Product Overview
Ford Mustang Mk4 Convertible is a mid-size convertible in production from 1993 to 2005. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.8 to 4.9 liters.
One of the least attractive Mustang generations, the Mk4 Mustang Convertible nonetheless came with some decent engine options. However, they are rather down on power and efficiency and did not compared favorably against its Japanese competitors.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 220L (8cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
