=== after the new wears off and you are still happy with the Mustang you will know that the best buy is the Mustang =============== forget the rice burner .....
 
In chicago you want awd. Get the WRX or a ralliart lancer (if you don't want a manual vehicle). Can't drive a mustang in the winter.
 
I am planning on getting a new car in a few weeks and I am stuck between the 2011 Subaru WRX which is about $26,000 and the 2011 Ford Mustang V6 which is about $23,000. The WRX gets its power from a turbocharged 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel drive system, the combination returns 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway also it has 4 doors. While The 2011 Ford Mustang V6 is almost as powerful as last years GT and has a new aluminum 3.7 liter Duratec 24-valve V6 pumps out a healthy 305 horsepower and a respectable 280 ft-lbs of torque mated to a six speed manual transmission while getting 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. They both have 0-60 times of about 5 seconds or less. I just would like to know which is a better more reliable choice since I've read the Wrx isn't reliable but I would like to know why? What problems do the WRX'S have? I will use the car as a daily driver here in Chicago. Which car would handle better and be more reliable? Please be detailed.
 
i would get the Ford. first of all its a mustang soooo... yeah awesome. The Ford will probably be more reliable and IF something does happen the parts and repair will generally be cheaper because its American made. While the Subaru is considered and import also its a compact so there are a lot of mechanics that dont really like working on them depending on what part of the US you live in. They just dont like them bc theres not much room in the engine area so it makes it hard to do even simple things like changing a belt drive. As for handling and such there shouldn't be much of a difference until it starts snowing then bc the Mustang is rear wheel drive it can get away from you so just take it easy. not to mention if you were to put pipes on the car the mustang will sound like a beast rather than a hive of bees attacking.
