2009 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible

The base 2009 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible comes with a sprightly 4.0-liter V6 and a capable five-speed manual transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes bring things to a halt quickly and sit behind 16-inch alloy wheels. The cloth front bucket seats are comfortable and supportive, and the driver’s side is height-adjustable. The split-folding rear seat is best for luggage - preferably of the hand variety. A tilt steering wheel will help you find your perfect seating position. Air conditioning and power mirrors, windows, and locks offer convenience, along with remote keyless entry and a center console for storage. Floormats keep dirt and mud off the carpets, and a tachometer sweeps upward as your right foot presses downward. An AM/FM/CD player with digital media connection comes standard, and variable-intermittent wipers and a rear defogger keep the glass clean. A power ragtop gives the option of topless trouble. For safety, the V6 is provided with dual front and front side airbags, a tire pressure monitor, and a theft-deterrent system.
