Houston seems like it would be too hot in the summer. I don't put mine down much in the middle of summer here, it's usually about 100 every day.

Ive got to ask the question....

Do you plan to drive this car year round?

Reason, This car sucks in the snow. Absolutely sucks beyond all suckiness.

When I lived in Ohio, I was in my Stang on a snow covered road, doing 20 MPH Max, suddenly without warning.. I was sideways... scary moment...

Same as winter, pick and choose your times with it down, was told that the trick with windows up and heat on used in cooler times works with a/c in hotter times...

Ok, that sounds like a reasonable convertible season... if you don't mind the ice hanging from your windshield header :devil: ! I was thinking the same thing about the snow... I have had a Mustang in one form or another from 1992 until last year and dreaded driving them in snow. They always felt one powerslide away from :wave: goodbye to any control!

I used to drive a 2wd EXT Cab Ford Ranger ... That is the worst car in the snow ever..

Having said that. The New Mustangs come out in September. At least thats what the Ford Dealership told me... Wait till then and get The New Mustang.

I agree 100% about leasing. If the only way you can afford the car is by getting a low lease payment, you obviously can not afford the car. Leasing is the most expensive way to buy a car.

Oops! I should have read the whole thread before posting. I see its too late to get you to think twice about a lease. Oh well, it looks nice, I hope you enjoy it.

If we're talking snow, get a Land Rover.
