Hi.
My car died a few days ago. I've always driven a rather old V6 Oldsmobile, and I'm pretty used to it. Unfortunately, the ability to find people who know how to repair it for some reason has become quite difficult.
That said, I think it's about time to look for something new. I'm still interested in a V6 or, at least, something with some power. Gas mileage doesn't hurt, either.
With that in mind, I've checked out a few dealers and makes. I've found that basically all of the available V6 start around ~25kish. That's fine in and of itself, but it creates a bit of a dilemma for me.
That dilemma is that there are 2 sports cars available for approximately the same price: The Camaro and the Mustang. These cars get comparable, and even in some cases better, gas mileage than the other normal family V6s. Additionally, they definitely have the power I was after. The additional fun electronic features catch my eye, too.
So I'm trying to decide - Camaro, Mustang, or other? I've been looking at 2011s only, though I could consider a 2010 as well. Looking at brand new preferably, as I'm sick of repairs. Trying to keep things under 35k.
Any suggestions or opinions? I've test driven a lot of cars, and I'm favoring the Camaro a bit, but the internal visibility is a bit of a downer, and the Mustang is really nice and seems to handle a bit better. I really don't care about make.
I need to make a decision within the next week or so. Any thoughts are welcome.
Thank you very much!
(Edit note: I'm really, really not a car person. I don't know much about the inner workings of these beasts)
