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😂
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
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
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
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
Ya loved the look of those 5.0. Classic if u ask me.
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. 😊
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.
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'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.
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 have a 2016 v6 stick shift and I’m happy with it ❤
Agreed. Added some improvements. BBK n Borla. Sounds great good power. Love her
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.
what issues did you encounter?
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.
I was seriously considering a Mach 1 and then realize how blessed I am with my 2017 V6 with 40k miles on it. Scotty you are awesome...
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 👌
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
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
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.
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!
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!
I used all those excuses and more driving my V6 Mustang for 17 years. It looks like a GT, better mpg, with dual Flowmasters it almost sounded like a GT, and it got me where I was going for many years. (I still have two videos of it in my videos list.) But sorry, my next Mustang WILL be a V8, before they disappear forever.
“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.
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.
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
Still have my 1967 ford mustang coupe with a 289. Can’t let it go.
I can tell a difference even without badges. The GT looks beefyer.
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
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..
I have a 16 ecoboost premium and I love it. I have gotten about 430 miles a tank from it consistently but I only run premium (94 octane.) Currently the car has 53000 miles on it and I bought I used at 39000 miles and have just done basic maintenance since I bought. I park the car under ground and usually wash it after use in the winter. So far I am VERY pleased with the performance.
I have a 19 and it’s a dream
Tyler Bignell Where do you find the ‘94’ fuel? I can only find 93.
I’m in Canada so I have it everywhere. I didn’t even know it was an issue!
I have a acura tlx 2015 bought it 50k now has 130k im just starting to change tires starter new battery and spark plugs and two tie rods and bushings all under 2k& in repairs i love this car american cars is junk
@Waylon Axe Petro Canada. I'm in Canada so I translate the kms to miles since this is predominantly an American channel.
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
I drive the EXACT same car, engine and transmission too so I basically just watched a Scotty video about my own car 😂
I've owned a V6 Mustang and V8 Mustang. The V8 Mustang feels and sounds a lot better when driving. But we all have our own preferences.
I wish they'd have kept the V6, I hate turbos in general; just complicates the engine... pray it doesnt go wrong
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.
The v6 2017 Mustang will be my first car.
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.
Love my 2013 mustang... Got it with 94k just turned it to 101k.... It's a great car and have had no problems.
I have a V6… thank you Scottie for putting out a good word for me 😢… 😎
The entire industry is SHOCKED!
My wife has 2004 v6 convertible trouble free with 120K. I have a 93 Cobra I bought new 26K more than happy!
Nice looking. Glad to see its stock.
My 1988 Chevy IROC-Z had 225hp. It had the 5.7 liter tuned port injection. My 2019 Challenger GT V-6 has 305hp and is quick enough. I agree with you that the V-8's won't last as long as the V-6's. Great video thanks for posting.
Wrong. V8s lasts longer than V6s.
He was talking about the four cylinders not lasting as long, not the V8's. The V8's are much better engines
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.
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.
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.
Nice smooth shifting, just like my 2013 Focus. Glad Ford's got their transmissions figured out.
why must they do this😔 V6 lives matter too
The worst sounding 6 cylinders in the world are V6.
VR6, sound awesome.
Flat-6, sound awesome.
Straight-6 sound awesome.
V6? No.
Clearly you haven’t put your right foot into the Cyclone V6 built in Cleveland Ohio! No better sounding 305 horses on the planet!
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.
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
They haven’t made the V6 for like 4-5 model years. V8 or 2.3T 4-cylinder are the engine options.
Great to hear the V6 is more reliable than the ecoboost
I just love the Mustangs!!!! It's really annoying that Ford is not going to be making them anymore. Soon they'll be only selling the Mach-E, nothing to do with the Mustang! Just trying to sell you something. That was a real Mustang!
Ford needs to put the manufacturing equipment in storage so the can bring it back in a few years!
@@arlenbell4376 I sent Dodge a letter when they were under and told them bring back the Charger & Cuda and you will have plenty of business lol Looks like they listen to me
Got a 2014 GT Premium vert with 6M, I get 15 in town and 22-24 highway. Works for me😂😂. 10 yr daily driver with 109k on the clock, very dependable and parts very reasonable.
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.
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.
I think 2017 was the last year they put the 6 in the Mustang. Now we just got ecoboost and V8s. My wife test drove the ecoboost and immediately said "no!" After driving off the lot. She started a GT and just looked at me and smiled. That was all she wrote.
bought one of these with 35k miles on it and it's great. fast as hell too with like 1 mod.
