I'm 17 and looking to get a 2012 Mustang V6 (can't afford the GT). My parents are satisfied with the safety of the front seats, but they are not convinced that the rear seats are safe in a side impact. Are there any recent statistics or information oher than crash tests concerning the Mustang's safety, particularly in the rear seats?
Thanks!
Hi billybob10,
With all the safety features of the Mustang, you and your passengers are well protected! I do not have specific ratings on side impact on rear passengers, as those are conducted by independent parties, but here are some of the great features it has:
AdvanceTrac® with Electronic Stability Control helps you maintain vehicle stability in adverse driving situations or when making evasive maneuvers
on slippery pavement.
Personal Safety System tailors airbag usage to
the severity of the crash, driver and passenger safety belt
use, driver’s seat position and passenger classification.
MyKey is a feature your parents may love. (Don't hate me for this!
) It has the following options:
– Persistent Belt-Minder® alert that mutes audio system until front safety belt(s) are fastened.
– Earlier Low Fuel Warning indicator
– Limited vehicle top speed
– Configurable speed alert chime set at 45, 55, or 65 mph
– Maximum audio system volume
