2001 Ford Mustang Coupe 3.8L V6 from North America
Summary:
Bliss on four wheels
Faults:
The only thing to go wrong was the parking brake froze. Ran through the car wash in winter when the temp was 2 degrees above zero, then it quickly cooled to twenty below. I had to pour warm water on the brakes the following morning, then took it to the dealer to be lubed.
General Comments:
This car is a blast to drive. Anyone can afford one, and they come almost completely equipped. The V6 and five-speed combo is very economical to operate, with 30 to 33 mpg/highway a reality, and between 19 to 21 mpg/city. All this, plus the head turning styling of an all around wonderful car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I still own this vehicle and it has still not let me down. Still economical to operate. As far as insurance goes, my record is clean and I am in my early forties. Very cheap even with full coverage. I believe all sports cars are more money to insure, but whether I drive a Crown Victoria or a Mustang, my insurance is cheap. Maintenance wise, all he ever needed was oil changes and filters. Very easy on fuel, even at nine years old.

We own a 2007 V-6 Mustang and the insurance on it is very reasonable. It is actually about 30% less than the same coverage on our 2003 SUV. Of course, the V8 engine sends the Mustang insurance through the roof. I checked before buying my last Mustang and my insurance company quoted me a rate nearly double that of the V6 for the V8. That was my main reason for buying the V6 (as well as the fact that it was 7 grand cheaper to buy than the GT, which is identical in every respect except for the engine).

I know that the 2001 Mustang V6 is priced reasonably. You say that anyone can afford it, how is the insurance?
