Kind of hypocritical you pointing out "boring four cylinder cars" in a thread about people saying "you should have got a GT instead of that girlie V6".Jetbo said:...and why is it that the same people that make the most racket about you not getting v8 at work or wherever seem to drive and own boring four cylinder cars? or is it just me?
Some would say that a Mazda 3 is a budget commuter with good looks. Some think the Chevy Cobalt is a budget commuter with good looks. Some might even think the standard VW Golf is a budget commuter car with good looks.Philstang said:But if I am just looking for a budget commuter with good looks, the V6 is a great option.

The point of most of the peep's who bought a V6 was due to Budget (Insurance, gas, monthly payments, final price). So to say it is not a budget option is not true. Although it may be peppy, the 05 V6 Stang is not out there as the performance choice as you seem to be describing, that would be the GT.05V6inMD said:Some would say that a Mazda 3 is a budget commuter with good looks.

The 05 V6 a budget commuter? The car has 210 HP that can be easily and fairly inexpensively modded to give modest improvements. Even a 10% increase brings it to 230hp, that is not budget and it is performance in many catagories.
The '05 V6 is a performance car by many standards. It does not approach the performance of the GT. But then, the GT does not approach the performance handling of a Honda S2000 or the speed performance of the new Shelby. Does that mean that the GT does not offer performance because there are other cars out there that outperform it.
If I am looking for "budget commuter" I am definitely not looking at the V6 Mustang -maybe the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Suzuki Aerio - $15k and 30+mpg. The 05 V6 is a fun, good looking, and quick performer compared to most 6 cyl on the road, but is not a very good budget commuter car.
It is quoted as the theme of this thread, not what I think.Jetbo said:I was not implying that all four cylinders are boring, give me a Lotus Elise anyday. I was talking about a group of people who have such high expectations about the car that I buy, yet when they went shopping for a car these high standards for lots of power must not of excessed because they picked a boring looking 4 door Accord, for a example. Now I know you made that "girlie V6" comment because you are looking for a fight. My only question is why?

but now I can just point to my drive way or set of keys and say something like well i dont have a GT but i do have TWO 2005 V-6 Mustangs...
that has been shutting people up lately.
Jetbo said:sigh.....why we V6 owners even post here is beyond me.
My intent is not to suggest it is the premium performance choice.Philstang said:Although it may be peppy, the 05 V6 Stang is not out there as the performance choice as you seem to be describing, that would be the GT.
