2002 Honda Civic or 2002 Ford Mustang as first car?
I'm debating on getting a Civic with nearly 30 mpg or a Mustang with nearly 20 mpg, and I also live in Indiana where we get around a foot of snow every year.
Given it's your first car a civic would be cheaper on insurance and better for sketchy conditions (like snow).
Save the mustang until you're older and can afford a 2nd car for summer
Accord, and buy narrower snow tires for winter.
30 + mpg and front wheel drive makes much more sense than a 20 mpg rear wheel drive car in the snow. Sounds like your starting to think like a grown up, saving money is awesome once you start paying all your own bills.
The Civic, being a front wheel drive car, will handle snow better than the rear wheel drive Mustang. Also, if the Mustang has a V6, don't get it. Ford's 3.8L V6 isn't the most reliable engine ever built. Ford's 4.6L V8, however, is extremely reliable.
In a crash, I'd rather be in the Mustang than the Civic, though. Ford knows how to build some tough cars. I've crashed a few!
- Would I be able to trade in my 2009 Honda Civic for this 1998 Mustang Cobra? http://www.maximumautosearch.com/1998-Ford-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-Englewood-Colorado-80113/5205315 My dream car has been a Mustang Cobra, I bought the civic because I thought I was going to college but I was denied. Well now I have a really good job and I can afford to have this Cobra. Would I be able to trade it in even though I still owe money on the Civic?

- How important is it to know the base model of a vehicle, like for example 2005 honda civic LX or DX? I'm not quite sure on the difference I mean if the Model is a sedan, how relevant would the Base Model be. LX or DX for honda civic 2005 for example. Or like for FORD Trucks LT XLT or XL
