Mustang
The only reason I own a Ford is because of the Mustang. I love Mustangs, I always have and I always will. Did I mention I love my Mustang?
I have two other cars though, a 01 Maxima GLE and a 98 Mazda 626 V6 (and the 626 is way more Mazda then Ford btw.)
These cars even with 100,000 more miles than low milage Ford 4 door cars I have ridden in are more quiet, more comfortable and drive better. There is a reason most imports hold their value so much better than domestic cars. The quality is MUCH better.
When it comes to cars, I am not brand loyal. I am a fan of the total package. I ask myself what car brings the most to the table for me?
Be an informed comsumer. Read reviews, read
www.carsurvey.org Don't just pick a car because its the make you are used to. Find the best car out there for the money.
For the Mustang it was "what is the coolest muscle car I can get for the money I can spend?" Mustang hands down.
For my winter car and wifes car it was "what can I get that's reliable, comfortable, gets decent gas milage, has enough power to be fun to drive and fits my budget?" 7 years ago I got the 626, last year I got the Maxima.
In the 7 years I have owned the 626, I have changed the oil, replaced the tires and replaced the battery. Thats it! Original clutch, original brakes and just turned 118,000 last week. Try that with a domestic.
Information is power, do some digging before forking over your hard earned cash on a car just because it's the brand your Dad bought...
