Current V8 is not DI. It's port injection. '18 V8 is port and direct injection. '18 fancy dash would be on premium trims only.Thanks guys for the information. You are very knowledgeable.
The funny thing about my situation is that what I really want right now firstplace is - sell my current car. I just fixed it, tired of DIY and dealer fixing it. No more. I just do not trust it anymore and would not take it onto any critical trip. Not very prepared for this financially, but... well, have to pay for my mistake.
Mustang and FRS are the only cars I can look at at the moment.
As I mentioned above I rented AT Mustang for several days on a business trip and really liked it. That's even better than a test drive... starting it in the morning, runing errands, occasional spirited drive, parking it, loading luggage, returning to the car the next day... Now, I was very busy that time and didn't care to pop the hood and check what engine it was... But I think it must've been the V6, since I fueled it with regular and there were no signs of "premium only" anywhere in sight... The car had ~25k on it and felt like pretty well built vehicle with no rattles or any other annoyances. I liked the steering, the way AT worked etc. Even had a chance to check brakes in an emergency stop. My only rant was - the roofline for passengers in the back was low. They are not really even covered with the roof, but the glass.
So, I owe myself and you guys a testdrive of a MT V6. I'm manual guy, but if does not feel right, can pick the AT for a Mustang (but not the FRS).
I can afford GT... GT is nice, but I would not buy current DI V8, and hate '18 all electronic dash... I mean, we all are staring LCD screens at our laptops, tvs and mobile phones all day long these days.... so give me some material objects in sight... Any hope the dash would be optional?
And yes, I LIKE THAT GRABBER BLUE COLOR!
I wish white stripes were available for v6.
