I went over to Consumer Reports and checked sports cars. Sure enough, Mustang (and Challenger) have an ugly solid black dot for Predicted Reliability. Camaro has a white dot, which is neutral.At any rate, my issue is with Mustang initial quality. It's poor. Just look at the threads in this sub-forum. Lots of problems. When my car had the DL vibration issue, the service manager went out and drove all the Mustangs on the lot (6 at the time) and 2 others had the same problem. That's quite a high percentage. Because I do like hard numbers, I went to JD Powers and looked it up and sure enough, 2015 Mustang is in last place in midsize sporty cars.
Mustang and Challenger get top score for Owner Satisfaction. Camaro gets slightly less owner satisfacation rating. Even if you can deal with the visibility issues, at least where I live, you aren't going to get into an SS version for anywhere near a base Mustang GT.
BMW M235i and Honda Civic Si have the top predicted reliability. The former is very expensive, and will have high repair costs as it drifts out of warranty and accumulates miles. The latter isn't a V8. Still a fun car I am sure, but its a different species.
