Since you are looking for an "all in one" car, the Mustang GT or new STI make sense. You could always get a previous gen STI hatchback but then it becomes a used car and if you're stuck on new then that won't work. Sounds like you have a thing for the Mustang and that's great. Bang for buck it's probably the best option for you based on your previous statements minus the winter/practical factor. Excited to see which direction you go.
I'm with most on here by saying get yourself a nice, cheap, reliable car and then buy a garage queen for track, cruisin', shows, meets, whatever. Personally, I could give a rats fuck what I daily as long as there's something waiting for me in my garage. If I was stupid rich I'd have a garage full of awesomeness and daily a Yaris.
and a 5.0L Mustang is known for being eco friendly?
lol i commented to a honda friend that i got a personal best of 11L/100kms with mine (3.73 gears) on the highway commuting between langley and vancouver on hwy 1 and he told me that would have been his personal worst in the city

Doesn't seem like that big of a difference... $850/year according to them. Except having to put Premium in the M3. People actually run their Mustangs on 87 octane?
MPG wasn't one of the categories that he was worried about in the OP, so when I said that the M3 beat the Mustang, I was referring to his categories, not every single theoretical category you can come up with.

preferably not. i think i read somewhere that you lose about 20hp by running 87. i did 87 back when prices reached $1.54/L, but my engine started to knock and now i won't go lower than 91.
i can't feel any difference between 91 and 94 however...

If you are trying to defend your post in every imaginable way, then I will play too.
If you reviewed his first post, this is one of his categories (optional though, but emphasis on MUCH):
"-Would MUCh rather a new car. I know a used car is cheaper, blah blah blah, i love owning a car and knowing it was lovingly cared for in every way."
In all seriousness, you have your options, now go try them out. it's one thing to spew out numbers over the internet and it's another to actually go try to see if those numbers are worth a damn.
A number of folks in this thread gave you more than enough options, like for example, having a weekend warrior and a simple daily. Some of the ways listed would save you some money, possibre some new shoes for your future car.
Once you've been out doing your thing and test driving, you'll have a better sense of direction where you want to go. Who knows you might even end up with an ITR or a Fit.
