my 88 mercury topaz has done me pretty good these last 3.5 years, but im thinking of getting something a little sportier in the upcoming months.

it will not be a race car, since i already have one of those. i dont need to be spending twice the money on go fast or replacement parts lol

soooo i was thinking of getting another 98-02 Fbody BUT iit would have a V6 and a 5spd
main reasons being, insurance, and price of course

Now, i have a few questions for you 98-02 V6 fbody owners

are there any years i should stay away from?

are they reliable? how hard to change spark plugs and stuff like that?

what kind of gas mileage are you getting with your 3.8 5spd? autos feel free to chime in on the mileage as well

this will be a big step up compared to my mercury lol

thanks in advance
