And as too the Focus, it is a decent car for a daily driver(good on gas and cheap insurance) and can be quite fun for auto-x. The after maeket for it is quite large and with the new 2.3 motor out they are comming out with quite a few parts for it as well.
I was in the same boat, tired of paying $350 a month on auto insurance and a car note. So as of yet I can't get another Mustang, but I will say I have missed mine everyday since I sold her.
