I am thinking about the new Mustang. I have a daily ride. It's a Nissan. If you are considering to buy the new 2015 Mustang (or if you are already driving a Mustang), are you planning to use it as a daily drive or just for special/weekend driving?

Let's get the straight off lol I am in no position to buy a new mustang. But I guess since this is just a general asking sort of post, I'll say what I would love to do. I dont think it would hurt not to many people will care what I have to say If i was to buy a Mustang right now I would use it as my daily driver. I would buy a new 2015 in the Competition Orange or whatever they are calling it now a days. I would buy the four-banger (I know I know). But it will have more options available than the v6, be more powerful, and it will get better gas mileage. Plus it will still be a mustang. Now, I already own a pretty sad 2000 v6. So once I bought my new mustang (doing nothing other than maybe appearance mods to keep the validity of the warranty) I would then most likely do a strip out and re-engine my old new edge. I would put in a new 5.0 crate motor and make it a pure (but still street legal) track car. That is my fantasy. I must admit this is one of the few hopes that keeps me going through college :/

Black on Black, auto. Clear film paint protectant, splash guards. First year, just a tune, cold air intake and cat back. 2nd year, go full on supercharger and drag radials. Winter time, it's gonna be parked with a car cover, engine block heater, only driven to keep the fluids normalized. Studded tires, only driven on clear streets. Winter beater will be my daily driver. Unlike my 08 I had, which I blissfully drove everywhere, if I had a '15, it's gonna be pampered and taken care of!

I really do love the new body style of the '15's. Looks so much more exotic and expensive. Call me status seeking on a blue collar budget lol

I do love the new body style too. no wonder the car is sold out in Europe in 30 seconds.

Take my kids to school every morning, pick them up in the afternoon. Drive to a lot of events. Work is 100 miles away and I drive there once a week. It adds up. But I definitely ENJOY every supercharged mile!!
