Wow, low miles. Buying a car during my last semester of college wouldn't be financially smart, though I keep looking at Avants for sale

Automatics have flexplates.

So, wifey brought this home as a loaner for today. Newer mustang v6 convertible. Took it out for a spin, and it's surprisingly very nice ride. Super smooth overall. It feels much more refined than the previous generations.

C&D had a 360 render for the next mustang. It looks good, very fierce.
I'm still waiting to hear if I'll get to drive that camaro!

Bit of an upgrade from the Corolla!

Itz JDM y0!
I drove the 12 GT premium coupe the other day. It felt so... heavy.. And the interior sucked. But the new Mustang looks pretty sick. Honestly I'd rather get a CPO 135 for that kind of money though.

Surprised, most people say the base Mustang interior sucks but the Premium is good. I agree with you in that it definitely feels big, though. Everything seems to happen on a larger scale.

It didn't feel heavy much.
Didn't even look at the interior. Was having so much fun with top down on the freeway.
It surprisingly gave me very pleasant driving experience I tell you that.
People who buy the pocket rockets like my car or American Muscle do not put the interior quality on the top priority anyway.

Mustangs have come a looong way. Despite V6 advancements, I'd still opt for an 8...but they are great vehicles.
Convertibles FTMFW. It's like crack....the really good kind.

I'm the opposite. I'd almost always choose the hardtop version of a car over a convertible.

Depends on the car I guess. Mustang I'd still pick a hardtop I suppose.
Little cars like S2000s and Miatas really do it best...until you get in exotic range. I can't imagine the driving experience being any better, even in mundane traffic conditions. It's as close as you can get to a go cart.

Do two-seaters include cars with backseats and concept cars? 
:aman:
For the sake of argument, there are plenty of two-seaters that I wouldn't dare get behind the wheel. I'm with Marble.. Open air gokart style, especially if that gokart had a 3.0L V8.
Lets just say, I wouldn't have presented my question had I known your age. The Mustang V8 is a different animal, so I can understand how you thought it felt heavy.

Here's another one that shocked me:
2005 Maserati Cambiocorsa. 57k miles. New clutch and tires.
I saw the listing title and was guessing about $40k: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/4070242916.html
This one too: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/4157451829.html
Edit: Just found this one. Sorry for whoring out the Charlotte Craigslist
