Default Which would be better

ok now i know you are all mustang fans...so just hear this out...ok well i'm selling my mustang during the summer...now i want to buy of the following vehicals...which would you think would be the best...1994 mazada MX-6, 1990 + ford ranger, 1994 ford mustang v6 auto, or a 1990 ford mustang 5.0 standard...now take into mind i drive oh the highway everyday for about half and hour to and from so 1 hour everyday and do drive for a short distance every day also...so just take that into mind and tell me what you think...also if you could...what doyou get for a 5.0 for mpg and is it worth buying it even if you are kind of short on cash....i don't have all the money in the world to put into gas so i need a vehical that is good on gas...i know its like "WHAT!!! a MAZDA..YOU RICER" but i really like the way that they look...plus i would make it nice and fast...

I'd get the '90 5.0 honesly, because Im performance oriented. gas mileage will suck though

Don;t get anything less than a 4.0L manual in the ranger....

Mustang will be more fun tooling around, but it's a PITA sometimes....

id go 5.0 too, on the highway u can get like 25mpg!! i think anyways? all depends how u drive it, and do NOT get the mx6, i was gonna buy one i went there with the cash and someone had been buying it as soon as i giot there i was s pissed, anyways the tranny went a few days later: , plus like a month ago we lined up, when the race started he took off and i did a burnout (on purpose) then took off and still smoked him... they are very very slow unless u get the v6 version but they are 3 times the money. but id go 2.3 ranger fi gas is a porblem

well ok i like the ranger because they are nice trucks that can do 4 wheelings...the 3.0 is plunty powerful but i meani still want a car also....the mx-6 i want more for the body and how its style really...they aren't fast i know...the 5.0 i want for power but gas milage sucks...and well its hard to choose...i'm leaning more toward the mx-6 because they are suppose to be pretty good cars...nice suspension...and i was planing on doing some work to the engine to get it to around 250 hp...more but i mean it will be a nice car over all if you ask me...a 5.o would be so nice because i would race my friend who is a rich bastard kick his ***...and make him feel like an *** all the time for it(i have a 2.3L thats a rust bucket and has many problems..the car wasn't taken good care of as you can tell and i didn't see all this **** when i bought it)...so well i'm leaning toward the mx-6...so please if you want me to stay a mustang or get a ranger please tell whats so good about each because i can't make up my mind....although i do have till the end of summer to make up my mind...i just want to try to make up my mind before hand...

lol...well it all depends...how hard do you think it would be to make 150 horse..might take a while but only because i need to get the parts...but i'm pretty sure that i could get that....and i could do an engine swap...v6 make 100 horse and i can put a supercharger on it...
