Actually, Ford did something right, and used a European designed chassis from the Jaguar XKR (Ford Thunderbird, and Lincoln LS) for the Mustang.
All the Mustang is known for is a stout drivetrain
A lot of magazines put the 05 Mustang right up their with Mercedes, Acura, and BMW for overall build quality
I’d like to see a evaluation after 30,000 miles with 10 - 2005 mustangs and see what the problems are. if any
who knows… I know of a few 5.4L 3v F150’s pushing close to 50,000 miles, and no problems with their engines. not much diff engine wise between the F150 engine and the stangs, so we know that won’t be a problem
