2009 Ford Mustang 2-door Deluxe Convertible

Last year, Americans once again purchased record numbers of Ford Mustang Convertibles, no small feat when you consider the Mustang's main rival, the Chrysler Sebring, offers a bigger back seat, more trunk space and a hard-top option. But the iconic Mustang offers something even the most tricked-out Sebring can't – instant cool. That's because the 2009 Ford Mustang Convertible has somehow avoided the genderization we Americans seem to assign such cars. It is seen as neither too masculine nor too feminine, an attribute that allows for a healthy cross-section of shoppers for the V6 and GT trims. Of course, a price tag starting around $25,500 doesn't hurt, either. In the end, it's a sure bet that even a more expensive price wouldn't deter people from making this convertible Number One.

You'll like the 2009 Ford Mustang Convertible if you're looking for a sporty, four-passenger ragtop that's a thoroughly modern take on a classic model. In the GT trim, the Mustang offers more bang-for-the-buck than pricier models from BMW, Nissan and Audi, all wrapped in a package that smacks of the red, white and blue.	Though better than that of the last generation, the Mustang's rear seat is still not as welcoming as the Chrysler Sebring's or Toyota Solara's. The lack of an independent rear suspension may offend some enthusiasts, as will the abundance of hard plastic surfaces inside the cockpit.

The most notable change for 2009 is the addition of more features to the Premium packages.
