Kind of your decision, not sure it matters much what others think. Do you need a pick-up truck, do you like the Mustang, the decision is all yours.

I just picked up a 2010 Ford SHO with the 365 HP eco boost that had less than 16,000 miles

It has all the options from performance package to sunroof and all around is a pretty nice car. It is heavy (almost 4400) but has paddle shifting, AWD, and is rock steady at 100 that is as high as I have had it.

Being by design it is more or less a poor man's CTSV, consequently because it does not have an expensive MRC option but a full time sport minded suspension, the ride is a little stiff for such a big car.

2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT. Turbocharged 250HP with AWD.

Absolutely love it for DD duties, especially during the winter with snow tires.

I just swapped out my 2011 Chevy Malibu LTZ for an updated 2013 Chevy Malibu LTZ as my DD from October to May. Might have 150 hp less than the vette, but still lots of pep for a 4 cyl.

It would help if you included your location under your avatar. Very few folks would have a rear wheel drive car as a DD in, say, Minnesota. On the other hand, that would be perfectly acceptable in my neck of the woods, although I prefer lighter vehicles.
