Under no circumstances will I buy a Diesel VW. Europe - where I come from - is full of those dull wagons. Basically, I am chosing the Mustang for the looks and the fun. Therefore, this also excludes Japanese cars.

Here are some examples of what I consider buying:

Or maybe if I go for a GT:

What do you think?

Don't buy either of the last two - you don't want anything that's been modded, because chances are the driver love to drive and wanted his car faster, therefore chances are very high that it was driven hard. You want a bone-stock 'granny car', one that was owned by a little old lady and driven to the store. The top 3 look OK, but none with a 5-speed manual! I'd have to say I like your third pick, the dark car on tan roof, 2002 I think.
