Someone please talk me out of buying a v6 mustang, I just went on a test drive like 30 minutes ago and I think it's what I want.
I think I'm going to commit today or tomorrow to buying one.
I've got a connection to a dealer and am going to get it at or near cost, though I'm not sure what a 2011-2014 v6 black on black or grabber blue anything interior will be.
Please send help.

Yea used. I don't like the way the new ones look.
v8 fuel economy vs v6 fuel economy.
4.8 gals/100 miles v8
vs
4.3 gals/100 miles v6
My commute is ~235 miles per week.
So cost for v8 is 11.28*3.10=~35 if i baby it.
Cost for v6 is 10.105*2.86=~29
Or about ~$300 a year at current prices.
And that's using the combined figure. I think the difference would be even larger than that.

I'm trying to get someone to talk me out of it. I own a v8 mustang and test drove a mustang today. It's pretty much the same exact thing. Except the new v6 puts out more power than my old v8, while getting better fuel economy.

A 2011+ V6 Mustang will spank it. Plus its newer and has better features and looks better.

>>15330269

If you're just getting a commuter with an auto, why buy a new Mustang? Get something used with four doors.

Also, if you insist on a new Mustang, get the Ecoboost for an extra $1k. Better fuel economy and more power.
>>
>>15330730
wouldn't spank it, they would have similar 1/4mile times

As an overweight american I like the interior space a coupe gives. If we were talking about an m5 vs an m6 I might be willing to get a 4 door.
But this isn't that, this is a car that needs to be comfortable while I sit in traffic.

If i need a 4 door I'll buy one.

It has maybe 5 more hp but the old v8 will still be a better performer. If you want a commuter get something better suited to commuting.

Before you make your final engine choice make sure to get insurance and gas costs for each. That might be the final sway view in favor of the v6

Ok OP, i have a V6 mustang and after having driven a friends V6 with auto transmission, if you are going to get a v6, try to get one with a manual transmission and performance package. Even for a commuter car, its just better and it feels way faster and better, it also comes with a sport mode.

Other than that, get it, the only downsides are.
1. Its not a V8 and people will talk shit on /o/.

2. Not the best if you plan on moving 3+ persons.

3. Not the best visibility, although the best of its class.

R. No telescopic steering wheel.
>>
>>15332281
>R. No telescopic steering wheel.
It does go up and down though right? I didn't attempt to adjust the wheel when i went for a test drive.
>2. Not the best if you plan on moving 3+ persons.
I'm thinking about a rear seat delete because fuck people this isn't a taxi.
>3. Not the best visibility, although the best of its class.
It seemed as good or better than mine. I have like 80% or 90% tint on my rear window on my current 2003, you can't see ANYTHING when you are backing out of a parking space at night. Nothing. So I think I'll be good.
Is your v6 2011-2014?

No it's a commuter.

I use it as a commuter and i still got a manual, it's that much of a difference.

Also yeah, the steering wheel goes up and down, but it doesn't go closer or further from your body, hence why its not a telescopic steering wheel.

Anyway, get it senpai, even if its an auto.

Yea I think I'm gonna put the word out. It turns out the full coverage really isn't that bad so i can finance it.

>>15331435
Economy cars aren't as bad as you think. They get good mileage, are cheaper to insure and are actually comfortable.
There was a time when only expensive cars had electric windows. And eventually it got to Bluetooth and navigation and rearview cameras. All of that is available on economy cars. It's a no brainer m8.
>>15331448
I'd trade that sucker in. No point in having a v6 auto "commuter" that's faster than your weekend fun car.


Get a Mazda 3. It's probably optioned better than your v8 and more fun too (handling wise) even car and driver said the auto was fun and the transmission was well programmed.

I'm genuinely curious why you want another mustang. I understand a V8 is silly for a DD for work or school, but why get another Mustang? I would buy a V6 or even 4cyl for a DD and use the Mustang to go out on the weekends.
Hell, I use a Gen3 Eclipse as my DD because I'm saving up for a nicer V6 or an older Corvette just for showing off.

