Default Hunting For A Mustang At The Present Moment

Time to let the 525i go and I'm likeing the Rustangs.
This one has caught our fancy.
I have not driven one yet but the 2015's look awesome to me and could be the timeless design that I'm looking for in a car.
Does anyone he one in a 6 cyl and how do you like it?
Is this a decent price for the mileage?

Drive it. I wasn't impressed, but it looks cool. Better as a coupe IMO

Guy at work has a 4 cylinder turbo coupe. Mild mannered enough for regular driving and goes like snot when your foot gets heavy. He's probably 6'5" and it fits him well ( previous gen did not )

Not bad looking at all. But I think the 6 would drive (not literally) you nuts.

I think you'll like it. V6 has plenty of power, likely more reliable/durable than the ecoboost. Can't argue with the looks, or bang-for-the-buck.

I owned a Ford once, I'll never do it again.

Buy a four year old Infiniti; everything you liked about your BMW, only better.

When she has another seizure, she needs to have something in her mouth to keep from swallowing her tongue. You might save a life.

I will admit my wife's 06 mustang pony (V6) gets more compliments and looks than either of my vettes ever have It is also very comfortable and well built/easy to maintain. Different generation obviously, but ford did things right with the mustang, she will probably get a 17 or 18 as a replacement

Well, since you won't fork out for 700 hp, if you do get a six cyl. I have a buddy here in town that builds turbo kits for them. Sooner or later, you're gonna want to go faster!

On her mechanic's recommendation, my sister in NH did exactly that after owning a Caddie. She loves the infinity.
My wife loves the car in the OP, so we'll drive a few and check out the Infinitis as well.
You know how that goes though......

edit ; I never owned a Ford

Bought my wife a 2016 Mustang with the Ecoboost in it. It's a hoot to drive. If you haven't piloted a Mustang in a while get behind the wheel and check one out. The ride and handling is actually pretty good! Plus they look great!
