 I have loved and owned Mustangs all my life. I have had a 97 and 96 GT convertible. Out of all the cars I have driven these were overall very good automobiles. Yes they are going to have a few problems. They seem to not have very good radiators because they tend to overheat some.  Other than that Mustangs have overall been pretty good.  Most that have problems with them is because the previous owner has mistreated the car; they are mostly well built cars
