I drive a 2006 Ford Mustang Convertible with a V6 and manual transmission. With the summer in full swing in Chicago, it is great to put the top down and enjoy the weather. The Mustang has good pickup and the manual transmission seems to give a little extra get up and go. The car is well built but has some what of a rough ride but then it is a sports car. I would recommend the Ford Mustang and find it a great summer car!
