Oh yeah? I don't think so, and I've owned four P-cars and now a Mustang...
$30K new is cheap to me. Handles quite well, though because of weight not quite as well as my old suspension modded 2400 pound curb weight 911S did. Air that blows ice cubes, leather covered seating that was used in the GT500 of that year, 6 speaker stereo with CD player & ipod line in. Faster in a straight line than the old 911S was...roughly mid 13's in the quarter. As a driver, the Mustang has great overall balance. All this and the computer readout says I've averaged 20.4 mpg. I'd say "spirited" driving...my favored interstate cruise speed is 80-85...at a bit over 2,000 rpm. Redline is 6,500....same as many P-cars but I have two more cylinders.
On a 500 miles run, the 911S would leave me feeling beaten up...after 500 miles in the Mustang, I'm ready to play some pool for a few hours...
Sure, there are more expensive cars, and there are faster cars. There definitely are cars with more "staus".
Big deal....
