So I wanted to drive a convertible on our vacation to Florida. I assumed it would be a Mustang since they are so prevalent down there. But no, all they had was a '19 Camaro 2L turbo. I thought ok it will be a good comparison with my 18 EcoBoost convertible.
Thank God I bought a Mustang!
My dislikes;
*Trunk space - about the same as the Mustang with top up but with it down only about 1/3 of the Mustang.
*Top operation-works like a hard top, feels clunky and takes up a tremendous amount of trunk space. Also has some funky luggage cover that has to be snapped into place for top to work and it kept falling down.
*Interior- far less roomy than my mustang, seats don't go as far back and just felt cramped. Also, the heat/ac vent arraignment was odd. I won't compare the electronics because it was a base model and mine is a premium. Overall the interior was uncomfortable with less storage space and an odd feeling of cheapness. Only one, oddly placed power point.
*Performance didn't feel quite up to the Mustang EcoBoost. The automatic transmission only had 7 gears and three mode settings (Touring, Sport and Wet). Sport did not feel as aggressive as the sport setting in the mustang.
Things I liked;
* Front seats have power recline, my premium mustang only has manual.
*Hood has pneumatic struts, not a prop rod.
* Top works up or down at up to 30mph.
* Transmission holds last mode setting (T,S,Wet) unlike the mustang which reverts to normal at every restart.
*The traction control nannies didn't feel quite as aggressive as my mustang.
