Ok so I know its probably going to be a serious stretch to get a serious response out of the people here, but here goes.


So Ive owned my car for about two weeks now and I absolutely love it more than any previous car that Ive had. Im only 24, so saying that, I havent experienced a ton of vehicles. But Ive owned a WRX/300zx/etc, and driven many other high end vehicles a time or two. Yes, I know there are many cars out there that are amazing. However, Im talking about one certain car. Now, being completly honest, I ragged on the new Mustangs all the time, especially the V6 models. Mostly because I always saw women driving the base model sixers or maybe with the Pony package And I drove a friends auto V6 and it was a horrible experience. I vowed to myself that I would never own one, and Id stick with my Subaru. Now, the GT and previous year model Cobras, Ive always had a little respect for them because they are the true breed of what a mustang should be. Poor on gas mileage, rough ride, but having that special "V8" charm. Now, Ive never had the pleasure of driving a stock platform S197 GT, but when I went out to purchase another vehicle, the ones I had in mind were an Audi TT, Audi A6, VW GTI, Newer WRX, etc etc. I test drove all of them and they all had their special qualities I liked. However, it wasnt the "OMG I WANT" factor. Now, about to give up an the Mustang GT being the last one on my list to test drive, I gave it the benefit of doubt and took her out. Now mind you, the car isnt stock suspension wise. I took it out and was amazed and how stout the car felt, the lack of body roll, the feeling of actually having some "meat" in the rear (no pun intended). I fell in love with another domestic.

So here are some things Ive noticed about this car, coming from a few different import/domestic platforms:

1. The new GT has tons of aftermarket, even from import companies.

2. The fan base/forum base/etc is pretty large, which is to be expected.

3. The interior is decent, but who buys a Mustang for luxury anyways?

4. Personal opinion: I think the car is beautiful in the looks department, of course that will vary from person to person.

5. For under 21k dollars, I think you get a lot. (Personal opinion once again)

5. The car is more respected among others, more so than certain imports. Again, this will vary.

Now, with that being said, here is my question. If you dislike the vehicle, please say why? Dont just say, well I dont like it because its a Mustang and my grandma had a 96 base model V6 and it took a **** after 2 weeks. I want a serious educated response. And keep the comments civil, I dont want this to turn into a flame fest.
