I drove one this week, it is a V6 Auto. If I didn't know it was a V6 I would have thought it was a V8. I haven't driven a GT yet, I think I won't for a while because I love my 97. If I drive one I will have to have it! The automatic is so smooth it is like driving a BMW or something like that. I have read all kinds of opinions on the 05s on this board and others, most want to put down the V6 cars, but I am sure 99% of the put downs have never driven one. I was truly impressed, it has the power of my 4.6 easily.
The car drives like a dream and the body fit is unbelievable, no noise. When you open the door, the window automatically goes down about 1/4 inch and when you close it it seals back up. Lotta people complain about all the plastic inside, but EVERY CAR ON THE ROAD has all plastic inside, this is 2005!!!
I detailed this car with Zaino, the finish is awesome. everything about it is impressive. The only thing I didn't like is the wheels. They look great, but they are a PITA to clean, it takes about 10 minutes a wheel to detail. The everyday driver person who takes it to the car wash is going to have some really dirty wheels all the time, the car wash is not going to get them clean, too many surfaces.
