Ford: New Ford Mustangs: Newbie

I own a 2003 Mustang GT convertible, my third Mustang. I have
found them to be great, reliable, trouble free, reasonably priced
vehicles. If I were you I would not take anyone else's advice.
Drive one and get a total drive home price then decide for
yourself, if the Mustang suits your needs and your budget.

A new Mustang is coming out in '05. Might want to wait until then (late
'04). The current Mustang rides on a platform that is at least 2 decades
old. If you are going to get a Mustang, you should opt for the V-8 model.
It is worth the price premium over the "rental-car" Mustang v6. The
interior of the current car is very ordinary, actually, downright boring.

Drive the car.. then drive it again.

WHY do you like the Mustang?

It's a great car but not for everyone...

DOES IT FIT YOU..

As to V6 or GT.. THAT depends on what you want.

Drive both, if the GT doesnt light the fire in your belly but you like the
way the car fits you, just buy the v6.

And dont worry about that platform... it's been refined a great deal but not
TOO much. The Mustang is named that for a reason... just like the horse and
the plane that influenced its design and name.

If you buy one, play with it in an empty parking lot wet and snowy to learn
its handling habits... it's docile enough but a little different than a Front
Wheel drive

I have owned 8 of them from 65 to 88 models
