Need Help In Choosing Model Year
 

I am looking to purchase a used Mustang GT and am looking for help with the pros and cons for the model years of 2011 & 2012.
This will be for a daily driver.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mbeardo

Well you might even want to start looking at the 2013's the new 2014's have started rolling out already. 2011 - 2013 all have the 5.0L Coyote which is nice lot of power they squeezed a bit more out of the 2013 5.0L. But really with mods the 2011 - 2012 could get the same performance.

MPG is not bad for being a V8, its not shy about taking down the fuel but its still very good. My 2013 is getting 15.7 city I would assume the 11/12 is around the same.

The six speed manual is a lot of fun, the stock shifter is very picky. Best just to switch them with something like a Hurst or MGW.

I was thinking of the '11 or '12 due to the availability of a used model and lower price.

Hi, welcome. Good luck in your search.

Welcome!

Welcome to the site

First off welcome! Second I don't there is much of a difference between the two. They both have the 5.0 which is amazing! I'd look for a 2011 with low miles and start with that. Keep us posted on your search!

get the best car you find..no difference in those 2 years really .

welcome

Yes, '11 and '12s are the same, I'd go with the lowest mileage. the '13s may be an option. Ford redesigned the front and rear, which look better. But I lean more to the '10 thru '12 Front end.
