Hey everyone,
I used to cherish my 1989 fox body 5.0 for years but when I moved to Georgia in 2007 I sold her in order to get a practical Mazda. I've loved the Mazda(s) I've had, but I'm now in the position to get back into a Mustang.
I plan on getting a 2015 or 2016 GT Premium with the Performance Package and a manual transmission. I can't decide on pulling the trigger now for a 2015 or putting in an order for a 2016. Do you owners of a 2015 find the infotainment system to be lacking? Because the main upgrade to the 2016 for me is the new Sync3 system.
I've always disliked fancy infotainment systems because of their lag and poor functionality, but the Sync3 system seems to be pretty good. What do you think of the current one?
Also, I drive in Atlanta traffic every day, and I wanted to see what some other folks here thought about driving a manual in pretty heavy city traffic on a daily basis. Do you wish at times you would have gotten an automatic? Or is it really not all that bad driving a modern stick shift these days in heavy traffic?
Let me know your thoughts. I think I'll be bummed to go the whole summer without the new Mustang as a 2016 probably wouldn't arrive until September, but if it's the right call, I think I can manage.
I'm really glad I found this forum - you've been a great help guiding me toward which package/options I want to get, so thank you in advance!
