Ford Mustang Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Ford Mustang rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Ford Mustang reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

We also have some new reliability stats for the Ford Mustang. "Nada-odds" reports the percentage that required no repairs at all, not even a minor one--nada--in the past year, while "Lemon-odds" reports the percentage that required three (or more) repair trips.

Nada-odds     cars per 100 with no repairs (nada) in the past year; 100 is ideal

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Ford Mustang--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Ford Mustang Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Ford Mustang repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Ford Mustang Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Ford Mustang's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Ford Mustang, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

"Why (Not) the Ford Mustang?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Mustang--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Ford Mustang review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Ford Mustang Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Ford Mustang tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Ford Mustang--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
