How reliable is the Ford Mustang?

Thought about buying one bc I love how cool and sporty the Mustang looks, but wondered about it's reliability, longevity, dependability. I also wonder about which is best, Manual, Automatic, V6, V8, etc appreciate any info I can get on these.

Might want to invest some money in a few transmissions because you'll be going through a lot in 2 years

It will be alright if you don't beat on it and garage it same as any other vehicle. I'd expect it to be problem-free for ~7 years or so… Best is an auto v8 for longevity, but that assumes you don't try to abuse it because its faster.

The Ford Mustang is relatively unreliable. If you really want a reliable car then buy a Consumer Reports reliability magazine. That's a lot cheaper than buying a car that will cost you a lot more to keep running.

Mustangs are just as reliable as any other automobile manufactured by Ford Motor Company. Of course, ANY car is more reliable if it is properly maintained and not abused.

The Mustang has been made for over 50 years, so which generation Mustang do you want to know about? There are six basic generations of the vehicle:

1965-1973
1974-1978
1979-1993
1994-2004
2005-2014
2015-2018

Depends on maintenance and how it was driven.

I've driven or owned nearly every make of vehicle over the years. I use to rely greatly on consumer reports for reliability ratings until I figured out that the majority if failures they reported on were by iwners who didn't have a clue on taking care of a car. They once said the 84 Olds Cutlass was the worst used car ever made but I bought a used one and an alternator as the only failure onit. The odometer broke 18 months before I traded it off and it had over 300,000 when it broke. With the mileage I had been putting on it I estimated it had over 400,000 when I got rid of it. I put a lot of miles on my cars but I maintain them well and seldom have problems. I have driven Mustangs for more than 300,000 miles and foung them to be as reliable as any other make. It's all in how you care for the car as to how long it will last. Drive it reasonably, service it regularly and it will provide good service. Drive it hard and neglect the service and it will make the consumers list of unreliable vehicles in short order.
