TCC’s Bottom Line

The Chevy Camaro's no single-minded musclecar--there's good gas mileage and entertaining handling to be had, if you tick the right boxes.

Don't let the brash sound and classic looks fool you; the Ford Mustang offers some of the best performance-car bang for the buck--delivered with surprising sophistication.

TCC Likes

Classic but contemporary looks
• EPA estimated 30 mpg highway for base engine
Balanced handling gets better with 1LE

Strong, well-balanced V-6 models
Stunning V-8 power
Retro look with modern details

TCC Dislikes

Visibility an issue even in convertibles
There's not enough head room
There's not enough rear-seat leg room

Tight back seat
Some interior finishes could be better
No telescoping steering wheel
