Retro and Loving it

Just got a new 2008 convertible Mustang for my wife and the car is great. I've always been nostalgic and yearn for the good old days and Mustang does just that. Ford did a good job mixing retro with modern features for an icon that keep heads turning. The front end screams Mustang with the original 1960s look. Just like the 1964 version, the 2008 with its V6 is peppy and has good power under the hood. I opted for the automatic (its an extra $995) over the manual as I cant relive the past and the shift is smooth and barely noticeable. Gas mileage is sitting at 28 mpg on the highway for my car.

Anyone who gets a Mustang should strongly consider the upgrade interior with its retro aluminum dash and reset gauges. I also like the fact that the convertible top has to be manually locked and unlocked, one less thing to break. There are many options to choose from (a base Mustang doesn't come with much)and we got a loaded version including heated leather seats, upgraded satellite stereo and the pony package for under $30,000.

For the money and combined with the tradition, Mustang is still the king of the pony cars.
