At least the next 10 years. Not liking what I see in the '15. I've always like the classic look and now they seem to be moving away from it.

Life. Unlike you yankees, I'll be driving mine for the next six months, too.

Right now I'm in love with this car and plan to keep it forever.

Now, at my age "forever" is a somewhat less extravagant notion than for some of you...

Im gonna check out the 15 5.0 with whatever track options are available at that time. If I'm pleased I'll probably wait to buy a 16 or 17 GT. Let em work all the bugs out of the new platform. I can wait, I'm having way to much fun with my 13 right now especially after the tune.

Ditto. NEVER buy a first model year of ANY car, specially a major redesign.

I've been lucky so far and pretty sure I'm not the only one.

I will probably keep this for the next 2-3 years and then upgrade to a GT if my lifestyle still supports being able to drive a 2 door sports car. I.e. no kids or anything. If I things change you may see me on the WRX or Ego forums.

Your one of the half dozen I have an eye and ear on! If yours is purchased by me, I'll also operate the windshield washers for a minute or two!

Still liking those GT500 exhausts....I have over 48K on them, and the note they make is still sweet.

Should I place my order as to what mods you do next on my...uh, I mean your Mustang?

Now that I think about it, I have never used the windshield washer solution on mine...I think I used the wipers once just to make sure they worked....

Every car I get I always say I'm going to drive it into the ground and never end up doing it. I have a base V6 so would like to upgrade in a few years but we'll see. Of course if someone runs into me and totals him then gap insurance will pay it off and I can get a premium vert with everything I want! Of course I shouldn't say that because I do love my car, just wish I had a few of the technology extras.

Til it dies probably or after 200k miles. Hopefully then I'd like to put in a 5.0 with a SC.

My last car I had for 14 years and put 268,000 miles on it. I'm hoping to do the same with the Mustang. Who knows, if I can keep it in good shape I may just hang on to it until it's a classic. I wonder what a good condition one owner 2012 Mustang would go for in 2040.
The cost to fill it up with a tank of gas will be more than you can sell the car for in 2040

Keeping it forever, right alongside my 1966 T/A coupe that I built from the ground up.

Probably at least 10 more years. I don't see any reason not to at the moment. I'm super happy with it.
