Wildfires in Alberta have already raised the price of crude oil. Americans are buying big trucks...big SUVs...stupid as the price of oil is not gonna stay low for too long.

New model change for Mustang in 2015 has again made a not so reliable car, as it took Ford years to perfect the last model...ten years for that model.

I own a 2005 Ford Mustang GT and a 2015 FRS. Wanna get rid of the Mustang, as it's like driving a ship or bus compared to the FRS. Love the around town gas mileage of the FRS compared to lousy mileage around town in the Mustang. Even the Mustang Shelby GTR surely can't handle corners like what we now own. Oh, sure, great on a track (more speed in the Mustang), but FRS/BRZ way better for cornering on the average drive where we spend most of our time.

The Camaro is still hard to see out of despite new model changes to the body.

Once owning a small sports car, no reason to ever go back to a bigger car. I'd suggest thinking about another small car IF you need a change from FRS/BRZ, unless you need to carry more humans than two in a car.

Mustang and Camaro will see you in the Dealership for warranty repairs, fights with service writers over those repairs. Made in Japan cars as FRS/BRZ require virtually no time in a place you don't want to be.

If you did not live in rain country I'd suggest a MX5 Miata. There are also other new and used choices for small fun cars...yet more money to spend on them. How much you wanna spend ?

Sometimes it's best to just have two cars, each totally different from the other. Even a junker, beater is worth the fun (change of pace) of having two cars. And with a beater, no need to have collision insurance. I may replace my Mustang with a beater, a sensible choice.
