Yeah they are okay cars. Usually fall around mid to low 15s stock. Probably not the best DD as the gas mileage is probably comparable to your stang, but hey if you got a good deal on it then i guess roll with it. I don't know if about the reliability of them either, probably not as reliable as the stang. Is 95 2nd gen and 96 first year of third gen?

i think gen II is 93-95 but i'm not sure. o3gtreaper where did u read that lollol thats halarious. what good is a car that eats through clutches every 5k. their auto trannys suck too. they break all the time. i'm buying one that just had it rebuilt so it should be good for another 5k lollol. the gas isn't horrible 28mpg highway thats alot better than my stang gets.

Winter beater FTW. Last Fall I bought a 2000 Jeep Cherokee with 70k miles. The Mustang appreciates hanging out in the garage while the snow and salt are flying. I actually like the Jeep, and it's great for pulling a utility trailer or boat. I put a tad over 10,000 miles on the Jeep for the year. I actually like driving it as a change of pace. My initial thinking was to sell it in the Spring, but I put new tires, exhaust, hitch and tranny cooler on it and decided just to keep it. Next mod is a baseplate, so I can tow it behind my motorhome. I imagine I'll have the thing for another 10 years or so now.
