I haven't picked it up yet. I'm $2,000 short, so he's holding it for me. I gave him $1,000 out of this check and I'll give him the last $1,000 next week and bring her home.

Agreed.........Mustangs of that era had horrible stick shifts. Long travel, long ratio gears.......Plus engine pulses that could be felt through the shifter constantly......

As far as styling, yours is a lot better than the 95-98, which had no logic to their lines at all.

95-98 was a sad generation.

Given.

That car's widest point was above the door handle, making it look top-heavy and awkward.

The cleanest looking Mustang ever made were the late 80's models

I really like the 2010 Mustang. Gear shifting is pretty sweet not to mention the car looks good.

Totally agree!!! If I wanted a payment, that car would be on the short list.

Definitely a huge improvement in styling over the 09.............But still the visibility from inside isn't that good

No worse than the Challenger or the Camaro.
