I'll take a look at the Mustang when it's got an IRS, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a boat. 3500lbs for the current V6 and over 100 more for the V8. I've driven a fast boat before. Not interested. Now if they get it down to 3000lbs with a V8 and a usable back seat, I'll be interested.

I have driven a 2012 V6 Mustang convertible. It's a turd of a car. I've also driven a Focus for about a week. Mediocre car. Not impressed. Focus ST seats hurt my back, as to base Focus seats. Not impressed.

Now go sit in an '06 and you'd take the '13 everyday. I didn't say it was good, I said it was better than the previous years.

Anything is better than an 06... but being better than the worst car ever built doesn't mean its good.

I would go with the FRS, and the 370z. Here in America, I see too many Mustangs, and Camaros on the streets. Plus, I think those cars are heavy (They do look heavy), and aren't turn very well into the corner. It your driving style. You pick a car you like.
