"I'm one of those weird people who keep a car a really long time. I drove a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron convertible for almost 21 years. When it came time to replace ye'ol LeBaron, I researched base model convertibles. I found many lightly used 2012 Mustang convertibles in the range of $22,999 to $24,999. Comparable Camaro convertibles were always $3,000 to $5,000 more. The base Mustang has a 305HP V6 that is averaging 22.5MPG in all city driving. The radio and stereo sound great, and even with power seats, the drivers seat has a manual height adjustment. Rear seat room is tight, but comfortable seating wise. If you are looking for the best 'bang for the buck' in a convertible, then the Base Mustang is the best choice."

"Having owned many performance cars over the years, i had always wanted a mustang. This is definitely the best of the breed. A daily driver that is docile and easy to drive just cruising but with a bark and a bite with the mash of the accelerator. Superb handling, great power, excellent steering, great gear box with perfect gear ratios, comfortable seats. In easy urban driving achieving 20 mpg - who would have thought with 444 hp. This is absolutely a dream car for an enthusiast. Draw backs - cheap floor mats, basic radio deserves better speakers. The exhaust note will put a grin on your face every time. A dream car and a bargain compared with more expensive domestic and foreign offerings. Ford truly did a great job on this one. Drove a regular 5.0. it is amazing that two cars from the same family can be so different. Had to shop and shop to get a fair deal as too many dealers wanted over sticker. Purchased out of my area to get the deal I wanted."

"Rented a 2011 Mustang V6 convertible for 10 days on vacation in Utah last fall, and was very impressed. Very comfortable over long distance, got 30mpg on the highway, and handled like a true sports car. We fell in love, so bought one when we got home: V6 Premium w/ Pony Package and 6-speed manual transmission. Shifts like silk, 300 hp provides plenty of torque without sacrificing fuel economy, and the leather seats are exceptionally comfortable. Although I would have preferrred the GT wheels and fog lamps, the V6 is a beautifully designed car, and great value for the cost. Feels like a long-term keeper!"

"Very Powerful 5.0 engine and smooth manual transmission. Very little wind with top down or noise with top up. I have a little boy and the trunk is spacious enough for his stroller for the times he rides with dad. Space inside for storage could be a little bigger, but overall a great car for the money and even works well for a young family weekend driver."

"I purchase the 2012 GT about 3 months ago and its been a blast to own. I love everything about this car, especially the power! My only complaint is that I wish it had about one more inch of room in the back seat. Other than that, the performance this car offers for the buck is unbeatable."

"2012 Mustang with 101a package, and 6-speed auto. HP to weight ration is better than a Camero and Challenger ... and the 6-cyl engine coupled with a 6-speed auto puts out amazing performance. Gas mileage in city about 22 and highway about 34 w/wo A/C on!"

"Four months ago I bought a new 2012 Mustang Boss 302. I had been reading in the car magazines about this car for many months. All the reviews were very positive. When I bought the car I thought for a moment I must be crazy since I'm 59 years old. But driving this car brought back the feel of driving that had somehow been missing in the bland world of typical cars on the road today. By this I mean that the handling, suspension, braking, engine, drivetrain, and comfort were over the top. The people at Ford who designed and engineered this car did a most excellent job. This is a complete hi-performance car yet its street manners are excellent. I have put over 7000 miles on this car in 4 months. I have taken 2 long multi thousand mile trips. The Recaro sport bucket seats are comfortable and offer great lumbar support. The engine has a wonderful aggressive sound to it when you accelerate hard but cruising at freeway speeds its quiet in the cabin. The car comes with extreme performance Pirelli P-Zero tires that really grip in dry and wet conditions. Though they are not recommended in temperatures below 40 degrees so its best to park the car during winter or change over to an all season tire. Note of caution: this car is very fast. I never knew in this day and age that a car could be bought off the showroom floor with such total performance. I would buy this car again in a heart beat."
