retiring mustang. help with economy dd

[Mustang5L5]

that's kinda what I was leaning towards....Honda or Toyota. If I get one of those would you guys still help me with my Mustang?

Nope. ALl your vehicles here must be Ford products or you get banned



(hope nobody looks at my sig)

go with the 4cyl mustang. Replacement parts are cheap, and are readily available and in stock, try that with an import.You basically know all about the cars. And you can still customise it to look tasteful(like a 5.0) try THAT with an import!

please. a 2.3 knocks down the same mpg as a 5.0. i drove one for 3 years and it was a big kick in the nutz. dding a 4 banger mustang is a step backwards and has all the driveability flaws that his gt would. not something i would want to drive 120 miles a day.

vw jetta diesel, 40+ mpg, but i dont know the budget.

ive seen crazy builds on diesel Jetta's that get 300/500 and still get 35mpg
