Opinions about driving style etc. aside....I really like both cars for different reasons and have driven both.

I am asking you opinion about reliability and comfort as far as daily driving 30-45 mins each way 5 days a week.


Scion FR-S
Mustang v6 (maybe premium, maybe not)

Can I also have a general comparison of fuel and insurance cost comparison? The mustang doesn't require premium fuel so I think it would be cheaper to fill up, but insurance I have no idea.

My budget is ~23-24k, so the FR-S would probably be used unless I get a great deal at the end of the year (same if I want a premium v6 mustang)

Thank you very much for your opinions.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Hell yes for having 4 days off =)

Ask your insurance company for a quote.

I have roughly the same commute but a bit longer...I don't know much about the frs but I'd still rather go with the v6 mustang. I think I've seen premium v6 for under 25k in my area... I've been shopping for a gt premium myself.

v6 mustang all day

If I could afford a GT premium I would get that no question.

The only thing I don't like in the mustangs is the ugly steering wheel. They are designing them like chick cars next year so buy one now if you can afford it =P 2015 is fugly

I dig the wheels.

There are always people that will call just about any car a chick car. I thought about getting an 03-04 cobra and my wife said it looked like a chick car lol

y buy brand new?

because sloppy seconds on top of $25k in debt is adding insult to injury?

If you've got the money, go for it. But getting a slightly used version of the same car saves you 5-6k. You'll still have a warranty, all records for the vehicle are kept up most of the time, and you'll only be missing out on 5-10k miles of the vehicles life span...sometimes even less.

Im not set on buying new. I would happily buy something 1 year old with low miles and 2 years remaining on warranty.

I would only buy new if I go with a civic Si because the depreciation isnt there to justify it.

I am looking into leasing a fr-s or mustang now, really just can't make up my mind.

Also, black or red? =)

certified pre owned fr-s or brz ( for the leather interior)
