The Ideal Convertible Muscle Car: Why the Mustang EcoBoost is the Better Choice

Obviously, the new 435 horsepower Mustang GT has been getting all the attention and rightfully so; it's a great muscle car. However, if you're looking for a fun convertible that you can afford to buy and actually drive every day, we think the Mustang EcoBoost convertible is a better choice. It's true that there is a V6 powered Mustang available, but the 4-cylinder EcoBoost version is more powerful and gets better gas mileage.

The premium model features the Forge 3 10 horsepower EcoBoost 2.3L inline 4, paired to a six-speed select shift automatic transmission. This configuration provides plenty of power without being a gas hog. We're getting better than 30 MPG gallon on the highway, which is a nice surprise for a car that's this much fun. The 2015 Mustang's muscular exterior is eye-catching, and the new independent rear suspension transforms what was a bouncy uncontrolled driving experience into a smooth sporty ride.

Mustang drivers can corner with confidence and practically stop on a dime thanks to an improved braking system inside better materials in an overall sleeker design. This has got Mustang fans buzzing, and we definitely appreciate the vintage flare, like the classic three-spoke steering wheel, toggle switches, and shift knob. As for comfort and convenience, this is a well-designed convertible with an available 12-speaker Shaker pro audio system. So, even with the top down and the wind in your hair, you can enjoy your music.

The seats are fairly comfortable, but some of the buttons and switches are a little small considering the car's overall beefy feel. The top is easy to put up or down and does a good job of keeping noise out. We also like the easy-to-install boot that uses part of the top and these plastic inserts. Other features include standard remote start with optional heated and cool leather seats, which are great for year-round top-down driving.

The 2015 Mustang also includes SYNC with MYFord Touch and optional navigation as a feature. When it comes to safety, adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning and the blind spot information system with cross traffic alert are available on the new Mustang. However, if you want a real muscle car, by all means get the Mustang GT. Bargain hunters will want the V6 convertible, which starts at less than $30,000.

If you're looking for the best combination of performance, price, fuel economy, and fun, our money is on the Mustang EcoBoost convertible. It's a great choice for anyone who wants a fun convertible that they can afford to buy and actually drive every day.
