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.

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!
