The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro vs. the 2010 Ford Mustang

If you are looking to buy a new car in Winnipeg, you have to remember that you can never be too prepared. You need to know what you want and what you expect before you get to the dealership. Find the car you want and do your research. Look past the obvious good stuff about it because all new cars are better than what they used to be. The Chevrolet Camaro is a fine car, as is the Ford Mustang. But which one stands out more in the crowd?

The Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang are rear-wheel drive, manual transmission cars. Both have a sleek body style that attracts men and women. But there are differences and you need to be aware of them before you make a choice between the two cars. The Camaro has a smaller engine, but more horsepower than the Mustang. It also has a six-speed manual transmission, while the Mustang has a five-speed transmission. The Mustang tops the Camaro in city fuel economy, but the Camaro beats the Mustang on the highway. Getting 6.8L/100km on the highway compared to the Mustang’s 7.6L/100km means more Winnipeg highways to burn before you have to fuel up.

The powertrain and roadside assistance warranties on the Chevrolet Camaro are longer than the warranties for the Ford Mustang. The Camaro comes with a standard 60-month/160,000km warranty, while the Mustang has a 60-month/100,000km warranty. The Camaro has speed sensitive steering, a trip computer and service interval warning. The Mustang does not come standard with these features and the trip computer is only optional. One other big difference is OnStar. The Camaro comes with a twelve-month package and this is not applicable to the Mustang. OnStar is a handy service if you break down or have an accident. OnStar saves hundreds of lives every day in North America by alerting emergency services instantly if your airbags deploy.

The Chevrolet Camaro offers more headroom, legroom, and even a larger fuel tank. The Mustang, still a high quality vehicle, just cannot quite compare to the overall standard features and appeal of the Camaro. The choice is yours, but if you are trying to find one of these cars at a Winnipeg dealership, know what comes standard and what you have to pay extra to have. The Camaro just makes more sense.
