I love their sport cars, its just their reliability. I have to have a co signer and my dad won't co sign if I get a GM or even a Dodge.

To OP, it really depends on what you want. Do you want something fast? Or do you just want something that looks good? My brother owns a 2013 Mustang with the 3.5L v6. It has a lot of power, but compared to the 5.0L, it is nothing lol. It is good on gas though and will cut in an out of traffic. If you have no need to race or go 200 mph, I would go with the V6 Mustang.

Here is why I hate my brothers Mustang. First of all, it does not have a transmission dip stick. You have to rely on the computer to tell you when to change the fluid. You can't check to see if the color is right / if it burnt, etc. The computer goes on how many miles the car has and how many miles the manufacturer recommends before changing. We went to a Jiffy lube to get it changed, and they said after looking at it that only a Ford service center can change the fluid. Next, for coolant it uses Ford specialty orange (otherwise known as Dexcool or Dexkill in the GM vehicles). When this stuff starts to get bad, it will eat up your hoses, and kill your car. It is as simple as taking out that fluid and putting in normal green coolant though. Make sure when you do this every little drop of the orange coolant is out before you put the green coolant in. When they mix they create a jello like substance that will clog up your cooling system, overheating the car, and killing the engine.

Past that, I hope you don't back up into a pole or something because each tail light is 700 bucks (for a stock tail light housing).

Other than that, I like the car, there is a lot of room in his engine bay to work around in there, and it actually looks really easy to take the engine out. When looking at my almost 20 year old truck, there is no room in the engine bay lol. If you have any questions about the car, let me know and I'll try to answer them / take pictures for you, what ever it takes.

All in all, if you buy from a dealership, make sure you buy from a good one. If you ever need to have work done under warranty they may try and screw you over in the long run. They will try to rebuild things instead of giving you a new one. It just depends on the dealer, make sure you go to a good one.

If you are budget conscious, you could try and find one with a rebuilt title. This means that it was wrecked and insurance deemed it too expensive to fix. My brothers 2013 Mustang is on a rebuilt title, we bought it with 38k miles for 11,500.


Theres a 2014 mustang 3.7 with like 22k miles and they're asking 16k. I could get them down, best deal I've found so far. They have a red one or a silver one. Probably going to go tonight after their close to look at them.

I'm 17 I can't afford a GT, and I wouldn't want to pay the insurance. Every single review I've watched has said that the v6 is great on this model year and it changed their opinions on it.

Try a V8 model, peddle to the metal in it, then try a V6 option and have your personal opinion changed forever. In addition, why the hell are you going off what some people say in videos? try the damn car out for yourself, you don't even know if you'll like how it drives/feels.

Also call your insurance agencies up and ask for a price quote if you did get a V8... I drive a V8 sports car and it isn't that expense at all.

The V6's aren't bad. The V6 is honestly becoming the V8. Honestly with how much you save with buying a V6 version, you could do a V8 swap later if you decide you want that extra power. While you have the engine out of the car you could build it to make it better, putting is better cams and such. Just my thought, but the V6 aint nothing to look down on. This is 2015, not 1970. It blows my mind that a 3.7L V6 can create 300 hp and 280 ft lbs of torque, when the big ole 5.9L V8 in my brothers old '96 Dodge 1500 only made 245 hp, and 330 ft lbs of torque.

I haven't had a chance to go drive one myself so the little internet attitude can go away.

Older GM sports cars are more reliable than today's. GM has just become such a bad company after their bailout.


Lmfao your crazy kid the new engines been out going the older GM cars since 03 and up

like for a example this 1 million mile duramax

Stay with your Pontiac's




Also If I was searching for a sports car I would get a late model corvette but you don't like GM Another good sports car would be a nice 3000gt like a 99 model with a few mods under the hood




:facepalm:
I wasn't talking about GM's engine reliability specifically, I was talking about the car as a whole such as things that can break or have been recalled. Today's GM's have had many recalls and have many features that break due to all the electronics they stuff in the car.

- A little fact for you: Pontiac's are GM Made car.

- Stay with your trucks/diesel as they are very different than high performance cars in the way they are made and meant to perform.


Electronic's, im guessing you haven't seen any new cars these days cause all the new cars have loads of electronic's, they can have failure to so lmfao and if you care about a recall you must be a pansy

here's a gas powered one now stfu, plus the diesel was a example for how reliable a GM motor is
