Over 40 years of continous history much of it record breaking and very colourful. It defined the early pony car and survived fuel crunchs, tightening emission standards and downsizing (mustang II) while its competitors died. see full Ford Mustang review

I see way too many of these things around. Most are the V6 variant which is just sad. I really feel like the wide variety of engines and packages dilutes the Mustang brand too much. I really think it is a poser car. see full Ford Mustang review

Subaru has a pretty good reputation and image...although it is a bit quircky as viewed by some. Reputation (a good one) usually has a major affect on resale value. see full Subaru Legacy review

I flagged brand reputation & image as a dislike too because I see so many people asking questions like ‘LGT or G35 or 3 series?.’ These are great cars, but you don’t want to buy one if you want impress people. This is a plus or minus depending on who you see full Subaru Legacy review
