I had my 1999 35th Anniversary Ford Mustang for 4 years, and it was a great, dependable car for me. I had it while I was in high school, so it was a huge confidence boost to be driving a muscle car, especially one with awesome emerald green paint! The engine always sounded great whenever I started it up and drove it, but the overall weight of the car made it feel a bit sluggish unless you really laid in on the gas. Speaking of gas, it was pretty terrible on gas mileage, so I would not recommend it for someone on a budget. I had the V6 automatic package, which would be why it was slower than what most people expect it to be, so if you get a Mustang, go with the manual GT!
