I think we can all agree that all modern engines are hard to fix. Even modern V8 is the same. In fact its like they made it not to be fixed at all. Buy drive and throw away.
So the point of it failing at some point or another will eventually happen. And no matter how complex the modern engine are, it is still basically understandable tech.
But if any of the cars like the mustang are all electric, probably going to be even more trouble. Need people with different sets of skills already. Till then, no matter how difficult it is to understand modern engines, it is still far more better than whats coming up next.
I won't look down on the V6 mustang. It is still fast at 300HP. And since it is about 4 years old, definitely has some aftermarket engine upgrades for it already.
All engines are hard to fix while it is still in the engine bay, definitely correct, as for it being hard to fix, I think the correct word is expensive to fix in which case yes that is certainly true.
In any case if you can afford the price of a Mustang here you probably have better things to do with your time then trying to fix it

I am pretty sure the outside places would know how to diagnose & fix the mustang by now. 4 years old already. Every piece of engine flash codes probably floating around already.
But so far no one vlog about the V6. Many about the V8.
Actually engine codes for this isn't hard to get, that V6 engine is used in quite a lot of other Ford vehicles and new OBDII scanners are abundant these days that it would also have its code.
In any case I won't worry too much about parts, once a car is sold in Japan, UK and Australia there will be plenty of parts around for it. Plus the world has become much smaller with ecommerce these days.
V6 vs V8, depends on your priorities. V6 will handle better due to less nose-heavy characteristics while the V8 well you just can't beat what a V8 offers.
Darn I should not have sold off my LR Defender with the GM350 conversion.
Mustang GT, RM11k roadtax. Wish there was a convertible and manual one for sale.
