>>14675244
>woman car
elaborate?

>>14675312
because its a V6
>>
>>14675351
still better than my 4 cylinder civic bro
>>
>>14675235
Those V6's were pretty damn gutless.

It's not a terrible car, but not fast at all.

>>14675366
What would be a better alternative instead of a GT/V8 stang?
>>
>>14675351
So true, V6 'stang = girlstang. Everyone knows this.

>>14675235

I have an 07 GT which I am about to sell

> electrical problems because of water leak

I know they had to cut corners to sell it for so cheap, but they cut some gay ass corners.

Mine is a ticking time bomb because of the water leak. I need to get rid of it.

So better to get a lexus IS ?

>>14675235
Therr is literally no reason to get a non-v8 mustang
>>
>>14675483
>extra cost + fuel economy
>>
>>14675501
Sorry to burst your bubble fgt but with that ancient piece of shit Ranger V6 it's like a 1 or 2 mpg difference.
>>
>>14675501
Ok, if you are not an incredibly Jewish poorfag there is no reason to buy a non-v8 mustang.
>>
>>14675235
shit build quality, horrible badge which commands negative amounts of respect, awful handling and although its subjective, it looks like rotting bollocks smashed up and smeared on a skinned dog that has been rolled in salt and left out in the sun for a week... just sayin'
>>
>>14675501
If you're worried about fuel economy why are you buying a Mustang?
>>
>>14675235
If it's going to be gutless, a 4-cylinder Civic will do the same, plus you won't look like a try-hard.
>>
Cuz it has the outdated and underpowered 4.0
>>
>>14675501
If you care about fuel economy then don't buy a fucking musclecar you idiot. buy a fucking corolla.

Buying a mustang is about buying a performance car, which means less MPG, and its the sacrifice you make to feel cool.

there's nothing inherently wrong with having a V6 musclecar, but... it's still not a V8, which is the whole point of a musclecar in the first place.

A 2011 or onwards v6 because it has 100 HP more and it's actually a fast car, go for the performance package and you are looking for a car that can turn and does 5.1 secs in the 0 to 60.
It even has a better MPG for fuck sake, I hate my 2005 mustang.

>>14675235
>4.0L V6

I hate to do this but...

>2.0L F4
>200hp

>2800lbs

You all know what car I'm describing.

If you're going to get a v6 Mustang, at least get a 2011 or newer. That year they drastically upgraded the power out put of both the v6 and the v8 engines. The v6 went from 210 hp to 305 hp and the v8 went from 300 hp to 412 hp. Honestly though, I had almost talked myself into buying a 2011+ v6 and was damn close to doing it.. but at the last minute I stepped back and looked at the bigger picture. If I bought the v6, it would be a car that I would enjoy visually and would serve to get me from a to b, but ultimately I would be looking to upgrade in the future. If I spent more on the v8 it would be a car that I could keep for a good long while. I was sold the second I started the GT for a test drive at the dealership. It didn't hurt that it has flowmaster exhaust, but that sound had me hooked straight away. I was not leaving that dealership without that car. The v6 does not have nearly as much authority.

I have an 05' GT, had the same electrical issues

It's a very easy fix though, the water leak is usually due to debris blocking drain holes next to the cabin air filter.

The water leaks onto the SJB which causes the electrical quirks.
Mine was fixed by leaving the SJB in some rice for a few days, then I cleaned all the connectors with isopropyl.
If that doesn't work, a new one is like $200

As for the spark plugs, they're a bitch
and the e-brake cable...same problem with mine

Keep your car or sell it, just wanted to let you know the water leak isn't actually that big of a deal. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

pic related: this is how much water came out of my car after I cleared the drain holes.

One of the faster mustangs around is a 2011 V6 with a turbo on it.
It's neat and a v8 killer, but most v6s are owned by women and cheap old guys.
