The mustangs are really cheap and affordable ($18,000 with 16,000 miles) while hondas are little expensive even used ($24,000 for V6 used) and gas mileage is about the same on both cars (19/28) for the honda and (17/25) for the ford. Mustangs have been around for many many years so im guessing they are reliable and easy to maintain and hondas are just realiable in everybodys eyes. Both cars run on 87 octane, which is good and both are similar in hp with mustang at 300 and honda v6 at 272. I am 20 years old and I saved money for the past 6 years and now i can finally afford a car. Which one is a better buy for 5-6 years?
