Hello Mr Scotty . Do you suggest a good mechanic in Houston to replace a starter on my 2012 Honda accord,Thank you in advance
That's because V6 engines are the most reliable engines you can get. I mean look at Toyota and all they make. That's why most of the cars you see on the roads have a V6
No one is buying them in the outskirts of Texas😂
When I was in high school, the stock 5.0 only had 225 horses and we weren't complaining that we didn't have 800 horses. These kids nowadays 😂
Most people can't even handle 300 HP responsibly so idk why people get upset about 200-250
Those 5.0 great cars ! I had 2 lol
"Kids nowadays" 🤣🤣🤣
Today's kids should've lived through the 1970s and early 1980s when the early EPA-choked smog motored cars averaged about 1/3 hp per cu. in. A "performance" engine could get 1/2 hp per cu. in.
Oddly enough, those smog motors still moved along well enough but, they ran out of steam at around 3200-3800 rpm. I remember my Dad's 1978 Buick Electra with the Buick 350. It was surprisingly peppy and responsive but, it was all low end torque and numerically low gearing. It had this quiet effortless acceleration but, it didn't like it when you wanted to rev it past 3600 rpm.
And those old pushrod 5.0s were easy to modify cams heads and intake manifold and your making 400 hp ,also you could take it step further with a 347 stroker kit and make 500 hp
The car owner was smart to have bought a warranty and fought to have it honoured , nice going guy
Well ... not that smart.
He spent $2500 when he could have fixed that squirter for $30 parts and 30 minutes.
exactly what the guy below me said. what's your time worth? the dealer model needs to be eliminated in the united states. it's the only place in the world that is this silly and soul-sucking.
Not smart the dealer wanted a commission and pressured him to buy it
@@twrcrew8852
Well .. our health insurance model is NOT silly but definitely soul-sucking.
It’s a Ford… good job buying the warranty
I’ve got a 2011 mustang 3.7 v6 absolute best car I’ve ever had. Original engine, transmission, rear end even all the sensors are original. The only thing I’ve done besides routine maintenance is replaced the water pump the infamous fuel filler neck, the alternator and the starter it’s a damn good car. I should mention it also has 250k on it.
I have a 2011 pony black like this one with 14K miles yes 14,000 i got it new lol
And it sounds very good too!
@@hardtimes1132 a v6 mustang? 😂
The annoying part is the time and effort he had to expend to make sure they backed up the warranty. I thought (and maybe the dealership hoped) when they said it will be $100, he would say fine just to get it over with.
@@2seep fuel economy
In 2009 we bought a 1999 V6 Mustang Convertible with around 88,000 miles for our teenage daughter. It had been owned by an adult and our mechanic said it was it fantastic condition. Just needed a few minor repairs. She drove it for 5 years, then we upgraded her to a nice used Toyota RAV4. Passed the Mustang down to her brother and he drove it several years. It’s been a great vehicle. It currently has 133,000 miles and my husband and I love driving it on nice days.
Keep an eye for oil in the water. It's the lower intake gasket. It will last at least 300k miles, mines at 260k.
Shoot I’ll do you one better. My brother bought a 99 v6 at 316k miles. Absolutely by no means is it in perfect condition, but it will get you to point A to point B no problems, has yet to show any warning signs of catastrophic failure
I love my 2015 v6 Mustang. Plenty of power and fun enough to make the drive back and forth to work every day enjoyable.
Nice. I love my 1967 Mustang fastback with a 347 stroked motor.
