My wife wants a Stang - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

lafountain · 04-11-2009, 12:54 PM

My wife and I bought a 2008 Mazda3 for her last year. Unfortunately a lot of the decisions were made by me even though this was to be her car (She didn't have a drivers license to I had to be the one to test drive it and let her know what I thought). She has since gotten her license and driven the 3 more than me (I still drive my 95 Camaro), she has picked up a few things she doesn't like though. So she started looking at various info on the net and has decided she wants to consider a Mustang.

She is gonna go test drive one today. I don't object to the Mustang even though it isn't what I want . To anyone out there who has owned an 08 or 09 Mustang, what kind of things should I be on the lookout for? We would only be getting a V6 for her as she wouldn't utilize the power and she would prefer the 6 anyways (so she says)

good for her!! PS the 08 and 09 are nothing like the 10 so if your looking into 2010 cant compare

None of the local places have 2010's on the lot, what were the major changes made for the 2010?

That what happens when you get them a Mazda! Start saving now for the Jag convertible she will want in 20 years.

New body style to name one...

lil_chef · 04-11-2009, 01:58 PM

and an interior overhaul.

ArcAngel · 04-11-2009, 02:38 PM

the v6 has the underpinnings of 09 GT the GT has underpinnings of 09 Bullitt besides the exterior and interior upgrades. They should be arriving at dealers within the next few weeks

*CamaroSpike23* · 04-11-2009, 03:12 PM

why didnt she have a license yet?

as far as the mustang... she'll enjoy it. the car was made for women...lol

lafountain · 04-11-2009, 07:22 PM

She just lived in areas where Public Transportation was really good and never had a reason to get it. Upon marrying me, she moved to an area where Public Transportation was not very good and due to my job, she ended up realizing she needed to finally get one.

She went and drove the Mustang today, she now really wants one. Though after talking to her, she wants to wait until the 2010's hit the market due to the 2010 getting the Sync system put into it. No real complaints about her wanting it, that just means my carport will have a Camaro and a Mustang under it.

Divorce is your only option, you have been sleeping with a undercover agent who works for the enemy.

He was joking, But the mustang do have femine roots that is undeniable (and nothing to be ashamed of). When the mustang was release in 64, it was basicly a sporty secretary car. It was heavly marketed to the female buyer if I remeber correctly. and the strongest motor that it had was the 289 V8 (not exactly a road burner.)

Edit: and it was cheap/affordable
