Buying My First Mustang

Buying My First Mustang
Well after 44 years it should be coming next week. I have been practical all my life so have a 1998 Ford F150 fully restored and a 2007 Prius which I am about to give to my wife. I decided to buy a Mustang. 2014 V6 Mustang Ruby-Red metallic with 6 speed manual premium with the pony package convertible. Wow what a mouth full. I have had the hardest time finding the one I want. I have to say I am more than ready. Have a lot of questions. Oh I do have a question and maybe some of you can answer it. If I wanted the above car in an automatic I could have one tomorrow. It took me 3 and half weeks to find this car. Why would anyone not want to drive the above car in a manual. After all it's a MUSTANG.

Well, i can see why somebody would buy an auto. If they commute a lot / health issues / drag racing / or just because they prefer not to row through gears all the time and would rather just cruz! I picked the manual for one reason and one reason only " flat out fun" i just get a thrill when grabbing gears and hitting that perfect down shift!

Congratulations. You're going to love it. I sure love mine. I ordered mine with the automatic because I had driven one for a week (rental) and found I could shift when I wanted to but did not HAVE to shift if I didn't want to. I used the SelectShift button extensively on twisty mountain roads during a just-completed two week road trip, but was happy to let it shift for me a lot of the time.
