My sister has a 2002 that's got over 150k miles on it with zero problems. You've got to be a moron if you expect these things to start breaking down right off the bat.

Hell, just look at how many problems the 370Zs are having. ECU whine on the 2009s? 6MT transmissions getting replaced? Car's randomly deciding not to start? Plastic CSCs failing?

All cars have their problems...

I'm glad you're '09 is going strong. Mine picked up the ECU whine at 8,500 miles and damn was it annoying.

As for Toyota... yeah... they seem to be an exception lately. They seem to have let their quality control slip a bit. They have had a lot more recalls than we are accustomed to seeing from them. Of course I'm sure a lot of this could be attributed to growing pains. They are a lot bigger than they used to be just 10 years ago!

And speaking of 911s... check this out from my track day last weekend:

There are a lot of people that think the shape of the 911 is old and tired, but I love it. It's classic and iconic, and Porsche always finds a way to keep it looking fresh generation after generation. And the new ones are just beasts.

Actually, it's the GT500's with the issues. The other mustangs do fine. The mustang has always lasted well. Solid driveline, body, etc. The only thing that goes out is little junk like a window-motor here and there. I used to work at a Ford dealership back in '05 and we RARELY had mustangs in the shop for anything but ruitine maintenance (or a new auto tranny, which was junk). The new mustang should do even better.

FWIW, My dad used to drive police cars with the 4.6L (same as the mustang except cam profile and exhaust and tune, maybe a few other minor things.) He would beat the hell out of them. The transmissions usually died several times over his ownership of the vehicle, but the engine would go 2-300K miles every time.