Yeah the 3.7 is great
Just bought a convertible 2015 v6 2 weeks ago and when I first drove it I knew it had enough power so fun to drive in sport and the gas mileage is amazing I made a great choice great balanced vehicle
I have a 2016 v6 stick shift and I’m happy with it ❤
Thanks Scotty for reviewing the Cyclone 3.7L Mustang! I asked you a few weeks ago to put it on your to do list and you are quick! I bought mine in June 2022 (2011 premium MCA Auto 129k miles $6k) and I giggle every time I zoom to 100mph! Talk about a cheap thrill! Couldn’t be happier! Great review!🎉
I got a white MCA black leather interior 6 speed manual. I love it. Just got back from a 2,500 road trip. She’s got 72k on the clock. I love it. I’ve had many cars, this one’s a keeper. 😊
My wife’s car is a 2014 Mustang Convertible Club of America edition with the V6 Automatic. Bought it used at only 14k six years ago. Still looks great and only 51k on it. Plenty of power when you need it. She still loves it and it has been a champ on the road. Excellent car ! 👍👍👍
A non V8 mustang is always a smart choice, especially the newer V6 models. When I was a young man I had a 1979 notch back with the 2.3, 4 cyl, 4 sp & I couldn't have been happier with the gas mileage, the looks, basically the whole package & with a little tuning I was able to get it to chirp 3rd gear easily!
It was also true that they last longer by not being an eight cylinder. I being the last owner of this bought new family car had 495,000+ miles on it with the carburator being the one big ticket repair to the engine & just regular maintenance on the rest of the car like water pumps, clutches, tie-rods, brakes etc.
High mileage cars doesn't matter, as long as they were maintained. I prefer all my cars over 200k miles, because most of them have already had their maintenance.
@@hoopty. At that mileage, wouldn't the engine wearing out be a concern?
@@silent_anon404 at 500k, that engine most likely has been rebuilt, as most likely the transmission, maybe even the differential. The thing is, if a high mileage car is still on the road being driven, odds are good that the owner has taken care of it by properly maintaining it. Most of these owners will keep some sort of records or proof of the maintenance, which is what you want to ask for.
The basket case lemons that are high mileage, tend to be around 200k mile survivors. These are the cars that somehow managed to make it this long, and the new owner finds themself having to do absolutely everything to the vehicle, as everything suddenly begins to fail while in their care since the previous owner did not. 200k mile cars may be just as good at that 500k mile car, so long as they can prove they took care of it.
Although it's kinda the women's version of a Mustang. But you can always slap a Vortex supercharger on it, have more power and still get better gas milage than a V8.
This 6 cylinder mustang is a long, long way from the 91 horsepower of the I-6 mustang I bought in 1980. With a 5 speed manual, it got 30 mpg on the highway and managed around 20 in town, driven calmly.
My dad bought an '80 mustang "hatch-back" that year as well! Looking back, it's sad that Ford would take such an iconic car and make it into a hatchback like that. Regardless, it was a fun little car to drive! I got my learners permit in '80, so it was basically drive that little thing, or my mom's '75 Impala. The later was a boat! Had bench seats up front though, so it was great for parking with my girlfriend a year or 2 later!
The guy made the right choice going with the V6. I spent the last few years looking for a 98-02 Trans Am. The vast majority of them were either way to high in price or POS that were beaten and had well over 100k miles...and they still had high asking prices.
So I decided to look for a well maintained low milage 98-02 V6 Firebird, as I felt I'd get more bang for my buck. I found a red 1998 W68 Y87 t-top Firebird with 88k miles on it. The couple owned it for over 20 years, drove it only on nice summer days and kept it in a climate controlled garage.
The car has zero rust anywhere on or under it. It's completely stock, but being that is a Y87 it has chrome rims, Trans Am suspension, Trans Am steering rack with air damn, dual exhaust, posi LSD and a flawless gray leather interior. There's no cracks on the dash nor door panels. The cars looks like it was built yesterday.
I had two V6 mustangs a 98 And a 2000 both manual transmissions. I loved them! Great cars and so fun to drive and as good of gas mileage as my current minivan.
Yeah, but the GT with the V8 would have been a lot more fun. Buying a used car with a lower trim makes sense, but when buying new, I'd only buy a model with the best trim, otherwise I'd find something else.
I bought my 2012 v6 mustang used for 14k and I like it good gas, fun to drive and came with so many extra things(Becuase I was going to get a Toyota Camry but from the same place c
Carmax and a camry or corolla was like 5,000 more and would have come with less things.
