Ford Mustang FAQs

The Ford Mustang has been the best selling sports car for 22 years and this year they have now been honored with the 2008 Motorist Choice Award in the Sporty Car segment. The web site InstelliChoice and automotive firm AutoPacific chooses the awards.

The Motorist Choice Awards were designed to recognize vehicles that appeal to both the heart and head. The awards are calculated by combining IntelliChoice.com’s cost of ownership data with AutoPacific’s owner satisfaction information culled from more than 40,000 new car and truck buyers.

“The Mustang is an outstanding value, and it satisfies owners from the six-cylinder buyer all the way up to the muscle car guy who’s driving a Shelby 500KR,” said George Peterson, president, AutoPacific. “That’s a combination that’s hard to beat.”

The Mustang beat out the Volkswagen Eos, Hyundai Tiburon, Mitsubishi Eclipse and last year’s winner, the Scion tC – in 17 categories, including Image, Vehicle Reputation, Power & Acceleration, Reliability, and Fun to Drive.

“It really speaks to the quality of Mustang and its status as an American icon,” said Fritz Wilke, Mustang brand manager. “The Mustang is a symbol of power, performance and coolness, and anyone who owns one knows that they are a part of something special – a piece of Americana that goes back 45 years.”
