2016 Honda Accord Coupe vs 2015 Ford Mustang V6?

Which one would be better for a first car? I'm
Under 25 so insurance may be a problem for the mustang, I plan to keep the car until I graduate college or a year before that. I also care about looks more than speed. Also I want to know which one is cheaper to maintain since I live in the USA.

The honda is going to have a better track record for reliability. (In general… I don't trust Ford's reliability, though I love the mustang). The mustang definitely would have more power and be a fun ride.

The honda is going to have a much better mpg rate, which means it won't be emptying your pocket weekly for a tank of gas like the mustang.

The honda is FWD (front wheel drive) and mustang is RWD (rear wheel). For a first car, the FWD is better for winter's when there's snow on the ground. For the mustang, you'd end up wanting to buy winter rims/tires and summer/spring/fall rims and tires (that come with it).

I have a very modded 08 V6 mustang and it was my only car. It was making 360hp/300torque… I had summer slick tires, lowered, 3.73 gears, a meth kit, and the traction control was automatically shut off. That car was QUICK. When winter came (no snow on the ground), I was still driving around with summer slicks and traction control off. One night I took a turn going 90mph and the car swerved, rolled into a tree, and landed upside down. They needed the jaws of life to get me out of it. I later found out I hit black ice.

So I would get a mustang over an accord anyday. But make sure you're using appropriate tires and if you shut traction control off or do any mods… Make sure you're careful.

Since you're still in college and it will be a first car, I suggest neither of these vehicles.

Buy a used vehicle which will be:
1) less expensive to buy
2) less expensive to insure
3) won't depreciate in value as quickly as a brand new car will.

While you are Fixing Or Repairing Daily, your FORD. The Honda will be rolling along.

Go with the Honda.

The average economy car like an Accord is always going to be cheaper to maintain. As for looks, most Hondas built in the last 10 years or so have been ugly, demonstrating a lack of passion. However, since this is your first car, you might as well get something used. Your chances of getting in a crash are pretty high.