Wow, that’s a long way from my high school drive. a 1967 Mustang fastback with a 200 HP 289 v8, 3 speed manual, and a weight of 2,812.
I used a matchbook cover to gap the points. I still remember the firing order - 15426378
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.
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.
Bought my 2014 race red 3.7 Mustang (with 6 speed auto) back in December of 2019. These cars really are a great balance of efficiency and power. 305 hp is plenty for the kind of driving I do; summer afternoons on desolate highways with the occasional pedal-to-the-floor shenanigans. Going for long drives has always been a great way for me to unwind after a long work week. Not doing much of that right now, because it's winter and I'm in North Dakota.
One final note: my daily driver is a 2008 Matrix XR. ALSO a great car! Bought that one about two years ago, and I think I spent the entire first day seeking out all of its little hidden compartments...
That's a good steed with the xr and the other with the v6. Good sounds. Turbo not all they're cracked up to be.
The other thing with manual is that if you DO rev it, the thing has VVT and direct injection, meaning it has old school VTEC Civic type boost at around 3.5K. Its quick and then it's really trying to get you into trouble and will gladly wrap you around a tree if you let it at higher rpms. The way it delivers power is honestly almost like the V8 and it's why it's only a second slower 0-60, despite the V8 having 50% more power. AND, it's been reliable. The V8.. well, those aren't so reliable from that generation. And the older reliable V8 from around 2010 has the exact same HP. These really are a win-win. Mustang fun and power, super reliable. And... now you can buy an Ecoboost for another year or so for 30K? I'm holding onto mine as it'll for sure be a future classic once all the EVs have crumbled into dust and have zero resale value due to the cost to replace the battery packs.
Scotty was right about V8 and I'm mad as hell..
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
I just bought a 2023 Gt and it has more power than anyone needs specially if you shut the traction control off which I don’t recommend to those that have no idea how to throttle and counter steer.
I once bought a 'lifetime' dealership warranty for $675. People told me it was a waste of $$, and that's true for people who buy a new car every 3 years, but I got 'free' oil and filter changes, inspections and tire rotations for that truck for 17 years. How much is an oil change at Gyp-me Lube? Bet they were glad I finally moved out of state. Still have that truck too!
Very Iconic Car, Seen a Lot of Mustangs in Germany
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.
I have 2 mustang GTs. A 2002 convertible with a 4.3 V8 and 2019 with the 5.0. The 5.0 averages about 25.7 mpg and that’s with a
little jump on it occasionally the 4.3 about 24 mpg with 120,000 miles! However if you have a heavy foot it will soak up the gas and that can be fun until you get caught. The mustang V8 is the best sounding car on the road. But the V6 has to be the best for that price category.
Do you mean a 4.6 V8?
@@seanmcfadden6600 oh yes
Ford has a turbo I4 that gets 300 hp as well.
You must know that Scotty doesn't like turbo engine specially a four banger.
@@danielcote313 Yeah but I had to mention it anyway lol
310 on 93 octane about 270-275 on lower octane
Yeah but the NA V6 Mustang will Outlast the 4 cylinder EcoBoost by a long shot though.
My 06 GT has 178000 and gets 24 MPG highway, does not use oil, runs hard if desired, the 5 speed is bullet proof and the clutch is still OEM
Daily drive a V8 GTO (2004). To get the mileage he's talking about, I'd have to drive in reverse everywhere I go. I average 24 mpg.
I had a 96 Mustang V6. Loved that car.
I had a 95 that got 30 mpg lol
I juts got myself a v6 4.0 mustang !!!!! It's a manual transmission too!!! I'm glad you made this video !!!!!
I love my GTs, but this generation v6 is one I'd love to get my hands on. I still think it was a huge mistake on ford's part to do away with the v6. The cyclone engine is a rock solid design, and is more capable than the 4cyl. There's a few f150s from 2015 thru 17 that had the v6 as well but with twin turbos, I honestly don't know how those 4cyl trucks and mustangs outsold the v6.
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.
Just traded my 2015 mustang v6 with fully built exhaust, coil overs and some other nice mods for a 22 cx5 turbo signature. I have remorse but it is a good upgrade. I agree, you don’t need v8 to enjoy this car. Just gotta focus on some handling.
That's a big difference in the type of vehicle.
I like Scotty's philosophy of buying cheap used cars because you can own multiple and have variety.. for cheap.
