Idk if I could live with a n/a 4 banger...I've had one before and I only managed to keep it for 4 months...


Now what I should have done was keep my 07 GTI. I got 28-32 mpg city and ran a 13.5@104 with fuel cuts all the way down the track...then it died.

With the holidays and my birthday coming up I not only will be getting cash from people but get 3 weeks worth of bike building in to make some bank. I'm going to test drive a manual CTS this week and see how I like it.

Then I'd have to decided on silver...like all my other cars have been...





Or black...

Just keep what you have because then you will kick yourself for selling it and not be happy with what you get. I mean you already have time and money invested into your car and if you could keep your foot out of it, you would probably get better gas mileage. I know when im able to keep my foot outta my car i can get 20mpg city which is just fine with me. Before you go and do anything crazy like trade your car in, try changing some stuff like the fuel filter and try seafoaming it. I did the fuel filter and i picked up 3mpg city driving with the change and then i seafoamed it and got like another 1-2mpg. So the small things might be worth a try to be happy with your car.

it's hard to find a car that's more fun and exciting to drive than a mustang... it's easy to find one that is more practical though

if I didn't love getting stuck in the snow and having to dig myself out in the middle of the road while awd cars wiz pass me honking, I'd be looking into a wrx/sti, not to mention our roomy back seats and over sized trunk, but nothing can beat the feeling and the sound of having a mustang WOT... sorry if I rambled, just my .02

Well the pics you put up are CTS-V's. Those things are ****ing fast. The 6 cylinders are OK. Nothing special, IMO. I've driven tons of both (mechanic at a Caddy dealer), and the only 6 cylinder I'd own is an 08+ with DI. The older model CTS's are OK, but aren't much more than a regular sedan.

If you can swing the price of a CTS-V (the older ones should have dropped a bit since the 09's came out), go with that. But I wouldn't even bother with a V6.
