Hey guys, my 02 mitsu eclipse is costing way way too much in maintenance every year so I'm a week or so away from getting an '11 V6 Manual. I'm pretty nervous having driven manual only 4-5 times and I really want to be able to take it for a good test drive, hopefully I can do well enough to fall in love. I've been researching these babies for a long time so I'm pretty certain it's the car I want the most.

I have a quick question, I've been a part of a lot of forums and some are organized well, some aren't. Can anyone point me to a thread where people talk about their pros/cons of this generation? I'd love to get more consumer information before I buy.

Thanks all for your time, btw my name is Sam.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Hello Sam and welcome to StangNet! If you take a look through the 2005-2014 Forums you will find a wealth of questions and answers on every different aspect of these cars.
With a 300hp V6 and a manual transmission to row the gears you really can't go wrong. These cars a sporty, ride very nicely, handle well and can be very economical fuel wise. Feel free to ask away over in the Talk forum here http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/forums/2005-2012-s-197-mustang/ any specific questions that you may have.

Best of luck on the new Mustang!

Thanks guys. So I've been wondering about the manual issues in the cold. Should I ask the dealer to replace the stock transmission fluid as mentioned?: http://www.stangnet.com/2011/04/12/mustang-mt82-tsb-shifting-issue/

Do you think they would include that in the price of the car before I buy or make it an additional charge?

Otherwise, I look forward to posting pics, reading up, and asking questions. Thanks!
