My lovely wife informed me the other day that she "really likes" the new
little Mustangs and might want to buy one.

She's looking at a 2007 "V6 Premium," with the 4 liter V6, 5-speed auto,
and anti-lock brakes with traction control, and a bunch of other
accessories. Our local dealer is more than willing to "make a deal."

Any thoughts about this vehicle as an "everyday car?" Most of my wife's
driving is suburban, with very few trips of more than, say, 50 miles.

I drove such a vehicle recently and thought the power-brakes-handling
were more than adequate. Any ideas about gas mileage, reliability, that
sort of thing?

I'd prefer she buy a new top of the line Toyota, but she wants something
sportier.

Wimmins!


Nephew bought a 2005 rag top GT version of that car. Now he's trying to
find the money to buy a 'beater' to use during our long winter while the
Mustang sleeps in his dad's garage.

The NY State Police put their away for the winter, too, unless there's
absolutely no snow on the roads or median turnarounds. Even fancy tires
won't help that car deal with snow.
