First post, Confessing my sins and asking forgiveness-I own and drive daily a 2102 Mustang GT auto. roush stage 2 suspension, higher than stock axle ratio (3.55), lightly tuned. It is a great car, handles well and all the power/torque you need.

But - my wife (who bought it for me!) is not enamored of it. 1. Ride too harsh. 2. No usable back seat.

So - alternatives needed. I test drove a 2008 335i, sports package, 33k miles, $30,000.

Awesome. Civilized. Handles. Performs. Tech light years ahead of the GT. etc, etc, you guys have heard it all.

Question one - isn't that kind of cheap? It's a certified car..
Two - what is real life city/ highway mileage? Mustang with my normal driving gets 18/28.
Three - is there a better BMW around those hp/torque numbers (at around that price point) I should look at?

Thanks for your help. Look forward to joining the family!

The Mustang handles better than the BMW....

Sorry I didn`t see your previous post before purchasing the audi, I was going to recommend a sport package 135i.. Brilliant machine.
