Thanks for finding my Snuggie, Dutch.
hmmm debating if i should trade in my GTI for the new 2018 mustang GT. Base model looking at 33k OTD and 2017 GT with performance package looking at 31k OTD. That power and rwd seems tempting, but the interior for non premium GT is trash compare to the GTI SE trim and up.

The interior on any Ford product is horrendous
If you want a manual, go '15-'17. If you want that sweet 10 speed auto '18 is 100% worth it
Agreed based on the interior of my '14 premium GT, although '15 and up has gotten quite a bit nicer.

another ex-Stang guy here 2012 V6 to a 2017 GTI. Both were faster on the street than you should go but the GTI is more fun. I know on a track the Stang was faster and had the looks but the GTI does so much very well I am glad with my choice. They both cost about the same (the Stang was a base model with the perf upgrades) but the Stang took the time and effort of a suspension upgrade to make it fun on two lane blacktop.
I admit to missing the jealous eyes of folks when I drove by in the Stang.

Mustang GT have any rev hang? never drove one before. I just hate how all modern day turbos have rev hang nowadays making driving in city a pain.

Agree, the Ford MT82 manual transmission is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. They should have used the Tremec manual tranny. That new 10 speed auto that was co-developed with GM is supposed to be great though.

Coming from a 16 SS Camaro, I can tell you all that they handle great and get decent mpg if you drive them normally...they are damned quick and fast....but the ergonomics SUCK and for such a large car they have no practical cargo or passenger room...Mustangs are more livable ergos...but they are also pretty much one trick cars with bad mpg...iI guess thats why I drive a tuned GTI...closest thing I could find to a practical car that handles well and is capable of passing with authority

Well Said. I had a 14 GT and with a 3rd child on the way, those 2 door days are over. I'm 42 and the GTI is the most FUN and PRACTICAL car ive ever owned. Never thought I could put those 2 words in the same context.
