Can there be a more visually stunning depiction of fun than the 2013 Ford Mustang convertible? Picture yourself cruising down the highway with the top down–the wind blowing through your hair- -as you rev up the raspy, 3.7 liter, V6 engine of the sporty Mustang and you’ll be glad you live in Lake Havasu where the weather is top-down, year round. But if you live in somewhere like Pennsylvania, you can get best car insurance in Pennsylvania and still be just as ready to roll. Complete with a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission or a standard six-speed manual transmission. 
One trip to Bradley Ford to test drive this re markable vehicle and you’ll be a Mustang be liever. The 2013 model has ample upgrades and revisions, while retaining the classy, muscle-car look and feel that distinguishes the Mus tang brand. From the Shelby-inspired grill and memorable mustang emblem, this is a car you want to see and want to be seen in. This newest model has xenon headlights with LED accents, functional hood vents, and updated taillights. The interior sports a new information display/ gauge cluster that is easy to read and modern while retaining that “classic” nostalgic, Mustang look. 
The convertible is sleek and sporty and very impressive at first glance, but further inspection is where the details really shine; the V6 engine deliv ers an impressive 305 hp while receiving a comfortable 31 mpg EPA Hwy rating. And that’s on the entry level model—if you desire a real need for speed you might consider the V-8 powered GT 5.0 liter power pack that delivers 420 hp. Even the entry-level model includes upgrades in suspension and brake packages and has the innovative Ford Sync-voice-activation sys tem onboard. 
The base convertible–V6 model, has a sporty package consisting of 17-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, a limited-slip rear differential, keyless entry, integrated blind-spot mirrors, cruise control, air-conditioning, full power ac cessories, a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack. Quite a nice package of accessories in the base model that allow you to take full advantage of the Mustang’s versatility—either with the top up or down. Since you’re more than likely going to spend a major portion of your leisure time in your Mus tang convertible, you might consider upgrading to the V-6 Premium package that has a vast array of comforts for audiophiles. A premium eight-speaker Shaker sound system with satellite radio and an iPod/USB audio interface provides the perfect surround-sound experience. In addition, the upgrade also includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror, color-adjustable gauges and ambient lighting, a color information display between the gauges, and up graded interior trim.
Ford’s Sync voice-activation features greater ease of use of the audio, phone, and navigation systems. Standard safety features for all 2013 Ford Mustangs include: antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, and traction control and stability control. Also standard in manual transmission models is the hill-start assist. A relatively new feature is Ford’s MyKey system, which allows owners to limit speed and audio volume levels for young drivers. A nice feature if you’re willing to hand over the keys of this sporty, classic Mustang convertible to your kids.
