2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Review

As far as cars go, I've been a Mustang fan since childhood as my father owned a Mach 1 convertible in England during the early '70s. The vehicle was rarer than hen's teeth in the UK back then, and could halt London traffic on occasion. Yes, while most Brits peddled around in Lucas-riddled MGBs and their little Austin Whatchamacallits, I rode shotgun in one of America's greatest ever creations: the muscle-bred Pony car!
Of course since then, we've seen the good, the bad and the downright ugly sport the famous grille mascot. However, I'm pleased to announce that, of late, there's been nothing but thoroughbreds prancing around the blue oval corral; and this statement certainly pertains to the new 2013 Mustang GT convertible.

Yes, I know it still sports a solid rear axle which is perhaps viewed as a tad old-hat nowadays, but in many ways this simply adds to the charm of the vehicle. You see, while others attempt to recreate the old muscle-car flavour using present day platforms, the Mustang is the only one (in my book) that truly feels like the evolution of its granddaddy.
