Rudy, that thing beat the s%$t out of a Volvo any day, i got more than a touch of Swedish blood flowing in me, I guess that's why I've spent my life at sea. By the way I find myself looking forward to your posts, great sense of humor and another take on the car culture.

The engine got five years of development from the 05-09's. So they are really reliable. There were changes to the steering, shocks, sta-bars, just all around better.
Do congrats. Mine also has the red interior. I have people coming up an admiring the car on an almost daily basis.
You'll never look back!
I'd buy another one in a heatbeat.

Eek, so many people here defending their 05-09 for no reason. I agree with the OP with all of those and it's what kept me away from those model years. The 2010 car fixed 80% of the issues I didn't like about the 05 cars, but I still think the 05 cars are amazing cars.
Anyway, congrats on the car, OP. Looks like you're having a blast. Love the red interior.

I have a friend from Germany she said they are very popular there also. It's just hard for me to grasp that a Mustang is like what a BMW is here in the states. I see about 30+ mustangs a day cruising around here in Seattle. Ranging from 1964 to 2014's its pretty awesome. But I think it's totally awesome at the same time, you should totally come to Vegas for the 50th birthday celebration!
Best thing though is how defensive the boys get when they figure out this girl knows how to drive a Mustang properly and they get slammed in a race
Really pisses those Asian import boys off right good!
