Hi folks
New to the forum.
Ok, right out of the gate - I am admitting I am not a Ford man. The last FOrd I owned was a 94 Explorer with the V6. I sunk more money into that than it was worth just keeping it running...left me stranded on two vacations within 3 years and I took am major loss when I got rid of it.....I told myself then "never another Ford".
Thats unfair, I know. LOL
I am a Mopar fan mostly, having a couple trucks and a 72 Barracuda (my baby).
However, being a classic car buff, the new mustangs wake up a certain something in me.
And, same in my wife.
So we are looking for a toy for her.
We both love the 2006-2010 body style....but we are leaning to a 2011 because of the extra power and economy on the V6. 2008 GTs are selling for around $20k, and the new 2012 V6 base models are selling for $23k sticker.
More power, more mileage, more warranty (buying new) with the 2011 or 12 v6, so it seems to be a no brainer.
I dont know anyone who has one, but the reviews seem to say its a winner.....havent seen any for sale locally but them we have been looking for 2010 and below til we realized the new v6 was available in 2011!
I am looking for feedback from those who own a 2011 V6 model. Do you like it, love it or would you have gone a different route....how is the ride and handling of a base model? Do you really get the high gas mileage that they claim? Those sorts of things.
Thanks folks!
