Default Mustang or cobalt

Ok i am thinkning about buying a mustang or cobalt, both 5 speed, but mustang has more power and cobalt less power, mustang limited slip diff rear wheel drive, and cobalt 3.83 ratio axle and front wheel drive. So i dont know what to get here but i am thinking about the mustang over the cobalt, cobalt has 4dr mustang has 2 door, cobalt for 11k and mustang for 23k, and mustang is a gt premium by the way, cobalt is just a regualr cobalt, and for the mustang i can get a pretty good deal becuz i know someone at the dealership, and both cars are at the same dealership, and i would really like some help with a decision

My insurance company rented me a cobalt when my car was in the body shop and it's not a very comfortable car to drive. I suggest you rent one for a day or two and go for a long drive. That's a good way to get a feel for the car.

a mustang and a cobalt are like apples and oranges but i would have to say mustang just because i hate little front wheel drive cars. not to mention a cobalt is just the chevy version of the dodge neon. lol

Under 21 years old-Cobalt.
Over 21 years old-Mustang GT.

If you are wondering why, contact your insurance company for a quote on each.

I might change it to 25 lol.

But seriously... it depends what you want. An econo-crap box? Cobalt. It is good on gas, and cheap. My buddy has one (SS Supercharged) and I don't think it is uncomfortable to ride in. It was a tad bit slower than my MS6 was, but he got better mpg, on average about 4 or 5.

You are also talking about about 10k+ difference in price....

Mustang. But I'm a little biased since a mustang is the only car I'd ever buy. However, if you would be happy with either, then buy the cheaper one.

why are these your only two choices? Seems like an odd pair to have it narrowed down to.

But either way, not even a thought, mustang all the way!

It's two vastly different cars. Obviously most folks on here will say the Mustang since it's Ford. But what's the purpose for either car? I can tell you what I would buy but then again, I'm the only one who knows what I would need that particular car for.