OOOhhhh! I wish my 2006 had a manual trans but I don't think they offered that in the 2006 V6. Might look into that.
I bought both of my mustangs new and that V6 had plenty of power especially as a manual transmission. Gosh I miss those stangs
My cousin in high school had a v6 mustang 98 and it was slow and terrifying and couldn’t go anywhere in snow
Rented one recently, and man, I would LOVE to have one. It was a blast to drive. It was the v6, plenty of get up and go. Sounded great, too, really throaty for a v6.
I had a 2006 Mercury Milan V6 that I just loved. When Ford quit making the Mercury brand, and making cars in general, I was bummed. Haven’t bought a Ford product since. 🚘
Consider yourself lucky. Ford builds junk trucks and cars. Ford spelled backwards =. driver returns on Foot.
@@ricktaylor3748 I’ve never had a problem with Ford cars. I had nothing but problems with Chevy’s so I don’t buy those either and haven’t since 1989. I had almost 250k miles on my 1999 Mercury Mountaineer and Mercury Milan. They were both good vehicles for me.
My '15 V6 has 209k miles on it. Still runs like a champ. I've had a couple issues with it over the years but overall a great car.
I've had three Mustangs since 2011, all three including my current one had the 3.7L V6. It's a great engine that I've never had an issue with any of them. Ford made a big mistake getting rid of it just to push the 4-cylinder turbo, which is the main reason I haven't purchased a new one. Also, Scotty, just so you know, Ford stopped using the V6 after the 2016 model year.
I believe 2017 was the last year they used the V6. (I'm in the market right now).
@@stevechance150 you are correct because I bought a 2017 v8 and that was the last year for the v6
I have a 2017 v6 mustang
@@stevechance150 it’s a great car!
Exactly!!! At least keep the V6 option.
The only non mechanical things I’ve replaced on it are the power seat track, AC actuator has also been changed. I also had a problem with the squirter except it was the line not the motor, it was replaced for free. My Ford dealer is run by good people. It had a recall on the throttle body and both airbags. Besides these things it’s all original and has nearly 250k miles on it and is still driven daily everyday, I wouldn’t be afraid to drive it anywhere
What year? V6 or i4 mustang?
@@samueljordan5601 2011 V6
Thanks scottie for confirming my good choice. I went w my gut and went with this over the eco for that same reason. It felt like a maxima. The v6 just felt like a more solid drive out the gate.
Also thanks for settling my doubt about the v8.
Scotty, I can say 100% I've had the same experience at my Ford dealer. Absolute shame as I love my Mustang, but they repeatedly have tried to charge me when I have the extended warranty. You just have to stand your ground and politely say no, sorry, that makes 0 sense you're charging me when I have the warranty. It's worked every time for me but it is incredibly annoying.
It's because they can get double the money for the repair if they can dupe you into paying for it. They still charge against the warranty and then they charge you too.
Not sure how they make it come out on paper though.
I want a 5.0 Mustang. Nothing like a V8 engine.
I test drove the 5.0 GT with the updated 450hp. It felt faster than my old built LS1 Trans Am. The V8 sounded nice too.
But it's definitely too much power for the street. It's perfect example of 'driving a fast car slow'
When you're secure with your manhood, it doesn't matter.
@@mikeross111 Be secure in yours. Thank you for your input.
@@Argedis It's how you drive. And last I checked you don't drive fast on the street anyways. Interstate, yes. Street, no.
yep i was like why no one want a v8 , had a 14 then got a 20 both 5.0 gas in city alway above 20 hwy above 25 driving normal , id opt for the v8 all time , get a 10r80 thou
Amazing how educated you are, I just recently bought a 2020 5.0 with the 10 speed and yes gear hunting was a huge issue no matter what mode it was in. Had to get it tuned to solve the issue and the 10 speed with a tune is a beast.
I would buy a Mustang with the 3.7 provided it had the manual transmission, had been maintained, and hadn't been seriously wrecked. The water pump on the Mustang was different than the one on the FWD cars. You didn't have to pull the engine to replace it.
