Well I drove the Mustang for a couple of years. Then I got tired of having to pay for two cars. Gaz, insurance, storage for winter, winter car always broken, etc. I also wanted to buy a brand new car. No more problems, warranty, peace of mind.
I had a tight budget. My 3 choices at the time were. Golf 1.8T, Sentra SE w/ Sport Package, Civic SiR.
I bought the less expensive of the bunch.
I spent a year bone stock. Then I bought an Cold Air Intake. Then the next year I bought shocks and springs.
Now the car is 3 years old and the warranty is over so its fun time.
