The 1987 Toyota Celica GT could hardly compete with the 1987 Ford Mustang. While not much changed with the engine of America's favorite pony car, the exterior received a complete revamping. New front and rear fascias added to the aerodynamic look that would remain with the Mustang throughout the late '80s and early '90s.
A 5.0-liter, HO V8 was the top-of-the-line engine for that year, giving the driver 225 horses at his or her disposal. The GT and Saleen trims were again among the most popular for the model year, with the popular "basket weave" wheels on the Saleen continuing to draw admiring glances on the street.

"Overall, drivers have a strong affection for the 1987 Ford Mustang, appreciating its fun driving experience and potential for performance upgrades. Many loved the nostalgic value of their first car and enjoyed its unique look and powerful engine. However, some reported issues with reliability, paint quality, and fuel efficiency. The mixed feelings about mechanical problems dampened the joy for some owners, but overall, the Mustang remains a cherished classic."
Best car I ever owned. I wish I could find another Mustang with the same qualities. The car was so easy to maintain. Oil changes could be done in 10 minutes or less. Brakes were simple. The mustang was also fantastic on MPG.

May 10, 2008I love this car. As far as quality, I think it's amazing. As long as you keep up with basic maintenance, it is bulletproof. And as for fun to drive, stock wise is pretty fun. But slap some 3.73s or 4.10s and it's amazing! Really a first mod that needs to be done type of thing. It'll really wake up the car.
February 19, 2010This is one reliable car. I can't kill it, and I have tried, just about every time I have driven it. Nothing major has ever broken on it except for a coolant hose. It is the most powerful vehicle you can buy from under 2K right now.
January 5, 2010This is By far the Best Car in my Garage. 5.0 Engine, hatchback, black paint, and its a Mustang. Although over 23 Years old, the engine sounds like new, the car looks new, hell, it still smells like new! When i get it registered, it will be the final nail in the coffin for my PT Cruiser.
September 19, 2009Performance was ok:acceleration,braking and handling were all good. Build quality was good. Appearance was good for the interior and very good for the exterior. Mustang LX is a car that needs lot of gas. I had some problems with the engine but transmission was tough. Was very very fun to drive `cause it a propulsion car.
August 12, 2008The paint job is excellent & the seating is so comfortable. Other than that, this car has the best sound system. ;]
