Just picked it up, (last week) V6 Premium, and in general I am happy. The only things I do not like so far are the passenger floor mat is not secured and the convertible top button requires a consistent hold instead of just one touch.

Over all a very nice car

OK I just shot a few pix with my cell phone so they are not up to my usual standards, but for now they will do since I promised I would add a pix by the end of this week

Good choice. The new V6s are really nice. Great car for cruising around in.

It's an auto

As the tittle says an auto. One of the few bitches I have is the lack of either paddle shifters or a manual way to run up and down the gears like I have on my 03 X-Type Jaguar. The J-Gate on that trans is a joy to use.

I am very impressed the power this car has, MUCH more than my Jag. However, although it handles great, the Jag feels more stable and smooth on rough roads because of the independent rear as opposed to the live rear on the Stang.

I am also very impressed with how quiet the car is, I never expected a convertible to be so tight. I hope that I will be saying the same thing 3 years from now
