18 Months and 33,000 miles later
and I still couldn't be happier with my decision to buy this car. Yeah, it has been in the shop a few times to fix gear whine, replace the fuel tank, make the front end stop popping, and actually attach the front seat covers. But, I still have a smile on my face every day I drive it.
The real reason I know I made the right decision though isn't because of the smile I get, not because of the looks and comments it still gets, and not because my now 4-year old daughter thinks it's the coolest thing in the world. The real reason is that over the last 18 months, not once have I driven by one of the other vehicles I considered and said "I wish I would have bought that." Now I looked at probably close to 20 vehicles before I decided to wait on the Stang. 350Z, Boxster, 330, S40, GTO, Magnum, A4, TL, TSX, S2000, is300, Mini Cooper, Lightning, and X-type are just a sample of all the cars I looked at.
The Mustang is a great car and great value.

I'm in the same boat. I ordered mine just the way I wanted it and 14 months later, there is nothing I wish I had got, nothing I wish I hadn't got. And I love my color choices (Torch Red, ICAP, IUP) as well even though I ordered it sight unseen.

I feel the same way you do Radman. I have had the car a little over 17 months now and with 8,700 miles on it I have not one regret. It is a nice car for a good price, and I always enjoy driving it.
