I know I'm coming at the wrong audience here but humor me. If you had the choice of a 1 year old mustang gt with the ten speed auto or a 1 year old focus rs, which would you have?

I am about to be semi retired in a year. I dont think the wife supports that.

I want a fun, under warranty car to drive when I give my son the ranger.

419 RWHP makes it an easy choice.

I rented an '18 Mustang last month. Not quite the same- it was an Ecoboost ragtop, with the ten-speed auto. Nice car- I put 1200 miles on it in a week, and it didn't move for three days. I want one.

My only hangups would be that I do like to have a back seat in which I can carry adults, and climbing out of the Mustang can be a nuisance, with as low-slung as it is and the length of the doors.

But if neither of these presents a problem for you and your intended uses...I really want a newer Mustang.

With everything already being V8, fast, or showy... I also voted RS. A gas sipper can still be fun with suspension work to take advantage of whatever power band the vehicle may have but sometimes its nice being able to disappear into traffic too.. Especially after doing dumb . I know I am not the only one here that can say that. lol
