need suggestions of 13' GT or V6?

My 2013 GT has Sync and Sirius, but no Nav. I think the Electronics Package is overpriced in the current gen of the Mustang. I use a Garmin Nuvi 1350LM, and it is much better than the current DVD based system. When MyFordTouch arrives in the next generation of cars, it will be a much better option.

V8. Only choice. Give up the nav screen and get aftermarket unit for a 1/4 of the price. But I guess it depends on what you want. Me I c and out of a fully loaded 08 gt for a base model 12 with only the brembo package and 3.73 gears as options. Performance options only. The cloth seats to me feel better and hold u in better than the leather seats that u slide around on. Buy ultimately its ur decision. Good luck

I went with the v6 but that was because I wanted the options over power (namely the glass roof) and like was said the operating costs were too much in favor of the v6 imo. Gas milage was a big factor for me.... don't ever see the gas prices coming down so even a few extra mpg will matter.

You're basically saying you're willing to give up a v8 5.0 for the price of FOUR iPads...???

A demo video of the sync directions in action... Ford SYNC with Traffic, Directions & Information - A real-life demonstration of how Ford SYNC works - YouTube

The non nav Sync is great. Talked on the phone extensively and played 3 albums from my iPhone over usb on the way home today. Top was up due to an animal being transported, but it worked great at over 85 mph. Speech recognition has greatly improved over a 2011 V6 Convertible I used to borrow from a buddy. Speech reco and phone work well up to 40mph with the top down. I think thats pretty amazing.

2011 or 2012? If so. You will get an upgrade that fixes the issues soon. Trust me. Its MUCH better. I was in your same place until I tested the update.

Why don't you drive both cars and see which one you like and is the best fit for you? I ordered a V6 base with performance package because its what I wanted. I'm going to this from my 06 Lariat Crew Cab Diesel F-250. That truck had more options and niceties than any Mustang made, but I don't need all of that stuff to enjoy a vehicle. Plus my payments will be very low, I will get great fuel mileage compared to what I was getting, and it enables me to save a good chunk more money every month. Yes it has 3/4 of the hp as a GT, but 3 years ago ~300 hp was what we knew of a Mustang GT. 300 hp on a stock car was great.
Its your choice
Its your choice

hey guys, here is the situation, I got a awkward money for my new car, it around 31,000. My performance is GT basement without any options (maybe including the Track Package.). However, I am crazy for the navigation of this car but it has to do with Premium, if I jump to GT Premium, that costs a lot.
Therefore, I consider to V6 Premium, it could bring the navigation. However, I still cannot give up the V8 engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
need suggestions!!!!!!!!!!! thanks guys~
