Hey all,
After a good amount of looking around and test driving some I have narrowed it down to two cars I am looking at. They are around the same price and that is the 11-14 GT or the 16+ Ecoboost. I know this forum section might be a little biased but I ask for you to help me with an objective opinion.
I can get a premium Ecoboost for around 26k or I could get a GT premium for around 20-25k... I drive an 03 GT now and am 23 years old along with being male....
I wish I could get a 2016 premium GT but they are just too far out of range for now. I personally really want creature comforts because I will be in this car for a good while. It will be my DD. The premium in the new cars is super nice and what is making me think about straying away from the V8. Although I drove a 16 GT and holy smokes... Those engines are scary fast when coming from a 03 lol.
I also feel like I will really miss the V8 sound. But the Ecoboost will save me some money on insurance, and comes with more comforts on the inside plus better MPG. I test drove a 2013 v6 vert and it didn't seem NEAR as well made as the 15+'s do. I don't use the extra power too much, but I definitely like to get squirrelly sometimes :thumb:
I didn't enjoy the Ecoboost that much though. It felt like the turbo kicked in too late, and I was having to shift as it really got going. When the turbo was going though, it felt really powerful. The V8 felt amazing and very smooth throughout the RPM's. I can try to find a 11-14 V8 with the technology package but those seem far and few between.
TBH though the GT and Ecoboost will probably end up around the same. I'll save 40 bucks on payments if I go the GT route, or 40 bucks on the insurance with the Ecoboost route. The Ecoboost will come with fully warranty though which is nice. I won't be modding voiding warranty's with any modding. For a 23 year old guy that just graduated and will be getting a new car (this is gonna all be a little after getting a good job) which do you guys all think will fit me? Was the quality of the 2013 v6 vert maybe just bad from the car maybe being wrecked (I didn't check into the car that much, not sure if it was or wasn't) because even the doors closing didn't sound as solid and nice.
I appreciate all advice and help. I'm having trouble deciding basically between better technology or the bigger motor. Both has pros and cons, just wish I could have my cake and eat it too with the 16 GT
P.S. Mods move this to general if you think it should be there instead. I was just wanting a good amount of opinions on interior quality from people who have this generation GT.
