Not in ATL traffic :)
another advantage to a cheaper car is that if it gets into a crash, it will total out faster, meaning you get can a new one easier. With a more expensive car, odds are greater you would have to live with bondo and paint respray and stuff like that.

Insurance is only expensive if you are young and/or have tickets. I think my wife (27) and I (29) pay $220 a month for her 15 Titanium Escape and my 16 GT PP. That's really not a bad price considering it's million dollar coverage, but then again we both have clean records.

I know the V6 isn't available in Premium trim............do I assume correctly that means you can't get a V6 with leather seats?

I ask, because there's on for sale in the UK with leather.......and I assumed they'd added those from a parted out car.


O/P......get the V6. It's a fine car and seems to fit your needs :)

Honestly, very rarely I use all of the 435HP on the street. I will be doing double the speed limit in no time.

I'm 18,700 miles (and 365 days) into owning my GT.

Except for merging on to freeways and the occasional acceleration run for funsies from a red light, I have gotten the tach over 4,000 RPM a grand total of once (passing a tour bus on the road between the Grand Canyon and I-40, when I hit 115 mph before I could blink). Nobody really needs all that power.

I was under the impression that the V6 is not available in Europe. Just the EB and GT.

To the OP, I love my V6 with the 051 pkg. It has truly been a pleasure to own and drive.

some dealers do an aftermarket leather. Significantly cheaper option than a Premium. Particularly if you just do front seats.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if aftermarket leather causes an warranty issue if a power seat motor fails. What's the odds?

How We’d Spec It: The Coolest 2015 Ford F-150 You Didn’t Know Existed

You can sometimes find F150 in Crew, V8, 4x4 for a 10k drop off of MSRP. So I was hoping that I could get into the above config for a proportional price drop (down near a V6 Mustang), but the salesman looked at me with this expression: :crazy:

I actually considered getting a F150 like that. Figured it would be impossible to find.

Of course no one technically needs the power but then again no one really needs a Mustang at all then.. Or any sports or sporty car.. Many want the power though. It's not like the 435 hp in this car is blistering fast or a crazy hp monster or anything.
