  1. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    2026 has adaptive cruise and lane assist, no lane centering. Not that I would condone it but, if you stick a 2 lb. ankle weight to the side of the steering wheel, the vehicle will stay in the center of the lane and not complain about your hands being off the wheel. Lane assist will wait until...
  2. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    The 2026 (manual and convertible) has adaptive cruise control, so it slows/accelerates. No stop/start, I am not sure how that would work with a standard. Another thing I just noticed is that my 2020 had auto dimming mirror. The 2026 is more like a '66 chevy Belair I had in coledge, you have to...
  3. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    After working for a while, my 2020 Mustang had 1 rear window then the second fail to close without manual assistance for the last 1/2 inch of closure. Under warrantee Ford replaced both window regulators. When I traded it in, earlier this year, the passenger side rear window again required...
  4. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    The 26 convertible has lane assist. I believe the automatic has lane centering, is that true? The manual has adaptive cruise, no stop and start (obviously).
  5. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    I had never heard of anti theft stickers on a car, I googled it. I like your choice of cars: * Mercedes S560 4Matic - awesome daily driver. I had an AMG 63, probably similar comfort. * Porsche Cayenne S - V6 twin turbo? w/6-speed manual? Regardless, awesome, the wife and I drive on the Blue...
  6. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    I remember myself as a teenager and would not trust that person (me, at that age) with anything that would go 150mph. My daughter is in her 30's, works and will "soon" have her masters degree. I trust her and accept some increased wear on the clutch is possible, probably likely. I have not done...
  7. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    Yeah, that would be smart, probably not something I would do. I am not sure what you mean about rent. I would never rent out anything not specifically purchased for that reason.
  8. Picked up a 60th Anniversary Edition over the weekend.

    Very nice, the stripe along the bottom really looks good. I had a truck with pin striping (stickers) along the side. On a hot day I blew a sticker off the car with a coin operated hand held car pressure wash wand. The quality of a OEM materials and install is probably a lot better than I had, I...
  9. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    The new mustang is a 6 speed, the only experience she has driving a standard was a 2008 on a C6 I bought in 2007. As a teenager she drove it once, I had never been in a car that jerked with a chirp, then hung back with engine drag, then jerked forward, then back, then...., worse and worse...
  10. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    I had a 2020 mustang premium convertible ecoboost, MSRP $48.2K. I now have a 2026 mustang GT premium convertible, MSRP $72.6K. I expected it to be better in ever way, including existing comfort items. I would have paid, for the door opener I had not thought about an older mustang part. It's...
  11. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    She used to drive my 2020 a 10 speed auto. I expect she will drive this one occasionally as well.
  12. 30mpg in a GT ! Who needs a Ecoboost ?

    I have a 6 speed GT convertible for 9 days. First tank I averaged 17.6 mpg. Almost the entire tank was used on back roads in 1st through 4 gear varying RPM constantly. Second tank I averaged 21.4 mpg, driving a mix of back roads and highway. At 550 miles I have not yet done highway with cruse...
  13. speed with top down

    I had very bad air flow/buffeting above 80. Not vibrations, gusts that could make driving real fast with the top down unsafe. Since then I noted the tire pressures were high and varied also it came with low engine oil ( just below the second hole). Both have been addressed, I will have to try...
  14. Pros and Cons of a convertible

    Convertible is just a special case of Mustang. A fully optioned GT is a crappy car if you have 4 kids and only 1 car. A convertible top further limits the desirability if you don't drive around with it down, most of the time. As a second car, I would have no other but a convertible. The...
