I agree. Also...
- First: Business Review as an authoritative automobile review? And one to definitively label America's most iconic car? Nooooo
- Pony Car covers all Mustangs (by definition), Muscle Car covers some iterations IMHO
- Mustangs, pony cars, etc. are moving on. This will push...
I think now in the S550s when the car comes with a great stance from the factory, PP is worth it. Before, guys would swap out most of the suspension to improve handling and lower the stance. The PP may not be track ready, but most people are probably far less likely to need suspension mods...
This is very astute. And, when you're a 'starving student' everyone is in the same boat and expectations are low. Five to 10 years from now, not so much.
Finally, the phrase 'work hard, play hard' is also true. It's not really one or the other, but the hard work does have to come first.
^ Very well said. Where there's a will, there's a way. I might add that interest rates are quite low historically. HOWEVER...
It's a very expensive proposition, relative to your income, to buy a new car and use it as point A to B transportation. That's ok, as long as you realize it.
I...
It's been said, but I'll sum up my view.
If you get the warranty, get it from the mfgr. They want to build brand loyalty in their product more than the more insurance oriented offerings. I find them price-competitive, too.
You don't have to be in a rush, unless you want to roll the...
The TiVCT V6 is an awesome engine. The total weight and distribution between the two '15s (EB, V6) is basically identical. If Ford hadn't ratcheted back (from 305 to 300), and instead increased the HP a bit every year or two, there'd be no contest in my eyes.
I'm in the minority, and this is not the best forum to get balance on the 2011-13 Mustangs. However, I have 2 2012's, one of which I was considering trading for a 2015 EB. I haven't driven one yet, but drove the '15 GT PP.
You should only decide after you've driven your two candidate...
I went with dedicated wheels and tires for winter - though i went a/s because I have a truck for snow. Here's what I'd do:
- learn your current tires' circumference
- find a few new tires you like in size that gets very close to that circumference to avoid speedo and other issues - there are...
I'll give it a shot. Random thoughts:
I love the 2015 and hope to get an S550 in a year or so.
I have 2, 2012's. One will get traded for the 550. But I love them, too. One's a Boss, and while its a little faster than the GT, I can certainly vouch for the handling potential in the...
Drive both. Then decide. Only then will you see your true destiny. ;)
Some reviewers have said this car is refined vs. visceral. Germany (15) vs. Detroit (14). You may actually prefer Detroit.
Given all the good input from others, to me the bottom line is:
- owner cost saves are pretty moot at your annual milage
- you make up most of your higher car cost with better resale
So, drive them both, then decide which one grabs you. If it happens to be the EB, even better.