Because the v6 felt "the same" to me. I got in it, started it up, backed it out like normal and started driving, I braked for stop signs and it behaved how I expected.
When you go from brand to brand, I've been driving a vw passat and vw jetta quite a bit recently for reasons. The pedal doesn't feel right, the breaking feels jumpy. You have to adjust.
The v6 mustang is literally more of the same. It is about as fast as the car I currently commute ~16000 miles a year in (I have a change coming up soon so instead of the VW's I'm gonna need to drive my own car in).
The only thing i felt it was missing was the foot rest on the left side.
31mpg is "good enough" to have the car I am used to.

Mustangs aren't bad cars - good for cheap power, space, and decently comfortable.

They're just...unfashionable, and not as agile, dynamic, and tuneable as other cars on the market. It gets a reputation for being the ultimate entry level driver's car (not in a good way) because of this.

/o/ will tell you to get a used E-series, an S2K, BRZ, or a Miata, all of which are good cars (arguably better than the Mustang, especially in terms of handling), but if you like it then fuck other people, get it.
>>
>>15333864
>Tuneable
>Dynamic
>BRZ and Miatas are arguably better cars.

Mustangs have one of the biggest after market markets of all cars, you can make it whatever you want, a track monster, a Drag Monster, an Auto X, a Drift car or even a rally car.


Also you can tune it however the hell you want to.

And how are miatas or BRZs better cars? Sure, they feel and handle better in curves but they are slower and have less cargo space and smaller or no back seats. Plus they are pricier.

They are not arguably better, they are better in your opinion.
However they would be arguably better if this was still 2005 - 2010

Please point to where in the thread you thought your shit opinions were so good that it invalidated my planned purchase.

This. Fuel cost isn't everything. Compare insurance rates and see where that leaves you.

Also, my cars have only been manual and at one point I was in stop and go city driving every day, for about 90 minutes each way. Like the other anon said, it's better than auto if you know what you're doing.

You want a commuter so you're going for a v6 mustang, and you made a point about it having more power than your current mustang. So are you going for economy or for drivability? Because even you seem confused as to why you want this car. You want one of the worst handling "sports" style vehicles that you can possibly buy for economy? Or because it's familiar? Stupid idea. If you're getting a mustang there's no point in getting the automatic or the v6. You can get just about the same power with better economy if you get the i4, better power with similar economy with the 8. But you want to get the absolute most common, basic,bland ass mustang you can possibly get. If you want economy for real go get yourself a Mazda 3 or a civic. They're comfy, reliable, and get AMAZING gas mileage. Don't start with the "I've driven fleet mazdas and I don't like them" bullshit. Go test drive one before you make assumptions about them. Don't start with the automatic commuter shit either. Unless you live in the bay area, LA, or NYC you have no excuse to get an automatic, and even then it isn't bad. I've got fucked knees from jumping out of airplanes and I commute a manual with little discomfort. I think your real reason for posting here isn't to get someone to disprove you, it's to say "Hey look I'm getting a new car!"
If you REALLY wanted a mustang and had performance in mind, you'd get a manual v8. If you REALLY wanted a commuter mustang you'd get an i4. If you REALLY wanted a new commuter and not just an excuse to buy another mustang, you'd go look at cars that get good gas mileage. In no way, shape, or form is an automatic v6 mustang EVER a way to reconcile both performance and economy. Drive your inbred ass over to a Honda dealership and test a civic or new accord out. The new sport accord trumps the v6 mustang in pretty much every aspect. Price is near, transmission is better, similar power, economy is better, more comfy and utility, handles better, more reliable.
>>
>>15337900
My bad, accord sport is i4. It's the v6-6mt accord that's got similar power and better economy.
>>
>>15337807
It also has better handling than the V8.
>>
>>15337862
Acknowledging output as it relates to fuel efficiency is no different from acknowledging any other performance metric. If you consider it to be irrelevant, do you also consider output to curb weight irrelevant? Or an engine's volumetric efficiency? Or output per price range?
>>
>>15337940
The 2016 Accord V6/6-speed makes 278 hp and is rated at 28 hwy mpg. Both are worse than the V6 auto Mustang.
>>
>>15337900
The i4 is more money than the v6.
The base is v6.

Also I live in the bay area.
>>
>>15337361
>>15337361
>>15337368

The $300 a year in gas is buying a newer v8 vs a newer v6.

>Pricier
I agree with most of your points anon, but this is what makes me think you're retarded.
I got my good condition, mechanically flawless 99 Miata for 2k. When I was looking around for a Mustang, a decent condition one with a V8 manual was upwards of 3500 dollars. Excluding the price of gas, you're already paying more, but when you factor in the cost of a gas drinking v8 vs a good gas mileage i4, you're paying even more over time.

>No back seats
This really isn't all that inconvenient unless you have a family and/or frequently carry more than a single friend in your car. Sure it gets in the way of social stuff, especially when you're in your younger years, but my 2 seater roadster feels fucking amazing. I rarely drive my 2012 Escape anymore, even though it's a new, fancier, more luxurious and spacious car.
If you do have a family and/or need to cart around your friends all the time buying a sports car probably isn't for you, because even a 4 seater Mustang will be inconvenient. I'd recommend a G35 sedan or some other sporty sedan/wagon if someone needs space but wants something fast.

>They are not arguably better, they are better in your opinion.
Agreed, but disagree at the same time.
The Mustang is better in a straight line, and the Miata is better around curves, among other things. That's not an opinion, that's a solid fact. Each person should buy a car because it suits their needs. For me, I like driving fast around turns and having a cheap, reliable car that I can beat on and enjoy, then still use it to get me to work the next day, which is why I bought a Miata.

also didn't even mention that the Mustang is the most bland sports car on the road, with the least amount of personality because literally everyone and their teenage daughter has one, but that's just my personal opinion.
>>
Let's post alternatives instead of our subjective opinions which buying a specific model ultimately comes down to.

If you are budgeting in mpg and that means more to you than power than you obviously want to finance a newer car to feel like you have "made it" like all the other fools you see financing cars that depreciate 10x or more what they consume in gas. You don't even really care about sports cars, you just like the look of the mustang.

I think you probably don't need a car that is that big, but you want a car with a decent sized engine that is easy to drive.

G35. It's been done a thousand times and you should probably do it again. Classier styling, and honestly a sportier car than the mustang.

Or you could always be like us and get a real sports car. =)
>>

>>
>>15339095
Funnily enough, the mustang has beaten Miatas and BRZs around the track, the thing is that while the mustang is very capable of turning and generate more lateral acceleration, it has tons of body roll.

Also OP already said that he was a Mustang because it feels similar to his older V8.

A g35 is a nice car, although slower than a Mustang and with (believe or not) shittier interior and way more unreliable.

So a Ford Flex? I don't know anon, what if he grabs a V6 mustang and then he turbo boost it to 600hp?
>>
>>15339757
It's probably worth noting that image relates to the NC Miata and not the current ND.

Not that I'm especially confident in it beating a V6 Mustang around the track, but it's going to be closer.

Well it depends, the new mustangs also have better times around the track (1 or 2 seconds) thanks to its upgraded suspension.

>>15338646
Has about 20 hp more but 11 less of torque, also the Mustang is just as fast and has a manual option instead of 7speed auto.

I'll invalidate you. It's fucking stupid. You're going to spend several thousand on damn near the exact same car, not just in sale price, but repairs and additional insurance. All that money that could go into your V8 Mustang even just keeping it on the road. The miles you're not putting on the V8 will not help it retain nearly the cost of owning that V6. Using that money to maintain your V8 properly will keep it going just as well and probably longer than either if you split the cost of ownership. You're literally financially retarded.

I would sell that old V8 and keep the V6 desu, I mean he even says that the V6 is faster than his V8 so there is no point.

14k? That's way too much, those usually cost no more than 9 or 10k.

>>15343177
I'm driving 30k miles a year. I don't want to put all the miles on the v6.

>>15342301
You didn't factor in the cost of me not wanting to kill myself on the drive home doing the 5 speed thing.
The only keep the v8 I've been thinking is doing an auto swap on my 2v v8 and then buying a 5.0 for my fun car.
>>
>>15344497
>instead I'll own two cars and split the mileage between them
What that other guy said, you're financially and literally retarded.
>>
>>15344513
In what way? The insurance cost on an older mustang that I don't have comp on is nearly nothing. It gets very close in mileage to the car I'm interested in buying but is much more easily maintained and I can buy a new motor for cheap when this one blows up on me.
The price I'm willing to pay to not have to drive a 5 speed after work in stop and go traffic is likely more than you are willing to.

>>15330704
Nigga for 18-20 you can get a used 2014 GT.

My first car was a 2005 automatic V6 Mustang. Had a lot of fun with it over the year and a half that I had it. Throw an aftermarket exhaust on there and it sounds great, just accept the fact that it's not fast, and you'll do fine.
>>
>>15344562
The 2011 v6 mustang is faster than the v8 of the 2004.
>>
>>15344513
if it wasn't clear for what ever reason my commute is relatively even split between an ~300 mile high+city+stop and go commute Monday through Friday, And a highway only commute of ~300 miles Friday night though Sunday night commute. With all the of driving between friday night and sunday night being pleasure driving without lots of traffic.
They are two different cars for two different tasks.
>>
>>15344605
>two different cars for two different tasks
>so I'll get two of the same car despite the fact that it will be much more expensive to maintain both

Look, you're blowing through the miles on whatever you buy, so maybe buying something more economical is the key here. Is the v6 brand new? If so, it's going to depreciate like a rock. If not, maintenance will catch up with you soon enough. Either way, you'll be spending a lot more on insurance and maintenance than you are right now.

The best idea I've heard so far is to get a slightly used economical car with good amenities (bluetooth, nice seats etc) for the daily slog, and keep your mustang for the weekend jaunts. Second best idea is to buy a new mustang using your current one as trade in. Third best is keeping the current car. Then comes your idea, to keep your current car and get another mustang (because god forbid you have different cars for different uses and/or have to adjust to a different brake pedal feel for the first 5 minutes you're changing over from one car to another).

I like that you didn't mention road noise. or ride quality, just those "amenities" instead of the actual ride.
I've driven thousands of different cars working at dealerships over the years (I'm finally out which is why I can afford to buy another car for just commuting) the idea that the only difference between cars is 5 minutes of break pedal is an astounding understatement.
I'm not buying new, the fucking OP is about me buying a 2011-2014 v6. A++ would listen to a post that is about as long or longer than the OP you couldn't read again.
>so maybe buying something more economical is the key here
See>>15330552 Where I'm looking at a 2011 GT vs buying a 2011 v6.

Muscle cars are meant to go in a straight line as fast as possible.

>>15339757
The genesis has better lap times too. That doesn't mean the genesis is better than a brz.

If they can compete against a BMW M3 around the track and win in the straight line, why wouldn't a muscle car be track material?

Only retards would say that a modern muscle car should only be using for drag racing.

>>15344562
2011+ V6 are faster than 2004 v8s and just as fast as 2010 GTs. I also had a 2005 auto v6 and now that i have this 2011 v6 manual, its in a whole different league, more so because it has the PP.

The V6 is pretty fucking good, it even turns better than any mustang pre 2011 that isn't some kind of special edition.

>>15345000
Depends on what Genesis, the one in the picture is faster in Tracks where the Mustang speed limit of 115mph kicks in.
In general they are both pretty even.
>>
>>15345036
My point is that the genesis sucks dick.
>>
>>15345045
Oh, well ots an ok car, but the shifter sucks dick.
>>
>>15344497
Just sell the v8 and buy the v6 senpai, no point in keeping the old mustang.
>>
No one stated why you actually wouldn't buy a v6 Mustang? They are literally worthless in resale value. The GT will hold fairly well in comparison. Much like the Camaro and full size pickups you always get the V8.
GT manual Mustang will sell with 100k miles for 3x more than an auto V6 of the same year later when you need to sell it.

>why wouldn't a muscle car be track material?

Because they aren't built for it? Yeah, they do "okay" on a track but they aren't designed with it in mind.

>>15345808
This is an actual good reason easily the best in the thread. I'll have to see if I can figure out the expected loss in value.

V6 master race.

They ARE designed with that in mind, hence why they are able to properly turn since 2011.
Going by your logic, everybody should only be getting GTRs, Corvettes or similar.

You can put a turbo in it and make 500hp.

They both depreciate to pretty much the same rate.
A fully loaded v6 costs about 13k and you can get it for like 10 if you search enough.
A fully loaded 2011 v8 costs about 21k and you can get it for 18k if you look hard enough.
They both cost about half ad much as how they were originally priced.
