Wish I had the dough to be plagued with such a dillemma. Anyways welcome to the forum and Good luck & have fun with the new car! You won't be disappointed with the v6, the way gas $$ have risen this year.. might not be a bad choice afterall. 300+horses is nothing to sneer at.

I have a 2011 V6 auto convertible. I also have a motorcycle (2005 GoldWing 1800 which holds 4 soft bags with one on a trunk rack).
I am very happy with the car and luggage capacity has not been a problem. Soft luggage helps here. Unless you are from the old school I would get the automatic as it seems to have a better economy rating than the manual. It is a great car for a long trip. I drive it all winter. (In Arizona) Here we are on our way south at the end of October. F-150 4x4, Goldwing, car hauler trailer and Mustang. whitev6 I see you are over 60. Well I am 71 and hoping to get a new motorcycle soon as mine has nearly 100,000 kms on it. You should be able to enjoy your ride for many more years. Harvey |

My vote is yes I have a 02 convertible and a lot of friends in the club have convertibles and a mustang convertible is not for travelling with a lot of luggage but what a great way to travel and I'm over 60 years old and still enjoy it.

Thanks!
Thanks for all the advice, pictures and anecdotes. I was talking to my neighbour and his father just might be selling his 1999 35th Anniversary V8 convertible. Low mileage and no winter driving. I told him I just may be interested...

I am looking at the 2011 convertible that, at least in my current state of mind and living in Ottawa, would be a clement weather drive only (winter storage). I have 2006 AWD Honda Element that I truly love for all sorts of practical reasons and would hate to part with. From what I have read, the V6 manual seems ideal for me. Plenty of fun factor and easier on fuel. I would like to know how the car behaves on a long journey as I am thinking of a trip out East. All comments and suggestions are welcomed. Cheers JP |
