Mazda6 or Mustang Mach1

[Heathen23]

Sorry, I should have included that my first car was a '66 GT and I actually do like Mustangs, except the current version, but that's only because I'm too tall to drive one. It has just always bugged me that Ford has never thought enough of the line to develope it on its own platform to make it more of a sporting car rather than tweaking the heck out of an economy platform.

TMHT-

It's the american and Japenese auto maker way! I couldn't agree more. Using one platform across several models has become so common because of it's cost effectiveness it has really hurt the consumer.

am in the market for a new car. I am one of very few people that has no real bias against any carmaker. I want something that performs well, and that I can mod in my off time. Obviously there is a great many parts for Mustangs, but I am figuring there will be plenty o'parts coming for the 6. I have two kids, or I would get the Mach1 without a 2nd thought. But it has like absolutely no room in the back for my kids' legs. I was out test driving a bunch of cars yesterday (Celica, Matrix, P5, Mustang, 6) tried to do the Evo, but they would not let me. I loved the Celica, 6, and the Stang. I narrowed it down to the Stang or 6 and I was just lookin for advice or points of view on the decision.

If you can hold on for a few months I would say check out the RX-8. It's the only 4 door sports car available and it actually appears to have enough room for kids in the back! It's also in the same price range as the Mach1.

i've lowered one of the mach one's for a local dealer. i'm not a mustang fan by any means, but nice car, very cool hood.

Yeah that is another reason I will wait til the end of the month to decide. I have decided on the Mazda because of the fact that it would be VERY selfish of me to get the Mach1 and pin my kids in the back seat. The Mazda dealer told me they were getting the RX-8 next month. SWEET!
