Mustangs don't generally try to compete with the BMWs in refinement. Ford knows they've got a good thing going with the low end hot rod, and they've been putting out some great cars. However, they don't offer anything for me with that extra level of refinement that people expect over 50K.
Absolutely. But I'm not a guy who needs the finest of everything. The Boss 302 is a far cry from a Hawaii rental. Comes stock with Recaros. They're a drivers car so electronics are not a priority. At $40K it was a steal. You should try one sometime, they're fun if you don't take yourself too seriously.