You are describing my 2014 convertible. I installed a stiffer aftermarket transmission bushing and shifter bracket which helps alleviate the high RPM shift difficulties some have experienced. Very fun and rewarding car.
2014 Mustang GT convertible…. A quick car & wonderful summer cruiser ! The 5.0 V8 is sweet… and the exhaust sound is incredible.
I drive the EXACT same car, engine and transmission too so I basically just watched a Scotty video about my own car 😂
They are trying to scam people who don’t know any better…these dealers should be ashamed of themselves
And of course they’re going to say oh well we didn’t know or forgot about individuals who have warranty..(YET it’s in the computer on the main page when u pull up individual name!!)
They’re collecting from those who remain silent!
had a 2009 for 13 years bought new traded it in with 197000 on a v6 motor great car...have a 2015 v6 with 97000 miles on it looks great runs great
I had a 2005 Mustang with a 4.0L and it was a great vehicle. The only problems I ever had was ever winter I had to buy a battery and the throttle by wire system was always acting up.
I can tell a difference even without badges. The GT looks beefyer.
Got the 3.7 flex fuel in my Ford F-150 4X4... torque to spare, runs strong...I can imagine how strong it would run in that light Mustang configuration.. Nice Vid Scotty. You covered it all and touched all the bases.
Introducing Ford's bulletproof V6 into the iconic Mustang is a stroke of genius.
Unless it's that german build Colone engine.
I wouldn’t say it’s bullet proof. Can’t tell you how many valve trains I’ve rebuilt on the V6.
I have a 2013 Mustang V6 with 172k (mostly highway miles) with the 3.7 DOHV V6 which has the same engine as my wife's 2014 Lincoln MKX. Both over 300 hp and both still highly reliable.
That's great.
It's good to know other Mustangs have more than my Mustang at 150k hopefully it continues running good
@@christophermunoz2568 my last Mustang made it to 300k before it got totaled.
“I can’t believe Ford is getting rid of this car and I’m mad as hell”
😂😂
Well the future
🤣🤣
I found the best Ford ever made and I am buying one
@@amandeepbaa6978 In the future we might be speaking Chinese at the rate we are going.
Last year I bought a 2015 5.0, standard trans with 5,600 miles. One owner and serviced every 6 months at the good Ford dealer in the area. The oil is so clean it's hard to see the line on the dipstick!
Scotty - Great video!! Only thing confused a little about, was whether model at 5:32 portrayin' rumble seat or solid rear end, both features to be enjoyed I'm sure!!
I have a Black 1999 Ford Mustang with the 3.8L V6 and 5 speed manual stick shift. It's been a great Car and I love it!!!
I only have 125,000 miles on it and it still runs great! So far it's needed very little repair other than normal maintenance.
Bought my 2016 Mustang GT from a local dealership. Took it back to the dealership three times for it going into Limp mode! Started using a different dealership. They were Awesome! I’m up to 51,000 miles now. Bought it used in 2017with 20,000 miles on it. Really enjoy my stand!
My first car was a 67 Mercury Cougar with a 289 V8. It was Ford's fancier version of the Mustang. Loved that car and the end of America as we know it.
Cougar is a rich man's Mustang!
Love a Cougar or Comet..
I had a "69 with a 351 in it ...
Also had a '67, 289 4bbl w/ a C-4...loved it
I’m 20, bought the V6 cause of insurance reasons back in July, had about 85K miles, I LOVE it, granted I have driven it like it’s a 5.0 a few times lol, it’s definitely no slouch, and has that timeless mustang look, plus the engine looks much nicer and doesn’t have the issues as the ecoboost does
Nice looking. Glad to see its stock.
