Best car for the money I had, period. If I'd had the extra 5+ grand to spend on the v8, I probably would have, but that's like saying if I had the extra hundred grand I would have bought a Porsche. It's irrelevant. I bought the V6 because it blew away everything else I could afford.

Great value - alot of car for the money - this is my second car and I use it as an everyday driver. I couldn't see myself spending 30k on a second car (another reason is I would not be able to afford the payments on a GT)

I bought mine right after the verts started hitting the ground in early '05. At that point GTs were still going for well over sticker, and they were rare as hen's teeth. I paid full sticker for mine, so I have the dubious honor of having paid more for a fully loaded V6 vert than most people paid for their GT coupe [&:] For an older guy like me the insurance is basically the same between the two.

I test drove the GT, but at the time it was done during heavy traffic. I then test drove the V6 during the same time. I realized that my drive will always be in this type of traffic, so i decided on the V6. It would be greater on mileage, cheaper on insurance, and provided more than enough power for what I needed and was used to. I'm very happy and havent' looked back.

I'm 19, so insurance would have cost me more than payments on the car. Lol. Also gas mileage. The V8 just wats way too much gas.

Besides, I plan on getting an X-chrager and tuning it to be as fast as a GT while still having the lower cost of insurance and gas prices.

My Mustang was my graduation present, I had a 25,000 limit, simple, I didn't have enough for a GT, I tried my hardest, but I don't regret having a six, it is wonderful.

i chose a sixer because of the overall price, the cost of insurance, and the gas mileage. i am very satisfied.
Nice looking car! It looks a lot like mine which is a Tungsten Grey V6 Coupe with Pony Package, Upgraded interior, single Flowmaster, shorty antenna. I am going to Birmingham over the Labor Day week-end for the Mustang Stampede for the 30th anniversary of the National Mustang club. I am hoping there will be a lot of vendors there with good prices on Mustang parts. Here is a link to the Mustang Stampede:
