this car, new, with the insurance money. Although we thought it was cool when we first got it, we soon outgrew it. Unfortunately, we could not afford to replace it until last ... read more

When it comes to sports cars, you've just gotta go with the legendary Ford Mustang. I've owned the same one since I first got my license, and it still runs like new. Sure, I needed some new tires, maybe a starter, stuff like that, but the engine ... read more
