I'm wondering if you guys are able to tell me about your experience owning an s550 Mustang, such as overall driving feel, maintenance, and reliability. To be honest, reliability is my number one concern. I have had a 1990 Nissan 240sx for about 6 years, and while I love the car dearly it has been on jack stands being worked on probably more than I've been able to drive and enjoy it. I recently swapped a 1jz with a 6 speed from a 350z into it hoping that the rock-solid reliability of the two would give me years of driving with little to no issue, but reverse in the trans recently went out and I'm tired of dumping money into the car.
I'd like to get something decently quick and, primarily, reliable. I use the 240 for spirited weekend drives, but don't drift or otherwise put the car through a whole lot of abuse. I've had my sights set on the 2015+ Mustangs for a while, and would treat it about the same, but reading into it I see all sorts of concerns with them, mainly centered around the mt82 trans. As I'm dealing with transmission issues already, this is the last headache I want to experience.
Can someone chime in with your thoughts and experiences with the car? I'd love to hear from someone who's owned one for a few years and has put a decent amount of miles on.
