I've tested vehicles costing three and four times the convert- ible's sticker price that hasn't turned nearly as many heads. Everywhere I drove, top up or down, I received warm smiles and thumbs-up, along with no shortage of praise from passersby almost every time I got in or out of the vehicle. All that for a design that's now nearly a decade old. Of course, the "Gotta Have It" green paint job with black top and Mustang Club of America striping didn't hurt. This $2,900 package adds a dark stain- less steel billet grille, fog lamps, rear deck- lid spoiler, 18-inch aluminum wheels and more. Overall, the look is classic, yet clean, with an alchemy of dimensions, curves and character lines that somehow out- shines even the most fetching models from the past. Ford engineers were equally meticulous on the inside. They've included a few well- chosen retro cues-- like the old-school gauges and steering wheel-- and have in- corporated modern updates like a multi- info display between the speedo and tach, and controls for cruise, phone and audio on the wheel. Can't say I miss the yestertech sliders and old pushbutton radio. Climate and audio, along with a host of other functions are now handled via the eight-inch SYNC touchscreen that on my car also included optional voice-activated navigation and rearview camera. Seating up front is as comfortable as it is attractive with the optional $1,500 leath- er package. It is also manageable in rear, provided the front buckets are positioned for a driver and front passenger of medium height. Legroom can otherwise be a challenge, but the deeply inset rear seats, strategically angled, provide more head clearance than you'd think. My only gripe, with this car in particu- lar, was that the black roof, headliner and upholstery all combined for a dark and rather steamy passenger cabin. But all that can be remedied by drop- ping the top. Which is the point of owning a con- vertible anyway-- even during the often rainy and cool summer that is just winding down. It can be argued that our climate doesn't justify buying a drop top, and I'll admit that I haven't driven this Mustang in cold weather. Mind you, the fabric roof does a good job at silencing traffic and road noise, and quite a few online forums seem to support the idea. And I've always believed that once you reach a certain age, mine for example, it's time to buy the car you really want - and then battle with your spouse as to who gets stuck with the blasted minivan.
