did u guys see that article with the fox mustang that has over 500,000 miles on it and all they did waas change a clutch and a water pump or something. they said they see foxes all the time with over 300.000 miles on them. to me thats pretty reliable. plus like the others guy said they arent to much to fix. there are so many dealers and parts available so most of the time its an easy fix. as for gas milage i get around 20 and thats around town. but most say 16 around town. ive herd up to 25 though

guess it depends on how you drive it, but im glad to hear they last a long time. If i egt this lx, im going to keep it and slowly mod it but keep it looking mostly stock, lower it with some rims, tint the windows, put a cowl hood on it and the rest engine mods.

For the Lx owners on here, does your mustang have rear window defrost?

Dude if you don't want to spend money on a car then don't get the Mustang. Mods are addictive and you'll always want to make it faster. But for a fun hobby, go for it

The only thing that I have ever had to replace on my hatchback (bought that fox last january), is the radiator because it got a pin sized hole in it. Other than that, nothing has broke on it.
