Wow,37 grand for a V6 Convert....That's quite a bit..

 

I recently read in my MT mag that in a comparison test between the Camaro, Eos, 200, and Mustang convertibles, it came in 3rd out of 4. The Camaro won, with them praising the suspension improvements for the '12 MY car. Kinda took me by surprise.

 

I think the V6 Mustangs have always had a place... and now they have the best motor and chasis yet... so they're defnitely a good ride.

The thing with a convertible is that once the top is down, nothing else matters. The wind and the sun just feel good... even better if you have a good exhaust note.

 

Nowadays the V6 is kinda crazy. It's over 300hp and still gets 30+ mpg. That's pretty impressive.

 

Still pretty much a secretary's/hairdresser's car, albeit a significantly quicker one, that's primary purpose is comfortable cruising than true sport/performance driving. Not that there is anything wrong with that, really, but I imagine Ford could dial up the sportiness a touch more without loosing the cruising elements.

 

I actually have not driven the v6 and convertibles have never really been my fav anyway. I bet it could look snazzy with some aftermarket lovin' but it is what it is.

 

They tested the V6 to be a high 14 sec car?

 

"We quickly discovered there are no paddles, and the shifter only allows shifting between First, Second, Third, and Drive. When put in Drive, the shifts are too slow. In addition, the ride felt marshmallowy in turns, yet that didn't translate into a comfortable ride"


THEN BUY A GT WITH A STANDARD!!
