Love my GT

I bought my Mustang GT 1 year ago. It was a low mile, V8, convertible. I absolutely love it! A very fun car. The styling is great - better than the '99's and 2K's, and much nicer than the earlier boxy style. The fit and finish is fine. It did have some acid rain damage from the previous owner. A trip to the body shop and $300 later solved 95% of the problem. The car is black, and I am very fussy. It's a bit noisy with the top up while on the highway, but heck, it's a convertible. The leather seats are very comfortable. I love getting into it. The 4.6L engine and 5 speed transmission are super. Plenty of power. Nice sounding stock, dual exhaust. I use the car mostly on weekends - as a fun car. It will be stored for the winter. This car will never see snow, ice and salt!

A friend has a BMW 3 series convertible. Sorry.... dollar for dollar, no comparison to my pony. The BMW is a high tech, high priced, sterile car. The Mustang is an all American muscle car.

I could see buying a 6 cylinder coupe as a family or second car, although rear wheel traction would be a problem in winter.