Nice car video. Your video made me want to go for a drive man! I have the 2006 version Premium Pony Package V6 with leather silver + black. Stock 210 HP. added a few mods (CAI w/forced fresh air, 2" throttle body extension, dual exhaust w/x-pipe, high flow cats, Firewire set w demon coil pack) for a tested @ 255 HP. Stays in the garage most of the time. BUT WHEN THE SUN COMES OUT - MUSCLE COMES OUT TOO haha!!! I get a lot of compliments when driving around town. All that to say GOD COMES FIRST!!! The Mustang is just a gift to borrow for a while and someday it will return to dust.
My brother-in-law had a 5.0 cobra from 1995. Only had like 245 hp or something like that. Felt super fast back in 1995.
I got a v8 11 mustang with 44k guy who had it before me was in the military so he didn’t drive it much it’s in pretty good condition only issue I have as of now is a axel vent leak and a small transmission leak otherwise it’s pretty solid I personally think if you’re getting a mustang get a v8 that’s the whole point of a mustang in my opinion
Right on the spot. The v6 is the best deal. A shame dealers are now stealers. That will take sometime to fix, but soon dealers will learn their lesson.
A big point Scotty missed was the monthly insurance premium will be a lot lower with a V6 as well
Outstanding video and presentation
Those things are amazing in the snow too.
You know your stuff scotty always great advice!
Hello Scotty I have been watching your videos for a long time. Very infomative. I own a 2012 Ford Mustang Premium V6. The former owners took excellent care of this car. Always had the car serviced at mileage intervals. In excellent mechanical shape for a Mustang that has 128,000 miles on the speedometer. Have only owned this Mustang for a few months now and I can honestly say I do love driving it in city and on the highways here in Arizona. I am getting 22 mph city and have received 32 mpg highway at times. The car drives as if it is new. I can honestly say with reasonable preventative care the Mustang should give me years and years of pleasurable driving experiences well beyond 128K. I am looking at the 3.7L 305HP engine lasting for 200,000 to 300,000 miles with regular maintenance. Thankyou for all your help advice and videos. Bruce H Wallman
I have bought a 2007-2013 mustang for all 3 of my sons and a 2009 gt for myself and they have all been great cars.
Got a Mustang GT/CS ‘17 and a Tacoma. As always, thanks for the valuable info!
Nice smooth shifting, just like my 2013 Focus. Glad Ford's got their transmissions figured out.
I juts got myself a v6 4.0 mustang !!!!! It's a manual transmission too!!! I'm glad you made this video !!!!!
I own a 17’ v6 and it’s amazing. I couldn’t afford a V8 and I didn’t want an ecoboost so I bought the last year model v6 and have been satisfied a year and a half later
how many miles did you buy it at ?
@@LaRae5 19k miles. It’s like 47k now or something of the sort. Still zero issues
Love my 2013 mustang... Got it with 94k just turned it to 101k.... It's a great car and have had no problems.
Great video!
They have their own diagnostic system! The premium trim level has an 8” screen. Mine Isa manual transmission too. If you beat it up it won’t last if you periodically open it all the way it’s beneficial.
Thank you Scotty for this video because i was looking to by a modern mustang not new but between 2017-2020 so if i get one it'll be a 6 i just want it to ride around town so thank you for you advice
I bought a new 1988 Mustang Hatchback, and I drove it for 12 years (127,000 miles). I bought it new for $9,500 and sold it for $10,500. I loved it, and did my own tuneups, oil changes, etc.
I had to 5.0 V8 Mustang GT. Bought them both from the adult original owners. One was a 1988 with 68k miles and the other was a 1990 with 55k miles. Both were extremely reliable. It only had 225 horses, but nothing beats the V8 sound. The new V6 models are quick, but they just are not V8's.
Torque is all.
Had a similar experience with our local Nissan Dealer.
Purchased a new 2011 Titan SV with a prepaid maintenance service agreement, and had to constantly fight the dealer over honoring it ever time it needed service. Never again.
Shame that vehicle manufactures cannot, or at least will not regulate dealerships to protect brand loyalty.
Living in Hawaii we have a limited selection of dealerships to choose from, and they are incredibly difficult to negotiate with. Especially now.
