About Ford Mustang 1989

This is the best Ford Mustang 1989. Everything from the chassis to the body shell, the interior design, the features, safety equipment and, very importantly, the transmission has been changed. The engines are not all-new but get improvements of their own for improved driveability, fuel efficiency and comfort. Ford says the goal for their R&D Asia Pacific department was to make a 'one-class-above' car based on the feedback from both existing owners of the previous-gen model as well as potential customers of the Ford Mustang 1989. The exterior design may not appeal to everyone, the interior design, space and equipment on offer certainly will. Couple all this with one of the best ride-and-handling packages on any car in the sub-4 metre segment, the Ford Mustang 1989 should feature on top of your list if you are looking to buy one in the near future.

Ford Mustang 1989 Review

Some Mustangs made history for their performance or their looks, but the 1978 Mustang made it into the books for its short-lived production time. The second generation of the Mustang was about to die, and its successor was on the pipeline. But Ford still had to sell the car, even though it was not that appreciated by its fan-base since it was based on the infamous Pinto platform. The Mustang 1978, with its King Cobra version, was not the same thing as the rest of the range. While it looked more like a stretched Pinto than a fastback Mustang, the King Cobra featured some specific design elements. Moreover, it was available as a targa body version, which was considered nicer than the regular, rag-top versions. Its sloped rear end with a tailgate that opened the trunk caused a mixed feeling among its regular customers. But the nicest part of the car was the hood, with its dome in the middle. Inside, the car featured sport-bucket seats for the front occupants and a bench good only to store a sandwich. Ford designed the car to be useful as a commuter car, not a long-travel cruiser. Its wheelbase was way too short for that. Under the hood was one of the lowest-power 5.0-liter engines from its times. The V8 unit provided three ponies less than the European BMW 323, which featured a 2.3-liter displacement. But Ford tried to convince people that the car was sporty and could handle better than its competitors.
