Fun to Drive Stang

My Legend Lime V6 convertible has been a wonderful experience. I bought it instead of a motorcycle due to 2 little ones at home because it has a back seat. I drove it to Illinois by myself from Minnesota the first week I bought it and put the cruise on with the top down and tunes cranked. I haven't had one repair. It is hands down the best value for a sports car! I had 2 69 Stangs growing up and this one hasn't let me down for performance!

Fun and, so far, reliable

Bought with 7k miles, now at 26k, no major problems, just the same tail lamp keeps burning out. All-city driving yields terrible gas mileage, but cruising on hwy at 70mph, I get 28mpg easy. Installed AirAid conical air filter which made huge difference in throttle response, power and exhaust note. In 2nd gear at 3000 rpm, watch out! Very fast. Full-size luggage can fit in trunk, something most convertibles can't boast. Stereo is amazingly powerful, even on hwy w/roof down. Brakes could be better. Bumpy roads reveal rattles and looseness mainly in windows & roof. But for combo of V8 power, stick-shift control, topless motoring, mega- style and storage space, there's no competition at all.

My First Convertible

Let me start out by saying I m Not a convertible guy. I’ve never really cared for the looks of them I’ve always heard that they are Windy and leaky. But I saw this ad for a 2005 Mustang GT black convertible. The kid said he needed moneyTo get a bigger house for his wife and New baby. Well I’m a sucker for somebody that needs some help so I thought what the heck I’d check it out. So I met with a kid not only was the car appealing but the price was appealing he wanted 3000 now the car wasn’t perfect it was a convertible and had a rip in The top but I’m pretty handy and I figured I could fix a little dings and the rip and so I beat him up a lil on the price And gave him 2800 bucks cash for the car. Now I’ve only had the car for a short period of time but let me tell you it’s tight ride is has 12400miles on it and it’s it’s the greatest $2800 car I Ever bought. Let me Telya I love cars I’ve had quite a few it’s a very nice car this is the third Mustang that I’ve driven the first to my moms and that was long time ago A 76 and 81 this one is a lot better so I’m looking forward to a lot of fun rides good job ford did good on this one!

I purchased my convertible after much research between several makes. The Mustang offered the best value for the money and even with the six cylinder is pretty fast.

My first convertible! Coming from an SUV I worried about driving a car. This is fun, fun, fun. Love the retro look inside and out. Although I downsized it is roomier than expected. I can pack up for the beach in no time. Good pick up, glides through traffic, even in the rain.
