I love what they have done with the type r, especially since its FWD but i could not bring myself to walk back to that thing everyday in a parking lot. It looks like a mess.For the Mustangs, the 2015-2017 years are preferable currently for the better engine reliability then? Price wise the Horses in that year range with a v8 cost as much as a new 370z without too many KM's which is good to see. Would compare it back to back with the 370 likely.
I haven't considered the Vette's but I've seen enough reviews to know they can wipe or keep up with exotics that are at-least 3 times more expensive, definitely impressive. Would need to look into that but it may be out of my price range.
Don't know if I'd like a VW, not just the fwd but the turbo charged engine's make me warry of them. I do know that interior wise they're as great as the Audi's even, if I was looking at a fwd I'd also check the new Civic Type R's lol. The fake vent's on them are goddam lame though... Would not want a bmw just too many electronics in them today.
I don't know if people have actually documented any 'issues' with the motor in the 18+ Stangs, just that it's making a noise from the engine. My assumption is that long term reliability due to the noise is the concern from owners.I don't claim to be fully plugged in though.
Now the 18+ stangs have the active exhaust and the drivers LCD screen. They also introduced the 10 speed auto (maybe on 17s?) and beefed up the manual tranny, which was a complaint on the earlier years.
If it were my money i'd buy a used '18.
