Love My 2009 Mustang

My 13 year old Escort Wagon finally gave up. I considered a Toyota, just not very exciting. I finally settled on a 2009 Mustang and love it. I had a Thunderbird in 1960, with the Lincoln engine. That T-Bird would pass anything but a gas station. Gas was about 39 cents a gallon. The new Fords are so much better. Straight highway driving i can get 27 at 80 miles an hour. I love it, best thing about the new cars is no carb. I had to get used to all the electronics, my manual was used a lot in the beginning. My new Mustang is smarter then me.

Marty You rock Richard! I laughed out loud when I read that your Thunderbird passed anything but a gas station. I was born in 1960 but gas was cheap for a long time and I remember 39 cent gas. My home town gas wars driving the price very low sometimes. I'm Driving a 1999 Mercury Sable LS with just 68K actual miles. Forunately for me it has every option available for 1999, but I'm saving all the time for my next new Mercury. Best of luck with the Mustang!

I am the owner of a 2011 Lincoln MKS and I like my car very much however I have several suggestions for future models: Cruise control buttons: Too many control buttons on MKS. My 2001 Acura TL does it with 2 buttons (accelerate/resume and set/decelerate) separated by an elevated cancel. Easy to do without looking while driving a highway at 70 MPH. Hard to do without looking at the controls on the MKS because it has too many buttons. Unlock/lock The MKS should have the option to unlock automatically when I approach the car and lock automatically when I walk away. It also should have the option to open OTHER doors when I approach the car. Now I have to open the door and use the inside unlock button to open the other doors or reach into my pocket to use the remote. Ride:Ride with the high performance tires is too firm.
