I LOVE it as a practical car. The interior is very roomy (even the back seat is waaaay better in this generation) and the trunk is HUGE..better than many sedans. Besides that, the suspension is compliant enough that it doesn't beat you up, yet firm enough to be fun. The ground clearance is good so you don't have to worry about scraping every damn thing like with some Corvettes, for instance. And it is the most reliable car I have ever owned. 50,000 miles and virtually nothing has gone wrong.

if you live in a climate with no snow, dont really need to carry more then you and a passenger and dont have to drive it long hauls everyday then it can be practical. I look at Mustangs mainly GT's as just toys. my previous 10 GT was just a summer cruiser and would never think of driving it in snow and with 2 kids it isnt good at hauling them either. Just when i pickup a 13GT in coming months it will be a toy as in my area with winters the car is not practical at all and with 2 car seats. so it will be for summer and nice day driving only.

I drive my GT in snow and it does GREAT with a set of snow tires on a spare set of 17" wheels. I see no problem with driving a RWD car on snow, provided you are familiar with the different characteristics as compared to FWD.
