Hi looking at 2103 and 2012 mustang V6 stick, can anyone tell me whats better, I know there is updates on 2013 not sure what they all are other than new LED tail lights HID front lights, looks like a different steering wheel and I hear a new hill assist and other things, which make me want 2013 but I like the front facia of the 2012 it looks sharper, any thing better about reliability or other issues for 2013, thanks for input I am in Barrie Ontario, also is it good in the winter, thanks

 

They both have the same power train. The only differences are cosmetic. The hood and rear facia are different.

 

Depends on what cosmetics and accessories you want.

 

The price, the newer you go, the more it will cost you.

 

If you like the front of the 2012 better get that and add this:

2013 Factory Tail Light Conversion Kit (10-12 All) - Free Shipping

Best of both worlds

 

thanks all for info, anything in particular I should be aware of with the Mustangs. anything at all, anyone know about the hill assist on the stick models, all these upgrades on the 2013 and up I hope work well, guess more to go wrong and more costly, eg: hid tail lights etc... thanks again cheers

 

Buy what you want, not what people say you should want. Pretty wide open if you ask me, I don't think you'll be disappointed any way it works out, just find one that fits the budget. Winter tires and wheels are always a good idea, along with some weight in the trunk, don't forget rustproofing like Krown or Rust Check.

 

I agree with AP. I personally am a fan of the 13-14 body style and the upgrades such as track apps and the LCD screen.

 

Sounds like the OP is thinking of a 2015 now.

 

I would think with the 2015 out now, good deals can be had with 2012-2014 models that folks want to trade. These cars drive great, and the V6 is a peppy engine.
Personally from previous experience I like a totally new model to have a year or two under it's belt before I plunk down my cash. If it's just small mods made to a model that's fine, but not a whole car. They usually have some real world design issues that pop up and can deflate the new car/model experience as they run around trying to find a fix.
YMMV
