Mustang. Easier on your wallet when it comes to gas.

Hardly. Unless you're lucky enough to find a V-6 model. Honestly, call me crazy, but I'd strongly recommend a Toyota sedan of some sort. Most of them are front wheel drive (great for snow, if you live in that climate) and are excellent on fuel economy. More space than a Mustang, cheaper insurance, and the bastards run forever if you take care of them. My girlfriend's got a '92 Corolla with 300,000 miles on it. Car still purrs like a kitten, never had any problems with engine or powertrain. In fact, she's just now had to put ball joints and coil springs on it.

I've driven a sports car and now I drive a truck. I highly recommend the truck. You'll get much more use out of it. You won't look like a pussy. They don't call it a 'bed' for nothing. Cheaper insurance. Less speeding tickets (statistically). safer (statistically).
Truck.
Seriously.

Anyways I can easly maintain mine, it dosn't take up much gas.
Get a sunbeam or old voltswagon if you wanna save gas money.

Since I'm the oldest, here is my recommendation. If you don't care about gas milages get the pickup of choice, I prefer GM cause of gas milage. If you want economy go for a Honda. My wife has a 96 and runs like a top. If you want to catch girls get a Cooper Mini, good on gas and is cool. Don't buy new, get a good used one. Pay for mechanic to check out unless it's Carmax. Mazda has a good little SUV too. Go to car.com, edmunds.com and read review. |

I have an 07 Impala. its got a huge trunk and is FWD which is good in snow. I get about 30mpg hiwghway. Its not a little dinky car but its also not sucking down gas like a truck which can get like 20mpg at best. I would highly discourage you from purchasing a mustang because they are not practical as they really only seat 2 comfortably. also they arent super great on mpg unless you get a V6 model. they are also RWD which is the worst in snow and ice. If you are hellbent on a truck I would suggest a small one like a ford ranger or a chevy S-10 or similar. Also keep in mind foreign cars are generally more reliable. So to marry the good mpg and truck capabilities you should get a Honda Ridgeline. lol.
