My 2021 Mustang GT is for sale and I’m looking for a replacement.
What else is out there that is new, interesting, fun and good looking. What car around $110,000 brings joy? I’m not interested in EV(Kia EV6 GT could be had for $110k). I don’t want a 4 cylinder(Sorry Civic Type R). I’m not interested in Supra or Nissan Z. I don’t care about practical as I have other cars for shopping and towing duties. But it will be daily driven so reliability is a concern. Throw it out there? |

Well, you've killed off any performance car with those criteria. New Model 3 Performance (2's 0-100, sub 10 second quarter or less; $95k with options) with Plaid will be insane but you said no EV so that's out.
RS3 maybe? M2 would be my pick if I fitted in the damn thing.

I’m sure there’s something fresh, that’s “interesting, fun and good-looking” for $90K or so.
Spend the $20K balance on a nice car to drive the both of you around. |

Although M2 is pushing more $120K new ... RS3 is in the right spot though. RS3 Sedan in Charcoal thanks Although ... Audi's website states. "The Audi RS 3 Sedan is no longer available to order. Due to high demand, production has been exhausted. Contact your preferred Audi Dealer for more information or view another Audi performance model that may suit your needs." Would have to be a demo or near new then

That is a tough one.
For me, apart from a Mustang, it would be Supra, M2 or RS3. Problem I had with those is that the M2 looks like *** and is more expensive than 110k, and the Supra doesn't know if it is a BMW or a Toyota. The RS3 I like, I just wish it looked a bit more special. It looks a bit bland to me. These things are of course very subjective. For me a 4 cyl and an EV wouldn't be an option. Just personal choice. I would have loved a Porsche, but a 6 cyl Cayman or 911 is just way too expensive. It keeps coming back to a Mustang. Get another one! |

I hear you mate.
M2 looks damn fine to me and what a toy to drive daily. You’ll find some lower spec around 120k or abouts you won’t regret it. This bit above that budget but I can’t see what’s fugly about it https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...G-AD-22734816/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That RS3 has some appeal. They have nailed that dash. Take note Ford.

I would have thought a new Macan S. But if that is too expensive at $133K for the six cylinder, there is always the four cylinder at $103K.

That Mustang is porn roK ! but Top Ghia quotes NEW.
Barring the RS3 there isn't much else @ 110K performance wise NEW. Can you nudge yourself a bit higher Top Ghia ? What DA limit price ? Is LOW K pre owned an option ? There is these last ones https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...21786068/?Cr=3 OR https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...13868670/?Cr=5

The Stinger is a great all rounder but it does nothing for me. You don’t look back at it after driving it or go out to the garage just to look at it. |
