My poor dad got stuck with three daughters. I'm the middle, stuck between an older and younger sister who are both Mustang-obsessed. So I have the experience of being a Chevy fan surrounded by a family of Ford fanatics. My older sister used to have a Mustang, but she traded it a few years back for her Dodge Ram, which is her everyday driver (she stiffed my brother-in-law with their Intrepid). Younger sister currently owns a Mustang, which has had its fair share of mechanical problems, so it's safe to say her love affair with that pony is over. Even my mother prefers the Mustang over any of the other muscle cars out there.
I was lucky enough for my first car to be a Chevy. (Dad couldn't find a Ford at the time that he would even consider buying, let alone price.) My two best cars were both Chevys, although not Camaros. I've never had the pleasure of owning one, but that hasn't stopped me from wishing and planning to buy one.
Where I live, I see more Mustangs driven by guys, but there are quite a few women who have them. I've seen two GTs and a Cobra driven by women.
Would I have one? No.
I took a test-drive in a 2006 Mustang V6 back in October just to get an idea what they're like.
Verdict? Boxy and heavy. Drove like a tank. That's just my opinion. It was a nice car, but not for me.
(BTW, I currently drive a Ford Contour, aka the "Ford Lemon," or as one of the salesmen at the dealership called it one day last year when I had it in for repairs, "the worst mistake Ford ever made. Needless to say, I'm counting down the days until I can get rid of that albatross around my neck and buy a Camaro.)
So, is a Mustang a chick car? In my experience, yes.
