Congrats! to the new car. It looks very good and I would have get the V6 if I could have get leather in it. But I think I mentioned that already.

A V4? Old Beetle engine? That would be a Mustang Boxer.

Zack, congratulations! Very NICE car! And, thanks for all the informative details you are providing on the V6. I plan to purchase a V6 convertible. Did yours come with the Mustang emblem or pony logo embedded in the floor mats?

Can you confirm that BT audio gets defaulted back to after restarting the car?

Very nice car.

Thanks! The floor mats are just boring black mats... No mustang emblem or pony logo anywhere to be seen.

Yes and no.... This has been my first real gripe about the car... The radio is not as responsive as I would like. What I mean by this is that when changing the volume for instance the UI indication on the screen can be thrown off by turing the dial to fast.... Overall the UI of the radio isn't very responsive. As for BT.... Sometimes it defaults to BT and sometimes it just defaults to the radio. It has been hit or miss with my car and my iPhone 6. Don't get me wrong the 6 and the radio work beautifully once connected! It just sometimes doesn't default to BT on startup and sometimes it does.

Zack, thanks for your answer about the mats! How about the dash? What is inscribed on the plate on your dash? Thanks in advance!

The dash is great! I think I am actually starting to like it better then the aluminum dash of the premium. The plate on the dash is the same as the premiums. It has the pony on the left side with mustang on top and "since 1964" on the bottom.

Great, good deal! Thanks, Zack!!!

Just to confirm... is there a back up camera on the V6, with the display on that little "screen" portion of the radio? How good is the picture presented to you or do you need a magnifying glass to see anything there?

 

[stangs-R-me]

YES ... THERE IS A BACK-UP CAMERA ON THE V6 (std. ALL 2015 Mustangs) ... and YES, it displays in the center 4.2" screen in the radio.

and yes, you need a magnifying glass?

Dash is nice. Saw a few more today. There was a black eco with PP...damn that thing looked evil. The 19" PP rims are pretty sick on the EB. I think I like them better then the GT ones. When the sales people there started it up for the person looking at it, they all basically didn't like the sound of it.

Zack was at Koons today and was talking to one of the sales people and he's pretty certain you can add MFT after-market to your Mustang. Since you brought up the radio. There were 2 people looking at V6's and all they were talking about was adding after market stuff (MFT/Radio, seats, 19" rims, etc).

If you have sight issues, order the Park Assist for $295 and listen to the beep, beep, beep. No spectacles needed.

Take notice. The "Base Radio" in fact has (no) Sirius Satellite Button but the "Mute" Button instead. That, once and for all ends the speculation whether or not the Base V6 will have the Sirius feature. Thanks Ford. A 13K Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio comes "Standard" with Sirius Satellite Radio but a 30K plus Mustang, (not). What a hoot!

That Mustang doesn't cost 30k.
