Miles Overview
The 1996 Mustang is Ford's pony car, offered as a coupe or convertible with the GT and Cobra trims leading the performance charge. It's quick and eager, with a rear-drive layout that makes it a blast on back roads, though the light rear end can get squirmy in the wet or snow. The cabin is snug, especially for back-seat passengers, but the front seats are comfortable and the controls are straightforward. Owners mention sagging doors that leak, and the aluminum cylinder heads can spit out spark plugs if not torqued right. The Cobra badge and the 4.6L V8 under the hood set this convertible apart from the GT, with a stiffer chassis and a more aggressive suspension tune to match the extra power. That 4.6L V8 sends 260 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque through a five-speed manual to the rear wheels, making it the quickest Mustang you could buy from Ford that year.
