Good question... I love my '76. I drive it to work at least once a week and on my days off for enjoyment. She's not quite the powerhouse that my 5.0 fox-body GT was, but she's fast enough (in the 16s in the 1/4.... look up 1/4 times for a stock '73 "real Mustang" with a 302/2bbl or a 1982 "The BOSS is BACK" Mustang GT and you'll find out she's every bit as fast as they are/were) to get in trouble with, and handles and stops nicely.
It's all a matter of preference and/or ignorance as to why people like one Mustang or hate another. I honestly don't care at all for the looks of the 1979-1993 fox-body cars, I've owned/co-owned 4 of them total because they were either cheap thrills or cheap transportation, but never really had a passion for them.
