Tiburon, an 03 one, and the V6 model of course. It is a quick little car, with good realibilty, even has like a 9 rating on consumer reports. It has fresh styling, pretty good mpg, and is really a low cost car. Me no like mustangs either.

The v6 new tibs were like 20K usd...
For that kind of money there are just far better cars...
Hell you can get a Chevy Cobalt for like $14 now...

I looked at Cobalts, they are too mcuh money. '03 Tiburons here are like 12-13k Canadian. '01 Tiburons can be found under 10 grand. I'm prob going for Tib now lol./ after researching more they seem to be the smarter choice. Will last longer than Mustangs it seems.

toyota camry :) look at the pre-owned models. i got mine (01) for 11k with 85k miles... AND a warrantee... so far i have 130k miles on it... and nothing has gone wrong with it.... honestly everyone i have asked that has had a camry has had no problems with it... i do understand that this is a completely diffrent idea you had but its worth a look.
if you want speed i'm sure you could find an integra or civic and just put 3-4k into it and soop it up?

"honestly everyone i have asked that has had a camry has had no problems with it..."
You didn't ask me
Mine was the biggest pile of shit that ever hit asphalt.
Out of the two, I'd get the Mustang. Solid engine and transmissions, better resale value, cheaper parts. I think it ranked as the most reliable American car in 2004 according to CR if you trust that kind of thing, something like only 4 problems per 100 vehicles? IDK, personally I'm not a stats man. I just know I haven't seen anyone fuss about a Mustang, whether 3.8L or 4.6L. Main drawback to the car is interior ergonomics.

" For some reason '02 Neons are about 300$ MORE then a Mustang per year for insurance... Thats FULL coverage for both vehicles... He was surprised about that also."
Don't know why he was surprised. Compact cars always have been higher on insurance. Neon wouldn't exactly be my choice of a compact car, anyway. Much better options out there.

Bah.. I don't know... I figure there's a few of each that I found that will fit my needs. I'll go check em all out and see which have the best options avail, and go for that.
