Which car should I buy?
Dare to be different...go Tiburon..besides, the car is more than likely still with warranty and being an 02 mustang, I KNOW it's warranty is up. The Tiburon also has better kickpanels for better speaker placement. What ever you do...DO NOT GET A MARK VIII! This car has got to be the worst car ever for car stereo. However this point is moot since I have one.

Didn't the Mark VIII have a somewhat curvy dash that kind of wrapped around into the door panels, and a high center console? I know it was different than a T-bird, but I didn't see a lot of pics of the interior of your car, mostly the dash. I think the console came out even further than the speaker spots in the door, didn't it? I know the T-birds were extremely successful in SQ competition, never heard about the Mark VIII. You're probably going to have to glass some door panel pods and get the comps more on axis to you to be successful in that one.
I'd have to say the absolute best newer car for SQ is....the VW Beetle
I hate that it is that way, but that car just screams for a system. I hear the Passats are really easy to get sounding good, too. The older BMW 535s were great SQ cars, too. Anything with a flat dash, low or no console, enormous kick panels, symmetrical all around should do pretty good for SQ.

Haha. s'ok. I ALMOST bought a Tiburon at the same lot. but it was just a wee bit above my price range.. I was about to cave tho... '04 Tiburon loaded, very nice blue... Glad I didn't tho, this Sentra is really unique where I live. Everyone else is driven their Civics/Corollas....William from NOLA wrote:He bought a Sentra, goofy :) I think you forgot to read the thread :)
You will love the sentra...excellent cars.
as to Jonathan, yes the Mark VIII is a huge dash with sweeping curves everywhere. I will be posting up some pictures of my current dash mods in a few minutes, as soon as I upload them to my computer. It is coming along nicely. Got the dash pad glassed and the components fit snug there, somewhat too snug. But we are glassing in a mid for center channel so I think it will sound very well. Oh well, I need to get started. Gotz pics to post up
and Vindicate, again Congrats!!!

No pics yet 
I can't pick up the car til Tuesday cuz my insurance company is closed sat/sun/mon. Civic holiday monday. BAH! Come tues tho, I'll put up some pics.
In regards to Mustangs the only V8 mustangs were above my price range, so I woulda been stuck with an '02/'03 most likely auto Mustang. The Sentra was a hella good find compared to the other cars I was able to find.
