Both machines were very peppy but the Mustang suspension was far more precise than the Escort (at the price of a stiffer ride). I drive nearly 600 city miles each month and figure, at $1.00/gal, the Mustang will cost me about $12/month more (using the sticker city mileage ratings for comparison). The inexpensive Escort AM/FM/Cas equipment had Dolby but was apparently unable to accomodate Cr or Metal tapes. The Mustang happened to have Ford's "premium" sound which was indeed better than their "ordinary" sound but was not really better than my $350 Clarion in my pickup.
