Is the Ford Mustang ideal for long trips?

Whether it is or not, it's still one of my dream cars.

Nope, they have a stiff suspensions and loud interiors and were never designed for long trips. Ideal is a Chrysler 300 or Lincoln/Cadillac type sedans.

Yes, Ford Mustang is suiatble for long trip.

Limited trunk space and virtually no back seat room. Plenty of stretch-out room for front passengers. Enough substance and good aerodynamics to avoid being blown off the highway by a passing bird. Plenty of power - even with 6 cylinder - for effortless cruising at interstate speeds. And good stereos!

A lot nicer than some tinnie rice grinder that's clapped-out at 50 mph… Trouble-free rear drive so if something does happen on your trip, easily fixed anywhere.

added: yeah, I want to be in a Citroen Picasso diesel in the middle of nowhere looking for fuel, parts or a French mechanic cuz I'm clueless.

If you like paying for gas, yes. My preferred mode of transport is a Citroen Picasso diesel. 60 mpg plenty of room and will cruise at 70 mph all day.

We rented a new Mustang convertible for our vacation last winter. Thought it would be a cool ride in Hawaii, but ended up HATING it! The windshield is tilted back too far to make it difficult to get in or out of the car. There's no back seat leg room, so it's strictly a two-person vehicle, and even with a V-6 engine, the fuel mileage sux!

Sure… For one or two people and with limited luggage.

But there are far better vehicles for road trips, especially if there are 3 or more people in the car

I have driven many long trips in Mustangs. One trip was 500+ miles in a 95 Cobra R in the summer. It was hot and stiff riding and not even a radio but an absolute blast of a trip.

Depends on your ideals. I'm perfectly comfortable driving driving 300 miles in the morning, then driving back home the same day. My wife says the ride is too stiff, would rather ride in my 20 yo 2500 Ram.

  • Is it safe to drive a ford ranger on the freeway for long trips? Can a ford ranger safely sustain speeds of 85-90 mph without any problems at all? I'm looking for a pickup truck that can haul stuff and is good for driving off roaming occasionally but I also what a pickup that has good performance as well. My question is can a 2007 ford ranger XLT 4.0 v6 5 speed manual sustain speeds of 85-90 mph or is that pushing the limits of this truck?
  • How long will my 2005 ford Mustang v6 last? I have 81500 miles on it now never replaced anything other then regular maintence such as oil change every 5k and did a tranny fluid change at 75k. I try to keep rpms under 2k I have overdrive on it! And i'm not a speed freak because of gas milegae! About twice a month I'll race someone at a red light! I have a cai, headers, exhaust! I'm thinking I can get around 150k put of it before a major repair any ideas on this?
  • 2015 Ford Mustang Fastback V6 or the 2015 Ford mustang 2.3L ecoboost? I'm trying to decide which of the two to get I heard online the eco boost is surprisingly a little faster then the V6 edition. it gets roughly 4 more MPG then the V6. the ecoboost will be about 1500 more then the V6 fast back lets assume its going to be my main vehicle. which one should I get and why? And which is superior? Your thoughts please. I'm not a gearhead so don't get too technical on me without using things I'll understand lol
  • 2013 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 or 2015 Ford Mustang 5.0? Looking into buying a mustang this summer. Really looking into the new models, but am also loving the BOSS 302 model… To my understanding people are saying that the 2015 mustang is basically a Boss 302 but even better. Of course thats one pro for the 2015 model, but at the end of the day… A Boss 302 is a Boss 302… No other one like it. Would just like to hear opinions or thoughts on which car would better or which car do hardcore mustang owners prefer?
