Perfect car to compliment the S197 Mustang?

[Power4]

So I'm thinking about purchasing a second car to use as a daily driver and winter vehicle. I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone on here recommends as a good car to go with the Mustang. So what's everyone suggest?

Personally I'm looking at a Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT with a 5 speed manual, or possibly an Evo X or the new 2010 Fusion Sport with AWD. All would be good winter cars but I'm not sure what would "go best" with my Mustang...

Jeep Cherokee SRT8 or Chevy Trailblazer SS ..

I have my 90 LX 5.0 and my Eddie Bauer Explorer AWD 5.0 They are both the perfect compliment.

2009 F 150 would go great.

Ford Escape.

Another Mustang? At least keep it a Ford.

I like my AWD Edge. About to put an intake/tune on it. I'd keep it in the Ford family. Fusions aren't bad either.

Sounds like everyone wants you to go midsized SUV.
I love the new Subarus... The AWD is pretty fun
It still gets good MPG and handles great in the snow.
I would get something like a 4WD truck or SUV.... or an AWD car.
The fusion sounds nice too

 

[NotQuik]

I have an 08 fusion and it's not too bad of a car with the v6 and 6 speed auto...I had an 06 explorer before that with the 4.6 and 6 speed auto and it was decent too. I'd go f150 or some sort of full size though. That's just me.

How about waiting for the new Tarus SHO? 360 HP with 36 Hwy MPG!

AWD midsized SUV like most suggest here its the way to go specially in the snow.

Haha, I've been seriously considering getting a second Mustang as well and having one be the cold weather Mustang. If I could find a S197 Bullitt or if the 2010 Mustangs aren't too weird looking in person then it's a possibility.

Too expensive for a Taurus and too big. It's an awesome car but I'd prefer something Mustang sized or smaller unless I get a pickup.

If the SVT Raptor ends up being affordable then I'd definitely go with that hands-down

Wait for the new Taurus SHO with the Ecoboost and AWD.

Otherwise I'd probably get something AWD like a WRX or a mileage machine like a VW TDI or a Toyota Prius.

i want a volkswagen gti. or a mercury marauder. or a lightning. alot of infinitis and lexus' and etc are really nice. i know they aren't really the same category but i like the luxury of them.

those aren't ideal for some though. with the weather we get around here, since it never really gets bad all those are manageable.

I'm pretty happy with my choice for my Mustang's stable mate. Though, my Mustang is the daily driver and the Marauder is the project car. Still, *I* think they look good together, but I'm biased.

Just when I was reading the title I was thinking 05+ Subaru Legacy GT. They are pretty bad cars. The 2.5 turbo motor is stout, they look good. There just isn't anything I dont like about them.

As a side note I just drove a 05 WRX STI that a friend of mine owns dyno's 493hp and 48Xlb ft to the wheels. It was pretty sweet to say the least.

Just drive the Mustang year-round. Put snow tires on it and call it a day. As long as you keep your car clean, it'll last 25 years no problem.

An F250 turbo diesel for me. Ideal for pulling car and trailer. Mustang is not used for transportation anymore.

My daily is a 98 VW Jetta TDI, had it since new. Yes it's a Turbo (90HP) 40-50 MPG. The Mustang always feels scary fast after driving the diesel. Dont get another sports car as a daily, it will take something away from the stang.

i gots me a 2000 grand cherokee, and 99 Exploder...4wd SUV or a PICKUP is nice it has that extra weight and clearance in deep snow/slush/ice (i live in maine) Even AWD Subarus cant always clear a snowplow ridge at the end of a drive way...
