I read this article of research done buy Consumer Reports, and as the article reads, if you want a vehicle that will last 200,000 miles or more, buy a Toyota, a Honda, or a Ford F-150. I immediately got to wondering, why was the Ford Mustang not included?

Two reasons, I can surmise.
1. The Ecoboost engine is known not to be as reliable in the long term as the Coyote V8. Mainly because of turbo life span. This lowers the overall reliability rating of the model.
2. The fact that Mustangs are usually driven so much harder than regular cars (sedans) with a lot of rev limitations, etc. Not too many people drag race Toyota Camry's.
My whole thought being, if you want a good reliable sport coupe that will easily reach 200,000 miles with little trouble, it's probably the Ford Mustang. Especially if you don't drag race the thing every weekend, and drive it "mostly" like a normal car. I say "mostly", because we all know the truth on that one.
Anyone see the logic in this?
