Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / August 20032003 GT convertible as "family car"?
Hi folks, i am considering to buy a brandnew stang convertible as a "everyday's car". I am 5ft6" - will my kids (5yr. and 9yr.)fit in the back? we currently run a 2000 sebring convertible which is to be replace by the stang (what a difference i know!). I live in germany so i have troubles to make an "real world" test - there are not many dealers here that sell stangs. any suggestions and may photos are appreciated...

If you even had to ask the question I won't be able to explain why. -- ZombyWoof The wages of sin are death, but after taxes are taken out, it's just a tired feeling. They are a little tight on leg room in back as the kids grow, but on the up side, kids think the car is so cool, they just don't care. Not a lot of trunk room either, but neither stopped me when my children were home.

The Mustang is not a family car. Remember, kids grow > Hi folks, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Client Server, Inter- und Intranet Development and Planning > http://www.ckaas.de I regularly transport my two kids, both ~4'10" and >100 lbs, in the back of my '98 GT; sometimes with an adult in the passenger seat. At this size, they are beginning to grumble about the lack of leg room. When they get bigger, I'll have to resort to the strategy of choice: "Would you rather ride or walk?" My Mustang is OK for short hauls, but it gets pretty cramped pretty fast -- esp. for the body that gets stuck behind this 6'3" driver.

But you and the kids will love the car.

They liked it alot when we did doughnuts in the mall's parking lot, tire smoke and all... Mustangs are fun for the entire family, but then again, I am an unconditional... Enjoy!

Chris Something I failed to mention... when I put three or four adults in my Cobra.. she squats.. I mean SQUATS.. lord help me if I need to go over a speed bump, or in a driveway that has much of a rise at all. With 4 adults, I'm really uncomfortable with how the car feels overloaded weight wise. I believe my car was lowered a bit before I got it though, it has always seemed lower than my GT. Kate | Hi folks, | [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] | Client Server, Inter- und Intranet Development and Planning | http://www.ckaas.de Makes it more interesting. A piece of conversation for sure... > Something I failed to mention... > when I put three or four adults in my Cobra.. she squats.. I mean SQUATS.. [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > | Client Server, Inter- und Intranet Development and Planning > | http://www.ckaas.de I think it is a bad idea. I understand that gas prices in germany are very high and these mustangs especially 5.0 drink a lot. Add that to the fact tha your kids will be growing in leaps and bounds and you have recipe for a car that you out grow in about 2 to 3 years. > Hi folks, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Client Server, Inter- und Intranet Development and Planning > http://www.ckaas.de >Hi folks, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >Client Server, Inter- und Intranet Development and Planning >http://www.ckaas.de If I can cram a cooler full of beer... Myself at 6'2.. My Friend at 5'6... and FOUR girls.. and 2 12 inch subwoofers in the trunk.. into a 2000 V6...simoultaneously Then you can fit your kids in the back.... Stephan |
