2013 Ford Mustang or 2013 Kia Optima

[Matty]

Unreal, reno with a poseur's car. : Big letdown.

 

[reno cool]

I used to have this. What do you think pal?

 

[Blitty]

I'll grant it to German cars, they are on another level entirely, refinement-wise.

I don't need a daily driver. Cars are toys to me.

I would like a plane as a toy too.

For the sake of this thread-Rake should take the Kia.

 

[Matty]

Never seen one of these up here. Was it 4WD? It looks very much un-Subaru-like.

 

[Archie]

I drive a bus, a kia minivan, and a corolla

i'm a point A to point B person, and like to take alot of people with me sometimes

I had a mustang rental on a vaca a few years back, and it turned me into a bit of prick on the road though...

 

[Blitty]

Mustangs are the kind of car where if you put like 5-10K into them they are Bad Ass.



But if you just buy the basic model, you are the biggest homo ever.

 

[Matty]

As opposed to buying a Kia. Okay sure.

 

[reno cool]

it is 4wd, although some models weren't. The only Subaru worth a shit imo. Probably my favorite model of all. :

 

[Blitty]

Koreans did pretty good with the whole Samsung thing.

I think they give you like a 100,000 mile warranty too.

I'll take practicality and comfortability over trying to be Mr. mid-nineties cool guy any day. :10x:

 

[Matty]

THat's Mr. Mid-00's to you blittyboy. Never cared for the 90's ponies.

 

[reno cool]

I have a hard time finding a newer model car that I like. no more cl's, celicas, svx, even the eclipse looks gone.
I like the look of those retro mustangs, challengers and camaros but buying a retro car doesn't sound that cool to me.

 

[Matty]

The thing is loads of fun to drive is all. I don't give a fuck what other people think of me driving it. I'm not some 22yo yearning to make an impression.

I'm over the hill and perfectly happy about it.

V6, Race Red. Book it.

 

[Blitty]

Why not V8?

 

[Matty]

We're talking about 20k cars here. The V8 is a lot more expensive up here, 40k+ after taxes. For that money I'd get a 3-series or an A4/A5.

Base Mustang is a dirt-cheap rugged All-American toy. I likes it a lot.

i went from american to japanese to german...i doubt ill ever buy anything besides german again...the ride is night and day compared to others...i love my cozy couch car, as matty would call it

 

[Blitty]

Audi/Lexus/Toyota FTW

 

[FairWarning]

I'msure the Kia would be cheaper to insure. In Michigan, thats a big consideration. We have the highest car insurance in the nation.
