Thinking of ordering an '06 vert. How much wind noise can I expect at hwy speeds? (with everything buttoned up) I don't want to hear wind swooshing when I'm not in topless mode. Is there only on window swith for both the back windows?

You're correct on the single switch for both rear windows.

As for noise levels? I understand since the top is insulated that noise is lower than what many folks remember convertibles to be like. But what is too loud is subjective.

I recommend a test drive!

The '05 is considerably quieter than the '02 Mustang I had before this one. The noise isn't that loud, but don't know how much louder than the coupe.

I test drove a GT vert earlier this year and posted a test drive report. I really was amazed at how much more noisy it was than my 02 GT coupe, even when just sitting in it in the parking lot. It's still a great car though and I'm going to order one this winter. If you're interested in one, just don't expect it to be quiet.

IMO the cars pretty good. Its no F150 (super quiet) or Town Car, but remember, it’s a muscle car! You wouldn’t want it to handle and float on air like a town car? The coupe should always be a little quieter then a vert. If it matters, I would never complain about the noise in the coupe, in fact, it really never crossed my mind. Just get the shaker 500 or 1000 to make the car really quiet!

I don't get a lot of wind noise. I do notice a little traffic noise from the back, but it's not bad.

There's only one switch for BOTH back windows? That's weird.
I drive with my window(s) down 90% of the time and that would really get on my nerves.

I was a bit concerned about the one switch as well, but now that I have lived with it, i LOVE it. When I want all windows down I just hit the Auto fronts and hold one button down for the backs. Up is even better. It would be a pain to try to get 2 switches working together.

I drive with my windows down all the time as well, and there hasn't really been an issue with having both rear windows on one swith.

I think there is much less wind noise in this one than there was in the 00. 1/2 the time the radio is so loud tho that I wouldn't hear it anyway.

I think there is more wind noise than the coupe but not alot more. It is a quieter vert, windnoise wise, than previous verts. The pipes are actually louder than the wind, which is a good thing of course.
