Thinking about trading my GT coupe in for a GT convertible. Just wondering how the side and rear visibility is compared to the coupe? A friend of mine has a BMW Z4 convertible and it's literally impossible to see back and to the left or right and rear visibility is also horrible. I'd imagine it's a good bit better in the bigger Mustang right?

 

Been enjoying mine for six years now. No real visibility issues for me with the top up.

Of course, with the top down, it's really good.

 

My top is normally dropped, but I have never noticed a visibility issue when it is up.

 

I've never really had any visibility issues with mine. The blind spot may be a touch larger than in the coupe because the coupe has the fixed quarter windows, but also keep in mind that the convertible has windows just behind the door (where the coupe doesn't). My guess is that it is a comparable blind spot, just slightly moved around.

And living in San Diego, you really can't go wrong with a convertible. This is probably the best place to own one, practically year round enjoyment of the top down experience (except for days like today).

 

No complaints from us kind sir, day or night.

 

I figured as much, thanks guys.

 

it weird that you ask that because I have never even thought about that, I guess because I have never noticed a blind spot....

 

No issues at all... other than not enough warm weather to enjoy!

 

I sat in a coupe this weekend and there is no greater blind spot with my convertible. Just in a little different spot is all since the convertible has back windows the area just behind the seats is open and the blind spot moves toward the back of the car.

 

sounds like the new ones are much better, but the SN95 verts were terrible to see out of!

 

Not too bad compared to other cars but I would think a coupe would be better in most instances. I've owned many 'verts, even the ones with the horrible plastic rear window, and I'm not going to complain about this Mustang at all. In comparison, my Trans Am is just horrible for blind spots, and it's no wonder they built so few overall. If owners didn't constantly use that passenger side mirror, forget it. Turning your head is not enough making parking lots extremely tough.
mrp5150, if you still haven't bought one yet, I think you will be fine. Nothing like a test drive though. Good luck!

 

Have you had the chance to sit in one yet, or drive one?

 

I haven't yet, no. I'm in between buying a Bullitt or a GT Vert. Either way, I won't have the money for a few months.

 

It's all good. Nothing like dropping the top and just driving. Not too shabby with the top up either!
