Luminas and Tauras' are really problematic I've heard... Get an Jap. import.. they just dont die.

 

i have a mustang a cutlass and an acura they are all different it depends what you want the mustangs are a great car but they are rear wheel drive and a light car not that good for winter so is it a all year runner or is it going away in the summer you got to think about that and how much power do you want i deal with v8's alot but some people dont like the gas milage on them you got to factor in everything but mustangs are easy to fix and have big interiors but if you want a 4 cylinder i would look somewhere else ford arnt known for there small engines i would go tuner but if you dont mind v8 the 302 mustangin the fox body makes a great car ive had three of them and the engines are bulit proff and easy to fix

 

the luminas were reliable actually...those things would last well over 300k as well
probably why the opp used them

i woud recommend a 98-02 accord tho...very simple car to work on an tons of room for gear...the acousics would come out great too and its honda
