My wife wants a RED, convertible V6 automatic.


What is the best year... 2011, 2012 or 13?


and why?


I just looked at a 2011... the hood looked like swiss cheese on the front. I couldn't believe my eyes.

 

I'd say a '13 because it'll most likely be in warranty and WILL have standard HID headlights.

 

13/14. opt for the GT. the sound with the top down is INTOXICATING. cops should be pulling me over for being drunk on the sound of the Coyote 5.0 w/ the top down.

 

I'm prejudiced, but...

 

I say go with the newest model you can afford..... oh and pics of the wife ya know just so we can help pick out the right car .....

 

Nice premium, it's dying for a spoiler though!

 

This is simple....let the wife pick it out (which one to buy). Win, win for you, as you get to pick out the next one.

 

I wonder if the OP drives a mustang. If his wife gets a mustang and he drives it just once then he will be craving the 5.0. Happened to a couple by me recently. Wife bought a Got to have it green convertable and he couldn't take it for long. Ended up with a slightly used 2012 Roush Stage 3.

As far as what year to get, it is what you can afford. I personally like the 13/14 years and with the 2015 around the corner you can probably get great deals on the brand new 2014 models. I paid $17,995 for mine new but it is a manual base hardtop.

 

Agree with getting her the GT auto. Unless she is going to put lots of miles on it such as a long every day commute, the GT is just the way to go.

 

The reason she doesn't have a backup camera is that I DON"T like spoilers. Guess that's what makes a horse race.

 

Best thing is do, like mentioned, let her pick it out. That way your in the clear if she second guesses. I gave the Wifey the '13 Mustang brochure, and this is what she picked. Looks a lot like Tom's. She absolutely loves the car. Good luck.

 

I change my vote.. Buy a '67 Convertible.

 

newer is always nice! 13/14 body styling and stock components give you the best value imo
