I like the analogy pro wrestler with kung fu skills!....I think that is why I am considering the mustang.

After driving the mustang I wish I could own both and have the choice depending on my mood.


Thoughts after a 20 min test drive

Pros
Nice body styling
Higher quality interior, not a huge fan of the chrome toggle switches, odd looking start button
Car felt more solid
Nice passing power on the highway
Nice looking signature lighting front and rear
Different settings for weight of steering
Lots of options/gadgets


Cons
Car feels big - got used to it pretty quick
Body roll
Reliability? Low resale?


Hard to decide because the cars are so different

FRS feels more precise and exciting to drive, just wish the interior mainly the (hvac controls) were nicer.

Mustang feels plush, more solid, more power but a bit 'boaty' and softer ride



My wifes (not a car fan) initial thoughts was the mustang feels more comfortable, solid but does not feel like a sports car.

She felt the FRS felt like a sports car

If you don't care about rear seat, go test drive the new Miata. Tune alone can bump power to 25-30hp/tq.