Like getting an older used sports car, a truck, and a crossover all for the same price of that new CX5
@@Argedis true but I live in city and work from home so needed something reliable and problem free. Also have limited parking. I never bought a used car honestly. Rather have the problem free usage with warranty and get a good chunk when I sell it.
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.
Love you Scotty but I disagree about the 10 speed automatic! I have one and it runs like a dream! So smooth and rips!!
Wait until it breaks.
@@ilc-nl3yy you’re out of your mind. I baby my pony.
I have that 3.7L and 6R80 package in my 1961 Ford F100 Unibody.
Plus better MPG and less car insurance premium.
Scotty please do a video on why the EcoBoost Mustang are trouble?
USA has this weird view about v6 engines like it's looked down upon . When in Japan v6 have been doing a madness for a long time and the gtr v6 making 600 bhp from factory
I had a 2017 V6 Mustang with the 051A package. I traded it for a 2018 GT but I still miss the V6. If I could've kept it and had both cars I would have. It was a great car and the same colour as the one in the video.
I have the V6, I want a GT. I want to keep my V6 and have The GT.
@Cyclone Kevin Go for it. There's nothing like the sound of the cold start with the V8. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my V6 due to not having enough space for 4 cars.
@@Guy9998 I have a another year to pay it off. If I can find one for a reasonable price I go for it.
Dealership" well, you owe us $100 check out fee".
Mustang owner: " You know what, I'm going to see Scotty Kilmer and make a video about it".
Oh, I don't know, I drove a 2016 GT convertible w/mt for four years. I put just shy of 50k miles on it. For the most part, I drove it normally. That's not to say I didn't play with it from time to time but I didn't abuse the car. In the time I had the car, I took two multi day road trips. One about 3800 miles round trip and the other about 2100 miles. Both trips returned low to mid 27's, my calculations, maintaining 70 to 75 mph. The car said I was doing better. The 5.0 is capable of returning surprisingly good gas mileage if not driven with a lead foot.
I thought the V6 Mustang went away years ago. Didn’t the eco boost 4 take the place of the 6?
I love my 02 mustang V6 5 speed
I got the naturally aspirated V-8 I only have 18,300 miles. I don’t beat it up! I’m 47 learned not to beat it up! It can do 100 mph with no problem only at 2,500 rpms.
My 05 gto with the 6.0 6sp
Going from oklahoma to indiana cruise set at 85 i got 28 mpg
I didn't know they made this in a v6 still I thought they were only turbo 4 or v8
I think this year was right before the ecoboost came out? Not sure
@@jcraig1848 oh ok that makes sense
They stopped the V6 in 2017. Sadly.
If I wanted a 6 cylinder engined Mustang, I would have a Inline 6 Barra Australian engine in it, and have it Turbocharged.
And as for the V8, not all V8s are "gas guzzlers" . A V8 4.6 in a Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car, especially those vehicles from 1991 to 2012 , are not bad on fuel mileage.
If Ford is concerned about fuel mileage with performance, they could've just updated the V8 4.6 and have that engine as a option under the V8 5.0
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.
That squirter probably worked good. Im wilking it was a piece of plastic from the tank stuck in it.
Rotate those tires often on those independent suspension vehicles it will bald those tires uneven and fast!
My first new car was an 1987 Mustang 2 door coupe 5 L. The problem was within 5 years the inside of the bottom of the doors were peeling paint and rusting. Only 2 drain holes and obviously collecting water in the winter. I sold the crappy Ford after I touched up the inside of the bottom of the doors. I said I would never by another Ford. Years later I gave them another try. Mistake… 2013 Escape with doors hitting chipping paint because of improper door separation. I pointed the potential problem before driving car if lot. Mechanic said it would be ok. All 4 doors were repainted twice because of continuous hitting and chipping. Advised Ford in September of 2012 but they did nothing from 2013 - 2019. Almost all had same problem, sold the crappy Ford and bought a Mazda. Love it. My Escape had like 14 recalls. Done with Ford. Hello awesome Mazda. CX5 Sport…Great car
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.
That situation where the data goes away when you scroll on your scanner then you wait for it to come back. The term is it has to “repopulate” the data. ☮️
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 bought a new 1998 v6 mustang and i still own it. It isnt the fastest thing in the world but its a great car.
Thank you Scott for the info and the demo well done 👏🏼 👍🏼🏴🇬🇧
Your off the mark. I have a 04 Mustang gt convertible. 26mpg highway, 18 city
