First οf аƖƖ I аm 19, I know mοѕt οf уου wіƖƖ ѕау I ѕhουƖԁ nοt ɡеt ANY οf thеѕе cars, bυt thаt іѕ nοt whаt I аm asking. I аm аƖѕο buying thе car wіth MY MONEY, ѕο please ԁο nοt ѕау I аm spoiled, I hаνе found thеѕе cars fοr both around 14k, less thаn thе price οf a nеw honda civic.
I аm wondering whether a 2004 аnԁ up 350z οr a 2005 аnԁ up Mustang GT wουƖԁ bе a better сhοісе fοr someone going tο college. I know power wise, thеу аrе similar, bυt whаt I аm looking fοr іѕ whаt іѕ more reliable, whісh costs less tο maintain аnԁ ɡеt repairs οn? AƖѕο, whісh wіƖƖ bе less prone tο brеаk down? Dοеѕ anyone whο owns аnу οf thеѕе two hаνе аnу knowledge οf thе real world (NOT EPA FIGURES) gas mileage οf thеѕе cars?
AƖѕο, whісh οf thеѕе cars іѕ better equipped safety wise, аnԁ whісh ɡοt better crash test ratings? I ԁο nοt thіnk I wουƖԁ need a back seat, bυt іѕ thе trunk іn thе 350z bіɡ enough? Cаn іt fit one οr two bags οf golf clubs? Whісh іѕ basically thе mοѕt economical (although I know еіthеr aren’t really thе best whеn talking аbουt аn economical car) car?
Anԁ please ԁο nοt talk аbουt insurance rates, I wіƖƖ nοt bе registered οn whatever car i ɡеt, I wіƖƖ bе registered οn mу mom’s explorer.

I would get the 350z because i do not like american cars that much. I think the ford would cost less to repair but the 350z is probley more reliable. I dont have any of these cars so i dont know that much. Ask your dealer about parts but at the car dealer the parts are a lot more expensive. At the dealer they could easly look up the test crash ratings. Look at the carfax before buying either one.
I’m pretty prone to Mustangs. Probably because I have one. An honest 25 mpg. And dependability?? I’ve got almost 350,000 miles on the original engine. The only thing I’ve changed was a timing chain at about 200,000 miles. Snzip
Nissan is more reliable than Ford, but I would get the Mustang. It has a back seat, the sound of a V8 (although the 350z sounds great too), at the price of 1 or 2 mpgs. It also comes down to styling preferences. I’ve always liked Mustangs, but I love imports too. The Mustang’s gonna be safer, since it’s bigger. Trust me, if you’re going to miss a back seat when you want more than one other person in the car (unless you’re sneaking an illegal alien across the border, then the big trunk will suffice). I would get the Mustang, because although it’s not Nissan, Ford’s reliability has gotten better over the years.
My dad has worked on fords all his life and they have come along way but they are not realiable so I would go with the a z
350z cant belive u askd this question
The 350Z is a classic home on a hill with a view. The mustang is a trailer by comparison – a dime a dozen and driven by the uneducated.
Nissan 350Z better mpg, more reliable, better handling.
The Z is more reliable than the mustang, but costs much more to maintain. Overall the mustang should cost you less money in this area.
Winner: Mustang
Gas Mileage is similar, but you could squeeze out a few mpg better with the Z. The Z has a much more high performance engine than the mustang, it will burn a lot of gas if you drive it hard, but if you accelerate slow it will get good mileage. The Z is also lighter and has a better drag coefficient , real world the Z gets better mileage as long as you are accelerating slowly.
Winner: Z
Mustang accelerates slightly faster than the Z.
Winner: Mustang
Mustang has rear seats and more trunk space, the Z has a huge strut brace that takes up a lot of trunk room. (however, it also has way better handling.)
Winner: Mustang
Neither of these are begginers cars, but safety wise the mustang is better especially for a 19 year old. Crash test is similar, but the Z has multiple blind spots and requires a more experienced driver. Neither of these vehices should be driven in snow and ice and both perform poorly in rain. For a 19 year old I would strongly recomend a front wheel or all wheel drive vehicle, but if you must chose one chose the mustang.
Winner: Mustang
I think the Mustang would be the better option for a 19 year old college kid.
