Last night, I had a chance to go down to my local Ford Dealer one last time. Though this time I brought my Wife, so she could see the Mustangs up close and personal. As some of you know, I've been looking at a couple of different Models. My first thread, was in regards to getting either a stripped down 15 GT or a 14 Premium GT with Track pack and Recaros. Over the weekend, I had a chance to drive a premium EB. In fact I thought I was sold on the EB.
Well, Last night was an eye opener. First, I got to say, I love my wife more than life itself! She has been amazing during this process.
Second, I have to thank Autonation Ford Katy, for being awesome, and letting me comeback night after night, weekend after weekend to test drive and kick tires. By far once of the best dealerships I have ever worked with.
Now let’s get donw to it. Last night, I had a chance to Drive all three right in a row (first time driving a 15 GT)
We started out with the EB with the premium package, as it an Auto my wife was able to take it for a spin. Like me she LOVED all the options on the base premium package. She liked the power of the EB, but she's never owned a sporty car, so anything faster than a family sedan is amazing. Next, I wanted to show her the 14 premium with Track pack and Recaros. As it was a manual I had to drive. I rowed through the gears and put her back in her seat a few times, she was grinning ear to ear. Though, she told me she was NOT impressed with the interior.
At this point, I figured she was sold on the EB and was about to head back to the dealer to place an order on a EB Premium with the Performance package.
She told me to pull over, as I did she looked me square in the eye and said "are you going to be happy with the EB? What is your dream mustang, right now?" I sat for a second, and thought about it. Told her in a perfect world, it would be a 15 GT Premium. She asked about the Recaros and Performance Pack. Told her on the 15 the Recoars, are mute, I would rather have the premium seats in saddle. As for the performance pack, I was unsure, I'd have to drive one.
We got back to the dealer and she stepped out of the 14, she looked at the sales guy and said, we want to drive a 15 GT with PP. Sure enough, the sales guy tossed me the keys to a white one with those exact options.
I took the GT for a spin, and fell in love. The car is so much more refined than the 14, it drove amazing. You can tell Ford spent some time on the car. As we were taking a bit of a longer test drive this time around, she then asked me again, is this what you want? are you happy with the base interior?
I can now honestly say, I know EXACTY what I want. I want a 15 GT Premium. I do not need the PP, as I will never track the car, and the stiffer suspension was a little too much and the short torque gears are un-needed here in Houston for a DD.
We got back to the dealership and I submitted a down payment and Order for a 15 GT Premium, in DIB with Saddle leather seats! Words cannot express how excited I am! This is my FIRST brand new car, and I cannot believe I ordered one Just the way I want it!
Mid-January cannot get her fast enough!
