Why cant they be daily drivers?
what car does he have already?
What do you think he should get instead?

They could be, but he lives in Cleveland - where they receive quite a bit of snow so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to not have a vehicle that is half way decent in the snow. But maybe he has a spare car for that.

The only car I know of he has is the Mustang.

A Legacy GT, like me j/k I would just think you would want a nice vehicle you could drive at other times and still enjoy it without working if it's raining, snowing, or sunny.

Maybe it is just me, but I hate making decisions. So by having an "all purpose car" I don't really have to think. You know how women can be with decisions...

Convertibles are summer cars.

Not ones that have heated leather seat options.

Both ghey IMO...and while the rotary engine issues have gotton better over the years, the power sucks as does the fuel economy.

Get a 6.0L GTO.

Personally, i'd save a few more bucks and go for a C5 'Vette

Not looking for a vette. Im still only 23 so insurance would be even worse than it will be for either one of these cars.

Looking to keep the price around $15k, and a new 370 is WAY over that.

Actually both of my vehicles are summer vehicles. I have the bike and a mustang convertible. Im used to having a car that sucks in snow and its really not that bad. Ive been driving the mustang in snow for 3 winters now and its nothing some snow tires and careful driving cant fix.

The only all purpose cars I like are things like STis and Evos which are both awd turbo cars, but too pricey for me. And like I said, driving rwd in the snow doesnt bother me much anymore, especially since Im done with school, I dont have to drive real far in the winter anyway.

Thought about a GTO but most of the 6.0 are a little too expensive for me. Any car I buy will have under 40k miles and stay under $15k and the only GTOs I saw that fit that are the 5.7s.

My mustang is only a v6, not a gt, which is one of the main reasons Im selling it. I only bought it to learn to drive stick anyway. And I dont want another convertible as a dd. Ive owned one convertible as a dd and drove one that my parents owned as a dd for a few months and I wont be doing that again. The only time Ill own another one is as a weekend only car.