Still driving my Titan around, and will continue doing so for as long as i can.
I lived in Hawaii and I agree with you. I bought 2 cars living there… the second one I shipped it to state of Washington since I moved out of the islands
I had a 1986 stang with 2.3 four banger ,bullet proof,34 mpg drove 222 miles a day 5 days a week great little car.
Some people are star struck and want nothing more than to meet their favorite celebrities. Or maybe a powerful politician. I can honestly say I don't care about any of that. However I would love to meet Scotty. He is hanging out in my living room almost daily. Offering up good advice. Sometimes teaching me something and often cracking me up. I will probably never go back to Tennessee and I have absolutely no reason to be in Rhode Island. But if I ever do you can bet I will find a reason to have him look at my car.
I have my 2010 V6 4.0 and I love it I've had it since March 2018 got it with 76k miles now it has 129k miles. Sometimes I wish I would've got a 5.0 or 4.6 V8 but they are more costly to maintain and gas is expensive so I think I made the good choice when I got it 😂 I was 19 at the time
I've had 4 Mustangs, my 2004 was my only V6 and it was the best mechanical compared to the three V8's. I put over 200k miles on the V6 and it was still running strong when I got rid of it.
The Cologne 4.0 was super reliable but not more than it's V8 counterparts..
The 3.8's in the 2004's (technically a 3.9 for that year only) were shitty engines. The 4.0 they started using in 2005 was much better.
I have a 2018 Ecoboost Premium and I love it. Sure, it doesn’t sound as cool as the v8 but it’s still fun to drive and I have gotten up to 34 mpg on the highway. I bought mine used at my local Carmax with less than 27k miles and it’s in mint condition.
i have as well 2019 eb just bought it, so far so impressed.
I know Scotty hates the 4cyl turbos, i'd like him to assess mine with 115+k miles on it...been in at least 4 accidents ( deers, dog) only mechanical issue was Evap cannister valve replacement...runs like a dream...road races and maxed 120 mph every chance.
I'am on my third V6 Mustang. I have had V8's and they are great but I prefer the V6 for highway cruising. I drive a lot of miles each year and with my current 2014 mustang I average about 30 mpg.
Love my 08 V6 for all the reasons you stated. No major repairs on this 15 yr old car. Never will sell her. I will keep her going even when the day comes something major needs to be done.
Thank you brother
I had a 2014 Manual V6 Mustang and loved it. In 2018, I traded it in for a new 2018 Manual GT, which I love and plan to keep until it drops, or I do.
I have a 13 GT Grabber Blue and I absolutely love it. Borla exhaust sounds amazing. California car. Paid $20,000 cash had 62,000 miles when I bought it. Underside looks mint and drives great. Will never sale it. The V6 might last longer but nothing can mimic the sound of that 5.0
I have a V6… thank you Scottie for putting out a good word for me 😢… 😎
Good job as usual!
Those 05-10 v6 Mustangs are pretty good so long as it has been taken care of like any car. It's no racecar but it's a nice cruiser. Take mine to college and around town, maintain and take care of it. Simple, reliable, easy to work on, plenty of parts. It's a quaint little thing. Just pray for no timing chain issues.
My wife has 2004 v6 convertible trouble free with 120K. I have a 93 Cobra I bought new 26K more than happy!
Had a V6 Mustang decades ago, was one of the best cars I ever owned. High 20MPG, plenty of fun, very reliable and not too much power to get away from you.
The V6 in my 2018 Taurus has plenty of pep and it is the base engine. No turbo
The Autel I have can print report or save data on a thumb drive. Has a bluetooth adapter that goes into the OBD2 port
I have to say that some of my friends laughed of me because I bought a 2015 V6 instead of an ecoboost, now I laugh of them because all their ecoboost mustang are dead or malfunctioning and my V6 still fresh like the first day as I bought it cero malfunctioning cero headaches. 👌👌
love you my sweet V6
how many miles did you buy it at ?
@@LaRae5 when I bought it was 69k miles right now it has 120k miles and still working perfectly I love my car.
