LOL! This is too easy, kinda like taking candy from a baby.
Mustangs are a good middle of the range performance wise.
Okay handling and straight line perfomance stock at an affordable price.
Easy to upgrade on both grounds of performance.
Very insightful, and I agree 100%.
I wish I had every dollar you spent on your car into my mustang so that we could do such a comparison.
To be fair, I'd need to compare my STI to a new Mustang. If I took the money I spent on my 2006 STI and dropped it on a 12 year old Impreza, that would be more comparable.
A lot of really good points in here. Rootus, not tryna start a fight, but maybe you could explain to us on your reasonings on why Mustangs suck. I think people would understand your side of the story better.
LOL. I must have been out of the 94/95 forum too long. I like Mustangs. But I like to taunt people who cannot escape the stereotype. People here are flinging insults at "imports", and that offends me as much as seeing people trash Mustangs on the STI forum. I taunt them over there too
.
But build quality, I'd have to differ. I've put 30k miles on this thing, and it has never given me problems. An oil leak here and there, but that's it.
I agree, more or less. My STI has vastly superior build technology to a SN95, which should not be a surprise given the factory SN95's were built in. It's probably about equal to a S197. And the materials quality in the interior is merely okay. Nice looking and designed well, but not as tough as the hard plastic SN95 interior.
Interesting views. Rootus' answers kind of lent themselves to why I made the thread. Nobody said STI's suck (even though my friend has one and I don't like anything about it
), but out comes all the mustangs suck stuff.
I'm happy to oblige
. Nobody singled out STIs. But last time I checked, it's an import, and people ARE pulling out the stereotypes in this thread and bashing imports. It's bull**** either way.
everyone knew Mustangs are useless in the snow.
I would not dispute that. A live axle RWD V8 car has no business playing in the snow. I only tried it a few times, and it is why I always owned another vehicle that could get me around on the rare snow days where I live.
Rooters probably got dicked over by a Ford dealer on warranty work or something. I don't know what's up his ass about Mustangs.
Sigh. First, it's "Rootus". Second, I've gotten dicked over by the local Ford dealer on warranty work so many times I gave up counting. I don't judge Ford based on the action of one retarded dealer. I have no hate towards Mustangs. I laid out a little bait for the asshats, and it worked.
I stand behind what I said. Mustangs suck. I never said STIs don't.
Now quit being asshats and throwing around brain-dead comments about imports. I have a hard enough time defending Mustang owners on the import boards without having people here laying down fresh new turds. Take the high road.
