Hi, I'm from Florida and I really like the '13 Mustang.Never owned a domestic always had imports Toyotas, Nissans, Hondas. I currently own a 2010 Toyota Camry and a 1992 Nissan 300zx. Im looking to buy one probably in a few months! Few questions, I really like the v6 for the gas mileage, but does anyone regret not getting the 5.0? I really want something fast, but with gas prices I'd rather take the V6.

Thanks!

Welcome to MF! Good luck with the decision. I would take a lot of test drive before I decide. The 2013's really look nice!

Welcome, & good luck w/your search & decision. I'd say that your driving style & type of driving you'll be mostly doing w/the car should factor into the decision. I've been able to hit 26+ mpg highway in my '06 GT, though it has a functional shaker, Pype Bombs axle-back & tune. If it's not going to be a daiy drive in traffic I'd definitely recommend the GT if the funds are there. That way none of us will be tempted to bop you on the forehead & say "You could've had a V8." :P

Thanks for the input guys! I really like the 13 Fascia with the LED's and Projector head lamps. Give the stang a real aggressive look! As for driving habits if the road is open I will step on it, but if im in traffic, I just tend to baby the pedal.
