| Price of the Ford Mustang: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Less than $25k out the door w/ all taxes & other BS ain't bad for a 300hp car that drives this well and this fast. |
| 2011 | 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
2 thousand dollars less than its competitors. |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
The 2010 in December was a great price! Even though this is my fun vehicle ( I have eight others, I can easily afford the payments and insurance. Actually, adding this to the "fleet" only added an addition $53 to my six-month premiums. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
I can't believe how reasonably priced this car was. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
Alot of car "fun to drive" for a really good price. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
Cheap for the performance level, and cheap to own long term. |
| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
Very cheap car for the performance and styling even in the 6 cylinder model. |

More expensive than the V6, may not be in everyones price bracket. |

| Price of the Mazda MX-5 Miata: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Convertible 167-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
Inexpensive for a convertible sports car. |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
Bought it used (2 years old) for $16,500 with 8000 miles on it. If you can find one you like for similar money, buy it. This model year has a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty, unlike subsequent years which are covered for 3 years. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 178hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
Great value for the car -- Used, I could get a fully loaded sports car for the same price as a new base model economy car. |
| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
Bought used, 2 owner car, both ladies drove it only for weekend joy ride, covered and garaged, e.g. low mileage, showroom condition...3K under Blue Book. |
| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
The price point for a used 03 Miata are quite attractive, considering other roadsters. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
Price on the later models is a bit high for how little creature comforts you get. Worth it once you find out how fun and reliable it is. Great on gas too |

| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
Very pricey in Canada (30k for a stripper), dealers do not want to deal. |