Recommended 👌
The entire industry is SHOCKED!
I'm a Camaro guy but same situation. I've had the V6'S. Nice cars, I've had the V8's. Never going back. No replacement for displacement. I buy new so I'm not worried about prior owners.
Just rented a 2022 Mustang convertible for 2 weeks. 2.3 liter eco boost, 10 speed automatic, it was horrible hunting for gears unless like Scotty said changing the modes. But you had to do that every time you started the car.
I have that 3.7L and 6R80 package in my 1961 Ford F100 Unibody.
Scotty please do a video on why the EcoBoost Mustang are trouble?
FIRST NEW CAR WAS A 73 MUSTANG WITH 302 V8. IT DRANK FUEL. 1/4 OF A TANK TO WARM IT UP IN WINTER. ALSO HAD A 79 MUSTANG 4 CYL. THAT FELL APART IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR. NEW 86 FORD ESCORT DROVE IT HOME AND CAR DELIVERED BY DEALER WITH REAR MAIN SEAL OUT. NO MORE FORD JUNK!
My 2010 mustang has 77k miles and runs like a top. No complaints all these years I’ve own her.
Why assume her gender?
@@builttolaugh LOL
@@builttolaugh get over it
Hey Scotty, You’ve sold me on wanting to get a used Xterra, what years should I avoid?
Got a V6 Lincoln car rated at 260hp. Not sure if it is completly different than Ford engines. But around town which is most of my use, it drinks gas like it has a hole in the tank. I had a V6 Ford Taurus and I got to say I think it had better gas mileage with 200 hp rating. And that was around town and to work too. It ran 11 years till I wrecked it too bad.
I bought a new high performance 2.3L ecoboost 2021 mustang in dec 3 2021. I built online. Came in with 7 miles. Bought the extended warranty and you are right about that warranty. A waist of $5000. Never again. I am a courier driver but 75% of my driving is on the interstate of about 150 miles round trip Monday-fri. And 70-75 mi in the city mon-fri. I have accumulated now 110k miles in about 14 months. I do about 70k miles a yr. I havent had any problems with engine transmission or anything. I get my car maintenance at ford faithfully, whenever it needs. Tires, rotation, alignment, whatever it needs. Books says 150,000 miles mark , I need to get transmission fluid change, which I plan. Scotty Kilmer can you shed some light on my vehicle.
Scotty, my 05 GT GETS 22 MPG on the hwy abd 16 around town... not bad, love the sound...
Exactly. Not all V8s are "gas guzzlers"
Too much ignorance and exaggerations
Like your show very much watching from Grenada🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
Very Iconic Car, Seen a Lot of Mustangs in Germany
I've got an 02 V6 I bought with 26000 miles 2 years ago. Its my toy. It has 30000 on it now and looks new.
My 05 gto with the 6.0 6sp
Going from oklahoma to indiana cruise set at 85 i got 28 mpg
These mustangs are very safe and reliable in the “right hands” . Got about 87k miles on my 2015 mustang Gt convertible and the only thing I’ve done to it is change the oil and filters. Even the brake pads are still original. I’m amazed.
I have a 2009 GT just 1000 miles shy of 100,000 and have original spark plugs and brakes lol zero issues on her..
2.3 ecoboost 4cyl is a Mazda engine from when Ford had a deal. They are in CX-7 too, turbo issues
My Ram 2500 gets about 10 MPG towing a medium size 5th wheel. And its big and comfortable.
Hey Scotty my 2004 mustang gt has made to 350k miles on its original drive train with no issues but I'd assume soom stuff is going to start going what would you recommend I replace to extend this cars life
I also have a 2011 V6 3.7 Mustang love it, Question for you, i'm planning to put an air cool intake and a bigger Throttle body. Whats your opinion on it and do i need a turning after that.
owned a 2011 v6 stang, one of the the best sports car, very reliable. I changed the stock mufflers to Roush Axle back, MAN, it sounds like a GTR
