2011 Ford Mustang
|
Congratulations to the Ford Mustang for being recognized for the second year in a row with Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award. The Mustang’s victory can be attributed to its below average depreciation rates, best in class maintenance and repair costs, and one of the lowest fuel costs of any sports car. These factors helped the Ford Mustang achieve a 7.2% lower than expected total cost of ownership.
